This allows "modifier none" (and "modifier off") for the bar config
in order to disable the modifier key altogether. This is useful
for users who use a different approach to hiding / showing the bar,
e.g., a custom keybind that involved multiple keys or scripts.
fixes#2208
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
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.
fixes#2120
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.
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.

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
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 adds two new status block keys, background and border, which
define the respective colors for the status block. If not specified, the
current behavior is kept, e.g., no background / border will be drawn.
If the status block is marked urgent, the urgent color is prioritized.
fixes#2022
This allows matching with
[con_id=__focused__] unmark
for commands that do not default to operating on the focused window
if no criteria have been specified (such as unmark).
relates to #2014
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
- Render key names and key bindings verbatim if they could be used like
that in the configuration (no special format for "colloquial" names:
Alt, Windows, ...)
- Use only lower case letters for key bindings
In some cases the IDs of section titles was placed after the section
title. With that in the rendered HTML the ID was placed on the paragraph
and not on the heading. This led to heading not being shown when the
corresponding link was clicked.
The headline indicated that it would be possible to move containers and *workspaces* to marks but the following text clearly shows that it should state containers and *windows*.
See the issue #1798 (http://github.com/i3/i3/issues/1798).
+workspace_next+ as-is cycles through either numbered or named workspaces,
but when it reaches the last numbered/named workspace, it only looks for
named workspaces. This commit changes it: look for named workspaces after
exhausting numbered ones, but also for numbered ones after exhausting
named ones.
Also add a test case 528-workspace-next-prev.t (numbered workspaces and named
workspaces on 2 outputs) for testing this.
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
With this patch, the no_focus directive will be ignored if the
to-be-opened window is the first on its workspace as there's no
reason the user would not want to focus it in this case.
This improves usability when, for example, using a tabbed
workspace_layout.
fixes#1987
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.
1. Allow to use the line continuation, which is indicated by \ before the new line character, in config files.
2. Add a new testcase "247-config-line-continuation.t" for
a). testing line continuation
b). making sure string escaping still works
c). testing line continuations within a string
b). testing line continuations with too many lines
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"] ...

* <xyz> denotes that some string must be used which is not a fixed value (e.g., a command), but a variable string (text, a number, ...)
* [xyz] denotes that the parameter is optional
* abc|xyz denotes that either abc or xyz must be given
* Motivate users to come up with clear and minimal instructions on how to reproduce a problem before submitting an issue.
* Encourage users to restart i3 before reproducing the problem so that the log file can stay small and noise-free.
* Mention the non-support of closed source software.
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.
