Sometimes, it may happen that the focus is "nowhere" and thus the
user is stuck. This was often the case with opera, sometimes with
pcmanfm. See ticket #118.
This fixes many problems we were having with a dynamically growing
array because of the realloc (pointers inside the area which was
allocated were no longer valid as soon as the realloc moved the
memory to another address).
Again, this is a rather big change, so expect problems and enable
core-dumps.
For example, you can create a mode which will let you resize windows
with some easy to use keys. So, instead of binding a combination
of your homerow and modifiers to resize, like this:
bind Mod4+44 resize right +10
bind Mod4+45 resize right -10
...
You can instead define a new mode:
mode "resize" {
bind 44 resize right +10
bind 45 resize right -10
...
bind 36 mode default
}
bindsym Mod4+r mode resize
So, if you press Mod4+r now, your keybindings will be set to the ones
defined in your resize mode above. You can then use your homerow
(without any other modifier) to resize the current column/row and
press enter to go back to the default mode when you are done.
Note that using this option requires you to enable the new lexer/parser
by passing the -l flag to i3 when starting.
This warning only showed up with CFLAGS=-O2.
The variables in question could never be uninitialized because
they were definitely set, have a look at the code. But anyways,
less warnings is always a good thing ;-).
Thanks to Mikael for bringing it to my mind. This change introduces
two new color classes, client.urgent and bar.urgent. By default,
urgent clients are drawn in red (colors by Atsutane).
Before this fix, you could go upwards and select the screen which
was at the rightmost because it also was the one topmost (if all
screen’s top position is equal).
Please test this! Plug in screens, unplug them, use your video projector,
change resolutions, etc.
To use the assignments, use the following syntax:
workspace <number> [screen <screen>] [name]
Where screen can be one of:
<number> (It is not provided that these numbers stay constant, so use with care)
<x>x<y> (Coordinates where the screen starts, so 1280 will be fine to match the
screen right of the main screen if your main screen is 1280 pixels
width. However, 1281 will not match)
<x>
x<y>
Some examples follow:
workspace 1 screen 0
workspace 1 screen 1
workspace 1 screen 1280x0
workspace 2 screen 1280
workspace 3 screen x0
workspace 3 screen 1 www
workspace 4 screen 0 mail
Use "bindsym" instead of "bind". You have to use the names of keys
as in xmodmap. To get a list of currently bounud symbols, use
xmodmap -pke
Technical quirk: Xlib generated MappingNotify events upon
XkbMapNotify events (from XKB, as the name says). XCB does not yet
have support for XKB, thus we need to select and handle the event
by ourself. Hopefully, this will change in the future.
Also update documentation (manpage, userguide).
To make the code easier to read/write when checking if a client is
floating, introduce client_is_floating().
Before, we only sent a fake message. While this was sufficient for the
client side most of the time, it didn’t allow us to open floating
windows with the correct size.
Instead of building arrays of colorpixels we can simply use a pointer
to a struct Colortriple. Furthermore, by getting the colorpixels when
loading the configuration, we save a lot of function calls in the
main code.
Details which are missing: A command to hide/show all floating clients,
moving/resizing clients with your mouse holding Mod1 (click anywhere
in the client, not just on its borders), resize/move by keyboard, select
next/previous client by keyboard
We abuse (1 << 8) as mode_switch bit, which is in the range of the
filtered state bits (see previous commit). Therefore, we need to
filter first and then check for mode_switch.
Furthermore, we used 0x2 before, which was just wrong. So, use our
bitmask, not the normal one (0x2).

Sometimes, when the mouse button gets stuck, state contains the bit for
BUTTON_MASK_1 (or other buttons). We filter them out to continue processing
keys correctly.

Killing a dock client and having destroyed workspace 1 before (or the workspace
on which the dock client was started when it was not auto-started) crashed i3 before
this bugfix.
This is a relatively big change, however all cases should be handled by
now.
Because the function to do graphical resizing got rather large, I’ve created
a new file src/resize.c for it.
This fixes ticket #35.

However, it is a bit more flexible obviously. You can specify the
offset of the window you want to go to, to implement workflows like
the following:
* Jump to mutt
* Jump to irssi
* Jump back ("focus 2" would be the command)
Apparantly, under some conditions (using LANG=en_US.UTF-8, other locale
variables unset), asprintf() says "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or
wide character" when given a string in COMPOUND_TEXT encoding.
For now, we properly handle asprintf-errors (this should have been
before), but there might be a better solution.
This fixes ticket #24. The crash appeared only under special conditions:
- The screen on which you switch to must be empty or at least not as
full as the screen on which you were before.
- You switch focus using your mouse.
- You previously selected a column/row which is not availably on the
destination screen (for example (1,1) and switching to an empty
screen).
There was a race condition when mapping a window and not setting the event mask
before. Therefore, the ReparentNotify and (more important) the UnmapNotify generated
by reparenting were not received, thus leaving the awaiting_useless_unmap variable
of the client "true". To just make it work, in previous commits the DestroyNotify
handler was introduced. Fortunately, with fixing this race condition by first
setting the event mask and mapping the window afterwards, we can remove this handler.
As for the dock windows, there were quite some occurences were client->container
was used without checking if the client is inside a container at all.
Furthermore, the client’s strut containing the space to reserve at the screen edge
is now checked and the desired height is set to the window’s height if the strut
contains 0 or if no strut was specified at all.
By specifying XCB_EVENT_MASK_SUBSTRUCTURE_REDIRECT, the window manager
will get map request events instead of map notify events, and therefore
can act sooner (the window won’t be positioned on the screen and moved
afterwards).
Furthermore, this fixes some problems with GIMP/VLC (and probably others)
which caused endless loops.
Also, events which should be ignored are now saved in a queue rather than
saving just the last event. This should eliminate race conditions.
Note that there is a new FIXME in src/handlers.c. Some windows generate
unmap notify events when reparenting while others don’t. We need to
understand, document and implement a more correct way to handle this.
Before, all clients were reconfigured to just raise them, when focus should
be set. However, this generated lots of notify events, which in turn lead
to an endless loop of setting focus, reconfiguring, setting focus, …
