2021-01-02*: replace the "shelf" with "contexts"Vito Caputo
This is unfortunately a bit of a large commit, but it's at least pretty much all on-topic for the generalized "contexts" feature. Rather than waste time trying to split this further into smaller commits, I'm just landing it as-is, now that I've lived with the interaction model long enough to not completely hate it. I fully expect to revisit this in the future. One TODO item in particular I'd like to note is "sending" windows to contexts always creates a new virtual desktop for the sent window in the destination context. What should really happen is the destination context should be checked for an empty desktop, and a new desktop created only when there isn't an empty one to be reused for receiving the sent window. Note this only affects non-migrate sends, as migrates (modified by Shift) explicitly use the existing focused desktop at the destination context. See the README for more information on how contexts work and what's different about the interaction model. It's fairly minimal, most of what you already know how to do should keep working as-is. The only oddity would be Mos1-s no longer "shelves" windows, it's now a modifier to turn "migrates" into "sends", and by itself is a noop now. Colors used for contexts haven't been refined and are enumerated in src/context_colors.def.
2021-01-01*: return MRU object from _mru() funcsVito Caputo
minor ergonomic improvement; enables plain wrapping of creates or other relevant object pointers with _mru() calls without requiring an intermediate storage variable.
2020-12-23desktop: drop unused desktop namesVito Caputo
At some point I wanted to support naming virtual desktops, but that never materialized and I don't find myself wishing it was there.
2020-12-23*: introduce and use direction parameterVito Caputo
This adds a direction parameter to vwm_desktop_next{_mru}() and vwm_win_focus_next(), deprecating _prev() variants in favor of a vwm_direction_t parameter. XK_r has been wired up as a modifier for reversing the direction of actions like Mod1+Tab (window next MRU cycle) and Mod1+Space (desktop next MRU cycle). So now if you overshoot, simply hold the "r" key and repeat the operation to go back, much like how Shift is often used for reversing alt+tab in i.e. Windows.
2016-09-09*: refactor all the thingsVito Caputo
Long overdue house cleaning. The addition of compositing/monitoring overlays in vwm3 pushed vwm well past what is a reasonable size for a simple thousand line file. This is a first step towards restoring sanity in the code, but no behavioral differences are intended, this is mostly just shuffling around and organizing code. I expect some performance regressions initially, follow-on commits will make more improvements to that end as the dust settles.
