Currently, variables cannot contain commands and cannot span more than
one argument. This is due to variable replacement happening after
determining the handler and after splitting the config line into
arguments.
This changes the process to:
0. Check for empty lines and block boundaries
1. Split the arguments as before
2. Verify that the first argument is not a variable. If needed the
following occurs
a. Perform variable replacement on just the first argument
b. Join the arguments back together then split the arguments again. This is needed when the variable
contains the command and arguments for the command.
3. Determine the handler
4. If the handler is cmd_set, escape the variable name so that it does
not get replaced
5. Join the arguments back together, do variable replacement on the full
command, and split the arguments again
6. Perform any needed quote stripping or unescaping on arguments
7. Run the command handler
This allows for config snippets such as:
```
set $super bindsym Mod4
$super+a exec some-command
```
and
```
set $bg bg #ffffff solid_color
output * $bg
```
The directive controlled whether floating views should raise to the top
when the cursor is moved over it while using focus_follows_mouse. The
default was enabled, which is undesirable. For example, if you have two
floating views where one completely covers the other, the smaller one
would be inaccessible because moving the mouse over the bigger one would
raise it above the smaller one.
There is no known use case for having raise_floating enabled, so this
patch removes the directive and implements the raise_floating disabled
behaviour instead.
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).
This introduces a new view_impl function: is_transient_for. Similar to
container_has_ancestor but works using the surface parents rather than
the tree.
This patch modifies view_is_visible, container_at and so on to allow
transient views to function normally when they're in front of a
fullscreen view.
* New configuration option: raise_floating
(From the discussion on https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2990)
* By default, it still raises the window on focus, otherwise it
will raise the window on click.
Fixes `hide_edge_borders smart` when gaps are in use.
Implements `hide_edge_borders smart_no_gaps` and `smart_borders
on|no_gaps|off`.
Since `smart_borders on` is equivalent to `hide_edge_borders smart`
and `smart_borders no_gaps` is equivalent to `hide_edge_borders
smart_no_gaps`, I opted to just save the last value set for
`hide_edge_borders` and restore that on `smart_borders off`. This
simplifies the conditions for setting the border.
This adds a `con` argument to `execute_command` which allows you to
specify the container to execute the command on. In most cases it leaves
it as `NULL` which makes it use the focused node. We only set it when
executing `for_window` criteria such as when a view maps. This means we
don't send unnecessary IPC focus events, and fixes a crash when the
criteria command is `move scratchpad` (because we can't give focus to a
hidden scratchpad container).
Each of the shell map handlers now check to see if the view has a
workspace. It won't have a workspace if criteria has moved it to the
scratchpad.
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.
