The default `rc.lua` was using the focus/unfocus signals to set
the border color along with `awful.rules`. This logic block was
no longer aligned with the rest of `rc.lua` since it was
the only place where `beautiful` variables where only used by
`rc.lua`.
On top of this, the new request handler also has extra contexts
for the urgent and floating/maximixed use cases. So it can be used
by themes to implement much smarter borders than just focus based
ones. They were previously limited by the fact most of the
(un-monkey-patchable) logic was in `rc.lua`.
Note that this commit also shuffle the awful.rules order between
the titlebar and the border and changes the tests accordignly.
After some consideration, I came to the conclusion the previous
behavior was bogus and the fact that the placement tests required
to know about the titlebar height is simply a proof of that. The
change was required in this commit because since the border is no
longer in the default rules, a new buggy edge case surfaced.
They currently fit the general concept of a `request::` in the sense
that they are not property related and have "request handlers".
The commit also add deprecation for signals.
The reason for this fits within the larger standardization project.
Non-namespaced signals will eventually be renamed. This has started
a long time ago.
What is old is new again. Once upon a time, there was a `startup`
parameter to the `manage` signal. It is now back in the form of
a context.
Finally, this commit removes the `manage` section of `rc.lua`. It no
longer did anything worthy of being in the config. Each of its
important parts have been moved out over the years and the last
remaining bit is always required anyway. The code has been moved
to `client.lua`.
This method aims to provide a centralized, declarative API to focus
clients. Currently, there is tons of code using "request::activate",
including `rc.lua` and have extra boilerplate code around it to
handle some corner case (such as minimization and clients already
having the focus).
This code takes room, is repetitive and force some imperative logic
to be in `rc.lua`.
Just like 5 years ago, the dependency mess caused by the giant
`awful.client`, `awful.tag` and `awful.placement` requires to
split the code into small files with less dependencies and include
those.
In this case, the goal is to use the `awful.mouse.client` functions
from `awful.client`.
`awful.client` was only used once and the function exists as a
screen method. This will help untangle the dependencies a bit...
To tangle them even more after that...
This is the first commit of a new API to add and remove buttons
and keys from clients. The goal is to get rid of the default `rc.lua`
"hardcoded" list of client buttons and keys to allow modules to modify
the defaults. This is part of the larger effort to make `rc.lua`
modular.
Change how wibox are drawn to build a more flexible function reusable in the context of clients.
Add `clients` option to the template. This new option needs an associative table `{ ['label'] = client }` to work. Where label will be a text rendered on the middle of the client area.
Add a new example: `texts/examples/screen/tiled_clients.lua`.
Before this commit, the code directly modified the table where the tag's
properties were saved. This commit changes the code to call
awful.tag.setproperty() instead. This function ensures that
property::screen is now also emitted.

Another step in moving these APIs toward the common object oriented and
declarative paradigms used by other APIs.
This commit introduces the `awful.keyboard` module. It currenly only
exists as a placeholder for the first few append/remove function, but
will grow in scope in another pull request to expose the currently
private modifier APIs and to provide keybindings collision detection
and replace some of `awful.hotkey_popup` business logic.
The `keygrabber` tests which uses root keybindings are disabled for
now to keep the commit size small. This is necessary since the shims
will need many iterations of changes before this work again with the
new syntax.
It might not be the most pretty of change, but it works. With this
change, it is possible to have multiple "things" in the "same"
section having the "same" name.
This allows for C/C++ style functions with the same name but different
signatures. Lua doesn't handle this well, so it should usually be
avoided. However, constructors might be a valid exception. Most older
widget (and object) constructors have multiple random argument while
newer one use `args`. Deprecating the old ones for the sake of
standardization might be a bit too much for users upgrading from v3.5.
Given the only reason all of those deprecation would happen is because
"its pretty that way", then lets allow 2 constructors and avoid outrage.
The fix focuses on ewmh.merge_maximization function, which handles client intentions to change maximization states.
The fix includes:
1. Fixing the `get_value` helper function to return the proper resulting state that client wanted to change.
For example, when `c.maximized and not c.maximized_horizontal and not c.maximized_vertical` holds,
the client would observe the `MAXIMIZED_VERT` and `MAXIMIZED_HORZ` atoms in X11, but get_value would compute
the result values based on `c.maximized_{horizontal,vertical}`, which are all false. The fix makes the computation
consistent to clients' view.
2. Interpret a client's maximization intentions based on the client's view of how the X11 atoms changes.
