--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Rules for clients. -- -- This module applies @{rules} to clients during startup (via @{client.manage}, -- but its functions can be used for client matching in general. -- -- All existing `client` properties can be used in rules. It is also possible -- to add random properties that will be later accessible as `c.property_name` -- (where `c` is a valid client object) -- -- Syntax -- === -- You should fill this table with your rule and properties to apply. -- For example, if you want to set xterm maximized at startup, you can add: -- -- { rule = { class = "xterm" }, -- properties = { maximized_vertical = true, maximized_horizontal = true } } -- -- If you want to set mplayer floating at startup, you can add: -- -- { rule = { name = "MPlayer" }, -- properties = { floating = true } } -- -- If you want to put Firefox on a specific tag at startup, you can add: -- -- { rule = { instance = "firefox" }, -- properties = { tag = mytagobject } } -- -- Alternatively, you can specify the tag by name: -- -- { rule = { instance = "firefox" }, -- properties = { tag = "3" } } -- -- If you want to put Thunderbird on a specific screen at startup, use: -- -- { rule = { instance = "Thunderbird" }, -- properties = { screen = 1 } } -- -- Assuming that your X11 server supports the RandR extension, you can also specify -- the screen by name: -- -- { rule = { instance = "Thunderbird" }, -- properties = { screen = "VGA1" } } -- -- If you want to put Emacs on a specific tag at startup, and immediately switch -- to that tag you can add: -- -- { rule = { class = "Emacs" }, -- properties = { tag = mytagobject, switchtotag = true } } -- -- If you want to apply a custom callback to execute when a rule matched, -- for example to pause playing music from mpd when you start dosbox, you -- can add: -- -- { rule = { class = "dosbox" }, -- callback = function(c) -- awful.spawn('mpc pause') -- end } -- -- Note that all "rule" entries need to match. If any of the entry does not -- match, the rule won't be applied. -- -- If a client matches multiple rules, they are applied in the order they are -- put in this global rules table. If the value of a rule is a string, then the -- match function is used to determine if the client matches the rule. -- -- If the value of a property is a function, that function gets called and -- function's return value is used for the property. -- -- To match multiple clients to a rule one need to use slightly different -- syntax: -- -- { rule_any = { class = { "MPlayer", "Nitrogen" }, instance = { "xterm" } }, -- properties = { floating = true } } -- -- To match multiple clients with an exception one can couple `rules.except` or -- `rules.except_any` with the rules: -- -- { rule = { class = "Firefox" }, -- except = { instance = "Navigator" }, -- properties = {floating = true}, -- }, -- -- { rule_any = { class = { "Pidgin", "Xchat" } }, -- except_any = { role = { "conversation" } }, -- properties = { tag = "1" } -- } -- -- { rule = {}, -- except_any = { class = { "Firefox", "Vim" } }, -- properties = { floating = true } -- } -- -- Applicable client properties -- === -- -- The table below holds the list of default client properties along with -- some extra properties that are specific to the rules. Note that any property -- can be set in the rules and interpreted by user provided code. This table -- only represent those offered by default. -- --@DOC_rules_index_COMMON@ -- -- @author Julien Danjou <julien@danjou.info> -- @copyright 2009 Julien Danjou -- @module awful.rules --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Grab environment we need local client = client local awesome = awesome local screen = screen local table = table local type = type local ipairs = ipairs local pairs = pairs local atag = require("awful.tag") local gtable = require("gears.table") local a_place = require("awful.placement") local protected_call = require("gears.protected_call") local aspawn = require("awful.spawn") local gdebug = require("gears.debug") local gmatcher = require("gears.matcher") local unpack = unpack or table.unpack -- luacheck: globals unpack (compatibility with Lua 5.1) local rules = {} --- This is the global rules table. rules.rules = {} local crules = gmatcher() --- Check if a client matches a rule. -- @client c The client. -- @tab rule The rule to check. -- @treturn bool True if it matches, false otherwise. -- @staticfct awful.rules.match function rules.match(c, rule) return crules:_match(c, rule) end --- Check if a client matches any part of a rule. -- @client c The client. -- @tab rule The rule to check. -- @treturn bool True if at least one rule is matched, false otherwise. -- @staticfct awful.rules.match_any function rules.match_any(c, rule) return crules:_match_any(c, rule) end --- Does a given rule entry match a client? -- @client c The client. -- @tab entry Rule entry (with keys `rule`, `rule_any`, `except` and/or -- `except_any`). -- @treturn bool -- @staticfct awful.rules.matches function rules.matches(c, entry) return crules:matches_rule(c, entry) end --- Get list of matching rules for a client. -- @client c The client. -- @tab _rules The rules to check.

It -- allows to configure the client by providing properties that should be applied. -- By default, Awesome provides 2 sources: -- -- * `awful.rules`: A declarative matcher -- * `awful.spawn`: Launch clients with pre-defined properties -- -- It is possible to register new callbacks to modify the properties table -- before it is applied. Each provider is executed sequentially and modifies the -- same table. If the first provider set a property, then the second can -- override it, then the third, etc. Once the providers are exhausted, the -- properties are applied on the client. -- -- It is important to note that properties themselves have their own -- dependencies. For example, a `tag` property implies a `screen`. Therefor, if -- a `screen` is already specified, then it will be ignored when the rule is -- executed. Properties also have their own priorities. For example, the -- `titlebar` and `border_width` need to be applied before the `x` and `y` -- positions are set. Otherwise, it will be off or the client will shift -- upward everytime Awesome is restarted. A rule source *cannot* change this. -- It is up to the callback to be aware of the dependencies and avoid to -- introduce issues. For example, if the source wants to set a `screen`, it has -- to check if the `tag`, `tags` or `new_tag` are on that `screen` or remove -- those properties.
