In i3 the layout command on a workspace affects the workspace layout
only on empty workspaces. Otherwise children are placed in a new
container with the desired layout to preserve the workspace layout.
Previously, `layout toggle` and `layout toggle split` would set L_VERT
when layout was L_HORIZ, otherwise it would set L_HORIZ. This meant
that when the layout was L_TABBED or L_STACKED, it would always be
L_HORIZ. This extends #4315 (which corrects the handling when multiple
layouts are given) to try prev_split_layout,
config->default_orientation, and then falling back to L_VERT when the
output is taller than wide and L_HORIZ when wider than tall.
This fixes the logic of split for layout toggle when the default
layout is L_TABBED or L_STACKED. When the default layout is L_TABBED
or L_STACKED, the container/workspace may not have a prev_split_layout.
This was causing L_NONE to be returned by get_layout_toggle, which was
being handled as a syntax error. This adds logic to try
config->default_orientation when prev_split_layout is L_NONE. If that
is also L_NONE, then L_VERT is used when the output is taller than
wide, otherwise, L_HORIZ is used.
When setting fullscreen on a hidden scratchpad container, there was a
check to see if there was an existing fullscreen container on the
workspace so it could be fullscreen disabled first. Since the workspace
is NULL, it would cause a SIGSEGV. This adds a NULL check to avoid the
crash.
This also changes the behavior of how fullscreen is handled when adding
a container to the scratchpad or changing visibility of a scratchpad
container to match i3's. The behavior is as follows:
- When adding a container to the scratchpad or hiding a container back
into the scratchpad, there is an implicit fullscreen disable
- When setting fullscreen on a container that is hidden in the
scratchpad, it will be fullscreen when shown (and fullscreen disabled
when hidden as stated above)
- When setting fullscreen global on a container that is hidden in the
scratchpad, it will be shown immediately as fullscreen global. The
container is not moved to a workspace and remains in the
scratchpad. The container will be visible until fullscreen disabled
or killed. Since the container is in the scratchpad, running
`scratchpad show` or `move container to scratchpad` will have no
effect
This also changes `container_replace` to transfer fullscreen and
scratchpad status.
Patch tested by compiling with `__attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3)))`
applied to `cmd_results_new`.
String usage constants have been converted from pointers to arrays when
encountered. General handler format strings were sometimes modified to
include the old input string, especially for unknown command errors.
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.
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.
* In layout command, arrange parent of parent - not sure why this is
needed but it is
* Remove gap adjustment when rendering
* Workspace should use outer gaps, not inner
* Add exceptions for tabbed and stacked containers
* Don't mess with gap state when splitting a container
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.
* Add and use lenient_strcat and lenient_strncat functions
* Rename `concatenate_child_titles` function as that's no longer what it
does
* Rename `container_notify_child_title_changed` because we only need to
notify that the tree structure has changed, not titles
* Don't notify parents when a child changes its title
* Update ancestor titles when changing a container's layout
* Eg. create nested tabs and change the inner container to stacking
* No need to store tree presentation in both container->name and
formatted_title
Replaces arrange_windows() with arrange_root(), arrange_output(),
arrange_workspace() and arrange_children_of().
Also makes fullscreen views save and restore their dimensions, which
allows it to preserve any custom resize and is also a requirement for
floating views once they are implemented.
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.
- "layout auto_left|auto_xxx" are now "layout auto xxx"
- "layout incmaster <n>" is now "layout auto master [set|inc] <n>"
- "layout incncol <n>" is now "layout auto ncol [set|inc] <n>"
- added L_AUTO_FIRST/LAST instead of using explicit layouts.
- when switching between auto layout that don't share the same major axis, invert the
width/height of their child views to preserve their relative proportions.
For workspace containers, swayc_change_layout also changes ->layout alongside
->workspace_layout when it's a sensible thing to do. There is an additional test
for 'layout toggle' command which ensures that containers will be tiled
horizontally after toggling from tabbed or stacked.
