2023-03-12river: add rules systemIsaac Freund1-27/+67
This is a breaking change and replaces the previous csd-filter-add/remove and float-filter-add/remove commands. See the riverctl(1) man page for documentation on the new system.
2023-02-03docs: fix typos in riverctl man pageIsaac Freund1-6/+6
2023-01-06rivertile: fix code to disallow 0 main countIsaac Freund1-0/+1
Also document this limit
2023-01-02command/spawn-tagmask: apply globallyIsaac Freund1-5/+4
Currently the spawn-tagmask applies to the currently focused output. This however means that it is lost if the monitor is unplugged and makes it hard to set for all outputs. Change this to make the command apply to all outputs. This is a breaking change.
2022-12-28docs: improve keyboard layout documentationIsaac Freund2-23/+9
- Remove recommendation of XKB_* environment variables in river(1) as we now have a dedicated riverctl keyboard-layout command. - Give an example of how to use and switch between multiple layouts in the riverctl(1) man page.
2022-12-28command/keyboard-layout: use flags.zig, cleanupIsaac Freund1-4/+5
2022-12-28river: add keyboard-layout commandLeon Henrik Plickat1-0/+5
This allows switching river's keyboard layout at runtime.
2022-12-01Cursor: add on-focus-change optionshironeko1-1/+3
Warp the cursor to the center of the focused view if the cursor is not in the bounding box of that view already. This helps the user to keep track of their cursor when they mostly use the keyboard and the cursor becomes hidden most of the time, also helps trackpad/trackpoint users.
2022-11-25map-pointer: allow running arbitrary commandsAlexander Courtis1-3/+5
2022-11-13ext-session-lock: implement protocolIsaac Freund1-5/+5
2022-11-13input-inhibit: remove support for protocolIsaac Freund1-2/+2
The only valid use-case for this as far as I'm concerned is lockscreens, which will now be supported through ext-session-lock-v1.
2022-09-18river: refactor keyboard groups implementationIsaac Freund1-8/+12
This reduces the impact of keyboard groups on the Keyboard.zig implementation and otherwise improves consistency with patterns used elsewhere in rivers code. There are also two small changes to the riverctl interface: - keyboard-group-add-keyboard is renamed to keyboard-group-add - keyboard-group-remove is added to support removing keyboards from a group.

2022-07-02docs: better connect 'index' to -layout in riverctl(1)tiosgz1-3/+3
2022-06-03Cursor: revive 'always' focus-follows-cursor modeIsaac Freund1-2/+4
This was removed a while back because it was buggy and I didn't know of anyone using it. Since refactoring it is now trivial to implement and I know of at least one person using it, so I don't mind reviving it.
2022-04-27command/map: layout-pinned mappingsPeter Kaplan1-1/+7
e.g. `riverctl map -layout 0 normal Super Y spawn foot` When this mapping is checked against a pressed key, layout 0 will be used to translate the pressed key instead of the currently active layout. The number denotes to an index of the layouts set with `XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT`.
2022-04-14Cursor: Add a hide-cursor commandDuncan Overbruck1-0/+9
From the riverctl.1 man page: *hide-cursor* *timeout* _timeout_ Hide the cursor if it wasn't moved in the last _timeout_ milliseconds until it is moved again. The default value is 0, which disables automatically hiding the cursor. Show the cursor again on any movement. *hide-cursor* *when-typing* *enabled*|*disabled* Hide the cursor when pressing any non-modifier key. Show the cursor again on any movement.
2022-04-14input: add map-switch/unmap-switch commandsPeter Kaplan1-0/+21
This allows running a command on a laptop's lid being opened/closed or a tablet's button/switch being pressed/toggled.
2022-03-05docs: fix typo in river(1) man pageLeonardo Gibrowski Faé1-1/+1
2022-02-06command: allow targeting outputs by namepmkap1-5/+6
This extends focus-output and send-to-output to allow targeting outputs by name instead of relative position.
2022-02-05input: Improve input device name formatLeon Henrik Plickat1-0/+2
The name now includes the type, for the case of a physical device advertising more than one logical device.
2022-01-23docs: fix typo in river(1) man pageIsaac Freund1-1/+1
2022-01-17command/map: add Alt/Super as aliases for Mod1/Mod4Isaac Freund1-4/+7
I personally made the mistake of using Alt instead of Mod1 when messing with my config. This change makes things a bit more user friendly/intuitive.
2021-11-11docs: remove reference to /etc/river/initIsaac Freund1-1/+3
We used to look in /etc/river/init if no init at ~/.config/river/init or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/river/init was found but this feature was removed. It seems that we forgot to remove this mention of the old behavior however.
2021-11-01docs: update URLs for migration to riverwm github orgIsaac Freund3-6/+6
2021-11-01common: use -h instead of -helpIsaac Freund3-3/+3
This doesn't really matter that much as unrecognized options will still trigger a help message to be printed, but -h is much more standard so lets make the predictable choice here while sticking to only single '-' flags.
2021-11-01docs: assorted fixes/cleanupsIsaac Freund2-4/+4
2021-10-31docs: standardize on "layout generator"Isaac Freund2-4/+4
This is likely more clear than "layout client" to most users.
2021-10-04docs: change Enter to ReturnEuro201791-2/+2
xkbcommon uses `Return` to indicate this key, `Enter` isn't a valid keysym name. Co-authored-by: Euro <no>
2021-10-02doc: update my (Isaac's) email addressIsaac Freund3-3/+3
2021-09-14river: add send-to-previous-tags commandPeter Rice1-0/+4
2021-09-07river: Allow applying CSD based on window titlesBen Fiedler1-9/+9
This extends the `csd-filter-add` command to allow matching on window titles as well, using a `csd-filter-add kind pattern` syntax. The following kinds are supported: * `title`, which matches window titles * `app-id`, which matches app ids Only exact matches are considered. As an example following configuration applies client-side decorations to all windows with the title 'asdf with spaces'. riverctl csd-filter-add title 'asdf with spaces'
2021-09-06river: Allow floating based on window titlesBen Fiedler1-8/+8
This extends the `float-filter-add` command to allow matching on window titles as well, using a `float-filter-add kind pattern` syntax. The following kinds are supported: * `title`, which matches window titles * `app-id`, which matches app ids Only exact matches are considered. As an example following configuration floats all windows with the title 'asdf with spaces'. riverctl float-filter-add title 'asdf with spaces'
2021-08-19river: implement xdg-activation-v1novakane1-0/+3
- add a new "urgent" border color - add a new event to river-status-unstable-v1 Co-authored-by: Isaac Freund <ifreund@ifreund.xyz>
2021-08-18docs: default keyboard mapping mode is "normal"Keith Hubbard1-2/+2
2021-08-15command: support repeating keyboard mappingsKeith Hubbard1-1/+3
Repeating mappings are created using the -repeat option to the map command: % riverctl map normal $mod+Mod1 K -repeat move up 10 - repeating is only supported for key press (not -release) mappings - unlike -release, -repeat does not create distinct mappings: mapping a key with -repeat will replace an existing bare mapping and vice-versa Resolves #306
2021-07-29cursor: remove strict focus-follows-cursor modeIsaac Freund1-4/+2
This is pretty much unusable after recent improvements to the cursor code, and was totally broken causing a stack overflow as soon as the cursor was moved over any surface until the previous commit. Furthermore, none of the core contributors or people active on IRC seem to use it.
2021-07-27docs: fix typo in rivertile man pageRafael Escobar1-1/+1
2021-07-26config: change color format to 0xRRGGBBAAIsaac Freund1-3/+3
The current format of #RRGGBBAA is problematic as # starts a comment in POSIX compliant shells, requiring escaping/quoting and increasing complexity. This is a breaking change.
2021-07-26docs: Wayland should always be capitalizedIsaac Freund1-2/+2
This matches the style used on https://wayland.freedesktop.org/
2021-07-24river: simplify log levels exposed to the userIsaac Freund1-4/+4

2021-07-21river: make spawn command take only one argumentIsaac Freund1-5/+5
Currently the spawn command takes any number of arguments and naively joins them together with spaces before passing them as the single argument of `/bin/sh -c`. This however produces unexpected results as soon as shell quoting gets involved in the arguments passed to spawn. For example, running riverctl spawn foo "bar baz" will execute `/bin/sh -c "foo bar baz"`, unexpectedly splitting bar and baz into separate arguments. To avoid this confusion, make the spawn command take only a single argument, forcing the user to quote properly to spawn multi-argument commands.
2021-07-21rivertile: simplify commandsIsaac Freund1-20/+20
Instead of having separate commands for modifying/setting a value, use the presence of a +/- sign to indicate modification.
2021-07-20river-layout: update to v3Isaac Freund2-21/+28
- Remove advertise_view and advertise_done events. Using the information provided by these for any purpose would make the layout far less predictable. Futhermore, in the months this has been available for use, to my knowledge nobody has actually used it for anything useful. - Replace the set/mod layout value events with a single user_command event. This simplifies the protocol and is more flexible for clients. - Add a layout_name argument to the commit request. This name is an arbitrary, user-facing string that might, for example, be displayed by a status bar. This was present in early drafts of the protocol, but was removed in favor of river-options. Since river-options itself has since been removed and this feature is nice to have, re-add it. - Rename main factor to main ratio in rivertile. The "factor" name was just legacy from dwm, "ratio" is much more accurate.
2021-07-20river: remove opacity commandIsaac Freund1-20/+0
This code is complex and increases maintenance burden but doesn't add any functionality, only eye-candy. Futhermore, neither I nor any of the core contributors use it. There may be a place in river for such eye-candy down the line, in which case this code could be revived. Currently river is early enough in its development that our focus should be on core functionality instead.
2021-07-20docs: improve formatting consistencyIsaac Freund1-3/+3
2021-07-17river: remove system /etc dir from init search pathsIsaac Freund1-8/+6
A true "default" config doesn't make sense for river. Everyone who uses river seriously will customize their init script. Futhermore, the current behavior of embedding the install path of the default system config in the river binary is complex and prone to breaking.
