{ "success": true }
+[{ "success": true }]
The reply consists of a single serialized map. At the moment, the only -property is success (bool), but this will be expanded in future versions.
The reply consists of a list of serialized maps for each command that was +parsed. Each has the property success (bool) and may also include a +human-readable error message in the property error (string).
Example:
{ "success": true }
+[{ "success": true }]
- The current workspace which is visible on this output. null if the - output is not active. + The name of the current workspace that is visible on this output. null if + the output is not active.
+ Type of this container. Can be one of "root", "output", "con", + "floating_con", "workspace" or "dockarea". +
+The reply consists of a single array of strings for each container that has a -mark. The order of that array is undefined. If more than one container has the -same mark, it will be represented multiple times in the reply (the array -contents are not unique).
If no window has a mark the response will be the empty array [].
+ Display the mode indicator or not? Defaults to true. +
++ Text color to be used for the separator. +
++ Sent when a client’s window is successfully reparented (that is when i3 + has finished fitting it into a container), when a window received input + focus or when certain properties of the window have changed. +
++ Sent when the hidden_state or mode field in the barconfig of any bar + instance was updated and when the config is reloaded. +
+Example:
This event consists of a single serialized map containing a property change (string) which indicates the type of the change ("focus", "init", "empty", "urgent").
Moreover, when the change is "focus", an old (object) and a current +(object) properties will be present with the previous and current +workspace respectively. When the first switch occurs (when i3 focuses +the workspace visible at the beginning) there is no previous +workspace, and the old property will be set to null. Also note +that if the previous is empty it will get destroyed when switching, +but will still be present in the "old" property.
Example:
{ "change": "focus" }
+{
+ "change": "focus",
+ "current": {
+ "id": 28489712,
+ "type": "workspace",
+ ...
+ }
+ "old": {
+ "id": 28489715,
+ "type": "workspace",
+ ...
+ }
+}
{ "change": "default" }
+This event consists of a single serialized map containing a property +change (string) which indicates the type of the change
+new - the window has become managed by i3 +
++focus - the window has received input focus +
++title - the window’s title has changed +
++fullscreen_mode - the window has entered or exited fullscreen mode +
+Additionally a container (object) field will be present, which consists +of the window’s parent container. Be aware that for the "new" event, the +container will hold the initial name of the newly reparented window (e.g. +if you run urxvt with a shell that changes the title, you will still at +this point get the window title as "urxvt").
Example:
{
+ "change": "new",
+ "container": {
+ "id": 35569536,
+ "type": "con",
+ ...
+ }
+}
+This event consists of a single serialized map reporting on options from the +barconfig of the specified bar_id that were updated in i3. This event is the +same as a GET_BAR_CONFIG reply for the bar with the given id.
i3 includes a headerfile i3/ipc.h which provides you all constants. - However, there is no library yet. -
