This patch is adding vim-like window marking, like in i3.
A window can be dynamically assigned a mark label.
Then a marked window can be pulled or jumped to.
Or the current focused window can be swapped with a marked window.
The mark label appears in the Window List in between the window
title and the workspace name.
Those new options in WindowMaker conf file are used to control
the actions: MarkSetKey, MarkUnsetKey, MarkBringKey, MarkJumpKey
and MarkSwapKey.
Those actions are set to None by default.
This patch is adding a new option ScreenshotFilenameTemplate for users
to change the default strftime format "screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_at_%H:%M:%S".
For example, Teams is not allowing the ':' char in the filename of file
to be shared so I always have to rename the file.
This patch extends the existing keybindings to support multiple keys and
add an optional "sticky chain" mode that lets a prefix remain active until users press
a cancel key so users can enter the continuation key without re-pressing the prefix.
The idea is to bring Emacs shortcuts keybinding to wmaker.
Normal (existing and enhanced) mode:
Prefix behaves like a one-shot release before the next key if any.
For example: Mod1+h -> hide the active application, that is still working as usual.
But if you want for example to have all your window management keys under the same leader key
you can now do something like that:
"Mod4+w h" which is pressing the Super key with w, releasing them and pressing h.
You can assign that key sequence to an action.
Sticky chain mode:
Pressing a configured prefix enters a short-lived sticky state.
Sticky state expires on timeout or when explicitly canceled (with KeychainCancelKey).
For example, you can define:
"Mod4+a x" -> run xterm
"Mod4+a b f" -> run firefox
"Mod4+a b c" -> run google chrome
In sticky mode, "Mod4+a x x b f", then KeychainCancelKey or KeychainTimeoutDelay, will launch 2 xterm and firefox.
New options for WindowMaker conf file:
KeychainTimeoutDelay: timeout in milliseconds (can be set to 0)
Default: 500
Example: KeychainTimeoutDelay = 500;
KeychainCancelKey: explicit keybinding used to cancel an active sticky chain.
If set to None the feature has no dedicated cancel key and the chain only ends by timeout
or naturally if the keybind pressed is not defined.
Default: None
Example: KeychainCancelKey = Escape;
With commit e45a3bc07d a behavior change
was introduced that may disrupt the workflow of a user who may
intentionally want to give focus to a window without bringing it to the
front. Using the scroll wheel is less intrusive compared to the left,
right, and especially the middle (in the case of a terminal) mouse
buttons.
This commit introduces the ability to change the behavior by enabling or
disabling the ability to focus a window with mouse wheel in the expert
panel.
This patch is adding a new ModifierKeyShortLabels option to the
WindowMaker file to let the user specify the modifier key labels
used in the shortcuts like those appearing in the root menu.
For example, to overwrite the default labels, a user can set
the new option value to:
ModifierKeyShortLabels = (
"\342\207\247",
"\342\214\203",
"\342\214\245",
"\342\207\255",
"\342\207\263",
"\342\214\230",
"\342\207\252",
"\342\227\206",
"\342\214\245"
);
Which is using the same symbols as defined in macos.
For example, instead of printing M4+, "\342\214\230"
will print the ⌘ (Command) symbol.
This patch is adding the app icon in between the flags icon and
the window name from the window list.
Feature request from https://github.com/window-maker/wmaker/issues/19

set to YES manually in the conf file or "Show app icons in window list."
enabled from WPrefs expert panel.
This patch is to fix an issue seen on FreeBSD 15 where
keybinding are mixed up at the cold start of wmaker.
It is mentioned at https://github.com/window-maker/wmaker/issues/43
Seems that issue is not happening on Linux.
A warm restart ("restart window maker") from the root menu
is getting rid of that issue temporarily.
To solve that issue, now wmaker is reloading the keyboard mapping
via the new wReadKeybindings function when a XkbNewKeyboardNotifyMask
event is received.
It means xkb, which is part of X11 core,
is now used by default and not conditionally with modelock.
I tried to delay reading the keybinding as late as possible but
it did not solve the issue as seems X is started with a improper
keyboard by default.
Here some debug trace when the bindings are loaded by wmaker on FreeBSD:

So basically the patch is adding a new expert option in WPrefs (disabled by
default) to allow the switch panel to cycle over all the windows from all
workspaces. I believe it's useful if you are using a lot of fullscreen apps
each on different workspaces.
Add mouse pointer position detection to trigger the corner actions.
Screen corners can be assigned an external command to be
executed when the mouse pointer is entering those areas.
In WPrefs, "Hot Corner Shortcut Preferences" can be used
for configuration or by manually adding a "HotCorners" key
and value to "YES" in the ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file.
Actions are specified by the "HotCornerActions" and are defined
as a four entries list ("top left action", "top right action",
"bottom left action", "bottom right action").
A screen corner area is a cube shape defined by the "HotCornerEdge"
which is a number of pixels from 2 (by default) to 10.
To lower the risk of triggering that feature accidentally a
"HotCornerDelay" key can be used which is the time before the action
is triggered while the pointer is in one of the screen corner.
Default value is 250 ms.
Hot Corners feature is disabled by default.
This patch adds a feature to take screenshots directly from Window Maker.
Having the feature embeded direclty inside Window Maker allows us to take
advantage of how Window Maker is managing and handling Windows.
Three new actions can be bound to a key shortcut from WPrefs.
The screenshot files are saved in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Screenshots/
dir, with a "screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_at_%H:%M:%S" format followed by the
extension. Preferably as a PNG or JPG file if available.
Meaning, to work Window Maker via WRaster needs to support
at least one of those format.
"Capture the entire screen" is quite standard, it takes a screenshot
of the whole screen area (even in multiheads env).
"Capture a portion of the screen" requires the user to draw a rectangle which
will be captured.
Those two first are quite straightforward, just taking a live picture of
the screen.
The last one is "Capture a window" which works in best effort mode,
it catures the focused window. As Window Maker by default is not using
any compositor (like for example Xcompmgr) it can only dump the content
displayed on the screen.
If a window is minimized or out of the screen, there is high chance the
image will be split or some area greyed in case other windows overlapped it.
Once implemented, this will keep the dock on the primary head (when
there are multiple heads) when YES. The default value is NO, the
current behavior, i.e., treat all monitors together as one large screen.
Common WindowMaker's rootmenu behavior if press right mouse button open menu and close only with same button.
It's uncomfortably, it patch allows close menu by left or right is clicked outside focus.
Changed func "static WMenu*configureMenu(WScreen *scr, WMPropList *definition)" to non-static forglobal use.
Added new OPTION_WMAKER for this Expert-option. Changed event.c: for correct work should use initialization
func configureMenu afterwMenuDestroy (this is a feature of the event implementation XEvent).
The current findBestIcon function usually selects an icon image
that almost completely fills up the (default) 64x64 pixels of an
icon. As Dan noted in the function, the icon images should use only
75% of the available space, which would result in room for the
miniwindow title and better overall aesthetics.
This feature option provides for enabling such an automatic "icon
shrinking" functionality.
Note: This commit only introduces the new option, not the actual
image shrinking.
Added new option to Window Maker for enabling alternative way for
half-maximized windows movement. Option can be found on Expert section
in WPrefs app.
Added new option to Window Maker preferences to enable half-maximized
windows movement on all available heads. Option can be found in WPrefs
app on Expert section.
This reverts the commits:
311ab6b08c ("Raise fullscreened window")
a504370f3b ("Remove WMFullscreenLevel")
Removing WMFullscreenLevel had the side effect that a dock or panel
having the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK type would stack on top of
fullscreen windows, obscuring part of them. This is unwanted. No
other window should cover a focused fullscreen window:.
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/ar01s09.html#STACKINGORDER
Simply raising the fullscreen window to the top of the stack of normal
windows is not sufficient if there are windows with higher stacking
levels present. The separate WMFullscreenLevel is needed.

As it is really unlikely that in normal use case someone would need this
feature, it is now conditional code, which is not enabled by default; the
configure scripts now propose a '--enable-wmreplace' option to enable the
corresponding code, as people making package for distributions may want to
enable the feature to provide users the ability to give a try of all the
window managers.

Use the same logic used by xfwm4, metacity et al to replace an existing
window manager on the screen and allow other window managers to replace
us, as defined by the ICCCM 2.0:
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/specs/ICCCM/icccm.html
Communication with the Window Manager by Means of Selections
By convention those window managers try to become the selection owner of
the WM_Sn atom where n is the screen number. If the atom is owned by
another window manager and the --replace argument was not given to wmaker
we fail to start. If the argument was given we try to become the new
owner and wait for the existing window manger to exit.
After a successful startup we watch for SelectionClear events on the
atom and initiate a shutdown if one arrives, as that implies that
another window manager was started with --replace.
As reported by Nerijus Baliunas and Paul Jakma, the GNOME application,
which use the GTK toolkit, are asking to have no window decoration. This
can be solved by editing the window's attributes in Window Maker, but this
can be tedious when there are many GNOME application used.
This patch adds a configuration option: Window Maker tries to detect for
GTK-based windows and in this case ignore the decoration hints that were
provided by the application.

As pointed by the new check script, the preference "show_clip_title" is
defined as a Boolean value in the preference loading function, which uses

This patch changes the type for the appropriate one to avoid possible
problems.

As found by Rodolfo García Peñas, this flag is never given a value; further
investigations in the history of the project show that this flag have never
been implemented because its action is totally redundant with the flag
"noupdate".
As the later flag's name is more clear about what the behaviour for the
user is, as opposed to what is being done under the hood, its name is kept
and the "nopolling" flag is removed.

The definition in the local header was not correct; it works because gcc is
tolerant to this kind of errors but other compilers are not. The
declaration was creating a local variable in each file that call header,
and because it is not static gcc's linker will merge them. Other compilers
will at best complain for duplicate symbol, and at worst silently duplicate
the variable so it will not work as expected.
The variable is now moved to the existing structure meant for global
variables, so now the code is really clear about using a global variable
instead of a static/local one.
Took opportunity to add some missing 'static' attributes to some variables.

This path is adding the functions and variables needed for workspace pager preferences.
An option to enable/disable the workspace pager, and one to set a default background image.
There was a probable bug when reading settings, because the function used
was 'getInt' which would try to store the result in a 'char'. As it would
be probably easier for user to have the value directly in pixels, the
storage is now done in an int so there won't be problem anymore.
Changed the behaviour of the constant APERCU_BORDER, which would be assumed
to be the size of the border in pixel, but in previous code it was actually
the sum of the two border (1 on each side). All maths have been changed to
have it as a single border width.
Took opportunity to group variable assignation for titleHeight and
shortenTitle in a single place, because it is not convenient to have them
spread around (one value in the beginning and others later in the code) and
using default values prevents some checks that modern compiler can do to
help produce safer code.

indentation using spaces and some using tabs, and a mixture of tabs and spaces
used to align comments at the ends of lines. As a result, patches that touched

This patch fixes this so that indentation uses tabs and all other alignment uses

Since the resolution of the Retina display tends to make everything small,
the default apercu preview size (twice the icon size) couldn't be used to
distinguish the window contents without tiring too much my eyes.
Therefore, let's make the apercu size a configurable option. You can set
it through the ApercuSize variable with
$ wdwrite WindowMaker ApercuSize 4
in multiples of the icon size (in this case the apercu size will be four
times the icon size).
The default size remains 2 (twice the icon size).
This patch is adding miniwindow apercu when the mouse
is over the miniwindows.
To enable it you have to run WPref, in Miscellaneous Ergonomic
Preferences, check miniwindow apercus.
Then, you will be able to see a screenshot of the app when the mouse
is over the miniwindow.
This patch is replacing XRandR naming to RandR,
