Support a special value "__focused__" as a command criterion pattern for class, instance, title, window_role and workspace.
This special value will match if the window's property equals that of the currently focused window.
Bugfix: sort bindings, re-ordering once is not enough.
Reordering once (as we did it before this commit) would only sort the
bindings by the _first_ bit of their event_state_mask, but we need to
sort them by _all_ bits of their event_state_mask.
Use libxkbcommon for translating keysyms, support all XKB groups.
fixes #1835
This commit improves the translation of keysyms to keycodes by loading
keymaps using libxkbcommon-x11 and using libxkbcommon for figuring out
the keymap, depending on each keybinding’s modifiers. This way, the
upper layers of complex layouts are now usable with i3’s bindsym
directive, such as de_neo’s layer 3 and higher.
Furthermore, the commit generalizes the handling of different XKB
groups. We formerly had support only for two separate groups, the
default group 1, and group 2. While Mode_switch is only one way to
switch to group 2, we called the binding option Mode_switch. With this
commit, the new names Group1, Group2 (an alias for Mode_switch), Group3
and Group4 are introduced for configuring bindings. This is only useful
for advanced keyboard layouts, such as people loading two keyboard
layouts and switching between them (us, ru seems to be a popular
combination).
When grabbing keys, one can only specify the modifier mask, but not an
XKB state mask (or value), so we still dynamically unbind and re-bind
keys whenever the XKB group changes.
The commit was manually tested using the following i3 config:
bindsym Group4+n nop heya from group 4
bindsym Group3+n nop heya from group 3
bindsym Group2+n nop heya from group 2
bindsym n nop heya
bindsym shift+N nop explicit shift binding
bindsym shift+r nop implicit shift binding
bindcode Group2+38 nop fallback overwritten in group 2 only
bindcode 38 nop fallback
By default (xkb group 1, us layout), pressing “n” will result in the
“heya” message appearing. Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback”
message appearing. “j” is not triggered.
By pressing Shift+CapsLock you switch to the next group (xkb group 2, ua
layout). Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback overwritten in group
2 only” message, pressing “n” will still result in “heya”. “j” is not
triggered.
In the next group (xkb group 3, ru layout), pressing “a” will result in
the “fallback” message again, pressing “n” will result in “heya”,
“j” is not triggered.
In the last group (xkb group 4, de_neo layout), pressing “a” will still
result in “fallback”, pressing “n” will result in “heya”, pressing “j”
will result in “heya from group 4”.
Pressing shift+n results in “explicit shift binding”, pressing shift+r
results in “implicit shift binding”. This ensures that keysym
translation falls back to looking at non-shift keys (“r” can be used
instead of ”R”) and that the order of keybindings doesn’t play a role
(“bindsym n” does not override “bindsym shift+n”, even though it’s
specified earlier in the config).
The fallback behavior ensures use-cases such as ticket #1775 are still
covered.
Only binding keys when the X server is in the corresponding XKB group
ensures use-cases such as ticket #585 are still covered.
It turns out that several users have workflows in which they turn off
their monitors without using e.g. `xrandr --output DP-1 --off`. The
result is that the monitors are disconnected, but not disabled.
With commit e71c304444dd3070877887d2bb5407cd64033946, i3 started to see
these two states as one and the same state, but that causes more harm
than it does good. For example, for some users with only one monitor, i3
would just exit when these users turned off their monitor.
With commit c738b2e454bb8b096dd99d44e9e51030f8355b90 we changed i3 so
that the default keybindings can be used when ISO_Next_Group is enabled,
but bindings which explicitly use Mode_switch have precedence. This
behavior required the use of bindcode instead of bindsym.
With this commit, when switching from group 1 to group 2 using
ISO_Next_Group, i3 will re-translate all keybindings (looking at column
2/3, regardless of whether the keybinding itself specifies Mode_switch)
and re-grab them.
That way, the keybinding “bindsym $mod+x nop foo” will work when
pressing $mod+x without Mode_switch and when pressing the corresponding
$mod+x (different key) with Mode_switch. A binding such as “bindsym
Mode_switch+$mod+x nop bar” will still have precedence.
The intention here is to make bindsym keybindings work well with dual
keyboard layouts (such as {dvorak, us} or {us, ru}), so that users can
switch between groups and still have their (logical) keybindings behave
the same way.

mkdirp: do not throw an error if directory exists
If I restart i3 4.10.2 twice, e.g. with
$ i3-msg restart; sleep 3; i3-msg restart
the second time I get the following two errors:
05/22/15 10:46:03 - ERROR: mkdir(/tmp/i3-theo.toAK7N) failed: File exists
05/22/15 10:46:03 - ERROR: Could not create "/tmp/i3-theo.toAK7N" for storing the restart layout, layout will be lost.
The first one is from mkdirp() in src/ipc.c and the second one is from
store_restart_layout() in src/util.c.
Notice that I do _not_ get the ``open()'' or ``Could not write restart layout to
...'' error messages, so the layout writing code after line 260 in
store_restart_layout() succeeded and the layout isn't actually lost. Thus,
these error messages are a bit misleading, especially the second one (which is
triggered by the failure of mkdirp()).
POSIX says about `mkdir -p':
``Each dir operand that names an existing directory shall be ignored without
error.''
Therefore, I suggest the following simple patch that makes mkdirp() succeed if
the named file exists and actually is a directory. This silences the second
error as well.

Initialize workspace rect to the output's upon creation
The comment immediately following implied that this was the intended
behaviour. Not doing so means that compound commands that both move a
window to a new workspace as well as do something that depends on the
workspace's geometry (e.g. 'move position center' or 'floating enable'
on a tiled window) would use the workspace's calloc'd 0x0+0x0 geometry.

Ignore InputHint when not in WM_HINTS
When InputHint is not in WM_HINTS (i.e., the flag is not set), treat the window
as if the InputHint was set (the default behavior). This means that i3 will
focus the window when it becomes managed.

%p is equivalent to either %x or %lx, depending on the pointer size of the

* mkdirp: return int and accept a mode argument
* use i3's mkdirp on everything except Illumos
1. Allow to use the line continuation, which is indicated by \ before the new line character, in config files.
2. Add a new testcase "247-config-line-continuation.t" for
a). testing line continuation
b). making sure string escaping still works
c). testing line continuations within a string
b). testing line continuations with too many lines
Remove asserts and return non-match instead if the container or its workspace cannot be found.
This can cause an issue if used in combination with for_window and i3bar during startup of i3 otherwise.

Fix TODO by replacing atoi by strtol
Fix TODO in bindings.c.
There is no problem to use atoi here since either keycode 0 or button0 is invalid.
But strtol is more flexible and is recommanded for conversion.
