This commit doesn't add any useful documentation, but adds
previously hidden documentation variables. It can be the basis
of a better layout documentation.
Fix#1246
The function that is documented as awful.wibox.stretch is deprecated,
because it was removed (that's not a deprecation, is it?!?). For the
replacement, we used "@see stretch". However, LDoc was randomly
resolving this reference to awful.wibar.stretch (good) or
awful.wibox.stretch (bad; the see points to the element where it
appears).
Fix this by spelling out the "full name" of the function in the @see.

Spawn callbacks were never invoked when no startup-notification-rules were
given. This commit fixes the code so that "startup done" callbacks are also
called when no rules were given.

The usual "a or b"-trick to simulate C's ?:-operator does not work when
"false" is a valid value. Fix the code to handle this correctly and add
a short unit test which would have caught this problem.

Instead of doing Linux-specific magic with error codes and trying to
read the first byte of a file, just use Gio to check if a file exists

When adding callbacks as a `callback` entry in a property, the callback
is run by `awful.rules`, because it does `c.callback =
result_of_function`. This is obviously not intended. Also, this causes
the callbacks to run twice, because the code already handled this
`callback` property specially.
Fix this by just not merging callbacks with the normal rules at all.

as a property under the tag object. This avoids all kinds of leaks, for

This is the first step in deprecating them. A function with so
many optional arguments is just bad design.
The next few commits will rewrite the documentation and deprecate
the old arguments.
For a while, it was often suggested on IRC to replace the default
request::activate handler to implement custom focus stealing policies.
While it is working, it isn't user friendly. This commit add a simple
mechanism to add such policies.
This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to
document e.g. arguments for callbacks), and "@screen_or_idx" when a
function accepts a "screen" or "number".
The default config had tables like mywibox and mywibox[s] was the wibox
that is visible on screen s. When a screen is removed, nothing cleans up
these tables and so the screen and the wibox could not be garbage
collected. The same applies to the layoutbox, taglist etc.
This commit removes the global mywibox table and instead saves it as a
property on the screen. This way, the screen is not explicitly
referenced and when it is removed, the screen, its wibox and all of its
widgets become unreachable and can be garbage collected.
This commit also updates the docs and the tests that referenced things
(mostly the wibox) via mywibox[s] to now use s.mywibox.

The magnifier layout wants to ignore floating clients. Before 82342f0 this was
done by calling awful.client.floating.get(focus). If "focus" was nil, this might
have checked the floating status of a wrong client (if some other client was
focused, and the code in magnifier set focus=nil before). This issue can easily
be missed and might exist since forever. After 82342f, floating status is
checked via "focus.floating" and this now causes an "attempt to index nil value"
error instead. Much easier to notice.
Fix this by adding the missing nil check and while touching the code, merge this
with the previous "if" and correct another error (the wrong thing happened if we
had #cls=0).

A client is supposed to go to a screen when:
* It has been started using `awful.spawn` with explicit instructions [1]
* An `awful.rules` rule **or any of its callbacks** set the screen [2]
* When something handle `request::screen` and/or `request::tag` in some
custom ways. [3]
* Some clients can request a screen and mean it (like MythTV/Kodi/XBMC and
some multi-window DAW) [4]
A client is supposed to go to the focused screen when none of the above are
true [5].
Other constraints:
* The screen need to be set only once, anything will will emit
`property::screen` many time and cause side effects.
* There has to be a single entry point to the algorithm, no multiple
"manage" handler.
* Awesome internals must use the `request::` signal API and not force
their decision outside of request handlers.
* Restarting Awesome must not change the client screen
Commit 2178744 fix use case number [1] and [2]. It actually fix [4] too, but
it is an accident and I am not sure we care about [4] anyway. Use case [1]
and [2], however, are very important.
Fix#1091
The geometry storage has been moved into awful.placement. This
code was never executed as data[] was never populated.
There is some behavior that is indeed lost, but it is unlikely
someone will ever notice (it has been broken for 6 months).
The previous code attempted to handle scrren changes while
maximized. The new code organization shift this responsability
to awful.placement. However, it doesn't yet fully implement the
previous logic.
Awesome 3.5.9 accepts `_active`/`_inactive` names for `beautiful`
minimize keys (such as "titlebar_minimize_button_focus_inactive").
Some themes rely on those, meaning that when they loaded under
the current Git, the minimize button went missing. This adds a
fallback, to improve compatibility with the existing themes.
This commit remove the `awful.tag` "manage" hook. The relevant
code has been moved to ewmh.lua request::tag handler. The handler
is called either by a volontary screen change or by a forced one.
It also require the awful.rules to be executed. This is done by
default and the user would have to explicitly disable that
behavior. From now on, disabling the rules require the user to
handle tag selection.
Fixes#1028#1052
There was still a problem that caused the "old" tags to be
inserted in the wrong position when "saved" from a screen being
removed.
Also, this use a :get_tags(true) to save an uneeded sorting pass.
The index was updated on an unordered table. As the elements
order did not match the relative indices once they have been
changed, further calls to set_index produced garbage.
The default taglist didn't notice because it use screen.tags
table index instead of the tag index. A debug using
echo 'for _,t in ipairs(mouse.screen.tags) do
print("INDEX:", _, t.index, t.name) end' | awesome-client
Would have shown two or more elements with the same index. To
debug issues related to tag indices, this bash script can be
enabled:
while true; do
echo 'for _,t in ipairs(mouse.screen.tags) do
assert( _==t.index) end' | awesome-client
sleep 0.5
done
This commit add the last placement function imported from the
Radical module.
It allows to place a wibox/client next to another object. It tries
to find the best fit. It also support wibox widgets.
This is intended for tooltips and menus, but can also be used in
`awful.rules` to place the new client as close as possible to the
focused one without overlap.
This reverts commit facf676b13.
Using capi.client.focus.screen to decide which screen is focused breaks
a multiscreen setup. At least makes it extremely annoying to use.
In particular, if you have a focused client on screen 1, move the mouse
to screen 2 and launch a new client, the new client appears in screen 1,
since screen.focused reports that current focused screen is 1, not 2
because of the focused client.

The deprecation wrapper that we still have for this function didn't return
anything. However, awful.util.pread() used to return strings. This breaks
script.
Work around this by returning an empty string. That way code will still break,
but at least it should not error out.

The default config creates the same set of tags for all screens ("1" to "9"). An
awful.rules-rule with e.g. screen = 2, tag = "3" should obviously tag matching
clients with tag "3" of the second screen.
However, the implementation used the first matching tag in the list of all tags
and thus the client ended up tagged with tag "3" from screen 1. Fix this by
calling find_by_name() with the screen that the client is assigned to.
The existing implementation of awful.rules guarantees that any
"screen"-properties are applied before the code touched by this commit is run,
thus this should always work.
This commit does not add a test catching this because we are currently quite bad
at testing multi-screen scenarios and I don't want to invent the necessary
machinery right now.

Commit 0318c61328 added an image for the minimize button which was
missing before. However, only the default theme and xresources where fixed to
contain the path to the image.
This commit adds the path to all themes.
Also, minimized clients aren't visible, just as closed (=killed) clients aren't
visible. Thus, we don't need an "active" version of this image.
This commit makes us handle the image for the minimize button just like we
handle the close button: There is no difference between "active" and "inactive"
and the file path in the theme doesn't get any path suffix.

If:
1) An app is open in a tag
2) A new tag is created
3) The app is closed in the first tag
4) The first tag is deleted
5) The new tag is deleted
Then this history would try to restore an inactive tag without
a screen. Bad things will then happen.
Reported on IRC. I am not sure why swap() is not enough, but the
old code removed before the mouse refactor did this, so apparently
it is necessary.
The fix has been reported to work by spyroboy on IRC, thanks!
First some reminder on how client geometries works (in X11, awesome just copied
that!):
- The position (x,y) defines where the border of the client begins
- This means that the content starts at (x+border_width,y+border_width)
- However, the size is the size of the client without border
- Thus, the client covers the rectangle from (x,y) to (x+2*bw,y+2*bw)
The client snapping code got this wrong. It only deals with rectangles and thus
for things to work as expected, the width/height have to be increased by two
times the border width. When snapping a client against other visible clients,
the geometry of the client to snap against wasn't calculated correctly.
This was apparently noticed at one point and worked around by decreasing the
position by two times the border width. While this is terribly wrong, it
actually makes things work correctly when snapping to the right or bottom edge
of a client, but breaks for the other edges.
Fix this by just calculating things correctly.
This is based on a patch from jk411.

The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.

There was already a bug, as self.active_child.visible
was used instead of self.active_child.wibox.visible
This caused some confusion that this attribute was a widget.
It wasn't.
The behavior was changed during the rewrite. This was a mistake
as it was assumed (wrongly) that nobody used this function with
wiboxes other than "wibars" (awful.wibox).
