It is nice to have finer granularity for device types to allow for
configurations such as using `naturalScroll` on touchpads, but not on
regular pointer devices such as mice.
The AutoPlace action will apply placement_find_best() to an active view,
moving it to a position on its output that will minimize overlap with
other views.
Support showing full application
identifier or the trimmed variant in window switcher OSD.
Regression notice: For anyone using ‘identifier’ in window-switcher field configuration, change it to ‘trimmed_identifier’.
...to address regression introduced by 57075ce and enables panel/desktop
clients which rely on window rules to remain in the same position when
the usable-area changes (normally because an exclusive layer-shell
clients is started/finished).
Also disallows interactive move/resize, for example by alt +
mouse-press.

It can be enabled with a config like
~/.config/labwc/rc.xml:
<keyboard layoutScope="window">
~/.config/labwc/environment:
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=de,us
XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
With a configuration like this each window should now remember
the active keyboard layout when switching between windows.
By default, the keyboard layout keeps being a global state.
This is a useful (if lesser-known) feature of at least a few popular X11
window managers, for example Openbox and XFWM4. Typically right-click on
the maximize button toggles horizontal maximize, while middle-click
toggles vertical maximize.
Support in labwc uses the same configuration syntax as Openbox, where the
Maximize/ToggleMaximize actions have an optional "direction" argument:
horizontal, vertical, or both (default). The default mouse bindings match
the XFWM4 defaults (not sure what Openbox has by default).
Most of the external protocols still assume "maximized" is a Boolean,
which is no longer true internally. For the sake of the outside world,
a view is only "maximized" if maximized in both directions.
Internally, I've taken the following approach:
- SSD code decorates the view as "maximized" (i.e. hiding borders) only
if maximized in both directions.
- Layout code (interactive move/resize, tiling, etc.) generally treats
the view as "maximized" (with the restrictions that entails) if
maximized in either direction. For example, moving a vertically-
maximized view first restores the natural geometry (this differs from
Openbox, which instead allows the view to move only horizontally.)
v2: use enum view_axis for view->maximized
v3:
- update docs
- allow resizing if partly maximized
- add TODOs & corrections noted by Consolatis
With the new keepBorder option enabled, the
ToggleDecorations action now has 3 states:
- the first time only disables the titlebar
- the second time disables the whole SSD
- the third time enables the whole SSD again
When the keepBorder action is disabled, the old 2-state
behavior is restored, e.g. the ToggleDecorations action
only toggles between on and off.
Fixes#813
...allowing a rule to be applied to only the first window matching a
particular criteria. For example, the following can be used to apply a
window rule to lxqt-panel but not its configuration window with the same
app_id:
<windowRules>
<windowRule identifier="lxqt-panel" matchOnce="true">
<skipTaskbar>yes</skipTaskbar>
<action name="MoveTo" x="0" y="0" />
<action name="ToggleAlwaysOnTop"/>
</windowRule>
</windowRules>
Make wrap 'true' by default for both GoToDesktop and SendToDesktop,
in order to default to the current behaviour, and to stay consistent
with Openbox behaviour.
Two types of window rules are supported, actions and properties. They are
defined as shown below.
<windowRules>
<!-- Action -->
<windowRule identifier="some-application">
<action name="Maximize"/>
</windowRule>
<!-- Property -->
<windowRule identifier="foo*" serverDecoration="yes|no"/>
</windowRules>
Rules are applied if windows match the criteria defined by the
'identifier' attribute which relates to app_id for native Wayland windows
and WM_CLASS for XWayland clients.
Matching against patterns with '*' (wildcard) and '?' (joker) is
supported.
Add 'serverDecoration' property.
... and use Title for the Drag (Move) and DoubleClick (Maximize)
titlebar actions, which are unexpected when the cursor is over one
of the window buttons.
Add the 'cycleViewPreview.core' option to rc.xml to enable previews of
the selected view when cycling between windows. Default this option to
be disabled to match current behavior.
