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.
We were arranging a parent which may have been deleted by the reaper,
which meant the `current` children list of the surviving parent had a
dangling pointer.
Instead, we now reap the workspace.
container_destroy was calling container_reap_empty, which calls
container_destroy and so on. Eventually the original container_destroy
would return a NULL pointer to the caller which caused a crash.
This also fixes an arrange on the wrong container when moving views in
and out of stacks.
* 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.
In Sway 0.15, moving a window to another workspace would cause a window on the source workspace to be focused. This restores that behavior, allowing you to quickly move a lot of windows to another workspace.
The exact semantics of this command are complicated. I'll describe each
test scenario as s-expressions. Everything assumes L_HORIZ if not
specified, but if you rotate everything 90 degrees the same test cases
hold.
```
(container (view a) (view b focus) (view c))
-> move left
(container (view b focus) (view a) (view c))
(container (view a) (view b focus) (view c))
-> move right
(container (view a) (view c) (view b focus))
(container L_VERT (view a))
(container L_HORIZ
(view b) (view c focus))
-> move up
(container L_VERT
(view a) (view c focus))
(container L_HORIZ (view b))
(workspace
(view a) (view b focus) (view c))
-> move up
(workspace [split direction flipped]
(view b focus)
(container (view a) (view c)))
(workspace
(view a) (view b focus) (view c))
-> move down
(workspace [split direction flipped]
(container (view a) (view c))
(view b focus)))
Note: outputs use wlr_output_layout instead of assuming that i+/-1 is
the next output in the move direction.
(root
(output X11-1
(workspace 1))
(output X11-2
(workspace 1 (view a focus) (view b)))))
-> move left
(root
(output X11-1
(workspace 1 (view a focus)))
(output X11-2
(workspace 1 (view b)))))
(root
(output X11-1
(workspace 1
(container (view a) (view b)))
(output X11-2
(workspace 1 (view c focus)))))
-> move left
(root
(output X11-1
(workspace 1
(container (view a) (view b))
(view c focus)))
(output X11-2
(workspace 1)))
```
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
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 lets the 'move' command apply to floating containers as well
as tiled ones. The command may be appended with a number of pixels and
then optionally the string `px` (like '10 px') in order to move the
container more or fewer than the standard ten pixels.
Add swayc_change_layout function, which changes either layout or
workspace_layout, depending on the container type. Workspace being
always L_HORIZ makes this much more i3-compatible.
