Before commit 4976fa3350, setting the
layout of workspaces to something else than the default would just mess
up the parent container of the workspace (the content container).
After that commit, it would create an unnecessary split container when
you change the layout _before_ opening any containers. To avoid this, we
now store the layout (similar to how the 'workspace_layout'
configuration directive works) and apply it when the first container is
attached to the workspace.
Fixes#796
When the workspace layout (formerly orientation) was forced to change
due to a move command, the split container we created was not marked as
split = true, which caused tree_flatten() to errnously kill the contents
of it and thus one window ended up unmanaged.
Also, the logic in tree_flatten() was inverted due to commit de94f6da.
fixes#790
With this commit, the "default" layout is replaced by the splith and
splitv layouts. splith is equivalent to default with orientation
horizontal and splitv is equivalent to default with orientation
vertical.
The "split h" and "split v" commands continue to work as before, they
split the current container and you will end up in a split container
with layout splith (after "split h") or splitv (after "split v").
To change a splith container into a splitv container, use either "layout
splitv" or "layout toggle split". The latter command is used in the
default config as mod+l (previously "layout default"). In case you have
"layout default" in your config file, it is recommended to just replace
it by "layout toggle split", which will work as "layout default" did
before when pressing it once, but toggle between horizontal/vertical
when pressing it repeatedly.
The rationale behind this commit is that it’s cleaner to have all
parameters that influence how windows are rendered in the layout itself
rather than having a special parameter in combination with only one
layout. This enables us to change existing split containers in all cases
without breaking existing features (see ticket #464). Also, users should
feel more confident about whether they are actually splitting or just
changing an existing split container now.
As a nice side-effect, this commit brings back the "layout toggle"
feature we once had in i3 version 3 (see the userguide).
AFAIK, it is safe to use in-place restart to upgrade into versions
after this commit (switching to an older version will break your layout,
though).

The C compiler will handle (void) as "no arguments" and () as "variadic
function" (equivalent to (...)) which might lead to subtle errors, such
as the one which was fixed with commit 0ea64ae4.
- Introduce warp_to static variable in x.c that stores the coordinates
to warp to as a Rect.
- Add x_set_warp_to function to set this variable. Use in _tree_next,
workspace_show, and con_move_to_workspace.
- In x_push_chanages, if warp_to is set, then call xcb_warp_pointer_rect
and then reset it to NULL.
This fixes all know bugs for pointer warping for me.
Generally, the traversal goes: numbered workspaces in order, and then
named workspaces in the order in which they appear in the tree.
Example:
Output 1: Output 2:
1 3 D C 2 4 B A
Traversal: 1, 2, 3, 4, D, C, B, A, 1, ...
Note, after the numbered workspaces, we traverse the named workspaces
from output 1, and then output 2, etc.
Use 'kill window' to kill a specific window (for example only one specific
popup), use 'kill client' to kill the whole application (or X11 connection to
be specific).
Due to lots of cases which were added and added to tree_move(), the function
was not really easy to understand. For this refactoring, I wrote tree_move()
from scratch, thinking about (hopefully) all cases. The testsuite still passes.
The move command also has different parameters now. Instead of the hard to
understand 'before v' stuff, we use 'move [left|right|up|down]'.
