* Make a workspace which only contains floating views
* Switch to another workspace and create a tiled view
* Move the tiled view to the workspace with
`move container to workspace N`
The container would be added as a sibling to the floating view, which
makes the container floating while having the geometry of a tiled
container.
This changes it so it only looks for tiled containers in the workspace
with a fallback to the workspace itself.
Previously we would compare the last focus's workspace with the new
focus's workspace to determine if we need to emit an IPC
workspace::focus event. This doesn't work when moving the focused
container to a new workspace.
This adds a workspace property to the seat which stores the last emitted
workspace::focus workspace. Using this method, after moving the
container, refocusing it will trigger exactly one workspace::focus
event: from the old workspace to the new workspace.
This introduces seat_set_raw_focus: a function that manipulates the
focus stack without doing any other behaviour whatsoever. There are a
few places where this is useful, such as where we set focus_inactive
followed by another call to set the real focus again. With this change,
the notify argument to seat_set_focus_warp is also removed as these
cases now use the raw function instead.
A bonus of this is we are no longer emitting window::focus IPC events
when setting focus_inactive, nor are we sending focus/unfocus events to
the surface.
This also fixes the following:
* When running `move workspace to output <name>` and moving the last
workspace from the source output, the workspace::focus IPC event is no
longer emitted for the newly created workspace.
* When splitting the currently focused container, unfocus/focus events
will not be sent to the surface when giving focus_inactive to the newly
created parent, and window::focus events will not be emitted.
This fixes the following. Create these layouts and run move right:
(Initial layout -> expected result -> actual result)
* `H[S[unfocused focused] unfocused]` ->
`H[S[unfocused] focused unfocused]` ->
`H[H[S[unfocused] focused] unfocused]`
* `H[S[unfocused focused] V[unfocused]]` ->
`H[S[unfocused] V[unfocused focused]]` ->
`H[H[S[unfocused] focused] V[unfocused]]`
move_out_of_tabs_stacks was originally made to allow views to move out
of the tabbed/stacked container in the parallel direction, but at some
point this has started working using the regular logic.
The assertion can be (rightfully) triggered by creating layout
V[H[view view] view] and moving the top right view to the right.
After removing the assertion I found the container being moved needs its
size reset to prevent it from being sized wrongly after arranging.
These are the same as seat_set_focus, but accept a specific type rather
than using nodes. Doing this adds more typesafety and lets us avoid
using &con->node which looks a little ugly.
This fixes a crash that pretty much nobody would ever come across. If
you have a bindsym for "focus" with no arguments and run it from an
empty workspace, sway would crash because it assumes `container` is not
NULL.
It was incorrectly determining that the container being moved and the
destination had the same parent, which resulted in tree corruption. Both
parents can be NULL but the containers may belong to different
workspaces.
To reproduce, create layout H[V[view] view] in one workspace then move a
view left or right from another output into that workspace.
This commit changes the meaning of sway_container so that it only refers
to layout containers and view containers. Workspaces, outputs and the
root are no longer known as containers. Instead, root, outputs,
workspaces and containers are all a type of node, and containers come in
two types: layout containers and view containers.
In addition to the above, this implements type safe variables. This
means we use specific types such as sway_output and sway_workspace
instead of generic containers or nodes. However, it's worth noting that
in a few places places (eg. seat focus and transactions) referring to
them in a generic way is unavoidable which is why we still use nodes in
some places.
If you want a TL;DR, look at node.h, as well as the struct definitions
for root, output, workspace and container. Note that sway_output now
contains a workspaces list, and workspaces now contain a tiling and
floating list, and containers now contain a pointer back to the
workspace.
There are now functions for seat_get_focused_workspace and
seat_get_focused_container. The latter will return NULL if a workspace
itself is focused. Most other seat functions like seat_get_focus and
seat_set_focus now accept and return nodes.
In the config->handler_context struct, current_container has been
replaced with three pointers: node, container and workspace. node is the
same as what current_container was, while workspace is the workspace
that the node resides on and container is the actual container, which
may be NULL if a workspace itself is focused.
The global root_container variable has been replaced with one simply
called root, which is a pointer to the sway_root instance.
The way outputs are created, enabled, disabled and destroyed has
changed. Previously we'd wrap the sway_output in a container when it is
enabled, but as we don't have containers any more it needs a different
approach. The output_create and output_destroy functions previously
created/destroyed the container, but now they create/destroy the
sway_output. There is a new function output_disable to disable an output
without destroying it.
Containers have a new view property. If this is populated then the
container is a view container, otherwise it's a layout container. Like
before, this property is immutable for the life of the container.
Containers have both a `sway_container *parent` and
`sway_workspace *workspace`. As we use specific types now, parent cannot
point to a workspace so it'll be NULL for containers which are direct
children of the workspace. The workspace property is set for all
containers, except those which are hidden in the scratchpad as they have
no workspace.
In some cases we need to refer to workspaces in a container-like way.
For example, workspaces have layout and children, but when using
specific types this makes it difficult. Likewise, it's difficult for a
container to get its parent's layout when the parent could be another
container or a workspace. To make it easier, some helper functions have
been created: container_parent_layout and container_get_siblings.
container_remove_child has been renamed to container_detach and
container_replace_child has been renamed to container_replace.
`container_handle_fullscreen_reparent(con, old_parent)` has had the
old_parent removed. We now unfullscreen the workspace when detaching the
container, so this function is simplified and only needs one argument
now.
container_notify_subtree_changed has been renamed to
container_update_representation. This is more descriptive of its
purpose. I also wanted to be able to call it with whatever container was
changed rather than the container's parent, which makes bubbling up to
the workspace easier.
There are now state structs per node thing. ie. sway_output_state,
sway_workspace_state and sway_container_state.
The focus, move and layout commands have been completely refactored to
work with the specific types. I considered making these a separate PR,
but I'd be backporting my changes only to replace them again, and it's
easier just to test everything at once.
When moving a container to an inactive workspace on a different output, this will change the focus on the destination output back to its last active workspace
When we have type safety we'll need to have functions for
workspace_add_tiling and so on. This means the existing container
functions will be just for containers, so they are being moved to
container.c. At this point layout.c doesn't contain much else, so I've
relocated everything and removed the file.
* container_swap and its static functions have been moved to the swap
command and made static.
* container_recursive_resize has been moved to the resize command and
made static.
* The following have been moved to container.c:
* container_handle_fullscreen_reparent
* container_insert_child
* container_add_sibling
* container_add_child
* container_remove_child
* container_replace_child
* container_split
* enum movement_direction and sway_dir_to_wlr have been moved to util.c.
Side note: Several commands included layout.h which then included
root.h. With layout.h gone, root.h has to be included by those commands.
* container_move is only called from the move command
* container_move_to was called from both the move command and the sticky
command, but the sticky command can easily not call it
* container_get_in_direction is only called from the focus command
Moving these functions to their respective commands gives better
separation of code and removes bloat from layout.c. These functions will
need to be refactored to take advantage of type safety, so separating
them will make this easier to refactor.
The following static functions have also been moved:
* is_parellel
* invert_movement
* move_offs
* container_limit
* workspace_rejigger
* move_out_of_tabs_stacks
* get_swayc_in_output_direction
They were all used by the move functions, except for the last one which
is used by focus.
Other changes:
* index_child has been renamed to container_sibling_index, moved to
container.c and made public
* sway_output_from_wlr has been renamed to output_from_wlr_output, moved
to output.c and made public
* container_handle_fullscreen_reparent has been made public
* sway_dir_to_wlr has been made public
No changes have been made to any of the moved functions, other than
updating calls to functions that have been renamed.
This changes the destroy functions to the following:
* output_begin_destroy
* output_destroy
* workspace_begin_destroy
* workspace_destroy
* container_begin_destroy
* container_destroy
* view_begin_destroy
* view_destroy
The terminology was `destroy` and `free`, and it has been changed to
`begin_destroy` and `destroy` respectively.
When the last output is disconnected, its workspaces will now be stashed
in the root. Upon connection of a new output they will be restored.
There is a new function `workspace_consider_destroy` which decides
whether the given workspace should be destroyed or not (ie. empty and
not visible).
Calling container_begin_destroy will no longer automatically reap the
parents. In some places we want to reap the parents and in some we
don't, so this is left to the caller.
container_reap_empty_recursive and container_reap_empty have been
combined into one function and it will recurse up the tree.
Previously we used a reparent event to detect when a view changes
parent, then sent an output enter/leave to the surfaces if needed. This
worked for tiling views but not floating views, as floating views can
intersect another output without changing parent.
The solution implemented for floating views also applies cleanly to
tiling views, so the previous method has been completely replaced and
the reparent event has been removed.
This introduces a new function container_discover_outputs. This function
compares the container's `current` position to the outputs, sends enter
and leave events as needed, and keeps track of which outputs it's
intersecting in a new `container->outputs` list. If it has entered a new
output with a different scale then the title and marks textures will
also be recreated at the new scale.
The function is called when a transaction applies. This is convenient as
it means we don't have to call it from various places.
There is imperfect rendering when a floating view overlaps two outputs
with different scales. It renders correctly for the most recently
entered output, but there is only one title texture so it renders
incorrectly on the old output.
Fixes#2482
Workspaces previously had a magical `workspace->floating` container,
which had a layout of L_FLOATING and whose children were actual floating
views. This allowed some conveniences, but was a hacky solution because
the container has to be exempt from focus, coordinate transactions with
the workspace, and omit emitting IPC events (which we didn't do).
This commit changes it to be a list directly in the sway_workspace. The
L_FLOATING layout is no longer used so this has been removed as well.
* Fixes incorrect check in the swap command (it checked if the
containers had the L_FLOATING layout, but this layout applied to the
magical container).
* Introduces workspace_add_floating
This commit renames container_sort_workspaces to output_sort_workspaces
and moves it to output.c.
This also renames container_wrap_children to workspace_wrap_children and
moves it to workspace.c. This function is only called with workspaces.
Rationale: Sticky containers are always assigned to the visible
workspace.
The basic idea here is to check the destination's output (move.c:190).
But if the command was `move container to workspace x` then a workspace
might have been created for it. We could destroy the workspace in this
case, but that results in unnecessary IPC events.
To avoid this, the logic for `move container to workspace x` has been
adjusted. It now delays creating the workspace until the end, and uses
`workspace_get_initial_output` to determine and check the output before
creating it.
The back_and_forth condition is intended to be handled in the else-if
block, but this was never reached because it remained in the first
block's conditions.
container_move_to handled moving containers to new parents, as well as
moving workspaces to new outputs.
This commit removes the workspace-moving code from this function and
introduces workspace_move_to_output. Moving workspaces using
container_move_to only happened from the move command, so it's been
implemented as a static function in that file.
Simplifying container_move_to makes it easier for me to fix some issues
in #2420.
This creates a root.c and moves bits and pieces from elsewhere into it.
* layout_init has been renamed to root_create and moved into root.c
* root_destroy has been created and is called on shutdown
* scratchpad code has been moved into root.c, because hidden scratchpad
containers are stored in the root struct
When a container is moved from, say, workspace 1 to workspace 2, workspace 2 is focused in order to arrange the windows before focus is moved back to workspace 1, which caused a workspace:focus event from workspace 2 to workspace 1 to be emitted. This commit inhibits that event.
Things worth noting:
* When a fullscreen view unmaps, the check to unset fullscreen on the
workspace has been moved out of view_unmap and into container_destroy,
because containers can be fullscreen too
* The calls to `container_reap_empty_recursive(workspace)` have been
removed from `container_set_floating`. That function reaps upwards so it
wouldn't do anything. I'm probably the one who originally added it...
* My fix (b14bd1b0b1) for the tabbed child
crash has a side effect where when you close a floating container, focus
is not given to the tiled container again. I've removed my fix and
removed the call to `send_cursor_motion` from `seat_set_focus_warp`. We
should consider calling it from somewhere earlier in the call stack.
Implements the following commands:
* move scratchpad
* scratchpad show
* [criteria] scratchpad show
Also fixes these:
* Fix memory leak when executing command with criteria
(use `list_free(views)` instead of `free(views)`)
* Fix crash when running `move to` with no further arguments
This PR changes the way we handle transactions to a more simple method.
The new method is to mark containers as dirty from low level code
(eg. arranging, or container_destroy, and eventually seat_set_focus),
then call transaction_commit_dirty which picks up those containers and
runs them through a transaction. The old methods of using transactions
(arrange_and_commit, or creating one manually) are now no longer
possible.
The highest-level code (execute_command and view implementation
handlers) will call transaction_commit_dirty, so most other code just
needs to set containers as dirty. This is done by arranging, but can
also be done by calling container_set_dirty.
