The userguide still mentions an old 'goto' command which no longer
exists and will be ignored silently (when used in the i3 config) or
causes an error to be reported (when invoked from the command line).
This change updates the userguide to correct this problem. In addition
to that it also updates the i3-input command shown to no longer use the
deprecated -p flag but -F instead.
Previously, we used ev_check watchers, which are executed at the beginning of an
event loop iteration.
This was problematic if one of the handlers happened to fill the XCB event
queue, e.g. by reading a reply from X11 and an event happened in the meantime.
In that situation, we would hand control to the event loop, entirely ignoring
the pending event. This would manifest itself as a 1-minute hang,
reproducible (sometimes) in the i3 testsuite.
issue #2790 describes an instance of this issue in i3bar, and we fixed that by
changing the watcher priority to run last. Handling events in xcb_prepare_cb has
the same effect, as ev_prepare watchers are run just before the event loop goes
to sleep.
We need to set dont_map => 1 on the sync window to prevent an endless loop.
Further, t/219-ipc-window-focus.t made assumptions about windows being named
incrementally, and that assumption is broken by the sync window opened by the
first sync_with_i3 call from open_window, so use the more reliable ->name.
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW: invalidate focus to force SetInputFocus call (#3027)
The sender of the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message might know better when to
set focus than i3, as i3 does not know about unmanaged (override_redirect=1)
windows.

Add regression tests for #2846
1). Add one regression test in 167-workspace_layout.t:
- Get a fresh workspace
- Set the layout to something
- Create windows
- Try to switch to another layout
- Check if successful
- Repeat for all 12 possible transitions
2). Add another regression test in 167-workspace_layout.t:
- Check that the command 'layout toggle split' works regardless of
what layout we're using
Fix compilation warnings on all Debian architectures. (#3007)
stbuf.st_size is of type off_t, which the standard defines as “extended signed
integral type”¹, and for which there is no correct printf format string. Hence,
we need to cast it into a hopefully-large-enough type (ugh) and use the
corresponding format string. In our case, int64_t should do it, as config files
really shouldn’t be anywhere close to those numbers.

Use con_descend_focused for workspaces in _tree_next
This way, when changing focus between outputs, the directional focus
command will focus the focused window within the parent container that
is next in the given direction.
Previously, the next window of the given direction was focused which is
Inconsistent with changing focus inside the same output.
Merge "force_focus_wrapping" option into "focus_wrapping force"
Allow enabling forced focus wrapping by specifying "focus_wrapping
force" in i3's configuration. This syntax supersedes the previous
"force_focus_wrapping yes" one, which remains available for backwards
compatibility.
This fixes a crash that occurs when disabling floating for a container
while it is being moved or resized.
@Deiz describes the problem:
> It occurs because the command that disables floating runs before the
event loop. So, the window is tiled, its floating parent is destroyed,
but then a key event is handled which causes the position/size of the
now-destroyed parent to be modified.
canonicalize_output_name allowed the "primary" special output name to
be canonicalized, thus converting it to the name of whatever output
was the primary output at the time. This caused settings
(specifically, i3bar output and tray_output settings) to be stored as
specific output names, instead of the intended special names whose
referred output may change as the system's configuration (i.e. current
primary output) changes.
Add a check to canonicalize_output_name to return the name as-is if it
is the special name "primary".
fake_outputs: Allow designating a fake output as primary
Allow appending 'P' to the fake output specification to set the
created output's "primary" flag, to allow writing test cases that
depend on the presence of a primary output.
fake_outputs_init would unconditionally increase the string read
pointer variable (walk) by one character more than the number of
characters that have been read, to skip past the character delimiting
records (a comma). However, when the input string was not terminated
by a comma, it would cause the function to read past the null
terminator instead.
Avoid this by explicitly checking for the expected delimiter.
fake_outputs: Use %n format specifier instead of sprintf
fake_outputs_init used a sprintf invocation with a throw-away buffer
to estimate how many characters the sscanf invocation consumed. This
was unnecessary, and also potentially incorrect, as differences
between the read and formatted strings (such as leading zeros) could
lead to fake_outputs_init to lose its track.
Instead, use the %n format specifier which allows saving the number of
characters consumed by sscanf so far. %n is part of C99.
Fix erratic behavior with single container child jumping outputs
This fixes a regression introduced in commit 4e88c10564ca5366c2578908f62ec56625a26718: when attempting to move the
single child of a container in the direction of another output, i3
would move the window to the output, despite the window not being at
the edge of its output, instead of moving it to its parent container.
The bug occurred because the check for moving containers across
outputs with non-default workspace layouts (issue #1603) did not
actually verify that the moved window lies at the edge of the
workspace, despite what its comment said.

Allow assign to workspace by number
Makes "assign [<criteria>] workspace number <number>" work in the same
manner as "move to workspace number <number>" instead of assigning the
window to a workspace named "number <number>".
config.spec is modified to expect a 'number' string and an extra
argument is used in cfg_assign.
For workspaces that don't exist yet, workspace_get is used as a
fallback. This also allows the user to assign to "<number> <workspace>"
eg "2: work" and the full name will be used if workspace number 2
doesn't exist yet.
This way you can assign the test windows to an empty workspace to avoid
interacting with them (when xvfb-run is not an option):
assign [instance="i3test"] workspace testing
I previously tried to fix the check, but could only come up with a fix which
required removing our module pre-loading, which makes the tests considerably
more expensive. Instead, let’s just remove the check.
