This is a breaking change and replaces the previous
csd-filter-add/remove and float-filter-add/remove commands.
See the riverctl(1) man page for documentation on the new system.
This reduces the impact of keyboard groups on the Keyboard.zig
implementation and otherwise improves consistency with patterns used
elsewhere in rivers code.
There are also two small changes to the riverctl interface:
- keyboard-group-add-keyboard is renamed to keyboard-group-add
- keyboard-group-remove is added to support removing keyboards from a
group.
From the riverctl.1 man page:
*hide-cursor* *timeout* _timeout_
Hide the cursor if it wasn't moved in the last _timeout_
milliseconds until it is moved again.
The default value is 0, which disables automatically hiding the
cursor. Show the cursor again on any movement.
*hide-cursor* *when-typing* *enabled*|*disabled*
Hide the cursor when pressing any non-modifier key. Show the cursor
again on any movement.
Repeating mappings are created using the -repeat option to the map
command:
% riverctl map normal $mod+Mod1 K -repeat move up 10
- repeating is only supported for key press (not -release) mappings
- unlike -release, -repeat does not create distinct mappings: mapping a
key with -repeat will replace an existing bare mapping and vice-versa
Resolves#306
The current format of #RRGGBBAA is problematic as # starts a comment
in POSIX compliant shells, requiring escaping/quoting and increasing
complexity.
This is a breaking change.
- Remove advertise_view and advertise_done events. Using the information
provided by these for any purpose would make the layout far less
predictable. Futhermore, in the months this has been available for use,
to my knowledge nobody has actually used it for anything useful.
- Replace the set/mod layout value events with a single user_command
event. This simplifies the protocol and is more flexible for clients.
- Add a layout_name argument to the commit request. This name is an
arbitrary, user-facing string that might, for example, be displayed by a
status bar. This was present in early drafts of the protocol, but was
removed in favor of river-options. Since river-options itself has since
been removed and this feature is nice to have, re-add it.
- Rename main factor to main ratio in rivertile. The "factor" name was
just legacy from dwm, "ratio" is much more accurate.
This code is complex and increases maintenance burden but doesn't
add any functionality, only eye-candy.
Futhermore, neither I nor any of the core contributors use it.
There may be a place in river for such eye-candy down the line, in which
case this code could be revived. Currently river is early enough in its
development that our focus should be on core functionality instead.
On output change, if the cursor is not already on the newly focused
output, it will now be warped to its center. The check is necessary,
since focusing outputs with the pointer will be implemented in
the future.
Replace the current layout mechanism based on passing args to a child
process and parsing it's stdout with a new wayland protocol. This much
more robust and allows for more featureful layout generators.

main is a better term to use here for several reasons:
1. It is more accurate: "master" implies that the designated views have
some kind of control over the other views, which is not the case. "main"
better expresses that the difference between the "main" view and others
is one of importance/focus.
2. It is a shorter word. 2 whole characters saved!
3. It reduces the chance of future development time being lost to
good-intentioned people complaining about usage of the word master as
has recently happened with regards to the default git branch name.
This command takes a mode, modifiers, button/event name, and pointer
action as arguments. It stores these in the config data structure.
The currently available pointer actions are move-view and resize-view,
which replace the previously hard-coded functionality.
Closing the hovered view with middle click has temorarily been removed
until it is decided if we wish to make this another special pointer
action or perhaps allow running any arbitrary command (which would of
course include close).
`riverctl set-option view_padding 10` becomes `riverctl view-padding 10`
Having set-option doesn't really gain us anything and is more verbose as
well as being slightly inaccurate as the changes instantly apply.
