This introduces the flag --exclude-titlebar for mouse bindings which
allows bindings like
bindsym --whole-window --border --exclude-titlebar button3 focus
fixes#2347
This event is triggered when the connection to the ipc is about to
shutdown because of a user action such as with a `restart` or `exit`
command. The `change` field indicates why the ipc is shutting down. It
can be either "restart" or "exit".

This commit is a rewrite of the popup dialogs used when i3 crashes. We now
use our draw_util suite and both properly react to EXPOSE events and clean
up the windows when the handler exits.
As a side-effect, this fixes#2422
This commit introduces proper support for the minimum size on floating
windows by ensuring that it is respected during mapping, later changes as
well as resizes.
Furthermore, this commit fixes minor issues with how the hints are handled
during calculations.

This comes with the intentionally undocumented --disable-randr15 command
line flag and disable-randr15 configuration directive. We will add
documentation before the release if and only if it turns out that users
actually need to use this flag in their setups. Ideally, nobody would
need to use the flag and everything would just keep working, but it’s
better to be safe than sorry.

https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30353 was filed for the unintended
line break between in e.g. “TAILQ_ENTRY(foo)\nbar;”.
Until that’s fixed or a workaround is known, we’ll live with line
breaks. To make it a bit easier for readers to see what’s going on, I
added extra line breaks around each such struct member/variable
definition, so that they at least visually are a single unit.

Including config.h is necessary to get e.g. the _GNU_SOURCE define and
any other definitions that autoconf declares. Hence, config.h needs to
be included as the first header in each file.
This is done either via:
1. Including "common.h" (i3bar)
2. Including "libi3.h"
3. Including "all.h" (i3)
4. Including <config.h> directly
Also remove now-unused I3__FILE__, add copyright/license statement
where missing and switch include/all.h to #pragma once.
We strive to avoid conditional compilation in i3 as much as possible.
cairo and pangocairo have been around long enough in the versions that
we need that it’s time to unconditionally depend on them.
Also update DEPENDS with the last-known-good-versions while at it.
This commit correctly handles colormaps by
* Using the static default colormap we determine on startup if the
con has the corresponding depth. This avoids creating pointless
colormaps.
* Not freeing the default colormap to not have stray colormaps on
containers. This fixes an issue with certain programs such as xwd.
* Creating a custom colormap when necessary and freeing it when the
container is killed.
fixes#2435
since OpenBSD pthread does not support pthread_condattr_setpshared().
This patch could also stay in the OpenBSD ports tree or depend on a
configure test macro rather than defined __OpenBSD__.
Use case:
* When managing multiple terminals in a workspace, the borders makes it easier
to know where the focus is, but when there is only one it's obvious where the
focus is.
* When there's only a web browser for example, the borders are actually counter-
productive since it makes clicking a side scrollbar or a tab a bit harder (if I
smash my cursor to the side or the top of the workspace, I have to move it in
the other direction by just a few pixels to be able to grab it)
Behaviour:
* No borders when there's a single window in a workspace
* Borders when there are multiple windows in a workspace
fixes#2188
This patch introduces a new 'set_from_resource' config directive which
allows defining a variable by retrieving its value from the X resource
database. This avoids having to configure a color scheme in multiple
files. The directive takes an additional fallback value which is used
in case the resource cannot be found or during config validation where
no X connection is available.
Furthermore, this patch includes the following changes:
- If the same variable is defined twice, we now properly overwrite the
value of the assignment rather than inserting two variable definitions
with the same key.
- We now depend on xcb-util-xrm to query the resource.
- Increase the buffer size for variable / resource assignments.
fixes#2130
If an output is disabled during a restart, for example because a binding
such as
bindsym $mod+Shift+r exec "xrandr --auto", restart
is used, it can happen that we first write the layout to disk and only
then receive the RandR change events. This leads to a situation where
the restored tree will contain these outputs, but the restarted i3
process will not receive the RandR events, thus the internal output in i3
is marked disabled.
This patch finds these cases after a restart and force-disables the
affected outputs.
fixes#2326
This code has been neutralized for many years now and served no purpose
other than cluttering up the code. We obviously don't need it and it's
out of date anyway.
If there's ever any reason to restore (parts of) it, we have git for
that. But we don't need to keep commented out code around.
Previously we counted the number of (direct) children of the workspace to
decide whether no_focus should be applied or not. However, this doesn't
work correctly if there's a single container with multiple windows on the
workspace.
This patch correctly counts all windows on the workspace.
fixes#2292
This is a followup to #2049. While we had fixed that bug by only grabbing
buttons 4 and 5 if there is a whole-window binding for that button, this
did not consider buttons higher than 5 as found on many mice.
Therefore, we now ditch the special handling for scrollwheel buttons and
instead do the same for all buttons higher than 3.
fixes#2271
With this change, multi-monitor presentations (e.g. as implemented by
LibreOffice Impress) work out of the box. Previously, one had to move
the presentation windows to the right outputs oneself.
This patch introduces a proprietary atom I3_FLOATING_WINDOW which will be
set and maintained for floating windows and removed on tiling containers.
This allows users to select on this atom, e.g., in their compositor
configuration or in utility scripts (without using the IPC).
fixes#2223
Manually updating a magic number doesn’t work in the long run.
With this change, the number of atoms contained in
include/atoms_NET_SUPPORTED.xmacro is used.
fixes#2230
Until now, only the config directive for borders (new_window,
new_float) respected the DPI setting (using logical_px). This
patch makes sure we also do so for runtime "border" commands.
fixes#2202
We now build a docker base container based on debian sid (where the very
latest packages are available). That base container is updated once a
month, or whenever travis-build.Dockerfile or debian/control change, but
re-used for subsequent travis runs. While the initial build might take
up to 15 minutes, subsequent builds typically run in a minute or two.
All the different steps that we run on travis are now factored into
separate scripts in the travis/ directory.
Switching to docker should also help with issue #2174.
We already claim _NET_WM_DESKTOP support in _NET_SUPPORTED since around 2009,
but haven't actually done anything with it. However, especially pagers like
gnome-panel rely on this property to be updated and many tools, like GTK, want
to use the corresponding client messages to make a window sticky, move it
around etc.
This patch implements full support according to the EWMH spec. This means:
* We set the property on all windows when managing it.
* We keep the property updated on all windows at all times.
* We read and respect the property upon managing a window if it was set before
mapping the window.
* We react to client messages for it.
* We remove the property on withdrawn windows.
Note that the special value 0xFFFFFFFF, according to the spec, means that the
window shall be shown on all workspaces. We do this by making it sticky and
float it. This shows it on all workspaces at least on the output it is on.
Furthermore, the spec gives us the freedom to ignore _NET_WM_DESKTOP when
managing a window if we have good reason to. In our case, we give window
swallowing a higher priority since the user would likely expect that and we
want to keep placeholder windows only around for as long as we have to.
However, we do prioritize this property over, for example, startup
notifications.

This patch moves the title_format information from windows to containers.
Furthermore, it allows correctly setting it on window-less containers and
displays the title accordingly for split containers.
We now also dump and read title_format in GET_TREE / during restarts.

Corrects the cases where the colorpixel is not 0xRRGGBB : we have to
use the full color_t struct to describe font colors, as Pango expects
RGB values and not an XCB colorpixel value.
We now execute the validations when "kill" is executed even if match
criteria are used. This prevents users from killing workspace containers,
which instead kills all clients (as before when not using criteria).
fixes#1761
It should be clear for callers of this function that this is an internal
function that skips certain validations which might be important. Therefore
we make it clear that this is an internal function by renaming it.

This commit fixes#1969 by adding support for matching a window's type
against _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION. The userguide and tests were
updated to reflect this change.
Previously, using a command like
[con_id=foo] kill
would kill the currently focused window because while an error for
not being able to parse the con_id was logged, no further action
was taken, which caused the criterion to be ignored. In this case,
the fallback behavior of using the focused window took over.
For con_id, id and window_type we now reject incorrect values with
an error and abort the command.
fixes#2091
With this patch, we use 32-bit visuals per default whenever it is
available. Otherwise, we fall back to the actual root window's
depth, which will typically be 24-bit.
Before this patch, we already used 32-bit depth for containers with
a window that uses 32-bit. However, this means that we didn't use
32-bit for split parent containers on which decoration is drawn.
For 32-bit windows using transparency, this caused a graphical glitch
because the decoration pixmap behind it would show through. This
behavior is fixed with this change.
relates to #1278
With this patch we remove the temporary draw_util_colorpixel_to_color
function we introduced previously by parsing the colors as color_t to
begin with.

This patch migrates all decoration rendering of i3 to cairo. Using the
compile switch CAIRO_SUPPORT, rendering can be switched back to the
previous XCB behavior, just like with the previous migration to cairo
in i3bar.
This patch also fixes a bug in draw_util.c where copying one surface
to another would use incorrect coordinates if the source coordinates
are not 0, 0.
Furthermore, this patch implicitly fixes some minor issues in the
decoration rendering which would be ignored previously due to the fact
that errors would only show up in the event queue, but not cause the
rendering code path to crash. One example is zero-height pixmaps which
are not allowed. Using cairo, these would cause i3 to instantly segfault,
so this patch avoids this.
Lastly, this patch annotates other issues found but not fixed in this patch
using TODO comments, e.g., the zero-height check not working correctly
and the comment that it should probably work the same way for zero-width
pixmaps.
relates to #1278
In order to prepare for using cairo for rendering i3 decorations,
we need to make the draw_util.c from i3bar available via libi3 such
that both i3bar and i3 can use it.
relates to #1278
With this patch, we support the special value "0" for _NET_WM_USER_TIME
on a window upon managing it, which indicates that the window shall not
be focused.
fixes#2064
With this patch, we only grab the scrollwheel buttons (4 and 5) when
managing a window if a whole window key binding exists for these buttons.
This allows both of these usecases:
- Bindings to scrollwheel buttons using --whole-window (see #1701).
- Scrolling in a window without focusing it if no such binding
exists (see #2049).
Furthermore, we drop all button grabs and regrab them after a config
reload in order to reevaluate the new bindings correctly.
fixes#2049
We refactor the button grabbing into a function to allow the next patch
both to
- conditionally grab different sets of buttons
- grab the buttons again when reloading the config.
relates to #2049
This patch introduces the possibility to specify the tray_output directive
multiple times. All values will be used by i3bar, in the order they are
given.
This way, a single bar configuration can be used for several machines with
internal output names "eDP1" and "LVDS-0" by specifying tray_output for both.
Any external output (e.g., "DP-0") will still not receive the tray. The same
effect can be achieved by using "primary", but forces the user to couple the
tray display to the primary output which may not be desirable behavior.
relates to #555
This patch extends the previously introduced flag --no-auto-back-and-forth
to also apply to
move window to workspace <name>
move window to workspace number <number>
relates to #2028
Since splitting a docking container was allowed and successful, the check
to prevent floating it fails to work. This causes a crash because the
workspace of the container cannot be determined as the dockarea is higher
up in the tree than the workspace it belongs to.
This patch extends to sanity check to nested dock containers when trying to
float a container and also disallows manually splitting a docked container
or changing its layout.
fixes#2034
This patch introduces the --no-auto-back-and-forth flag to both of
workspace --no-auto-back-and-forth <name>
workspace --no-auto-back-and-forth number <number>
This flag will only have an effect if the back_and_forth feature is
enabled. If passed, the feature will be ignored for this particular
call only.
fixes#2028
This patch allows using 'unmark' on matched windows. The old behavior
of applying it to all windows if no criteria were specified is kept.
relates to #2014
In order to keep compatibility to before allowing multiple marks on a window,
we introduce a flag "--add" that must be set to put more than one mark on a
window. The default, which is also available as "--replace", keeps the old
behavior of overwriting a mark when setting a new one.
fixes#2014
This patch allows multiple marks to be set on a single window. The restriction that a mark may
only be on one window at a time is still upheld as this is necessary for commands like
"move window to mark" to make sense.
relates to #2014
This introduces the flag "--pango" on the mode config directive to
explicitly enable pango markup for mode names. Not setting this will
cause the mode name to be rendered as is.
This fixes a regression in 4.11 where mode names containing characters
such as '<' would break user's configs as they didn't escape these
characters.
fixes#1992
This patch creates all necessary windows for i3bar with 32-bit visuals if available.
It also introduces the possibility to define RGBA colors (next to RGB colors), which
allows the user to set the opacity of any color. This requires running a compositor.
With this patch we also start supporting _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL, which is necessary
for the tray icons so they create the tray window with the correct depth and visual.
1). See the issue #1926. For example, the second keybinding is not detected as a duplicate:
bindcode Mod4+24 sticky toggle
bindsym Mod4+q focus parent
2). To fix it, check duplicated bindings when translating the keysym to keycodes.
This fixes a bug I introduced in #1921. When restarting i3 in place a
stray workspace was created on the root_output during restart. On first
start, this workspace would have been moved to the first real and empty
output.
However, this does not produce the desired result during restarts when
workspaces are alread present on all real outputs. The stray workspace would
still be added to the first real output which already contains some
workspaces. Thus, adding a new empty workspace to it.
Fix this by delaying creation of the root output's workspace until it is
known whether the output is active or not.
Fixes#1940
This patch introduces a root output covering the root window. It is used
in two cases:
1. RandR is not available. In this case, the previous behaviour of
creating a single output covering the root window is preserved.
2. RandR is available, but there is no active output. In this case,
the root output is enabled and will be the only active output.
If any RandR output becomes available, the root output will be
disabled again. Existing mechanisms for migrating workspaces will
just work without modification.
I've carefully slipped in a global variable `Output root_output` representing
that output.
Fixes#926 and #1489
This commit also reworks the way focusing sticky windows is prevented by not focusing them temporarily at all, but preventing the focus in the first place.
If no other window is available on the active workspace, we now select the EWMH support window (used to indicate that an EWMH-compliant window manager is preent) as the focus window rather than the root window. The NET_WM_ACTIVE window will still be set to XCB_WINDOW_NONE to pretend that no window is actually focused.
This fixes the issue that when using the root window, a fallback mechanism in X11 takes effect which routes keyboard input to the window under the cursor, independent of whether that window has the input focus. Using the EWMH window instead, we can avoid this behavior. We cannot simply set it to XCB_WINDOW_NONE as this would discard all keyboard events, breaking keybindings.
fixes#1378
fixes#1835
This commit improves the translation of keysyms to keycodes by loading
keymaps using libxkbcommon-x11 and using libxkbcommon for figuring out
the keymap, depending on each keybinding’s modifiers. This way, the
upper layers of complex layouts are now usable with i3’s bindsym
directive, such as de_neo’s layer 3 and higher.
Furthermore, the commit generalizes the handling of different XKB
groups. We formerly had support only for two separate groups, the
default group 1, and group 2. While Mode_switch is only one way to
switch to group 2, we called the binding option Mode_switch. With this
commit, the new names Group1, Group2 (an alias for Mode_switch), Group3
and Group4 are introduced for configuring bindings. This is only useful
for advanced keyboard layouts, such as people loading two keyboard
layouts and switching between them (us, ru seems to be a popular
combination).
When grabbing keys, one can only specify the modifier mask, but not an
XKB state mask (or value), so we still dynamically unbind and re-bind
keys whenever the XKB group changes.
The commit was manually tested using the following i3 config:
bindsym Group4+n nop heya from group 4
bindsym Group3+n nop heya from group 3
bindsym Group2+n nop heya from group 2
bindsym n nop heya
bindsym shift+N nop explicit shift binding
bindsym shift+r nop implicit shift binding
bindcode Group2+38 nop fallback overwritten in group 2 only
bindcode 38 nop fallback
…with the following layout:
setxkbmap -layout "us,ua,ru,de" -variant ",winkeys,,neo" \
-option "grp:shift_caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll" \
-model pc104 -rules evdev
By default (xkb group 1, us layout), pressing “n” will result in the
“heya” message appearing. Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback”
message appearing. “j” is not triggered.
By pressing Shift+CapsLock you switch to the next group (xkb group 2, ua
layout). Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback overwritten in group
2 only” message, pressing “n” will still result in “heya”. “j” is not
triggered.
In the next group (xkb group 3, ru layout), pressing “a” will result in
the “fallback” message again, pressing “n” will result in “heya”,
“j” is not triggered.
In the last group (xkb group 4, de_neo layout), pressing “a” will still
result in “fallback”, pressing “n” will result in “heya”, pressing “j”
will result in “heya from group 4”.
Pressing shift+n results in “explicit shift binding”, pressing shift+r
results in “implicit shift binding”. This ensures that keysym
translation falls back to looking at non-shift keys (“r” can be used
instead of ”R”) and that the order of keybindings doesn’t play a role
(“bindsym n” does not override “bindsym shift+n”, even though it’s
specified earlier in the config).
The fallback behavior ensures use-cases such as ticket #1775 are still
covered.
Only binding keys when the X server is in the corresponding XKB group
ensures use-cases such as ticket #585 are still covered.
* common.mk: use -lsocket -liconv -lgen on Illumos/Solaris
* mkdirp: return int and accept a mode argument
* use i3's mkdirp on everything except Illumos
If the match expression is a plain number (e.g., '99'), the number of a workspace will be compared strictly. Otherwise, the match expression is taken as a regular expression and compared against the workspace's name.
This allows all of the following:
for_window [workspace=5] ...
for_window [workspace="5:foo"] ...
for_window [workspace="foo"] ...
fixes#1769
The format string set with "title_format" can contain the placeholder "%title" which will be replaced with the actual window title.
By not overwriting window->name itself, we make sure that assignment matching still works as expected.
fixes#1723
Outputs may disappear momentarily and come back later.
To prevent i3 from exit when no output is available momentarily, add a timeout delay_exit_on_zero_displays.
Introduce a config directive "show_marks [yes|no]" to en- or disable drawing marks on window decorations.
To not change the look & feel of existing configurations, the default is "no".
When a window receives a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message, it can steal the focus. This may not be preferable to all users.
With this directive, the user can choose from one of the following:
1) 'smart' - focus the container if its workspace is visible, otherwise set the urgency flag (default)
2) 'urgent' - always set the urgency flag, do not steal focus
3) 'focus' - always switch focus, never set the urgency hint
4) 'none' - ignore the request entirely (do not switch focus, nor set the urgency hint)
