This rule action accepts and assigns a set of 32 tags represented as a
32 bit integer just like all of river's other commands handling tags.
Using the singular here is potentially misleading and is also
inconsistent with set-view-tags, etc. which all use the plural.
Sorry about the breaking change for those who use master branch, ideally
I would have caught this before merging but at least I noticed before a
release.
This commit also does a bit of internal refactoring/cleanup of the rules
system.
This commit adds a fullscreen rule for configuring
whether the view should be drawn fullscreen on start up.
The actions "fullscreen" and "no-fullscreen" map to the two
possible state of a view and semantically operate on the same
rule list. The behavior of adding, deleting and listing rules
follows that of float and ssd.
This commit adds position and dimensions rules for configuring
the initial position and dimensions of views.
When a view is not matched by any position rules, it is centered
in the avaliable output space matching the current behavior. If
the provided position rule places the view outside of the output,
the view's position is clamped to the output bounds (with respect
to borders).
When a view is not matched by any dimensions rules, no default
dimensions is set by the server. If the provided dimensions rule
exceeds the minimum or maximum width/height constraints of the view,
the view's width/height is clamped to the constraints.
Position and dimensions rules have no effect if a view is started
fullscreen or is not floating. A view must be matched by a float
rule in order for them to take effect.
It is not unusual to see people coming to river directly from X11,
confused by some things being renamed (and by river having tags). Give
them some basic help for reading the manpage and understanding our talk.
Previous order was (action, conditions, action argument), current is
(conditions, action, action argument). The old one was an expansion of
(action, conditions), which itself most likely came from the separate
<action>-filter-add commands. On the other hand, the new order keeps
action and its argument together and is in line with the logical flow
(check conditions, apply action).
On shell completions: only bash absolutely needed to be updated. fish
and zsh slightly misbehave regardless of the order.
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.
Currently the spawn-tagmask applies to the currently focused output.
This however means that it is lost if the monitor is unplugged and makes
it hard to set for all outputs.
Change this to make the command apply to all outputs.
This is a breaking change.
- Remove recommendation of XKB_* environment variables in river(1) as we
now have a dedicated riverctl keyboard-layout command.
- Give an example of how to use and switch between multiple layouts in
the riverctl(1) man page.
Warp the cursor to the center of the focused view if the cursor is not
in the bounding box of that view already. This helps the user to keep
track of their cursor when they mostly use the keyboard and the cursor
becomes hidden most of the time, also helps trackpad/trackpoint users.
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.
This was removed a while back because it was buggy and I didn't know
of anyone using it. Since refactoring it is now trivial to implement
and I know of at least one person using it, so I don't mind reviving it.
e.g. `riverctl map -layout 0 normal Super Y spawn foot`
When this mapping is checked against a pressed key, layout 0 will be used to translate the pressed key instead of the currently active layout.
The number denotes to an index of the layouts set with
`XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT`.
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.
We used to look in /etc/river/init if no init at ~/.config/river/init
or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/river/init was found but this feature was
removed. It seems that we forgot to remove this mention of the old
behavior however.
This doesn't really matter that much as unrecognized options will still
trigger a help message to be printed, but -h is much more standard so
lets make the predictable choice here while sticking to only single '-'
flags.
This extends the `csd-filter-add` command to allow matching on window
titles as well, using a `csd-filter-add kind pattern` syntax. The
following kinds are supported:
* `title`, which matches window titles
* `app-id`, which matches app ids
Only exact matches are considered.
As an example following configuration applies client-side decorations to
all windows with the title 'asdf with spaces'.
riverctl csd-filter-add title 'asdf with spaces'
This extends the `float-filter-add` command to allow matching on window
titles as well, using a `float-filter-add kind pattern` syntax. The
following kinds are supported:
* `title`, which matches window titles
* `app-id`, which matches app ids
Only exact matches are considered.
As an example following configuration floats all windows with the title
'asdf with spaces'.
riverctl float-filter-add title 'asdf with spaces'
