This caused a behavior change it wasn't clear how to use the
permission API to change the focus mode.
The change will only take effect if the user override the API
level.
Just like clients and other CAPI classes, it is now possible to
connect to all instance signals. There was already a couple of
`request::geometry`, but no way to forward them, so it was
de-facto broken.
The next commit will all class level signals. The current design
is used in widgets, but is a bad fit for wiboxes. They should
behave more like client. In v5, setting methods on `wibox` directly
will be deprecated. `wibox.object` is already supported. I don't
think anyone really do that anyway and isn't documented.
This commit mostly rewrite the client documentation and pay the
technical debt accumulated over the years. Most of the client
documentation was still one-liners from the luadoc era. It now
has all the new tags, type. It also has actual description of
what the properties do beyond the name.
From now on, all core object will have their own rules. `awful.rules`
hardcodes some client specific code. All `rules` module have some form
of class specific code. This code will now be part of a new module
called `ruled`. Since a year or so, a lot of work has been done to
refactor the rules on top of the shared `gears.matcher` class. This way
there wont be as much duplication.
This has to be in its own commit otherwise Travis will fail. This
is because it will keep the file in the build directory when
iterating all commits. Then `ldoc` will fail because the file doesn't
have documentation. If `config.ld` is updated first, then it will
fail because `ruled/init.lua` doesn't exist yet. When it is done
in a separate commit, then `config.ld` is already updated and comes
with `init.lua`.
Another pull request at some point will add proper API levels,
it will then become possible to fix these without breaking
the API for everybody. However right now there is no way around
the problems.
This also pulls in part of the permission framework to ensure
backward compatibility is kept.
`awful.autofocus` was always weird. It is a module part of `awful`,
but it was never part of `awful` `init.lua`. Rather, `rc.lua` was
the sole place it was used. It behave exactly like a request, but
predate them by years. As I cleanup the request:: API before the
permissions API gets formalized, this has to be fixed now.
It isn't deprecated in this commit because it makes too many tests
fail. Another pull request will solve that by adding the "API level"
concept to AwesomeWM so I can change the behavior without breaking
existing configs. With that, the behavior of `autofocus` will be
enabled by default with the permissions to disable it.
This will allow the default client layout list to be manipulated by
modules without the risk of overwriting each other.
The commit also add a new `--{{{ Tag --}}}` section to `rc.lua`. It will
be expanded once the tag rules get merged.
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`.
Commit f025409 avoided negative dimensions but
also stopped allowing width and height to be zero.
For widgets like awful.widget.watch it is reasonable
to allow dimensions to be zero because in many cases when
the margin container is being calculated the watch widget is
still computing and therefore has width and height zero.
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.
This hass the following tags:
* @interface
* @tparam
* @propbeautiful
* @propemits
* @renamedin
Beside tags, it adds some comments, fix formatting and add
new lines and dots where they belong.
Also add some signals to standardize everything.

* Add the ldoc stop marker `.` to each functions, properties and methods definition ;
* Improve a little summaries ;
* Improve properties vs access methods documentation ;
* Change all documented parameters and return values to typed values.
* Add a better descrition for the `imagebox` role in the wiboxes system ;
* Improve image + code render and integration into the descrition ;
* Add a second code exemple to show both coding style (imperative and declarative).
I think the user can now have a better overview of what's a `wibox.widget.imagebox` and how to use it.
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.

get_children's return value should not be called "The". That was a
mistake because ldoc requires a name for return values and parameters.
If a name isn't provided, it thinks the first word of the description
is the name.
* Add format docs to the constructor.
* Add timezone docs to the property.
* Give the argument to set_refresh a name other than "How".
* Fix bug in constructor argument "format" rendering.
Having the new object layout will be important soon when the
append/remove methods start to get added to the client and the
reborn `awful.keyboard` module.
