`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.
There's no point having both movement_direction and wlr_direction. This
replaces the former with the latter.
As movement_direction also contained MOVE_PARENT and MOVE_CHILD items,
these are now checked specifically in the focus command and handled in
separate functions, just like the other focus variants.
The previous pull request #2993 tried to fix this by moving the function which
used the layers after the initilization.
Since this initialization is done unconditionally only depending on the struct
definition, move the layer initialization to the beginning of the function.
Also move the signal initialization of the destroy event.
Fixes#2992
The input manager is a singleton object. Passing the sway_input_manager
argument to each of its functions is unnecessary, while removing the
argument makes it obvious to the caller that it's a singleton. This
patch removes the argument and makes the input manager use server.input
instead.
On a similar note:
* sway_input_manager.server is removed in favour of using the server
global.
* seat.input is removed because it can get it from server.input.
Due to a circular dependency, creating seat0 is now done directly in
server_init rather than in input_manager_create. This is because
creating seats must be done after server.input is set.
Lastly, it now stores the default seat name using a constant and removes
a second reference to seat0 (in input_manager_get_default_seat).
When a view unmaps, we call workspace_consider_destroy. This function
assumed the workspace would always have an output, but this is not the
case when hotplugged down to zero. The function now handles this and
allows itself to be destroyed when there is no output.
This means that workspace_begin_destroy must remove the workspace from
the root->saved_workspaces list to avoid an eventual dangling pointer,
so it does that now.
Lastly, when an output is plugged in again and it has to create a new
initial workspace for it, we must emit the workspace::init IPC event
otherwise swaybar shows no workspaces at all. I guess when you start
sway, swaybar is started after the workspace has been created which is
why this hasn't been needed earlier.
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.
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.
* 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.
This introduces the following `for_each` functions:
* root_for_each_workspace
* root_for_each_container
* output_for_each_workspace
* output_for_each_container
* workspace_for_each_container
And introduces the following `find` functions:
* root_find_output
* root_find_workspace
* root_find_container
* output_find_workspace
* output_find_container
* workspace_find_container
* container_find_child
And removes the following functions:
* container_descendants
* container_for_each_descendant
* container_find
This change is preparing the way for demoting sway_container. Eventually
these functions will accept and return sway_outputs, sway_workspaces and
sway_containers (meaning a C_CONTAINER or C_VIEW).
This change also makes it easy to handle abnormalities like the
workspace floating list, root's scratchpad list and (once implemented)
root's saved workspaces list for when there's no connected outputs.
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.
Works:
- move [container|window] to workspace <name>
- Note, this should be able to move C_CONTAINER but this is untested
- move [workspace] to output [left|right|up|down|<name>]
Not implemented yet:
- move [left|right|up|down]
- move scratchpad
- move position
