20 * Returns a pointer to the workspace with the given number (starting at 0),
21 * creating the workspace if necessary (by allocating the necessary amount of
22 * memory and initializing the data structures correctly).
24 * If created is not NULL, *created will be set to whether or not the
25 * workspace has just been created.
28 Con *workspace_get(const char *num, bool *created);
32 * Sets the name (or just its number) for the given workspace. This has to
33 * be called for every workspace as the rendering function
34 * (render_internal_bar) relies on workspace->name and workspace->name_len
38 void workspace_set_name(Workspace *ws, const char *name);
42 * Returns true if the workspace is currently visible. Especially important for
43 * multi-monitor environments, as they can have multiple currenlty active
47 bool workspace_is_visible(Con *ws);
49 /** Switches to the given workspace */
50 void workspace_show(const char *num);
53 * Focuses the next workspace.
56 void workspace_next();
59 * Focuses the previous workspace.
62 void workspace_prev();
66 * Assigns the given workspace to the given screen by correctly updating its
67 * state and reconfiguring all the clients on this workspace.
69 * This is called when initializing a screen and when re-assigning it to a
70 * different screen which just got available (if you configured it to be on
71 * screen 1 and you just plugged in screen 1).
74 void workspace_assign_to(Workspace *ws, Output *screen, bool hide_it);
77 * Initializes the given workspace if it is not already initialized. The given
78 * screen is to be understood as a fallback, if the workspace itself either
79 * was not assigned to a particular screen or cannot be placed there because
80 * the screen is not attached at the moment.
83 void workspace_initialize(Workspace *ws, Output *screen, bool recheck);
86 * Gets the first unused workspace for the given screen, taking into account
87 * the preferred_screen setting of every workspace (workspace assignments).
90 Workspace *get_first_workspace_for_output(Output *screen);
93 * Unmaps all clients (and stack windows) of the given workspace.
95 * This needs to be called separately when temporarily rendering a workspace
96 * which is not the active workspace to force reconfiguration of all clients,
97 * like in src/xinerama.c when re-assigning a workspace to another screen.
100 void workspace_unmap_clients(xcb_connection_t *conn, Workspace *u_ws);
103 * Maps all clients (and stack windows) of the given workspace.
106 void workspace_map_clients(xcb_connection_t *conn, Workspace *ws);
110 * Goes through all clients on the given workspace and updates the workspace’s
111 * urgent flag accordingly.
114 void workspace_update_urgent_flag(Con *ws);
117 * 'Forces' workspace orientation by moving all cons into a new split-con with
118 * the same orientation as the workspace and then changing the workspace
122 void ws_force_orientation(Con *ws, orientation_t orientation);
125 * Called when a new con (with a window, not an empty or split con) should be
126 * attached to the workspace (for example when managing a new window or when
127 * moving an existing window to the workspace level).
129 * Depending on the workspace_layout setting, this function either returns the
130 * workspace itself (default layout) or creates a new stacked/tabbed con and
134 Con *workspace_attach_to(Con *ws);
