This change only affects clients that are subscribed to events, which
should be the main cause of our problems.
In the common case (no buffered data) the behaviour doesn't change at
all: the message is sent directly, no ev_io / ev_timeout callback is
enabled. Once a write to a client's socket is not completed fully
(returns with EAGAIN error), we put the message in the tail of a queue
and init an ev_io callback and a corresponding timer. If the timer is
triggered first, the socket is closed and the client connection is
removed. If the socket becomes writeable before the timeout we either
reset the timer if we couldn't push all the buffered data or completely
remove it if everything was pushed.
We could also replace ipc_send_message() for all client connections in
i3, not just those subscribed to events.
Furthermore, we could limit the amount of messages stored and increase
the timeout (or use multiple timeouts): eg it's ok if a client is not
reading for 10 seconds and we are only holding 5KB of messages for them
but it is not ok if they are inactive for 5 seconds and we have 30MB of
messages held.

X will not allow a window with ParentRelative background to be created
or reparented under a window with mismatching color depth.
Deal with this by destroying the container frame and creating a new one
with the right depth upon swallowing.
Defer destruction of the frame window until after the updated tree has
been rendered to avoid some distracting flickering.
Fixes#3297
Fix the issue #3227(https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/3227).
1).Make cmd_scratchpad_show() use the information coming from scratchpad_show().
2).Add a test case 298-scratchpad-show.t.
Currently when renaming outputs, an output assignment of "left" will
cause the workspace to move left. Treat this assignment as a proper name
instead (even though it is unlikely an output will be named "left").
Move logic for determining output to move to out of
`workspace_move_to_output`
Add test for ignoring direcionality during rename.
Fixes#3208.
Sending the sync command via IPC ensures pending IPC messages are handled by i3
before the sync response is read. This is rarely useful for direct IPC
connections to i3, but becomes useful when synchronizing with i3bar, which might
have pending IPC messages in response to button clicks.
_NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED is set on _NET_WM_STATE to indicate that the
window is focused. It must be set when the window is newly focused and
removed once the window no longer has focus.
> _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED indicates whether the window's decorations are
> drawn in an active state. Clients MUST regard it as a read-only hint.
> It cannot be set at map time or changed via a _NET_WM_STATE client
> message.
For example, this is used by GTK applications to show the decoration in
an active or inactive state. This change can be tested by opening a GTK
application (like evince), focusing the window and unfocusing the
window, and observing a change in the window decorations.
Fixes#2273
For command:
move window to [absolute] position X px Y px
if the optional keyword 'absolute' is provided the end result is the
same even though it is implemented differently. Only difference is that
with absolute the floating window can move completely outside of any
output.
This commit removes the 'method' argument and only keeps the sane
implementation.
This deals with (admittedly somewhat misbehaving) clients which
use XSetInputFocus to take focus, but then don't properly restore
focus. This has been observed with TK apps, but also, e.g., Steam.

i3bar's handle_button is modified to also handle XCB_BUTTON_RELEASE
events. During these button release events, only custom commands are
checked to avoid sending multiple workspace ipc messages.
The way this patch is implemented will allow to assign a custom command
for both the press and release of the same button:
bar {
...
bindsym buttonX exec command1
bindsym --release buttonX exec command2
}
Fixes#3068.
stbuf.st_size is of type off_t, which the standard defines as “extended signed
integral type”¹, and for which there is no correct printf format string. Hence,
we need to cast it into a hopefully-large-enough type (ugh) and use the
corresponding format string. In our case, int64_t should do it, as config files
really shouldn’t be anywhere close to those numbers.

Allow enabling forced focus wrapping by specifying "focus_wrapping
force" in i3's configuration. This syntax supersedes the previous
"force_focus_wrapping yes" one, which remains available for backwards
compatibility.
All other message types are verbs, only our first-ever message COMMAND wasn’t.
While we’re here, also change the message type dictionary into a table with
clickable links to the corresponding reply type.
Authors of downstream IPC libraries are encouraged to keep the old name around
so as to not break existing code, but mark it as deprecated.
