- When policies are allocated, the ipc target path goes
through symlink resolution. The result is used as
the canonical for matching pids to policies at runtime.
In particular, this matches up with the target of
the `/proc/<pid>/exe`.
- There's a possible race condition if this isn't done
correctly, read below.
Originally, validate_ipc_target() always tried to resolve
its argument for symlinks, and returned a parogram target string
if it validates. This created a possible race condition with
security implications. The problem is that get_feature_policy()
first independently resolved the policy target in order to check
whether a policy already exists. If it didn't find any, it called
alloc_feature_policy() which called validate_ipc_target() which
resolved the policy target again. In the time between the two
checks, the symlink could be altered, and a lucky attacker could
fool the program into thinking that a policy doesn't exist
for a target, and then switch the symlink to point at another file.
At the very least this could allow him to create two policies
for the same program target, and possibly to bypass security
by associating the permissions for one target with another,
or force default permissions to apply to a target for which
a more specific rule has been configured. So we don't that.
Instead, the policy target is resolved once and that result is
used for the rest of the lookup/creation process.
In i3 every mark is unique and one mark cannot be used in more than one
window, sway behavior has been amended to match this.
`swaymsg -t get_marks` will now return an array of all marks used in sway.
See #98
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
As best I can tell this todo was intended to add workspace movement to
the given output with the `workspace <ws> output <op>` command, but i3
does not behave this way.
This commit allows unquoted spaces in worspace names in order to keep
compatability with i3. The names _must not_ contain the string "output"
which is documented in 'sway.5' because how sway detects the `move
<workspace> output <output>` command. Also I documented that "number"
may be used before the worspace name without affecting how the name is
evaluated.
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.
- "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>"
- prior to this modification, the requested pixels were added/removed
to both edges of the modified container. To preserve sizes,
only half the pixels should be added/removed to each edge.
- 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.
Some users may want to switch buttons on their input devices, turns out
libinput already supports it. Let's add a support for it in our config.

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.
This implements commands such as:
workspace number 9: test
If a workspace with the given number exists then it will be focused,
otherwise a new workspace with the given name will be created.
