It is not guaranteed that the next layout_demand event after a user_command
event has the same active tags (for example when there are no views visible).
As an example, a user could trigger a user_command while no views are visible,
then switch to a different tag set which has active views. The active tags of
the previous layout_demand may also be different.
Therefore it is impossible to correctly implement a layout generator which has
user commands apply only to the currently active tag set, which is solved by
this patch.
- 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.
