i3 feature set is mostly frozen as well, so we shouldn't advise people
to open feature requests there. Moreover, i3 will disregard feature
requests from sway users (because it doesn't benefit the i3 project
itself).
There is now no good way to request new WM features, and this is by
design. This aligns with [1].

This fixes a few formatting errors in SYNOPSIS, moves the command
options out of SYNOPSIS, swaps the labels on the SYNOPSIS and
DESCRIPTION sections, creates an EXAMPLES section and slightly rewords
parts of the OPTIONS, DESCRIPTION, EXAMPLES, and OUTPUT sections.
workspace_squash is container_flatten in the reverse
direction. Instead of eliminating redundant splits that are
parents of the target container, it eliminates pairs of
redundant H/V splits that are children of the workspace.
Splits are redundant if a con and its grandchild have the
same layout, and the immediate child has the opposite split.
For example, layouts are transformed like:
H[V[H[app1 app2]] app3] -> H[app1 app2 app3]
i3 uses this operation to simplify the tree after moving
heavily nested containers to a higher level in the tree via
an orthogonal move.
This changes the move command to better match i3
behavior after the layout changes.
workspace_rejigger handled the case where containers would
escape their workspace in an orthogonal move by changing
the layout to accomodate them, but this case is now handled
within the loop.
In i3, the workspace_layout command does not affect the
workspace layout. Instead, new workspace level containers
are wrapped in the desired layout and the workspace layout
always defaults to the output orientation.
Some comparisons of current Sway versus i3 behavior:
1) T[T[T[app]]] + move left
* Sway: T[app]
* i3: T[T[app]]
2) H[V[H[V[app]]]] + move left
* Sway: H[app]
* i3: H[V[app]]
After this commit, Sway behavior matches i3. The intermediate states
are now:
T[T[T[app]]] -> T[T[app T[]]] -> T[T[app]]
H[V[H[V[app]]]] -> H[V[app H[V[]]]] -> H[V[app]]
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.
Mention that the github wiki may contain outdated information scripts
and old workarounds and that sway the sway project does not provide
support for it.
Meson's generated config.h header defines false macros as 0, not
undefined. This means that the header line, which was checking for the
definition existing, not a non-zero value, was incorrect. Now the
swaybar tray can be used with systemd, elogind, or basu.
The "xorg-server-xwayland" package has become "xorg-xwayland" in Arch.
Our egl requirement was previously satisfied by xorg-server-xwayland's
dependency on libgl, which "xorg-xwayland" does not have. So add the
libegl dependency as well.
When colors aren't used, write the log importance to stderr. This makes
it easier to grep for errors and avoids mistaking error messages for
debug messages.
This is [1] ported to Sway.
[1]: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/2149
Instead of letting wlroots print messages to stdout, route debugging
messages into Sway's logging functions. This allows a more consistent
output (e.g. if Sway or wlroots changes its output style, they don't get
out-of-sync).
I also added a [wlr] prefix to wlroots messages, not yet sure it's a
good thing.
Maybe systemd/elogind is found but wlroots was built without them. Print
the warning message depending on the WLR_HAS_* defines instead.
While at it, don't print the message if wlroots has been build with
libseat.
For each following combinations of criteria & command below, the command would
crash sway without the fix.
It's particular about the __focused__ criteria, where the view matches part of
the criteria but not the focused app, leading to a failure when calling
`strcmp` with NULL.
"xterm" is a non-wayland app (X11) and "kitty" is. Both are terminals.
# "class" is specific to X11
# The view is X11 (xterm) leading to the criteria checking for the
# focused app's class, leading to a crash
for_window [class="__focused__"] floating enable
exec kitty -e xterm
# Similarly, crash as the focused app (xterm) has no app_id when the view has one
for_window [app_id="__focused__"] floating enable
exec xterm -e kitty
# If the view has a title but not the focused app: NULL title will crash criteria checking
for_window [title="__focused__"] floating enable
exec xterm -title "" -e xterm
Prevents build failures when calling the function with 'const char *'
arguments.
This is also more accurate since the function is not expected to modify
the args.
Currently, when sway sends a configure with some geometry and the
client responds with a different geometry in a commit that acks that
configure, sway ignores the new size. Sway applies the surface
geometry it had requested to the container, not what was actually
committed, in the following transaction.
This change allows any client commit to change its surface geometry,
even if it is a response to a configure event.
The keyboard group's effective keyboard layout was never being changed
due to a condition that incorrectly preventing it from being performed.
The IPC event that follows the change was correctly being prevented.
To query whether a container is sticky, checking `con->is_sticky` is
insufficient. `container_is_floating_or_child` must also return true;
this led to a lot of repetition.
This commit introduces `container_is_sticky[_or_child]` functions, and
switches all stickiness checks to use them. (Including ones where the
container is already known to be floating, for consistency.)
