Add a subcommand for `gaps` that allows to toggle gaps at
runtime. This functionality is part of i3-gaps since [1]
but is missing in sway.
[1] https://github.com/Airblader/i3/pull/264
In i3, the workspace_layout command does not affect the
workspace layout. Instead, new workspace level containers
are wrapped in the desired layout and the workspace layout
always defaults to the output orientation.
Add a separate per-view shortcuts_inhibitor command that can be used
with criteria to override the per-seat defaults. This allows to e.g.
disable shortcuts inhibiting globally but enable it for specific,
known-good virtualization and remote desktop software or, alternatively,
to blacklist that one slightly broken piece of software that just
doesn't seem to get it right but insists on trying.
Add a flag to sway_view and handling logic in the input manager that
respects that flag if configured but falls back to per-seat config
otherwise. Add the actual command but with just enable and disable
subcommands since there's no value in duplicating the per-seat
activate/deactivate/toggle logic here. Split the inhibitor retrieval
helper in two so we can use the backend half in the command to retrieve
inhibitors for a specific surface and not just the currently focused
one. Extend the manual page with documentation of the command and
references to its per-seat sibling and usefulness with criteria.

This allows e.g. triggering one command while a key is held, then
triggering another to undo the change performed by it afterwards. One
use case for this is triggering push-to-talk functionality for VoIP
tools without granting them full access to all input events.
Fixes#3151
Before the default was "smart". This means a visible app could steal focus
whenever it wanted to. This can be an issue since having focus allows for
e.g. clipboard access.
This commit changes the default to "urgent" instead.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/5139
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.
