Adding support for the keyboard shortcuts inhibit protocol allows remote
desktop and virtualisation software to receive all keyboard input in
order to pass it through to their clients so users can fully interact
the their remote/virtual session. The software usually provides its own
key combination to release its "grab" to all keyboard input. The
inhibitor can be deactivated by the user by removing focus from the
surface using another input device such as the pointer.
Use support for the procotol in wlroots to add support to sway. Extend
the input manager with handlers for inhibitor creation and destruction
and appropriate bookkeeping. Attach the inhibitors to the seats they
apply to to avoid having to search the list of all currently existing
inhibitors on every keystroke and passing the inhibitor manager around.
Add a helper function to retrieve the inhibitor applying to the
currently focused surface of a seat, if one exists.
Extend bindsym with a flag for bindings that should be processed even if
an inhibitor is active. Conversely this disables all normal shortcuts if
an inhibitor is found for the currently focused surface in
keyboard::handle_key_event() since they don't have that flag set. Use
above helper function to determine if an inhibitor exists for the
surface that would eventually receive input.

This correct the description of the commmand:
workspace [--no-auto-back-and-forth] [number] <[num:]name>
Previously, the number and num pieces were being confused. This also
documents the behavior of the --no-auto-back-and-forth flag.
This can be used as a workaround to flag terminal windows as urgent when
commands are completed, until urgency is introduced in the Wayland
protocol.
Configure your shell to run `swaymsg "[pid=$PPID] urgent enable"` when
commands are completed, and use a terminal which uses one process per
window.
For i3 compatibility, allow the indicator and child_border colors values
to be optional. The indicator will fallback to sane defaults and
child_border will fallback to the background color for the class.
This adds complete support for the barconfig_update ipc event. This also
changes the bar command and subcommand handlers to correctly emit the
event. This makes it so all bar subcommands other than id and
swaybar_command are dynamically changeable at runtime. sway-bar.5 has
been updated accordingly
It looks like floating_scroll was still in the sway(5) man page as a
remnant of the 0.x era. This just removes it from the man page since it
is no longer a valid command. Mouse bindings with Button4-7 can be used
instead
This just adds a force option to cmd_xwayland that allows for xwayland
to be immediately launched instead of lazily launched. This is useful
for slower machines so it can be part of the startup time instead of
when the user is actively trying to use it
This just specifies that both cmd_font and bar_cmd_font should be
specified using the pango font description and adds a link to the pango
documentation regarding the font description
This enhances the opacity command to support relative assignment as well
as the currently implemented absolute assignment. The syntax is copied
from the same format that gaps uses for relative and absolute setting.
An example usage in a sway config looks like:
// relative change (this feature)
bindsym button4 opacity plus .1
bindsym button5 opacity minus .1
// absolute change (this feature)
bindsym button4 opacity set 1
bindsym button5 opacity set .3
// old way, still supported
bindsym button4 opacity 1
bindsym button5 opacity .3
This adds support for specifying a binding for a specific group. Any
binding without a group listed will be available in all groups. The
priority for matching bindings is as follows: input device, group, and
locked state.
For full compatibility with i3, this also adds Mode_switch as an alias
for Group2. Since i3 only supports this for backwards compatibility
with older versions of i3, it is implemented here, but not documented.
This adds a --reload flag to cmd_bindswitch that allows for the binding
to be executed on reload. One possible use case for this is to allow
users to disable outputs when the lid closes and enable them when the
lid opens without having to open and re-close the lid after a reload.
This matches i3's behavior of only retaining criteria across comma
separated commands. When separating commands with a semicolon, the
criteria is reset and allows for new criteria to be set, if desired.
This changes the behavior of bindings to make the `BINDING_LOCKED` flag
conflicting, which will allow for both unlocked and locked bindings.
If there are two matching bindings and one has `--locked` and the other
does not, the one with `--locked` will be preferred when locked and
the one without will be preferred when unlocked.
If there are two matching bindings and one has both a matching
`--input-device=<input>` and `--locked` and the other has neither, the
former will be preferred for both unlocked and locked.
This also refactors `get_active_binding` in `sway/input/keyboard.c`
to make it easier to read.
This clarifies that `workspace <name> output <outputs...>` and
`workspace <name> gaps ...` do not operate on existing workspaces.
Additionally, alternate commands/solutions that operate on existing
workspaces are listed.
This adds support for the following commands for i3 compatibility:
- `move [window|container] [to] output current`
- `move workspace to [output] current`
- `move workspace [to] output current`
The above commands are only useful when used with criteria.
This modifies cmd_move to allow for the syntax options allowed by i3.
The following syntaxes are supported:
- `move left|right|up|down [<amount> [px]]`
- `move [--no-auto-back-and-forth] [window|container] [to] workspace
<name>|next|prev|next_on_output|prev_on_output|current|number <num>`
- `move [window|container] [to] output <name/id>|left|right|up|down`
- `move [window|container] [to] mark <mark>`
- `move workspace to [output] <name/id>|left|right|up|down`
- `move [window|container] [to] [absolute] position <x> [px] <y> [px]`
- `move [window|container] [to] [absolute] position center`
- `move [window|container] [to] position mouse|cursor|pointer`
This also allows retains the following syntax option that is not
supported by i3, but is supported in sway 1.0:
- `move workspace [to] output <name/id>|left|right|up|down`
The changes are:
- `window` and `container` are now optional
- `output` is now optional for `move workspace` when `to` is given
There is also stricter command checking now. If `absolute` or
`--no-auto-back-and-forth` are given for commands that do not support
them, it will be treated as invalid syntax instead of being silently
ignored.
This implements the following command to set/unset a user idle
inhibitor for a view:
`inhibit_idle focus|fullscreen|open|none|visible`
The modes are as follows:
- focus: inhibited when the view is focused by any seat
- fullscreen: inhibited when the view is fullscreen (or a descendant of
a fullscreen container) and is visible on any output
- open: inhibited until the view is closed or the inhibitor is unset or
changed
- none: unsets any user set idle inhibitors for the view
- visible: inhibited when the view is visible on any output
This should have no effect on idle inhibitors set by the applications
themselves and those should still work as intended.
Since this operates on the view in the handler context, it is possible
to set it on the currently focused view, on any existing view with
criteria, or for any future view with for_window.
This commit adds support for laptop lid and tablet
mode switches as provided by evdev/libinput and
handled by wlroots.
Adds a new bindswitch command with syntax:
bindswitch <switch>:<state> <command>
Where <switch> is one of:
tablet for WLR_SWITCH_TYPE_TABLET_MODE
lid for WLR_SWITCH_TYPE_LID
<state> is one of:
on for WLR_SWITCH_STATE_ON
off for WLR_SWITCH_STATE_OFF
toggle for WLR_SWITCH_STATE_TOGGLE
(Note that WLR_SWITCH_STATE_TOGGLE doesn't map to
libinput and will trigger at both on and off events)
This changes the way zero (which is the default) is interpreted for both
the width and height of `floating_maximum_size`. It now refers to the
width and height of the entire output layout, which matches i3's
behavior.
This also removes duplicated code to calculate the floating constraints
in three files. Before this, `container_init_floating` used two-thirds
of the workspace width/height as the max and the entire workspace
width/height was used everywhere else. Now, all callers use a single
function `floating_calculate_constraints`.
This add `sway-ipc.7.scd` that documents the IPC protocol.
This also increased the minimum scdoc version from 1.8.1 to 1.9.0 to
allow for table cells to be continued on the following line
Enables i3-compatible behavior regarding hiding the title bar on tabbed and
stacked containers with one child.
Related issues and merge requests: #3031, #3002, #2912, #2987.
This changes the `pointer_constraint` command to be a subcommand of seat
to allow for per-seat settings. The current implementation that is not a
seat subcommand will only operate on the current seat and will segfault
in the config due to `config->handler_context.seat` only being set at
runtime.
This also allows for the wildcard identifier to be used to alter the
pointer constraint settings on all seats and allows for the setting to
be merged with the rest of the seat config.
Updates sway.5 to include information on the usage of the `--whole-window` option in the context of the `bindsym` command, which modifies mouse bindings to allow them to operate over the whole window instead of just the titlebar. Also includes the disclaimer about mouse bindings only working over the title bar.
Also fixes the escaping of the `BTN_LEFT` and `BTN_RIGHT` key mention.
Add notes on --border and --exclude-titlebar
Update the flags for bindcode command.
This modifies `seat_cmd_cursor` to utilize `get_mouse_button` when
parsing mouse buttons for the `press` and `release` operations. All x11
buttons, button event names, and button event codes are supported.
For x11 axis buttons, `dispatch_cursor_axis` is used instead of
`dispatch_cursor_button`. However the `press`/`release` state is ignored
and the either axis event is processed. This also removes support for
`left` and `right` in favor of `BTN_LEFT` and `BTN_RIGHT`.
This modifies `bindcode` and `bindsym` to use `get_mouse_bindcode` and
`get_mouse_bindsym`, respectively, to parse mouse buttons. Additionally,
the `BINDING_MOUSE` type has been split into `BINDING_MOUSECODE` and
`BINDING_MOUSESYM` to match keys and allow for mouse bindcodes to be
used. Between the two commands, all button syms and codes should be
supported, including x11 axis buttons.
Implements `tiling_drag_threshold <threshold>` to prevent accidental
dragging of tiling containers. If a container (and all of its
descendants) are unfocused and the tile bar is pressed, a threshold
will be used before actually starting the drag. Once the threshold has
been exceeded, the cursor will change to the grab icon and the operation
will switch from `OP_MOVE_TILING_THRESHOLD` to `OP_MOVE_TILING`.
This modifies the way mouse bindings are parsed. Instead of adding to
BTN_LEFT, which results in button numbers that may not be expected,
buttons will be parsed in one of the following ways:
1. `button[1-9]` will now map to their x11 equivalents. This is already
the case for bar bindings. This adds support for binding to axis events,
which was not possible in the previous approach.
2. Anything that starts with `BTN_` will be parsed as an event code name
using `libevdev_event_code_from_name`. This allows for any button to be
mapped to instead of limiting usage to the ones near BTN_LEFT. This also
adds a dependency on libevdev, but since libevdev is already a dependency
of libinput, this should be fine. If needed, this option can have dependency
guards added.
Binding changes:
- button1: BTN_LEFT -> BTN_LEFT
- button2: BTN_RIGHT -> BTN_MIDDLE
- button3: BTN_MIDDLE -> BTN_RIGHT
- button4: BTN_SIDE -> SWAY_SCROLL_UP
- button5: BTN_EXTRA -> SWAY_SCROLL_DOWN
- button6: BTN_FORWARD -> SWAY_SCROLL_LEFT
- button7: BTN_BACK -> SWAY_SCROLL_RIGHT
- button8: BTN_TASK -> BTN_SIDE
- button9: BTN_JOYSTICK -> BTN_EXTRA
Since the axis events need to be mapped to an event code, this uses the
following mappings to avoid any conflicts:
- SWAY_SCROLL_UP: KEY_MAX + 1
- SWAY_SCROLL_DOWN: KEY_MAX + 2
- SWAY_SCROLL_LEFT: KEY_MAX + 3
- SWAY_SCROLL_RIGHT: KEY_MAX + 4
This adds support for `i3 4.16`'s ability to set the title alignment.
The command is `title_align left|center|right`.
When the title is on the right, marks are moved to the left. Otherwise,
they are on the right.
`i3 4.16` allows users to list multiple outputs for a workspace and the
first available will be used. The syntax is as follows:
`workspace <workspace> output <outputs...>`
Additionally when the workspace is created, the outputs get added to the
output priority list in the order specified. This ensures that if a higher
output gets connected, the workspace will move to the higher output. This
works the same way as if the user had a workspace on an output, disconnected
the output, and then later reconnected the output.
This implements the following syntaxes from `i3 4.16`:
* `resize set [width] <width> [px|ppt]`
* `resize set height <height> [px|ppt]`
* `resize set [width] <width> [px|ppt] [height] <height> [px|ppt]`
Additionally, a bug was fixed that caused setting the height of a tiled
container to change the width instead due to a typo.
This introduces the following command extensions from `i3-gaps`:
* `gaps horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left <amount>`
* `gaps horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left all|current
set|plus|minus <amount>`
* `workspace <ws> gaps horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left
<amount>`
`inner` and `outer` are also still available as options for all three
of the above commands. `outer` now acts as a shorthand to set/alter
all sides.
Additionally, this fixes two bugs with the prevention of invalid gap
configurations for workspace configs:
1. If outer gaps were not set and inner gaps were, the outer gaps
would be snapped to the negation of the inner gaps due to `INT_MIN`
being less than the negation. This took precedence over the default
outer gaps.
2. Similarly, if inner gaps were not set and outer gaps were, inner
gaps would be set to zero, which would take precedence over the
default inner gaps.
Fixing both of the above items also requires checking the gaps again
when creating a workspace since the default outer gaps can be smaller
than the negation of the workspace specific inner gaps.
The directive controlled whether floating views should raise to the top
when the cursor is moved over it while using focus_follows_mouse. The
default was enabled, which is undesirable. For example, if you have two
floating views where one completely covers the other, the smaller one
would be inaccessible because moving the mouse over the bigger one would
raise it above the smaller one.
There is no known use case for having raise_floating enabled, so this
patch removes the directive and implements the raise_floating disabled
behaviour instead.
While allowing negative values for the outer gaps it is still prevented that negative values move windows out of the container. This replaces the non-i3 option for edge_gaps.
This introduces a new view_impl function: is_transient_for. Similar to
container_has_ancestor but works using the surface parents rather than
the tree.
This patch modifies view_is_visible, container_at and so on to allow
transient views to function normally when they're in front of a
fullscreen view.
Fixes `hide_edge_borders smart` when gaps are in use.
Implements `hide_edge_borders smart_no_gaps` and `smart_borders
on|no_gaps|off`.
Since `smart_borders on` is equivalent to `hide_edge_borders smart`
and `smart_borders no_gaps` is equivalent to `hide_edge_borders
smart_no_gaps`, I opted to just save the last value set for
`hide_edge_borders` and restore that on `smart_borders off`. This
simplifies the conditions for setting the border.
