A receptacle is an unfocusable empty leaf node.
Receptacles are used for building a tree without creating windows.
Example:
bspc node -i
bspc node @/ -p east -i
bspc node @/2 -p north -i
bspc rule -a Abc:abc -o node=@/1
bspc rule -a Ijk:ijk -o node=@/2/1
bspc rule -a Xyz:xyz -o node=@/2/2
Fixes#259.
Along the way, we also fixed the handling of the `*_padding`,
`window_gap` and `border_width` settings. The previous behavior was the
result of a bad decision (9fed780), as a response to #141. Many issues
followed: #143, #158, #260, etc. We now handle those settings as
intuitively as possible.
We also fixed a potential segfault in `cmd_node`, triggered by `bspc
node -d`[sic].
Fixes#402#252.
There's no constraints on desktop and monitor names, therefore, using a
desktop or monitor name as descriptor is ambiguous.
We put an end to this ambiguity by introducing desktop and monitor IDs.
`bspc query -{M,D}` now yields IDs instead of names.
Fixes#397.
It is now easy to access any attribute by piping the output of
`query -T` to a JSON extractor/filter.
E.g.:
bspc query -T -d DESKTOP_SEL | jq -r .layout
And it also makes `restore -T` more robust.
Put fullscreen windows in the ABOVE layer by default.
Let *x*, and *y* be two windows in the same desktop. *y* is focused and
its fullscreen state is *on*. When *x* requests the focus: if *x* is
below *y*, then the fullscreen state of *y* is toggled.
Stacking now involves 3 layers: BELOW, NORMAL and ABOVE.
In each layers, floating windows are stacked above tiled windows.
The *stack* function is now extremely simple: it just inserts an item in
a sorted list, relying on *stack_cmp* to compare clients.
Fullscreen windows are no longer special.
Because many clients (e.g. termite) prevent us (maybe unknowingly) from
capturing motion events on their windows, we're forced to create a
window for this sole purpose.
Grabbing the pointer isn't an option, because it forces us to consider
some of the enter notify events we should be ignoring.
- Expand `underlying_monitor` into `monitor_from_client` to avoid
passing a NULL pointer to `translate_client`.
- Remove the `fit_monitor` setting (use the `--center` rule effect
instead).
- Don't remap a window in it's last location (node invisibility would be
the proper way to do this).
- Call `translate_client` after configure requests.
Tags should generalize desktops.
To accomplish this, the main node attributes: (type, ratio) would have
to become a dictionary: ((tf1, (type1, ratio1)), (tf2, (type2, ratio2),
...). (`tf<n>` being a tag field.).
