Previously, if a match specification contained the con_id or con_mark criterion,
all other criteria were ignored. However, a user may want to specify one of
those two unique identifiers and still specify others as well, for example to
match the currently focused window, but only if it has a certain WM_CLASS:
[con_id=__focused__ class=special] kill
We now check all specified criteria.
fixes#2111
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 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
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
Suppose a horizontally oriented workspace has two windows open. Issuing "split h" on
the right window creates a nested horizontal container. If we now resize in "width"
direction, the resize doesn't work because it will only operate on the current parent,
which is a container with only one child, so the resize command exits.
This is unexpected behavior from a user point of view. Hence, with this patch, we
ensure that we don't just go up the tree until we find a parent with the correct
orientation, but also keep going if that parent has only a single child.
fixes#2015
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 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).

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.

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
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
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"] ...
