The current `awful.widget.layoutlist` is a fork of the so far uncommitted `naughty.widget.actionlist`. It was created because some of the support code for the new `naughty` implementation needed "easier to merge" usage examples. The `layoutlist` was chosen because it was both a low hanging fruit and genuinely useful.
This module is half way between the tooltip and the raw wibox.
It supports the following features:
* Auto resize to its widget size
* Support parent objects and placement
Fix#1683
If the `layouts` are set during initialization, `t.layout` will
return `floating` if `t.layouts` is added before `t.layout`. By
using the raw layout, the fallback doesn't kicks in.
Given noone understand this code, this will prevent some semi likely
regressions from going unnoticed. The main risk is the shims not
producing the exact same results as the real implementation and
cause different code paths to be taken.
As of this commit, both the "real" and "shim" implementation were given
the same set of tests with print() at every step of next_to. The
resulting log was then checksummed to ensure both are identical.
It also add some properties such as `border_width`, `border_color`
and `preferred_alignments`.
It also fix a documentation bug where the `margin_topleft` was called
`margins_topleft`. To conform to the documentation, both are now valid
but one should be removed the next time the API changes.
Fixes#1978
By passing the geometry, important information used by
awful.placement.next_to were "lost". Given `next_to` supports both
widget position, the mouse and client/wibox relative positioning, it
has to know the object type.

In the earlier revision of the keygrabber PR, there was a `release_key`
and it was suggested to rename it `stop_key`. However its sibling
`release_event` wasn't, so it is now confusing.
The commit adds a mild deprecation codepath to avoid breaking configs
based on git-master. However it isn't a "long term" deprecation notice
and the code can probably be removed in 5.0 without further delay.
Previously, the layout list was global. However it wasn't covering all
possible use cases and make using `awful.widget.layoutlist` hard since
a layout could be excluded from the `awful.layout.layouts` but still
used for a tag (by setting it explicitly).
Until now there wasn't much documentation available about how to use
these properties. With the new work on `awful.spawn` that rely more and
more on `awful.rules` integration, it is worth fixing.
This commit add a new documentation section and a future commit will
aggregate them to generate an index.
The toggle/show/hide function were incompatible with the current
`rc.lua` is `titlebars_enabled` was removed from the rules because
they were never created. This has always been the case but the
introduction os `request::titlebars` in Awesome 4.0 allows to solve
this longstanding issue. However until now it didn't.
Fix#2419
If the history file (or its parents) can't be created, running a command
will fail entirely. Since saving command history is not an integral part
of running a command, it would be nicer if it carried on, just without
saving history. This is what shells usually do.
This patch removes assertions in the history saving function and
instead adds an early return, so if the history isn't saved the command
invocation simply carries on.

This commit adds a way to leverage the xproperty and startup_id APIs
to persist an execution token across restarts. It allows to use
`awful.rules` on clients that were executed by a previous Awesome
instance.
The main limitations of these methods is the lack of entropy used to
build the token. If the command is the same in multiple
`awful.spawn.once`, then it will not work as expected. To mitigate this
issue, the system try to concatenate the `awful.rules` table after the
command and hash the resulting string. Given rules are a table, it can
have loops and/or issues with keys ordering. The hash function sort and
limite recursion to prevent a stack overflow. Another issue is the
unreliability of startup notifications.
The awful.placement.no_offscreen function did not work properly when
composed with other placement functions; in particular, the default
configuration (awful.placement.no_overlap+awful.placement.no_offscreen)
was broken. The compose function sets args.pretend=true and puts the
result of the previous placement function into args.override_geometry
before calling the next placement function, but no_offscreen did not use
args.override_geometry, therefore the result of the previous placement
function was discarded.
All other placement functions use `geometry_common(c, args)` to get the
current client geometry; `area_common(c)` should be used only when
getting geometry of other clients.
This change also fixes the problem with margin handling (adding margins
should not affect the window size, only the window position should
change); the test output which was adjusted in commit 0275d3537d
is adjusted again to account for this change.
Signed-off-by: Sergey Vlasov <sigprof@gmail.com>
The awful.placement.no_overlap function was adding the window border
width to the client width and height (this is performed in
area_common(), which is called by geometry_common()), but did not
reverse this operation by calling remove_border() before returning the
final geometry; because of this, using no_overlap resulted in increasing
the window width and height by 2*border_width.
The bug was probably introduced in commit ebcc19844e (before
that commit no_overlap changed the window position directly instead of
relying on the new placement infrastructure), but was not noticed
because of other problems (e.g., in the default configuration the result
of no_overlap was overridden by the buggy no_offscreen).

The typo was introduced in commit a1941efc9.
Its effect should be minimal: :item_enter() itself does not care about
the 'mouse' option, but it forwards to :exec(). Here, an action is
invoked either if it was not caused by the mouse, or if it was caused by
the mouse and either auto_expand is enabled (which is the default), or
the item-to-be-executed is actually the active item.
In other words, it is quite non-trivial to come up with a case where
this typo made a difference. But of course that's no reason to leave the
typo in.

The old keygrabber API wasn't doing what the users want from a
keygrabber module. With tons of boilerplate code, everything could
be done, but it wasn't trivial.
This commit add a default grabber function that implements the
keybinding API already used by `awful.key` and `awful.prompt`.
It also add syntax candy left and right to make the module "feel"
like a native CAPI object.
Nothing is perfect and some parts, like adding root keybindings, are not
vevy pleasing. However it fulfill its goal when it comes to make
previously non-trivial use case very easy to implement and deploy.
This code was attached to mouse::enter in `rc.lua` instead of being part
of the unified request::activate architecture.
There is currently no way to detach this focus filter because it is
generally correct.
There is currently no centralized way to manage active keybindings so
the description data case be used to fill part of that role until an
official API is added.
Layouts work with the client's geometry in "space on screen that is
assigned to this client". This means that the geometry should include
decoration (titlebar and borders) and useless gaps.
Everything else (especially the C code) works with client's geometry in
"space that the client can draw on". This means that the titlebar,
borders and the useless gaps are not included into this size.
Thus, when applying size hints, the tile layout has to convert between
these two representations. Otherwise, size hints are applied incorrectly
and to a wrong geometry.

The code here has things like "if cache.bgb" which suggests that "bgb"
(great name, by the way) is supposed to be optional. However,
31b8623ff6 made this thing definitely not optional by making it
*the* widget that is displayed. That feels wrong.
Also, after the above commit, the ".primary" entry is no longer used,
which is at least surprising for something which is called "primary".
None of this is explicitly documented (I didn't find anything when
looking for "primary" in common.lua nor tasklist.lua; I know that there
are examples for using this, but still that doesn't say how this is
supposed to work), so I'm not quite sure how this was intended to work.
Instead, I am just proposing this commit as a better fix with the above
rational and see what feedback I get...

This commit allow user defined delegates to be used as list elements.
This put an end to the endless attempt to cram more features into this
code.
A widget template (non-instantiated) is passed to the arguments and
is created by the common code. It also supports "roles" where some
user defined widgets can replace the old textbox or imagebox.
The old function didn't scale at all. As no replacements are going
to be merged anytime soon, start to make it meta-extensible.
This is the first step to be able to let the widget be extended
directly from rc.lua without adding yet more silly parameters.
It never scaled and has reached the point of no return a very long
time ago.
My first ever contribution to Awesome was to attempt to fix this,
but the solution was a bad hack. The radical module later solved
this by delegating the style, layout, theme, item layout and item
style to various "visitor" objects. While this is superior to this
commit, it was also a very large and complicated codebase. After
5 years, it is now obvious it will never be merged "whole".
Do it now since the future awful.popup and notification widget
also uses it.
The `load_ldoc.cmake` changes allow to include `.ldoc` blocks in
existing ldoc comments. Previously, it added some extra newlines
and an autogenerated comments saying the content below was imported.
The problem is that this prevented the system to be used for shared
function arguments.
This commit also renames the `wibar` argument table from `arg` to
`args` as the name has to be the same in the `wibox` and `wibar`
constructor for this to work.
As long as Awesome provides APIs that uses pixels are points, this
cannot be enabled by default.
For example, a wibar size defined in pixels may be too small to
render the text once a dense display is connected.
If a tag is specified by name, but no such tags exist, awful.rules would
cause an error (attempt to index a nil value). Fix this and add a test
for this case.

To apply the shape of a client, we have to create an image and draw the
shape we want to it. Since clients can be quite large, we have to make
sure that we do not keep this image alive unnecessarily long.
The code in awful.client.shape.get_transformed() however needs another
temporary surface in case the client has its own shape and another one
was set in Lua (side note: currently the code also creates this extra
temporary surface if the client does not have its own shape; that might
be worth fixing). This temporary surface is then used as the source of a
cairo context to draw it to the image that will be used as the client's
final source.
After we are done, the temporary surface is still kept alive since it is
the current source of the cairo context. The cairo context in turn is
only freed when Lua's garbage collector collects it, which may take
quite a while.
Improve this by setting a different source to the cairo context. Thus,
it now releases the temporary surface as soon as possible and it is only
allocated for a short time.

The magnifier layout handles the currently focused client specially.
However, if the currently floating client is floating, it should not be
handled by the layout at all. A bug caused the magnifier layout to
handle a focused and floating client anyway if it was the only tiled
client.
Fix this by removing the '#cls > 0'-case. If #cls == 0, then no client
is available to be managed. Thus, cls[1] will be nil, which is fine
since, well, no client is available to be managed. This only made a
difference in the specific bug that I described above. Thus, drop this

When gap_single_client is set to 'false', no gap is used when only one
client is shown in a tag. Since the max layout only ever shows one
client at a time it makes sense to apply this setting for this layout
regardless of the actual number of clients in that tag.
Additionally, if the 'master_fill_policy' property is set to
'master_width_factor', then use a gap even if there is only one client
visible and 'gap_single_client' is false.
There were multiple things which stood out to me, as I was trying to setup a simple calendar popup for my textclock:
1.: The functions in https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/awful.widget.calendar_popup.html#Functions were not named correctly (calendar vs calendar_popup) which (naturally) produced an error when used as awful.widget.calendar.month() .
2.: The example for calendar_popup.month() was obviously missing a line (where does the month_calendar come from?) . Resolved by copying the line from the attach-example
3.: The same examples also only refer to the function as calendar.month() which should be changed to awful.widget.calendar_popup.month()
1. before this patch the "Shift" key(s) to get to Shift-Tab would reset
ncomp already.
2. "Shift-Tab" will come in as "Tab" with mod.Shift typically.
3. cur_pos and ncomp have to get reset in case of going back to the
original entry.
When awful.tag.new() got a list of layouts shorter than the list of
names, it would previously create tags with nil as their layout. This

If an error occurs while a layout is being applied, arrange_lock could
get stuck at true, meaning that no more re-arranges will happen, thus
breaking the whole layout machinery.

This implementes the FIXME added a few commits ago. A new
request::geometry handler turns client requests into normal
lua `c.maximized = true` property changes.
A relatively common problem with awesome is with mixing sticky clients
and the focus history. Once a sticky client ever had the focus, it will
always get the focus after a tag switch. This is because the focus
history is global and the sticky client is always the most recently
focused and currently visible client in the list.
Work around this by discriminating sticky clients: First try to find a
client to focus, but ignore sticky clients. When this does not find
anything, try again, but this time also consider sticky clients.
(Basically the same issue exists with clients that are on multiple tags,
but I guess that one can be ignored.)

Once upon a time, 4b9584fdb1 already fixed this problem: We have to
set the border width to zero before applying the new geometry to the
client, because changing the border width makes the client move
according to its gravity.
Then came e54387904b and made this code use awful.placement instead
of just fullscreening the client itself (without explaining why in the
commit message!). After this commit, the border width was just ignored
and left as-is. This was then fixed in 0bf8bb6a64 (no idea which
callback the commit message refers to, the old code was basically just
c.border_width=0, c:geometry(screen_geo)). However, now the border width
was again changed after the geometry and the bug that was fixed by
4b9584fdb1 was back.
This commit fixes this regression again by making sure that the border
width is set to zero before the geometry is set. This becomes slightly
more complicated, because now it is also awful.placement's job to
restore the old border width.
This is why this commit adds a new option to awful.placement so that it
sets the border width to zero after creating its memento of the old
border width.

There are some cases where a client's floating state "silently" changes.
For example, a fullscreen client will be considered floating. However,
even though c.floating changes its value in this case, we did not emit
the property::floating signal.
Fix this by explicitly tracking the "implicitly floating" state. When
some property that influences this "implicitly floating" state changes,
we update it and if a client which was not explicitly assigned a
floating state observes a change in this value, property::floating is
emitted.
This was tested by running a terminal and two xeyes in a tag with a
tiling layout where awful.ewmh was patched so that clients do not change
their geometry when fullscreening or maximizing. It was observable that
after this patch e.g. the titlebar and the tasklist update to show the
floating state of the client which became implicitly floating due to
being maximized.
