Small dynamic tiling window manager for X11
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 3.6.0,
Package name: spectrwm-3.6.0,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersSpectrwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries
to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be
used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does
not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It
was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small,
compact and fast.
It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products
but suffer from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome,
silly defaults, asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?"
and good old NIH. Nevertheless dwm was a phenomenal resource and
many good ideas and code was borrowed from it. On the other hand
xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support but
is crippled by not being written in C.
Spectrwm is a beautiful pearl! For it too, was created by grinding
irritation. Nothing is a bigger waste of time than moving windows
around until they are the right size-ish or having just about any
relevant key combination being eaten for some task one never needs.
The path of agony is too long to quote and in classical OpenBSD
fashion (put up, or hack up) a brand new window manager was whooped
up to serve no other purpose than to obey its masters. It was
written by Marco Peereboom & Ryan Thomas McBride and it is released
under the ISC license.

wm/spectrwm: update to 3.5.0
spectrwm 3.5.0
==============
Released on Oct 22, 2023
Includes a bunch of major new features and improvements, such as dock/panel
support, an always mapped window mode, floating workspace layout, transparent
color support, tons of fixes, and more!
* Add *free* window mode.
- *free* windows are floating windows that are not in a workspace. They remain
mapped and may be resized, positioned and stacked anywhere. When iconified,
they appear at the end of the uniconify menu. Note that free windows can be
stacked above/below workspace windows but must be put into a workspace and
unfloated to be part of its tiling layout. `float_toggle` is convenient for
this purpose.
- Add `free_toggle` action (default: `M-S-grave`). Toggle focused window
between workspace mode and free mode.
- Add `focus_free` action (default: `M-grave`). Switch focus to/from windows
in free mode, if any.
- Add related color and focus mark options.
* Improve EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints) support.
- Add support for docks/panels and desktop managers.
- Add strut support for windows (e.g. panels) to automatically reserve screen
real estate.
- Add support for applications to initiate move/resize operations.
- Add *demands attention* support to urgency features to include windows that
request focus but are denied.
- Add support for *below* state to keep windows stacked below others.
- Improve _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW handling.
- Fix _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT should update on workspace and region changes.
* Improve window stacking.
- Overhaul window stacking for improved reliability and flexibility required
for new features/fixes. Windows are now stacked as a whole instead of per
region/workspace.
- Add `click_to_raise` option (default: `1` (enabled)). Raises stacking
priority when clicking on a window.
- Add `below_toggle` action (default: `M-S-t`). Toggles *below* state on a
focused window to keep it below other windows. `raise` can be used to
temporarily bring a window above all others.
- Fix `raise` and `always_raise` stacking issues.
- Fix follow mode stacking issues.
- Fix stacking order issues.
- Restore stacking order after leaving fullscreen/maximized state.
* Workaround application issues related to ICCCM 6.3 button grabs.
- If X Input Extension >= 2.1 is available, handle button bindings with the
`REPLAY` flag passively, without grabs. For other button bindings, establish
grabs on root.
- Otherwise, for compatibility, establish all button binding grabs directly on
client windows.
* Add alpha transparent color support for use with compositing managers. Colors
can now be specified with an alpha component via the format
`rbga:rr/gg/bb/aa` (values in hex.)
* Improve bar fonts.
- Fallback to a "fail-safe" font if the default/user `bar_font` \
fails to load.
- Add fallback handling for missing glyphs when using multiple fonts with Xft.
- Add supplementary private-use code points to `bar_font_pua`.
- Fix `$bar_font` program variable substitution should not include fallbacks.
* Improve window mapping.
- Add `maximize_hide_other` and `fullscreen_hide_other` options. When a
maximized/fullscreen window is focused, hide unrelated windows on the same
workspace. Useful for transparent windows.
- Fix window mapping issue when handling simultaneous screen changes.
- Improve reliability.
* Improve (re)start handling.
- Set intial focus more reliably.
- Focus on fullscreen/maximized windows before main.
- Restore window floating geometry on shutdown.
* Improve focus handling.
- Add `prior` setting to `focus_close`. When the focused window is closed,
fallback to the last focused window in the workspace.
- Add `focus_prior` action. Focus last focused window on workspace.
(Default binding: `M-S-a`.)
- Improve previous focus fallback.
- Fix iconified window focus issue.
- Fix input focus fallback.
- Fix setting focus with EWMH should unmaximize other windows.
- Fix move/resize operation should abort on focus loss.
- Fix `focus_main` issue with iconified/floating windows.
- Fix max layout focus issue when closing transients.
- Fix `warp_pointer` issues.
* Improve focus follow mode.
- Fix handling of ConfigureWindow and EWMH requests.
- Fix workspace switching issues.
* Improve status bar.
- Add character sequence for workspace list indicator (+L).
- Add workspace mark options for the workspace indicator (+L).
- Add stack mark options for the stacking indicator (+S).
- Add focus mark options for the focus status indicator (+F).
- Add character sequence for number of windows in workspace (+w) (lowercase).
- Add unfocused options to color bar text and background.
- Add color options for when a window in free mode is focused.
- Fix `bar_action` piping deadlock issue.
- Fix `name_workspace` should clear on empty string.
- Fix refresh bar on `name_workspace`.
- Set WM_CLASS, WM_NAME and _NET_WM_NAME on the bar window.
* Add `floating` workspace layout stacking mode.
- In floating layout, windows are not tiled and may be freely moved around
and resized.
- Add `stack_mark_floating` option for the stacking indicator
(default:` '[~]'`).
- Add `layout_floating` action (default: unbound). Directly switch to floating
layout.
- Add `floating` `stack_mode` to the `layout` option.
* Improve max layout.
- Allow windows to be unmaximized/floated in max layout.
- Add `max_layout_maximize` option to configure default maximized state.
- Allow floating windows to remain floating when dragged between regions into
a max layout workspace.
* Improve window handling.
- Add *snap* behavior when dragging tiled/maximized windows. Prevents
accidentally floating tiled windows.
- Add `snap_distance` option (default 25). Sets the pixel distance a
tiled/maximized window must be dragged (with the pointer) to make it
float and move freely. Set to 0 to unsnap/float immediately.
- Add `maximized_unfocus` and `fullscreen_unfocus` options. Configures
handling of maximized/fullscreen windows that lose focus.
- Add support for ICCCM `WM_CHANGE_STATE` ClientMessage. Enables applications
to iconify their own windows.
- Add support for window gravity. Improves floating window positioning by
applications.
- Disable border on maximized windows when `disable_border = always`.
- Add window titles to `search_win`.
- Fix maximize handling.
- Fix handling when a window is lost immediately after ReparentWindow.
- Fix Java workaround.
* Improve workspace handling.
- Add `workspace_autorotate` option. When switching workspaces between regions,
automatically "rotate" vertical/horizontal layouts based on RandR \
rotation
data.
- Add `prior_layout` action. Switch to the last used layout.
(Unbound by default.)
- Add optional rotation argument to `region` option.
- Fix ws cycle actions should skip visible workspaces.
- Add `cycle_visible` option to the man page and example conf.
* Improve debugging.
- Add `-d` command-line option to enable debug mode. Enables debug mode
actions and logging to *stderr* without the need to rebuild with
`-DSWM_DEBUG`.
- Add multi-line support to `debug_toggle` overlay (default: M-d).
- Add atom name cache to avoid redundant requests/syncs when printing output.
* Fix X connection error handling to exit on a failed connection.
* Fix build issues.
- Fix compile error when building against musl.
- Fix build with clang 16 on Linux.
* Improve OpenBSD `pledge(2)` support.
- Add "wpath" pledge for sparc64 support
- Simplify usage.
* Improve Linux Makefile.
* Improve manual and examples.
- Add details to `modkey` option in man page.
- Add stack modes and window states to man page.
- Fix incorrect key binding for `ws_6` in spectrwm_fr.conf.
- Fix man page `wmctrl(1)` examples.
