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.
This commit adds three commands to sway: `show_marks`, `mark` and
`unmark`. Marks are displayed right-aligned in the window border as i3
does. Marks may be found using criteria.
Fixes#1007
A criteria is a string in the form of `[class="regex.*" title="str"]`.
It is stored in a struct with a list of *tokens* which is a
attribute/value pair (stored as a `crit_token` struct). Most tokens will
also have a precompiled regex stored that will be used during criteria
matching.
for_window command: When a new view is created its metadata is tested
against all stored criteria, and if a match is found the associated
command list is executed.
Unfortunately some metadata is not available in sway at the moment
(specifically `instance`, `window_role` and `urgent`). Any criteria
string that tries to match an unsupported attribute will fail.
(Note that while the criteria code can be used to parse any criteria
string it is currently only used by the `for_window` command.)
