`swaymsg -t get_inputs --raw` calls it a pointer but `--pretty` calls it
a Mouse. Previous commit 6737b90cb that set this to pointer probably
forgo to update the pretty one.
closes#8584
The JSON field is named "active", but that's confusing for users:
`output disable` is the command which results in `active = false`
outputs. Use the same terminology in end-user messages.
The fractional part of the real number we want to represent never has
more than 3 decimal digits, so use 3 decimal digits of precision.
e.g. 'swaymsg -t get_outputs' would show a refresh rate of 59934 mHz
as 59.933998 Hz, now correctly as 59.934 Hz.
This adds a tip to the command section about using two hyphens before a
command to signal that no swaymsg options will follow to allow for sway
commands with leading hyphens.
This adds a 3 second timeout to the initial reply in swaymsg. This
prevents swaymsg from hanging when `swaymsg -t get_{inputs,seats}` is
used in i3. The timeout is removed when waiting for a subscribed event
or monitoring for subscribed events.
This also adds type checks to commands where i3 does not reply with all
of the properties that sway does (such as `modes` in `get_outputs`).
This is mostly just a behavioral adjustment since swaymsg should run on
i3. When running under i3, some command reply's (such as the one for
`get_outputs) may have more useful information in the raw json than the
pretty printed version.
Use libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count to determine whether
a pointer is a touchpad.
swaymsg is also updated to reflect the new touchpad type.
Many laptop screens report unknown subpixel order. Allow users to manually set subpixel hinting to work around this.

This new option forces pretty (non-raw/non-JSON) output. By default, when
not using a tty, swaymsg outputs using the "raw" format. This makes it
impossible to, for example, pipe the pretty output to a pager such as
`less` since piping does not use a tty.
The new -p/--pretty option gives the user explicit control over the output
format while retaining the default tty-dependent behavior.
