Suppress no_focus for first window on a workspace.
With this patch, the no_focus directive will be ignored if the
to-be-opened window is the first on its workspace as there's no
reason the user would not want to focus it in this case.
This improves usability when, for example, using a tabbed
workspace_layout.
Break list of all commands into one line per command. This reduces the chances of merge conflicts when
introducing or removing commands and therefore increases maintainability (albeit by only a little).
When appending a layout containing a marked container, make sure that any other containers with the same mark
are unmarked during insertion of the new container.

log: avoid buffer overflow in vlog
`vlog()` can not handle log messages longer than 4096 bytes. However, the
message generated in `store_restart_layout()` is likely to exceed this
as it contains a long JSON string.
This has caused a few SEGFAULTS during restarts for me when running with
`-d all`.
Fix this by truncating the message to 4096 bytes and punching in a newline at
the end.

Don't create empty workspaces on restart
This fixes a bug I introduced in #1921. When restarting i3 in place a
stray workspace was created on the root_output during restart. On first
start, this workspace would have been moved to the first real and empty
output.
However, this does not produce the desired result during restarts when
workspaces are alread present on all real outputs. The stray workspace would
still be added to the first real output which already contains some
workspaces. Thus, adding a new empty workspace to it.
Fix this by delaying creation of the root output's workspace until it is
known whether the output is active or not.
If no output is available, use the root screen geometry to determine the maximum size when checking the size of floating windows.
This is necessary during a restart of i3 when restoring floating windows. In this situation, we restore the layout before setting up the RandR outputs which would set the window's size to 0, making it invisible.
1. Reference: issue #1929
2. When restarting, add the argument "-d all" if debuglog is on.
3. Add add_argument() for adding/replacing the given argument.

randr: use root window in case of no randr outputs
This patch introduces a root output covering the root window. It is used
in two cases:
1. RandR is not available. In this case, the previous behaviour of
creating a single output covering the root window is preserved.
2. RandR is available, but there is no active output. In this case,
the root output is enabled and will be the only active output.
If any RandR output becomes available, the root output will be
disabled again. Existing mechanisms for migrating workspaces will
just work without modification.
I've carefully slipped in a global variable `Output root_output` representing
that output.
Set and unset individual atoms in _NET_WM_STATE instead of overwriting the entire list everytime. This allows independent management of multiple states.
Use the focused container to determine the target window_mode when using floating mode_toggle.
This fixes mode_toggle in case the workspace is focused and only a floating sticky window is open.

Make sure sticky windows pop to the front if they get sticky while not being on a visible workspace.
This commit also reworks the way focusing sticky windows is prevented by not focusing them temporarily at all, but preventing the focus in the first place.
Ingo Bürk [Sun, 23 Aug 2015 11:36:12 +0000 (13:36 +0200)]
Handle _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY, but only for floating containers. If this atom is set, the floating window will always be automatically moved to the currently active workspace of the output that it is on. This is the equivalent of a sticky note stuck to the monitor.
We will respect this atom upon managing a window as well as when we receive a request that changes the sticky state.
Use the EWMH support window rather than the root window as an input focus fallback.
If no other window is available on the active workspace, we now select the EWMH support window (used to indicate that an EWMH-compliant window manager is preent) as the focus window rather than the root window. The NET_WM_ACTIVE window will still be set to XCB_WINDOW_NONE to pretend that no window is actually focused.
This fixes the issue that when using the root window, a fallback mechanism in X11 takes effect which routes keyboard input to the window under the cursor, independent of whether that window has the input focus. Using the EWMH window instead, we can avoid this behavior. We cannot simply set it to XCB_WINDOW_NONE as this would discard all keyboard events, breaking keybindings.
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.

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.
