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...
While this is a bit more memory intensive because it created the objects
per screen, it is more self contained. If the objective is to have well
defined sections that can be cut/pasted into new files, this change is
a net win.
This commit moves the previously hardcoded client button list
to the `awful.client` default button set. This will allow modules
to add their own buttons.
In later commit, those default buttons will also be added dynamically
to existing clients.
