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.
May as well make it as easy as possible for users who are coming from
i3.
This also changes the `border` command to accept a thickness when
setting the border to normal. This makes it work the same way as the
`default_border` command. Eg. `border normal 5`
Implements the following commands:
* move scratchpad
* scratchpad show
* [criteria] scratchpad show
Also fixes these:
* Fix memory leak when executing command with criteria
(use `list_free(views)` instead of `free(views)`)
* Fix crash when running `move to` with no further arguments
This implements the following:
* `floating_modifier` configuration directive
* Drag a floating window by its title bar
* Hold mod + drag a floating window from anywhere
* Resize a floating view by dragging the border
* Resize a floating view by holding mod and right clicking anywhere on
the view
* Resize a floating view and keep aspect ratio by holding shift while
resizing using either method
* Mouse cursor turns into resize when hovering floating border or corner
The directive sets the timeout before an urgent view becomes normal
again after switching to it from another workspace.
Also:
* When an xwayland surface removes the urgent hint while the timer is
active, we now ignore the request. This happens as soon as the view
receives focus, so it was effectively making the timer pointless.
* The timeout is now only applied when switching to it from another
workspace.
Introduces a command to manually set urgency, as well as rendering of
urgent views, sending the IPC event, removing urgency after focused for
one second, and matching urgent views via criteria.
Rather than maintain copies of the entire focus stack, this PR
transactionises the focus by introducing two new properties to the
container state and using those when rendering.
* `bool focused` means this container has actual focus. Only one
container should have this equalling true in its current state.
* `struct sway_container *focus_inactive_child` points to the immediate
child that was most recently focused (eg. for tabbed and stacked
containers).
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 only user of this function would copy the string right away
to get rid of the const flag anyway, and freeing a const string
afterwards might work but is not meant to be done according to the
json-c API.
This implements the title_format command, with a new placeholder %shell
which gets substituted with the view type (xwayland, xdg_shell_v6 or
wl_shell).
Example config:
for_window [title=".*"] title_format %title (class=%class instance=%instance shell=%shell)
Implements rendering of borders. Title text is still to do.
Implements the following configuration directives:
* client.focused
* client.focused_inactive
* client.unfocused
* client.urgent
* border
* default_border
Works:
- move [container|window] to workspace <name>
- Note, this should be able to move C_CONTAINER but this is untested
- move [workspace] to output [left|right|up|down|<name>]
Not implemented yet:
- move [left|right|up|down]
- move scratchpad
- move position
Also contains two other small changes:
- Clicking any button will focus the container clicked (not just left)
- Remove seamless_mouse (doesn't make sense on wlroots)
