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.
When `complete-run.pl` is given `--coverage-testing`, try to generate an
html coverage testing report for the run. This requires i3 to be
compiled with coverage testing support.
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)

Handle changes to the property _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL by reallocating
screen space in the dock area when the dock client requests a new
position.
This will allow changes to the bar config directive `position` to be
effective on the `reload` command.
fixes#1294
This introduces a "separator_symbol" property for the i3bar configuration.
If set, the specified string will be used as a separator instead of a vertical line. Since it is an optional configuration, complete backwards compatibility is given.

This reverts commit cbd51ce664.
If you’ve started using this feature, I’m very sorry, but I think it’s
better to revert it entirely, as it will only cause more problems in the
future as more and more people upgrade and get bitten by this if we
didn’t revert it…
fixes#1536
Add the `--whole-window` switch for mouse bindings. This switch controls
what part of the container the pointer must be over to trigger a mouse
binding. The default is to only trigger mouse bindings over the
titlebars. With this switch, a mouse binding will be triggered over the
main part of the window as well.
This is a breaking change to the previous behavior, which would trigger
a mouse binding with a modifier over any part of the window.
fixes#1429
Send the affected workspace in the "current" property for each workspace
event for any type of workspace event that affects a particular
workspace.
fixes#1411
Rather than just toggling the fullscreen modes, allow to set them
directly with:
fullscreen enable|toggle [global]
fullscreen disable
For compatibility, retain the previous command and its toggling behavior:
fullscreen [global]
fixes#1120
Copy the binding struct before running it and use this copy to emit the
binding event.
This fixes a crash when the command `reload` is used in a binding when
the binding event is emitted.
The binding event will be triggered when a binding is run as a result of
some a user action. The binding event has the following properties:
change: (str) Currently this will only be "run" but may be expanded in
the future. Included for consistency with other events.
binding: (map) the serialized binding
The "binding" member will have these properties:
input_type: (str) either "keyboard" or "mouse"
input_code: (int) the xcb keycode of the keyboard binding if it was
provided or the mouse button if it is a mouse binding.
symbol: (str) the string representation of the input code
command: (str) the bound command
mods: (list of str) a list of the modifiers that were pressed as string
symbols
fixes#1210
Replace the XDummy script with Xephyr. This is done because of some
changes in the Xorg server that make XDummy difficult to use.
Rename library internal variables and function names to replace "xdummy"
with "xserver" to show this change (except for renaming the package and
lib file for better git history).
Rename the switch `--keep-xdummy-output` to `--keep-xserver-output`.
This switch should now be rarely used because Xephyr requires less set
up.
Replace "xdummy" with "xephyr" in comments and utility help
information. Update docs to show the new dependency.

When a named workspace (i.e., a workspace that has a name that does not
begin with text that can be parsed as an integer greater than or equal
to zero) is represented by the ipc as a workspace json object such as
can be queried with `i3-msg -t get_workspaces`, set the num property to
-1 instead of json null.
This is for convenience of ipc consumers using type-constrained
languages such as C which have difficulty cleanly expressing nullable
integers.
fixes#1368
We're going to call parse_configuration() very early if -C is given on
the command line. Instead of the previous "only_check_config", which has
been a global variable, we now simply pass use_nagbar as false if we're
just validating.
This causes the whole parsing to run without X and of course without
starting nagbar and displaying the errors to standard out/error instead.
The return code of parse_configuration() is now a boolean which
represents whether an error occured during parsing and the programs exit
code is returned accordingly.
Although the config parser still has a lot of side-effects, we now can
parse without the need to have an XCB connection. A nicer implementation
would be to just set the new font and load it just after we're done
parsing, but to ensure we don't break functionality we just load a dummy
FONT_TYPE_NONE if XCB isn't available. The main reason for going this
route is that it's a bit difficult to test fonts in a distribution
agnostic way without bundling fonts with i3 (or Xdummy to be more
exact).

Raise a window when cycling focus between floating windows with `focus
[direction]` command so that newly focused windows are rendered on top
of other windows.
This is done by placing the window last in the floating nodes of the
parent and reordering the stack so the relative order is preserved.

i3 processes changes to WM_CLASS by updating the cached property and
running assignments. This allows the property to be used in criteria
selection.

When a window becomes managed, explicitly set the current border width
to the default instead of relying on the default value of -1 to apply
the correct value.
Now that there are two different kinds of default borders, a border
width value of -1 is ambiguous. This can lead to different border widths
effectively being applied when the container changes from tiling to
floating, which is surprising behavior.
This commit extends behavior introduced in this commit to normal
borders:

Explicitly set current border width when BS_PIXEL

Users can specify a command to run when a button was pressed on i3bar to
override the default behavior. Currently only the mouse wheel buttons
are supported. This is useful for disabling the scroll wheel action or
running scripts that implement custom behavior for these buttons.
Example:
bar {
wheel_up_cmd nop
wheel_down_cmd exec ~/.i3/scripts/custom_wheel_down
}

Fixes a bug where a normal floating default border is not applied when
the default tiling border is set to a pixel value.
This bug was introduced in this commit:

Consider motif border for floating geometry
Fixes a comment that claimed default floating border could override
motif hints, which was never the case.

Test that the EWMH specified property _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT is updated
properly on the root window. We interpret this as a list of x/y
coordinate pairs for the upper left corner of the respective outputs of
the workspaces.
This test is for this commit:

I have seen this message once or twice, but since the actual error
message was not included, I cannot definitely say what’s going on.
I think it might be a race condition where the file with the specified
tmpname() already exists, but let’s be sure before we attempt to fix it.
Test that the EWMH specified property _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES is updated
properly on the root window. We interpret this as a list of the open
workspace names.

A window may become unmapped on manage when an assignment command unmaps
the window, such as moving it to the scratchpad or killing it.
This can cause i3 focus to be an unmapped window and different than X
focus which can lead to complications
fixes#1283
If a `workspace {N}` or `move to workspace {N}` command is given with N
as a plain number, the workspace of this number is selected for the
context of the command if one exists and there is no workspace with a
name that exactly matches N.
A container selected with criteria should be moved with the `move
[direction]` command, instead of this command always acting on the
focused container.
