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.
Now that we properly handle state changes during cursor operations,
blocking these commands if the target view is the target of a cursor
operation is unnecessary complexity. It is also inconsistent as we
don't block changing the tags of the view.
Currently the spawn command takes any number of arguments and naively
joins them together with spaces before passing them as the single
argument of `/bin/sh -c`. This however produces unexpected results as
soon as shell quoting gets involved in the arguments passed to spawn.
For example, running
riverctl spawn foo "bar baz"
will execute `/bin/sh -c "foo bar baz"`, unexpectedly splitting bar and
baz into separate arguments. To avoid this confusion, make the spawn
command take only a single argument, forcing the user to quote properly
to spawn multi-argument commands.
- 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.

This change is made in the interest of allowing users to simply re-run
their init script at runtime without errors. Making this an error
doesn't really gain us anything.
The ergonomics of remapping keys are currently quite bad as unmap
must first be called for every mapping before defining a new one.
Any benefit that might be gained by the current strictness of map/
map-pointer is outweighed by this fact.
In a similar spirit, silently ignore unmapping a non-existent mapping.
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).
There is now a single iter() function which accepts a filter and context
allowing users of the api to filter the views in any arbitrary way. This
change allowed for a good amount of code cleanup, and this commit also
ensures that the correct properties are checked in each case, including
the new View.destroying field added in the previous commit. This fixes
at least one crash involving switching focus to a destroying view.
Focus was made double-buffered in 96a91fd. However, much of the code
still behaved as if focus was separate from the transaction system.
This commit completes the work started in 96a91fd and ensures that
focus is applied consistently in a single transaction.
- require the caller to use Root.startTransaction() directly
- introduce View.applyPending() to unify logic
- introduce View.shouldTrackConfigure() to unify more logic
- update all callsites to intelligently rearrange only what is necessary
When a floating view is returned to the layout or made fullscreen, it
now saves the dimesions it had while floating and returns to that same
position/size if made to float again.
Transactions are only useful when multiple views need to atomically
change size together. Float/fullscreen views are independant of the
layout and should bypass the transaction system.
`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.
This simplifies the handling of the current/pending tags and will be
used in the future for atomic layout updates involving layer surface
exclusive zones.
The state struct holds all of the state that is double-buffered and
applied through transactions. This more explicit handling simplifies
much of the code, and will allow for easier implementation of new
feature such as fullscreen.
This is in preperation for fullscreen support which will add another
mode to this enum.
This commit also fixes a bug that allowed clicking floating views though
layout views in some cases.
This is trivial to support and allows basic customization without
running a layer-shell program such as swaybg. This is especially useful
in low memory situations.
