Add a subcommand for `smart_gaps` that enables outer gaps only
on workspaces with exactly one visible child.
Also add documentation for `smart_gaps toggle`.
Instead of disabling it for some workspace subcommands, this explicitly
calls it only in the 2 places it's actually needed: for switching to a
named or numbered workspace.
This extracts the code to a separate workspace_auto_back_and_forth
function.
It also removes the bool argument by adding an extra if statement at the call
site, and repurposes the no_auto_back_and_forth variable to
auto_back_and_forth for simpler understanding.
Pending state is currently inlined directly in the container struct,
while the current state is in a state struct. A side-effect of this is
that it is not immediately obvious that pending double-buffered state is
accessed, nor is it obvious what state is double-buffered.
Instead, use the state struct for both current and pending.
workspace_squash is container_flatten in the reverse
direction. Instead of eliminating redundant splits that are
parents of the target container, it eliminates pairs of
redundant H/V splits that are children of the workspace.
Splits are redundant if a con and its grandchild have the
same layout, and the immediate child has the opposite split.
For example, layouts are transformed like:
H[V[H[app1 app2]] app3] -> H[app1 app2 app3]
i3 uses this operation to simplify the tree after moving
heavily nested containers to a higher level in the tree via
an orthogonal move.
In i3, the workspace_layout command does not affect the
workspace layout. Instead, new workspace level containers
are wrapped in the desired layout and the workspace layout
always defaults to the output orientation.
To query whether a container is sticky, checking `con->is_sticky` is
insufficient. `container_is_floating_or_child` must also return true;
this led to a lot of repetition.
This commit introduces `container_is_sticky[_or_child]` functions, and
switches all stickiness checks to use them. (Including ones where the
container is already known to be floating, for consistency.)
Sticky floating containers on an otherwise empty workspace can only be
evacuated if the new output has an active workspace. The noop output may
not have one and in that case we have to move the whole workspace to the
new output.
If moving e.g. `T[app app]` into a new workspace with `workspace_layout
tabbed`, then post-move the tree in that workspace will be `T[T[app
app]]`. This still happens with horizontal or vertical workspace layout,
but is less visible since those containers have no decorations.
Fixes#5426.
Since each seat has its own focus, do not destroy a workspace until it
is no longer focused by any seat. This prevents seats from being forced
to evacuate the workspace just because another seat switched focus away
from it
Since output names can change in various configurations, including
DisplayPort MST, prefer output identifiers for the output priority.
Users can still use `workspace <ws> output <names-or-ids>`, but any
output that is programmatically added to the list will be added under
the output identifier. If the output name exists in the list (from the
user workspace output configs), then that will be retained instead of
switching to the output identifier for that output.
Instead of tracking gaps per child apply gaps in two logical places:
1. In tiled containers use the layout code to add the gaps between
windows. This is much simpler and guarantees that the sizing of children
is correct.
2. In the workspace itself apply all the gaps around the edge. Here
we're in the correct position to size inner and outer gaps correctly and
decide on smart gaps in a single location.
Fixes#4296
The function used for comparing two output names in the workspace
output priority lists was inverted. This was causing priority to not be
stored correctly resulting in workspaces not always being restored or
moved to the desired outputs
This patch fixes faulty command parsing introduced by
f0f5de9a9e. When that commit allowed
criteria reset on ';' delimeters in commands lists, it failed to account
for its inner ','-parsing loop eating threw the entire rest of the
string.
This patch refactors argsep to use a list of multiple separators, and
(optionally) return the separator that it matched against in this
iteration via a pointer. This allows it to hint at the command parser
which separator was used at the end of the last command, allowing it to
trigger a potential secondary read of the criteria.
Fixes#4239
When moving a container to become a direct child of the workspace and
the workspace's layout is tabbed or stacked, wrap it in a container
with the same layout. This allows for the following:
- Run `layout tabbed|stacked` on an empty workspace (or use
`workspace_layout tabbed|stacked` in the config)
- Open some views
- Move one of the views in any direction
- Open another view
- The new container should also be `tabbed`/`stacked`
This moves setting `seat->prev_workspace_name` from `workspace_switch`
to `set_workspace`. `workspace_switch` is only called when using a
`workspace` command to change the workspace so any workspace change
based on criteria was not altering `seat->prev_workspace_name`. By
moving it to `set_workspace`, which is called by `seat_set_focus`, it
will change any time focus changes to a node on a different workspace
This changes `workspace_next_name` to use the next available number as
the workspace name instead of the number of outputs. This fixes the case
where a number that is already in use could be returned. The workspace
numbers in use have no relation to the number of outputs so it makes
more sense to use the lowest available number
This allows the focused inactive tree node and visible workspaces to be
changed while a surface layer has focus. The layer temporarily loses
focus, the tree focus changes, and the layer gets refocused.
When a layer surface is focused, `seat_get_focused_workspace` will be
NULL. This changes `workspace_get_initial_output` to use output of the
focus inactive. If the focus inactive is also NULL, then either the
first output or the noop output will be used as fallbacks.
This commit mostly duplicates the wlr_log functions, although
with a sway_* prefix. (This is very similar to PR #2009.)
However, the logging function no longer needs to be replaceable,
so sway_log_init's second argument is used to set the exit
callback for sway_abort.
wlr_log_init is still invoked in sway/main.c
This commit makes it easier to remove the wlroots dependency for
the helper programs swaymsg, swaybg, swaybar, and swaynag.
This combines `output_by_name` and `output_by_identifier` into a single
function called `output_by_name_or_id`. This allows for output
identifiers to be used in all commands, simplifies the logic of the
callers, and is more efficient since worst case is a single pass through
the output list.
This allows for output identifiers and to be used in the `workspace
<workspace> output <outputs...>` command. Previously, only output names
would be allowed. If an output identifier was given, it would never match
an output. This also allows for the wildcard character (`*`) to be
specified, which can be used to generate a list of workspace names that
should be used when generating new workspaces
`i3 4.16` allows users to list multiple outputs for a workspace and the
first available will be used. The syntax is as follows:
`workspace <workspace> output <outputs...>`
Additionally when the workspace is created, the outputs get added to the
output priority list in the order specified. This ensures that if a higher
output gets connected, the workspace will move to the higher output. This
works the same way as if the user had a workspace on an output, disconnected
the output, and then later reconnected the output.
This introduces the following command extensions from `i3-gaps`:
* `gaps horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left <amount>`
* `gaps horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left all|current
set|plus|minus <amount>`
* `workspace <ws> gaps horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left
<amount>`
`inner` and `outer` are also still available as options for all three
of the above commands. `outer` now acts as a shorthand to set/alter
all sides.
Additionally, this fixes two bugs with the prevention of invalid gap
configurations for workspace configs:
1. If outer gaps were not set and inner gaps were, the outer gaps
would be snapped to the negation of the inner gaps due to `INT_MIN`
being less than the negation. This took precedence over the default
outer gaps.
2. Similarly, if inner gaps were not set and outer gaps were, inner
gaps would be set to zero, which would take precedence over the
default inner gaps.
Fixing both of the above items also requires checking the gaps again
when creating a workspace since the default outer gaps can be smaller
than the negation of the workspace specific inner gaps.
This approaches cursor rebasing from a different angle. Rather than
littering the codebase with cursor_rebase calls and using transaction
callbacks, this just runs cursor_rebase after applying every transaction
- but only if there's outputs connected, because otherwise it causes a
crash during shutdown.
There is one known case where we still need to call cursor_rebase
directly, and that's when running `seat seat0 cursor move ...`. This
command doesn't set anything as dirty so no transaction occurs.
* When using multiple seats, each seat has its own prev_workspace_name
for the purpose of workspace back_and_forth.
* Removes prev_workspace_name global variable.
* Removes unused next_name_map function in tree/workspace.c.
* Fixes memory leak in seat_destroy (seat was not freed).
The input manager is a singleton object. Passing the sway_input_manager
argument to each of its functions is unnecessary, while removing the
argument makes it obvious to the caller that it's a singleton. This
patch removes the argument and makes the input manager use server.input
instead.
On a similar note:
* sway_input_manager.server is removed in favour of using the server
global.
* seat.input is removed because it can get it from server.input.
Due to a circular dependency, creating seat0 is now done directly in
server_init rather than in input_manager_create. This is because
creating seats must be done after server.input is set.
Lastly, it now stores the default seat name using a constant and removes
a second reference to seat0 (in input_manager_get_default_seat).
When a view unmaps, we call workspace_consider_destroy. This function
assumed the workspace would always have an output, but this is not the
case when hotplugged down to zero. The function now handles this and
allows itself to be destroyed when there is no output.
This means that workspace_begin_destroy must remove the workspace from
the root->saved_workspaces list to avoid an eventual dangling pointer,
so it does that now.
Lastly, when an output is plugged in again and it has to create a new
initial workspace for it, we must emit the workspace::init IPC event
otherwise swaybar shows no workspaces at all. I guess when you start
sway, swaybar is started after the workspace has been created which is
why this hasn't been needed earlier.
While allowing negative values for the outer gaps it is still prevented that negative values move windows out of the container. This replaces the non-i3 option for edge_gaps.
* Create a view on workspace 1
* Switch to workspace 2 (on the same output) and create a floating
sticky view
* Use criteria to focus the view on workspace 1
Previously, we only moved the sticky containers when using
workspace_switch, but the above method of focusing doesn't call it. This
patch relocates the sticky-moving code into seat_set_focus_warp.
A side effect of this patch is that if you have a sticky container
focused and then switch workspaces, the sticky container will no longer
be focused. It would previously retain focus.
In seat_set_focus_warp, new_output_last_ws was only set when changing
outputs, but now it's always set. This means new_output_last_ws and
last_workspace might point to the same workspace, which means we have to
make sure we don't destroy it twice. It now checks to make sure they're
different, and to make this more obvious I've moved both calls to
workspace_consider_destroy to be next to each other.
This changes our gaps implementation to behave like i3-gaps.
Our previous implementation allowed you to set gaps on a per container
basis. This isn't supported by i3-gaps and doesn't seem to have a
practical use case. The gaps_outer and gaps_inner properties on
containers are now removed as they just read the gaps_inner from the
workspace.
`gaps inner|outer <px>` no longer changes the gaps for all workspaces.
It only sets defaults for new workspaces.
`gaps inner|outer current|workspace|all set|plus|minus <px>` is now
runtime only, and the workspace option is now removed. `current` now
sets gaps for the current workspace as opposed to the current container.
`workspace <ws> gaps inner|outer <px>` is now implemented. This sets
defaults for a workspace.
This also fixes a bug where changing the layout of a split container
from linear to tabbed would cause gaps to not be applied to it until you
switch to another workspace and back.
When we eventually implement `workspace <ws> gaps inner|outer <px>`,
we'll need to store the gaps settings for workspaces before they're
created. Rather than create a workspace_gaps struct, the approach I'm
taking is to rename workspace_outputs to workspace_configs and then add
gaps settings to that.
I've added a lookup function workspace_find_config. Note that we have a
similar thing for outputs (output_config struct and output_find_config).
Lastly, when freeing config it would create a memory leak by freeing the
list items but not the workspace or output names inside them. This has
been rectified using a free_workspace_config function.
