With this commit, the default behavior is to display popups while there
is a fullscreen application only if the popup belongs to that
application (as determined by the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint which
applications have to set properly).
fixes#663
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).
Fixes#464
Runs the same code as for non-stacked / non-tabbed containers, but on the
parent of the container (which is the stacked / tabbed con, since route_click
gets called with the child).
Thanks to Merovius for doing a proof of concept on this one and
being a driving force behind the idea.
Using RandR instead of Xinerama means that we are now able to use
the full potential of the modern way of configuring screens. That
means, i3 now has an idea of the outputs your graphic driver
provides, which allowed us to get rid of the ugly way of detecting
changes in the screen configuration which we used before. Now, your
workspaces should not be confused when changing output modes anymore.
Also, instead of having ugly heuristics to assign your workspaces
to (the screen at position X or the second screen in the list of
screens) you will be able to just specify an output name.
As this change basically touches everything, you should be prepared
for bugs. Please test and report them!
