Bugfix: Create new workspace when there are no free existing ones to assign (Thanks msi)
As the workspaces are now created dynamically, we cannot rely on
the workspaces to be there when we need them without creating them.
On the other hand, this eliminates the case that there are no workspaces
to assign to a new screen, because now we can just create one.
Implement modes. Modes allow you to use different keybindings and switch between them.
For example, you can create a mode which will let you resize windows
with some easy to use keys. So, instead of binding a combination
of your homerow and modifiers to resize, like this:
bind Mod4+44 resize right +10
bind Mod4+45 resize right -10
...
You can instead define a new mode:
mode "resize" {
bind 44 resize right +10
bind 45 resize right -10
...
bind 36 mode default
}
bindsym Mod4+r mode resize
So, if you press Mod4+r now, your keybindings will be set to the ones
defined in your resize mode above. You can then use your homerow
(without any other modifier) to resize the current column/row and
press enter to go back to the default mode when you are done.
Note that using this option requires you to enable the new lexer/parser
by passing the -l flag to i3 when starting.
Make number of workspaces dynamic (no longer limited by 10)
Warning: This is not yet thoroughly tested, so be prepared to
encounter some segfaults. Please enable logging and coredumps,
so we can fix bugs quickly.
Obey the client’s border_width setting (Thanks shatter)
xterm by default sets a border_width of 2. This was not taken into
account when determining the size of the window by i3. Still, you
probably want to set this to 0 in your .Xresources as the pixels
are just lost.
Bugfix: Fix resizing on second monitor (Thanks litemotiv)
We now use the virtual screen’s size/position instead of the X root
window for the grabwin (grabwin = the area in which the pointer may
move when resizing).
Implement stack-limit for further defining how stack windows should look
Using this command, you can limit the amount of columns or rows for
a stacking container. This allows for better usage of screen estate
when using stacking containers with many clients.
Examples:
i3-msg "stack-limit cols 2"
You will now have a stack window which has two columns of windows.
Commands are 'mark' and 'goto'. Both can be used either directly,
like 'mark a' and 'goto a', or interactively (just 'mark'). For
interactive mode, i3-input must be installed and in your PATH.
Make gcc happy about some possibly uninitialized variables (Thanks badboy)
This warning only showed up with CFLAGS=-O2.
The variables in question could never be uninitialized because
they were definitely set, have a look at the code. But anyways,
less warnings is always a good thing ;-).
Bugfix: Correctly warp pointer *after* rendering the layout
This is necessary because otherwise the window into which the
pointer is warped still is at its old position, so that the pointer
will effectively be warped onto the wrong screen in case of moving
a window to another screen.
Thanks to Mikael for bringing it to my mind. This change introduces
two new color classes, client.urgent and bar.urgent. By default,
urgent clients are drawn in red (colors by Atsutane).
Bugfix: Fix screen wrapping, cleanup some log messages
Before this fix, you could go upwards and select the screen which
was at the rightmost because it also was the one topmost (if all
screen’s top position is equal).
Implement assignments of workspaces to screens, big cleanup of workspace code
Please test this! Plug in screens, unplug them, use your video projector,
change resolutions, etc.
To use the assignments, use the following syntax:
workspace <number> [screen <screen>] [name]
Where screen can be one of:
<number> (It is not provided that these numbers stay constant, so use with care)
<x>x<y> (Coordinates where the screen starts, so 1280 will be fine to match the
screen right of the main screen if your main screen is 1280 pixels
width. However, 1281 will not match)
<x>
x<y>
Implement support for using key symbols in configuration file
Use "bindsym" instead of "bind". You have to use the names of keys
as in xmodmap. To get a list of currently bounud symbols, use
xmodmap -pke
Technical quirk: Xlib generated MappingNotify events upon
XkbMapNotify events (from XKB, as the name says). XCB does not yet
have support for XKB, thus we need to select and handle the event
by ourself. Hopefully, this will change in the future.
