`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.
If you have swaybar docked to the top, and you create a floating sticky
container and switch workspaces on the same output, the sticky container
would move down by the height of swaybar on each switch.
This happens because when creating the workspace we set the dimensions
to the same as the output, then the subsequent arrange corrects it.
During this arrange, floating containers are translated so they stay
relative to the workspace. This translation needs to not occur for the
initial arrange.
This patch makes workspaces have a zero width and height when first
created, so we can detect whether this is the initial arrange and avoid
translating the floating containers if so.
When workspace_wrap_children is called on a workspace which has a
fullscreen child and the fullscreen child is a direct child of the
workspace, sway would crash.
The workspace's fullscreen pointer is unset when the fullscreen
container is detached and applied again when added to a parent, but in
this case the parent hadn't yet been added to the workspace which meant
con->workspace was NULL.
The fix makes container_handle_fullscreen_reparent return if there's no
workspace, and the fullscreen pointer is reapplied in
workspace_wrap_children.
Fixes#2401 (aka #2558)
Previously, when switching windows, pointer focus was not changed until the pointer was moved. This makes the pointer enter happen immediately, without the side effects of other attempted fixes.
These are the same as seat_set_focus, but accept a specific type rather
than using nodes. Doing this adds more typesafety and lets us avoid
using &con->node which looks a little ugly.
This fixes a crash that pretty much nobody would ever come across. If
you have a bindsym for "focus" with no arguments and run it from an
empty workspace, sway would crash because it assumes `container` is not
NULL.
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 changes the destroy functions to the following:
* output_begin_destroy
* output_destroy
* workspace_begin_destroy
* workspace_destroy
* container_begin_destroy
* container_destroy
* view_begin_destroy
* view_destroy
The terminology was `destroy` and `free`, and it has been changed to
`begin_destroy` and `destroy` respectively.
When the last output is disconnected, its workspaces will now be stashed
in the root. Upon connection of a new output they will be restored.
There is a new function `workspace_consider_destroy` which decides
whether the given workspace should be destroyed or not (ie. empty and
not visible).
Calling container_begin_destroy will no longer automatically reap the
parents. In some places we want to reap the parents and in some we
don't, so this is left to the caller.
container_reap_empty_recursive and container_reap_empty have been
combined into one function and it will recurse up the tree.
Improves upon 18e425ed by using the first assigned workspace instead of
the last one. The order isn't explicitly guaranteed to be the same as in
the config, but in general works.
Workspaces previously had a magical `workspace->floating` container,
which had a layout of L_FLOATING and whose children were actual floating
views. This allowed some conveniences, but was a hacky solution because
the container has to be exempt from focus, coordinate transactions with
the workspace, and omit emitting IPC events (which we didn't do).
This commit changes it to be a list directly in the sway_workspace. The
L_FLOATING layout is no longer used so this has been removed as well.
* Fixes incorrect check in the swap command (it checked if the
containers had the L_FLOATING layout, but this layout applied to the
magical container).
* Introduces workspace_add_floating
This introduces the following `for_each` functions:
* root_for_each_workspace
* root_for_each_container
* output_for_each_workspace
* output_for_each_container
* workspace_for_each_container
And introduces the following `find` functions:
* root_find_output
* root_find_workspace
* root_find_container
* output_find_workspace
* output_find_container
* workspace_find_container
* container_find_child
And removes the following functions:
* container_descendants
* container_for_each_descendant
* container_find
This change is preparing the way for demoting sway_container. Eventually
these functions will accept and return sway_outputs, sway_workspaces and
sway_containers (meaning a C_CONTAINER or C_VIEW).
This change also makes it easy to handle abnormalities like the
workspace floating list, root's scratchpad list and (once implemented)
root's saved workspaces list for when there's no connected outputs.
This commit renames container_sort_workspaces to output_sort_workspaces
and moves it to output.c.
This also renames container_wrap_children to workspace_wrap_children and
moves it to workspace.c. This function is only called with workspaces.
The original purpose of this commit is to replace some for loops with
list_find. But while doing this I found the workspace_prev_next_impl
functions to be difficult to read and also contained a bug, so I
refactored them and fixed the bug.
To reproduce the bug:
* Have two outputs, where the left output has workspaces 1, 2, 3 and the
right output has workspaces 4, 5, 6. Make workspace 2 focused_inactive
and workspace 4 focused.
* Run `workspace prev`.
* Previously it would visit the left output, then apply `workspace prev`
to workspace 2, which focuses workspace 1.
* Now it will focus the rightmost workspace on the left output
(workspace 3).
The refactoring I made to the workspace functions are:
* Added the static keyword.
* They now accept an int dir rather than bool, to avoid an unnecessary
conversion.
* Rather than preparing start and end variables for the purpose of
iterating, just iterate everything.
* Replace for loops with list_find.
* Don't call workspace_output_prev_next_impl (this fixes the bug).
Rationale: Sticky containers are always assigned to the visible
workspace.
The basic idea here is to check the destination's output (move.c:190).
But if the command was `move container to workspace x` then a workspace
might have been created for it. We could destroy the workspace in this
case, but that results in unnecessary IPC events.
To avoid this, the logic for `move container to workspace x` has been
adjusted. It now delays creating the workspace until the end, and uses
`workspace_get_initial_output` to determine and check the output before
creating it.
In a multi-output setup, if a sticky container is on one output and
focus is on the other output, and you run (eg) `workspace 1` to focus
the workspace containing the sticky container, an infinite loop would
occur. It would loop infinitely because it would remove the sticky
container from the workspace, add it back to the same workspace, and
then decrement the iterator variable.
The fix just wraps the loop in a workspace comparison.
