This commit changes the meaning of sway_container so that it only refers
to layout containers and view containers. Workspaces, outputs and the
root are no longer known as containers. Instead, root, outputs,
workspaces and containers are all a type of node, and containers come in
two types: layout containers and view containers.
In addition to the above, this implements type safe variables. This
means we use specific types such as sway_output and sway_workspace
instead of generic containers or nodes. However, it's worth noting that
in a few places places (eg. seat focus and transactions) referring to
them in a generic way is unavoidable which is why we still use nodes in
some places.
If you want a TL;DR, look at node.h, as well as the struct definitions
for root, output, workspace and container. Note that sway_output now
contains a workspaces list, and workspaces now contain a tiling and
floating list, and containers now contain a pointer back to the
workspace.
There are now functions for seat_get_focused_workspace and
seat_get_focused_container. The latter will return NULL if a workspace
itself is focused. Most other seat functions like seat_get_focus and
seat_set_focus now accept and return nodes.
In the config->handler_context struct, current_container has been
replaced with three pointers: node, container and workspace. node is the
same as what current_container was, while workspace is the workspace
that the node resides on and container is the actual container, which
may be NULL if a workspace itself is focused.
The global root_container variable has been replaced with one simply
called root, which is a pointer to the sway_root instance.
The way outputs are created, enabled, disabled and destroyed has
changed. Previously we'd wrap the sway_output in a container when it is
enabled, but as we don't have containers any more it needs a different
approach. The output_create and output_destroy functions previously
created/destroyed the container, but now they create/destroy the
sway_output. There is a new function output_disable to disable an output
without destroying it.
Containers have a new view property. If this is populated then the
container is a view container, otherwise it's a layout container. Like
before, this property is immutable for the life of the container.
Containers have both a `sway_container *parent` and
`sway_workspace *workspace`. As we use specific types now, parent cannot
point to a workspace so it'll be NULL for containers which are direct
children of the workspace. The workspace property is set for all
containers, except those which are hidden in the scratchpad as they have
no workspace.
In some cases we need to refer to workspaces in a container-like way.
For example, workspaces have layout and children, but when using
specific types this makes it difficult. Likewise, it's difficult for a
container to get its parent's layout when the parent could be another
container or a workspace. To make it easier, some helper functions have
been created: container_parent_layout and container_get_siblings.
container_remove_child has been renamed to container_detach and
container_replace_child has been renamed to container_replace.
`container_handle_fullscreen_reparent(con, old_parent)` has had the
old_parent removed. We now unfullscreen the workspace when detaching the
container, so this function is simplified and only needs one argument
now.
container_notify_subtree_changed has been renamed to
container_update_representation. This is more descriptive of its
purpose. I also wanted to be able to call it with whatever container was
changed rather than the container's parent, which makes bubbling up to
the workspace easier.
There are now state structs per node thing. ie. sway_output_state,
sway_workspace_state and sway_container_state.
The focus, move and layout commands have been completely refactored to
work with the specific types. I considered making these a separate PR,
but I'd be backporting my changes only to replace them again, and it's
easier just to test everything at once.
When we have type safety we'll need to have functions for
workspace_add_tiling and so on. This means the existing container
functions will be just for containers, so they are being moved to
container.c. At this point layout.c doesn't contain much else, so I've
relocated everything and removed the file.
* container_swap and its static functions have been moved to the swap
command and made static.
* container_recursive_resize has been moved to the resize command and
made static.
* The following have been moved to container.c:
* container_handle_fullscreen_reparent
* container_insert_child
* container_add_sibling
* container_add_child
* container_remove_child
* container_replace_child
* container_split
* enum movement_direction and sway_dir_to_wlr have been moved to util.c.
Side note: Several commands included layout.h which then included
root.h. With layout.h gone, root.h has to be included by those commands.
Workspaces previously had a magical `workspace->floating` container,
which had a layout of L_FLOATING and whose children were actual floating
views. This allowed some conveniences, but was a hacky solution because
the container has to be exempt from focus, coordinate transactions with
the workspace, and omit emitting IPC events (which we didn't do).
This commit changes it to be a list directly in the sway_workspace. The
L_FLOATING layout is no longer used so this has been removed as well.
* Fixes incorrect check in the swap command (it checked if the
containers had the L_FLOATING layout, but this layout applied to the
magical container).
* Introduces workspace_add_floating
This commit renames container_sort_workspaces to output_sort_workspaces
and moves it to output.c.
This also renames container_wrap_children to workspace_wrap_children and
moves it to workspace.c. This function is only called with workspaces.
Things worth noting:
* When a fullscreen view unmaps, the check to unset fullscreen on the
workspace has been moved out of view_unmap and into container_destroy,
because containers can be fullscreen too
* The calls to `container_reap_empty_recursive(workspace)` have been
removed from `container_set_floating`. That function reaps upwards so it
wouldn't do anything. I'm probably the one who originally added it...
* My fix (b14bd1b0b1) for the tabbed child
crash has a side effect where when you close a floating container, focus
is not given to the tiled container again. I've removed my fix and
removed the call to `send_cursor_motion` from `seat_set_focus_warp`. We
should consider calling it from somewhere earlier in the call stack.
This PR changes the way we handle transactions to a more simple method.
The new method is to mark containers as dirty from low level code
(eg. arranging, or container_destroy, and eventually seat_set_focus),
then call transaction_commit_dirty which picks up those containers and
runs them through a transaction. The old methods of using transactions
(arrange_and_commit, or creating one manually) are now no longer
possible.
The highest-level code (execute_command and view implementation
handlers) will call transaction_commit_dirty, so most other code just
needs to set containers as dirty. This is done by arranging, but can
also be done by calling container_set_dirty.
* The arrange_foo functions are now replaced with arrange_and_commit, or
with manually created transactions and arrange_windows x2.
* The arrange functions are now only called from the highest level
functions rather than from both high level and low level functions.
* Due to the previous point, view_set_fullscreen_raw and
view_set_fullscreen are both merged into one function again.
* Floating and fullscreen are now working with transactions.
This commit changes how commands decide what container to act on.
Commands get the current container though `current_container`, a global
defined in sway/commands.c. If a criteria is given before a command,
then the following command will be run once for every container the
criteria matches with a reference to the matching container in
'current_container'. Commands should use this instead of
`get_focused_container()` from now on.
This commit also fixes a few (minor) mistakes made in implementing marks
such as non-escaped arrows in sway(5) and calling the "mark" command
"floating" by accident. It also cleans up `criteria.c` in a few places.
