LGUG2Z f530318cee feat(wm): outputs unplugged and plugged back
KWin takes the windows of an output that goes to the outputs that are left and
puts them where it likes, so komorebi's tiles for them were on a screen that was
gone and the windows sat untiled where they landed. The monitor reconciliator
now deals with a change in the set of monitors: the table announces it as a
display connection change instead of a resize, and reconcile_display_change
reads the monitors again, keeps each one that went (workspaces, layouts,
paddings, offsets) in a cache, has the window manager move what was on it to the
monitors that are left, and removes it.

The move is WindowManager::evacuate_monitor, in the new reconcile module: each
container and floating window goes to the workspace of the same number on the
monitor that holds the middle of its window, or on the first monitor that is
left when it is on none, and the workspaces that changed are tiled. A stack goes
as one container, and a monocle and a maximized window come as ordinary
containers. A monitor that is plugged in takes what was cached under its serial
number id, less the windows that closed or that the window manager has elsewhere
by now, so it comes back with its settings and none of the windows it had. A
monitor komorebi never saw gets workspaces of its own, and when the compositor
reports no output at all nothing is done.

The workspace rules of a monitor that goes are dropped, and those of the
workspaces of one that comes back apply again. komorebi.json fills the cache as
well: a monitor that has the entry its display index preference names is kept
with it, and so is the entry of each preference whose monitor is not connected,
which that monitor takes when it is plugged in.

vm-hotplug now sends two windows to the other monitor with komorebic, disables
that output, enables it again and sends a window over once more.

# Architecture
komorebi is a tiling window manager. It decides where every window goes and asks a
compositor to put it there. Everything it needs from the compositor is behind one trait,
[`Backend`](../../komorebi/src/backend/mod.rs), so the window manager is written, and
tested, without one.
This page describes that trait, who implements and calls it, where each of its rules is
enforced, the model of the desktop the window manager tiles, the backend that reaches KWin,
how an event about a window becomes a tile, how workspaces are the compositor's desktops, how
a stack hides its windows, how the window manager follows a monitor that changes, how a message
on the daemon's socket is answered, how subscribers are notified of all three, what the orders a
message gives do, what a drag with the pointer does, how the compositor is asked to draw the
borders, how `komorebi.json` configures the daemon, and how the NixOS module runs the daemon. It
grows with the code: each part of the daemon that is added has its place here.
## Vocabulary
- **Window**: a top-level surface a client has asked the compositor for, named by the
compositor's `u32` id.
- **Monitor**: a connected output, with its bounds and its work area (its bounds minus
the panels).
- **Wallpaper**: the picture a monitor shows while one of its workspaces is in front, and the theme
made of it. A workspace's own wins over its monitor's.
- **Workspace**: the containers a monitor shows, in order, and the layout that tiles
them. A monitor has a ring of workspaces and shows one of them. Workspace `i` is the
compositor's desktop `i` on that monitor. A workspace can have a name, which the named
commands find it by.
- **Desktop**: one of KWin's virtual desktops. KWin shows the windows of one desktop on each
output and hides the others; with its per-output virtual desktops on, each output shows a
desktop of its own.
- **Container**: what a layout places. It gets one tile, and every window in it is put on
that tile.
- **Stack**: a container with more than one window. It has one tile, and the window in front
(the container's focused window) is in sight; the others are hidden.
- **Hidden window**: a window of a stack that is not in front, or of a container a monocle
leaves out, which komorebi has taken out of sight ([`Backend::hide`]) and recorded in
[`HIDDEN_WINDOWS`]. It is alive, not minimized, and on its workspace.
- **Parking desktop**: the virtual desktop, named `komorebi-park`, that the KWin backend hides
windows on. It is not a workspace.
- **Layout**: the arrangement (BSP, columns, rows, ...) that turns a work area and a
number of containers into one rectangle, a **tile**, for each container.
- **Monocle**: a workspace's one container that has the whole work area. It is held out of the
workspace's containers, so the layout gives no container a tile, and the windows of the
containers are hidden, until it is put back where it was ([`Workspace::monocle_container`]).
- **Layer**: which of a workspace's two kinds of windows the focus, move and resize commands
act on: its tiles (`Tiling`) or its floating windows (`Floating`) ([`WorkspaceLayer`]).
- **Maximized window**: a workspace's one window that the compositor has maximized. It is in no
container, so it has left the layout, until it is put back in a container of its own where it
was ([`Workspace::maximized_window`]).
- **Event**: what the compositor reports about a window: it was shown, destroyed, given
the focus, minimized or restored, dragged by the user, or put on another workspace's desktop;
and that a monitor shows another workspace ([`WindowManagerEvent`]). Two events come from
komorebi itself: a command asks it to manage the focused window, or to stop managing it.
- **Message**: what a client sends the daemon on its socket, a [`SocketMessage`]: an order
(focus a window, move it, change the layout, resize it, show a workspace, retile, stop) or a
question (the state, the monitors, one [`StateQuery`]).
- **Configuration**: `komorebi.json`, which the daemon reads when it starts and again when it
changes ([`StaticConfig`]). It lives in the **config home**, [`HOME_DIR`], unless `--config`
names another.
- **Rule**: a condition on a window's title, executable, class or path ([`MatchingRule`]), in
one of the process-wide lists that decide whether a window is managed (the ignore and the
manage rules) and whether it floats when it opens (the float rules).
- **Direction**: where an order goes from the focused container: a side of its tile
([`OperationDirection`]), or the next or the previous container of the workspace
([`CycleDirection`]).
- **State**: the window manager's monitors, workspaces, containers and windows, and its
settings, as the daemon answers a `State` message with them ([`State`]).
- **Subscriber**: a program that listens on a socket of its own in [`DATA_DIR`] and has
asked the daemon, by the name of that socket, to send it notifications.
- **Monitor notification**: what the KWin backend sends the monitor reconciliator when the
outputs change ([`MonitorNotification`]).
- **Notification**: what a subscriber is sent after each event, each message and each change
of the monitors the window manager handles: the event, the message or the change, and the
state after it ([`Notification`]).
- **Look**: how the compositor is asked to dress the windows, which it draws ([`Look`]):
a border, with its width, its corner radius and two colors, and the animation of windows going
to their places, with its duration and its easing curve.
- **Opacity**: how opaque a window is drawn, 0 to 255, a property of the window in the compositor,
which [`transparency_manager`] sets for the windows that do not have the focus.
- **Effect**: a plugin of the compositor that changes how windows are drawn. KDE Rounded Corners
is the effect that draws the border, and Geometry Change the one that animates windows.
- **Compositor**: the program that owns the screen and the windows. On KDE Plasma it is
KWin.
- **Backend**: the implementation of the [`Backend`](../../komorebi/src/backend/mod.rs)
trait that talks to a compositor.
- **Fake**: [`FakeBackend`](../../komorebi/src/backend/fake.rs), the in-memory backend
the tests use.
- **Bridge**: the script komorebi loads into KWin ([`bridge.js`]). It reports what KWin
tells it and carries out what the daemon asks.
- **Table**: the KWin backend's model of the desktop ([`Table`]), which the bridge's events
keep up to date and the queries are answered from.
- **Held call**: the `Poll` call the bridge always has open, which the daemon answers when it
has commands for the bridge, or after 10 seconds with none.
- **Module**: `services.komorebi`, the NixOS module ([`nixos-module.nix`]), which installs
komorebi and runs the daemon in every Plasma session as the systemd user unit
`komorebi.service`.
## Design
The window manager reads the desktop and changes it through [`Backend`] and through
nothing else. A real backend answers from a table that compositor events keep up to date,
and sends commands to the compositor. The fake answers from a table the test fills in, and
records the commands. The window manager cannot tell them apart, which is the point:
the same logic runs against both. The reasons are in
[DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md#why-is-everything-the-window-manager-needs-behind-one-trait).
## The model
The desktop, as the window manager sees it, is two lists and a pointer:
- **Windows**, each a [`WindowInfo`]: its id, process, title, `app_id`, executable, frame,
whether it is minimized, whether it is a normal application window (as opposed to a
dialog, a splash screen or a dock), and whether it is alive. A window that has been
destroyed stays in the table for a short time with `alive` false, so that the event that
mentions it can still be logged.
- **Monitors**, each a [`MonitorInfo`]: its id, name, an identity that survives a
hot-plug, its bounds and its work area.
- **The pointer**, a position if the compositor says where it is, and the **focus**, the id
of the window that has it.
A command is one of: move and resize a window, focus it, raise it, hide it or restore it,
minimize it or bring it back, maximize it or unmaximize it, close it, put the pointer in the
middle of a rectangle, make desktops for the workspaces, show a workspace on a monitor, and put
a window on a workspace. The workspace a window is on, and the one each monitor shows, are
queries.
The window manager tiles a tree of four levels, each level a [`Ring`]: a list with one
element focused, so that "the focused workspace" or "the focused container" means
the same thing at every level.
- A **monitor** ([`Monitor`]) is one of the backend's monitors: its bounds, its work area,
its padding, an optional work area offset, an optional window-based offset with the number of
windows up to which it applies, and its workspaces. It shows the focused one.
- A **workspace** ([`Workspace`]) has a layout, its padding, an optional work area offset of its
own, whether it takes the monitor's window-based offset, its containers, in order, its
monocle container and its maximized window, if it has them, and its floating windows, which
are in no container and which the layout does not tile, and which layer it is on.
- A **container** ([`Container`]) has its windows. A new window gets a container of its
own, unless the window container behavior says to put it in the focused one. With more than
one window it is a stack: the focused window is in front and the others are hidden. A
container can be locked, which keeps it at its index while others are inserted, removed or
swapped around it.
- A **window** ([`Window`]) is a `Copy` handle that carries only the compositor's id.
Everything else about the window, and every change to it, goes through the backend.
Tiling a workspace ([`Workspace::update`]) is a function of this tree and a work area. The
monitor gives its focused workspace the work area, the padding to fall back to, the offset
(its own, or else the window manager's) and its window-based offset ([`WorkspaceGlobals`]).
The workspace takes the offset (its own, or else the monitor's) off the work area, then the
window-based offset while it has no more containers than the monitor's limit, then its
padding; the layout gives one tile per container, in order, each shrunk by the container
padding, and every window of a container is asked to move onto its tile with `set_rect`. A
tile is clamped to the work area, so it cannot reach onto a neighboring monitor.
The [`WindowManager`] keeps the monitors, the windows the user minimized (they are in no
workspace until they are restored), and an index from each window it manages to the
monitor and workspace that have it. It is loaded from the backend at startup: every
monitor, focused on the workspace the compositor shows on it, and every open window that is
normal, alive, not minimized and not ignored by a rule, on the workspace whose desktop it is
on, of the monitor its middle is on. After that it changes only when an event comes in, and
each event ends with the workspace in front tiled again.
## The KWin backend
[`KWinBackend`] is the backend of a real Plasma session. KWin has no protocol that lets
another process read and set window geometry, so the backend is in two processes:
- **The bridge**, [`bridge.js`], a script KWin runs inside itself. It subscribes to KWin's
signals and sends each as a JSON `Event` call over the session bus, and it carries out the
commands it gets as the answer to its held `Poll` call. When it starts it sends a snapshot
of the desktop. It holds no window manager logic.
- **The daemon's side**, [`kwin`], owns `org.komorebi.Bridge` on the session bus, with one
object for `Event` and one for `Poll`. `Event` calls are handled one at a time, in the order
they arrive, and never wait. A `Poll` call is held until there are commands, so that the
bridge gets them as soon as they are queued, without a timer and without a call from the
daemon into KWin.
Every decision about what an event means is made in the daemon, by the table
([`kwin::state`]): an event goes in, the table is updated, and what follows comes out, a
window event for the window manager or the answer to a query. The table is pure (no D-Bus,
no threads), so the unit tests drive it with the JSON the bridge sends.
The bridge is JavaScript, which no Rust build compiles, and KWin loads the file as it is, so
it is checked without a build step. `tsc` checks it as strict TypeScript through its JSDoc
comments, which type every message, against [`kwin-api.d.ts`], the part of KWin's scripting
API the bridge uses. [`bridge.test.js`] runs it with `node --test` against a fake of that API.
The two sides share the messages of a session in [`fixtures`]: the bridge's tests check that
it sends exactly those events, and answer it with those commands, and the Rust tests feed
the events to the table and check that the backend sends those commands. A change to a
message on one side fails a test on the other.
The path of an event: a KWin signal, the bridge's handler, `Event(json)` on the session bus,
[`Table::handle`], a [`WindowManagerEvent`] on the channel of
[`window_manager_event_listener`], the thread that [`listen_for_events`] starts, and
[`WindowManager::process_event`]. The queries (`windows`, `window`, `foreground_window`,
`monitors`) are answered from the table. `cursor_pos` is the exception: only the bridge can
read the pointer, so it is asked through the held call, and given 250 ms to answer before
the table's last known position is returned.
A command goes the other way. The backend looks up the UUID KWin knows the window by,
queues a JSON command for the bridge, and returns. The held `Poll` call is answered with the
queue, as one batch: the daemon waits a millisecond after the first command for the rest, so
that a retile of every window of a workspace reaches KWin at once. The bridge carries the
commands out in order and reports the ones it could not carry out (a window that closed in
the meantime) as a `failed` event, which is logged. `set_rect` also records the frame it
asked for in the table, so that the window manager sees it straight away; the `geometry`
event that follows says what the client made of it. The pointer cannot be moved from a
script: when it follows the focus, the backend invokes KWin's "Move Mouse to Focus" shortcut,
which centers it on the window KWin has focused. When komorebi stops, the backend asks KWin to
unload the bridge.
KWin can restart under a running daemon, on the same session bus. The thread that serves
the connection watches the owner of `org.kde.KWin` on the bus. When KWin leaves it, the
bridge has gone with it and its windows too, and nothing will report them closing:
[`Table::compositor_lost`] marks every window closed and returns a `Destroy` for each, so the
window manager takes them out of its layout. When KWin is back, the daemon loads the bridge
into it again, the bridge sends a snapshot of the new KWin's desktop, and its events are
handled as before. The `Poll` call the old bridge held is still open in the daemon, since
zbus does not end a call when its caller leaves the bus: it is answered with nothing as soon
as it wakes, and the commands go to the new bridge's call.
[`connect`] makes the backend: it connects to the session bus, loads the bridge into KWin,
and returns once the snapshot has arrived, so that the window manager reads a full table when
it starts. [PLATFORM.md](PLATFORM.md) has the D-Bus names, the files and the environment
variables; [DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md#why-does-komorebi-run-a-script-inside-kwin) has the reasons.
## Workspaces
komorebi's workspaces are the compositor's virtual desktops: workspace `i` is desktop `i` on
every monitor, and each monitor shows one at a time. The compositor shows the windows of the
desktop in front, hides the others, and keeps which window of each desktop had the focus; the
window manager hides no window to leave a workspace. The reasons are in
[DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md#why-are-komorebis-workspaces-kwins-virtual-desktops).
Showing a workspace ([`Monitor::load_focused_workspace`]) is three steps. Every window of every
workspace of the monitor is put on the desktop of its workspace, unless it is already there.
The compositor is asked to show the workspace on the monitor ([`Backend::switch_workspace`]),
which leaves the other monitors as they are. The workspace's focused window is given the focus.
The order matters: a window that is focused while it is on another desktop takes the monitor
back to that desktop.
Desktops are global in KWin: every monitor has as many as the monitor with the most
workspaces, and each has one name. At startup, and when a workspace is asked for that has no
desktop, the backend creates the missing ones over KWin's `org.kde.KWin.VirtualDesktopManager`
interface, named "Workspace 1", "Workspace 2" and so on ([`WindowManager::sync_workspace_desktops`]).
Without KWin's per-output virtual desktops every output would show the same desktop, so
[`connect`] turns them on in the user's `kwinrc`, and [`Kwinrc`] keeps the user's value and
puts it back when komorebi stops, also after a crash.
Something else can switch a monitor to another desktop: a pager, a KWin shortcut, an
application that raises a window of another desktop, which KWin answers by showing that
desktop. KWin has one signal for it, which does not say which output, so the bridge sends the
desktop of every output after it, and once a second. The table compares it with what it had,
and a monitor that shows another desktop is a `WorkspaceChange` event: the window manager
focuses that workspace and tiles it ([`WindowManager::adopt_workspace_change`]), and asks the
compositor for nothing, since KWin has already shown the windows and chosen which to focus. A
window put on another desktop by something else (the window menu's "Move to Desktop") is a
`WorkspaceMove`: the window manager moves the window to that workspace. komorebi's own switch
and move come back from KWin as the same reports; the table records them when the command is
sent ([`Table::switch_commands`], [`Table::window_workspace_commands`]), so they raise nothing.
## Stacks
A container has one tile, so when it has more than one window the others have to be out of
sight, and out of the way of the pointer and the focus: the window manager hides them
([`Window::hide`]). Minimizing them would not do. KWin reports a minimize as the user's, and
the windows would be taken for ones the user does not want tiled. What komorebi uses is the one
thing KWin has that hides a window and leaves it alone: a virtual desktop nobody looks at, the
parking desktop. The reasons are in
[DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md#why-are-the-windows-behind-the-front-one-of-a-stack-moved-to-a-parking-desktop).
A container keeps its front window in sync with what is in sight ([`Container::add_window`],
[`Container::load_focused_window`]): the window that is added or focused is shown, and every
other one is hidden. Operations that change which window is in front, or which container a
window is in, end with that call: stacking and unstacking ([`Workspace::move_window_to_container`],
[`Workspace::new_container_for_focused_window`]), a window that closes
([`Workspace::remove_window`], which brings the next one forward and focuses it), a window that
is floated, a focus change to a window that is behind ([`Workspace::focus_container_by_window`]),
and cycling the stack or focusing a window of it by its index.
A monocle hides the other containers in the same way. Turning it on hides every window of each
of them ([`Container::hide`]), turning it off restores the window in front of each
([`Container::restore`]), and cycling it hides the container it gave up. While a monocle is on,
[`Workspace::restore`] restores its window and no other, and [`Workspace::hide`] hides it with
the rest.
[`Window::hide`] puts the window's id in [`HIDDEN_WINDOWS`] before it asks the backend, and
[`Window::restore`] takes it out, so that when the compositor reports something about the window
because of the hide the window manager knows who did it. A `Minimize` for a window in the set is
not the user's and changes nothing. On the way out, [`WindowManager::stop`] and the daemon's
`SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` handler restore every window in the set before the backend shuts down
([`WindowManager::restore_all_windows`]).
The KWin backend hides a window by putting it on the parking desktop. The table keeps for each
window whether it is parked and the desktop it came from ([`Table::hide_commands`],
[`Table::restore_commands`]): a hidden window is still on its workspace for every query
([`Table::window_workspace`]), a window put on another workspace while it is hidden is hidden
still and comes back there ([`Table::window_workspace_commands`]), and KWin's report that the
window moved to the parking desktop is not a `WorkspaceMove`. The parking desktop is made the
first time it is needed ([`NeedsPark`], `create_park_desktop` in [`kwin`]), by position, so
that it stays after the workspaces' desktops. The table checks that KWin still lists it before it
sends a window there, and asks for a new one when somebody removed it.
An application that raises a hidden window, or a click on it in the task manager, makes KWin
switch that monitor to the parking desktop. The table notices that a monitor shows it, sends the
monitor back to the desktop it showed before, and raises no `WorkspaceChange`; the window's own
`FocusChange` then brings it to the front of its stack.
KWin keeps its virtual desktops in `kwinrc` as soon as one is made, so a parking desktop that
komorebi does not remove stays for every later session. The backend removes it in `shutdown`,
after the restoring commands have reached the bridge. A daemon that was killed leaves it, with
windows on it: the first snapshot the next daemon gets lists a desktop with that name, which the
table treats as stale ([`Table::stale_park`]). It is never the parking desktop of the new run.
The snapshot sends the windows on it to the first workspace's desktop, and half a second later
the backend removes it (`sweep_stale_park`).
## Monitors that change
The outputs KWin has change under a running daemon: an output gets another resolution or
scale, or a panel changes the room the windows have on it. KWin has one signal for the outputs
(`workspace.screensChanged`) and none for the room a panel leaves, so the bridge sends every
output, with its geometry and work area, as a `screens` event when the signal comes, when a
dock window opens, closes or moves, and once a second, each time the outputs are not what it
last sent. The table compares them with the monitors it had ([`Table::handle`]), and a monitor
whose size or work area changed is a [`MonitorNotification::Resize`]. It is not a window
event, since it is about no window, and it goes to the monitor reconciliator
([`monitor_reconciliator`]), not to the window manager's channel of events.
The reconciliator is a thread with a channel of its own ([`listen_for_notifications`]). It takes
one notification at a time with the window manager locked, as the thread of events and the
thread of messages do, so the three never change the window manager at once. For a `Resize` it
reads the size and the work area of every monitor from the backend again
([`update_monitor_work_areas`]), tiles the workspace in front of the focused monitor in the area
it has now, and notifies the subscribers ([`NotificationEvent::Monitor`]). Another monitor's
windows keep their tiles until something tiles them again, such as `Retile`.
A monitor that is unplugged or plugged in changes the set of outputs, and the table announces
that as a [`MonitorNotification::DisplayConnectionChange`], by the ids of the monitors. KWin has
already taken the windows of the output that went to the outputs that are left, so komorebi's
tiles for them are on a screen that is gone and the windows sit untiled where they landed. The
reconciliator ([`reconcile_display_change`]) reads the monitors from the backend and compares
them with the window manager's by their serial number ids. For each monitor that went it keeps a
copy, with its workspaces and settings, in a cache that lives as long as the daemon
([`insert_in_monitor_cache`]), and has the window manager move what was on it to the monitors
that are left ([`WindowManager::evacuate_monitor`]). Each container and floating window goes to
the workspace of the same number on the monitor that now holds the middle of its window's frame,
or on the first monitor that is left when the window is on none; a stack goes as the container it
is, and a monocle and a maximized window come as ordinary containers. The monitor is then removed.
A monitor that is new to the window manager is added by [`load_monitor_information`], and when
the cache has a monitor with its serial number id, the new monitor takes the cached workspaces and
settings, less the windows that have closed or that the window manager has elsewhere now, and the
cache entry is used once. Every monitor then shows the workspace in front again. The
focused monitor and workspace are focused again, since adding a monitor can take the focus. When
KWin reports no output at all, nothing is done.
A monitor that goes takes its workspace rules (the entries of [`WORKSPACE_MATCHING_RULES`] that
name its index) out of the list, and those of the workspaces a cached monitor brings back are
added again. The configuration fills the cache as well: [`StaticConfig::postload`] and
[`StaticConfig::reload`] keep a copy of each monitor that has the entry its display index
preference names, and make a monitor from the entry of each preference whose monitor is not
connected, so that the monitor takes its entry when it is plugged in.
## The command socket
The daemon takes messages on a Unix socket, `komorebi.sock` in [`DATA_DIR`]
(`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/komorebi`, or the local data directory without a runtime directory).
[`WindowManager::new`] binds it, after it removes a socket file that a daemon that did not
stop cleanly left behind, and the window manager keeps the listener. The daemon connects to
KWin before it makes the window manager, so a komorebi that cannot connect, such as a second
one in the same session, whose bus refuses it `org.komorebi.Bridge`, exits before it touches
the socket of the one that is running.
[`listen_for_commands`] starts a thread that accepts connections, and reads each connection
on a separate thread ([`read_commands_uds`]). A connection carries one [`SocketMessage`]
per line, as JSON with the variant's name in `type` and its arguments in `content`:
`{"type":"Query","content":"FocusedWorkspaceIndex"}`. Each message is handled by
[`WindowManager::process_command`] with the window manager locked, so messages are handled
one at a time. A message that waited a second for the lock is logged and dropped.
A question is answered on the same connection: the [`State`] or the monitors as JSON, or
the answer to a [`StateQuery`] as one value in plain text. The answer has no framing; it
ends when the daemon closes the connection, which it does once it has read the last line.
A client therefore shuts down its side for writing after its message, and reads until the
end ([`send_query`]). An order is answered with nothing, and a client that sends only
orders can close the connection as soon as it has written them ([`send_message`],
[`send_batch`]).
A message that fails (a query about the focused container when the workspace has none) is
logged, and the lines after it on that connection are not read. The client sees the
connection close with no answer.
`Stop` ends the daemon: [`WindowManager::stop`] removes the socket, lets the backend give up
what it set up in the compositor (the KWin backend unloads the bridge), and exits with
status 0. `SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` do the same from `main.rs`, with the exit status 130.
## Notifications
A subscriber binds a socket in [`DATA_DIR`] and sends `AddSubscriberSocket` with its name,
or `AddSubscriberSocketWithOptions` with its name and [`SubscribeOptions`]
([`subscribe`], [`subscribe_with_options`], `komorebic subscribe-socket`).
[`WindowManager::process_command`] records it in [`SUBSCRIPTION_SOCKETS`], and its options in
[`SUBSCRIPTION_SOCKET_OPTIONS`]. `RemoveSubscriberSocket` takes it out again. The
subscribers are kept in memory only, and a daemon that restarts has none.
At the end of [`WindowManager::process_event`] and of [`WindowManager::process_command`], and
after the monitor reconciliator has handled a notification, the window manager calls
[`notify_subscribers`] with a [`Notification`]: the event, the message or the change of the
monitors ([`NotificationEvent`]), and the [`State`] after it. A [`State`] made before the event
or the message is compared with the window manager after it ([`State::has_been_modified`]);
the monitors are compared down to the windows, and a window by its id only. An event about a
window komorebi does not manage, and a message that fails, return before this and are not
notified.
[`notify_subscribers`] serializes the notification once, and for each subscriber connects to
its socket, writes the JSON and closes the connection, all on the thread that handled the
event or the message, with the window manager still locked. A subscriber with
`filter_state_changes` is skipped when the state did not change, unless the notification is
about a window being shown, a subscriber being added, a change of the monitors, a theme being
set (the colors of the borders are not part of the state) or the configuration being reloaded.
A subscriber that cannot be connected to is removed, with its socket file, after the loop.
Writing to a subscriber that was connected to has no timeout, and a failed write returns an
error from the call that handled the event or the message. A subscriber that stops reading
therefore holds the window manager, and with it the thread that handles events: the backend's
events wait in the channel of [`window_manager_event_listener`], and past 20 the backend drops
them.
When the daemon stops ([`WindowManager::stop`], or `SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` in `main.rs`), it
connects to each subscriber and shuts the connection down without writing anything.
## Commands
A message that gives an order is a call to a method of the [`WindowManager`] from
[`WindowManager::process_command`]. An order that goes somewhere takes one of two kinds of
direction, both from `komorebi-layouts`:
- An [`OperationDirection`] (left, right, up, down) is a side of the focused container's tile.
The workspace asks its layout which container is on that side
([`Workspace::new_idx_for_direction`]). A layout answers from the index of the focused
container and the number of containers, not from where the windows are.
- A [`CycleDirection`] (next, previous) follows the order of the workspace's containers, and
wraps around at both ends ([`Workspace::new_idx_for_cycle_direction`]).
`FocusWindow` and `CycleFocusWindow` focus another container of the focused workspace and give
its window the focus with the backend's `focus` ([`WindowManager::focus_container_in_direction`],
[`WindowManager::focus_container_in_cycle_direction`]). They retile nothing. When there is no
container in that direction, the focus goes to the monitor in that direction
([`WindowManager::monitor_idx_in_direction`], from the bounds of the monitors), to its container
nearest the monitor the focus came from (the leftmost one going right); with no monitor there
either, the message fails and changes nothing. Whether the pointer follows
the focus is [`WindowManager::mouse_follows_focus`], which `MouseFollowsFocus` and
`ToggleMouseFollowsFocus` set.
`MoveWindow` and `CycleMoveWindow` swap the focused container with the container in that
direction ([`WindowManager::move_container_in_direction`],
[`WindowManager::move_container_in_cycle_direction`]), and tile the workspace again: the window
that moved takes the other's tile, keeps the focus, and the pointer follows it. The swap goes
through `LockableSequence`, so a lock stays with its index: the container swapped onto a locked
index is locked in its place. When there is no container in that direction, the container goes
to the monitor in that direction ([`WindowManager::move_container_to_monitor`]), and
[`WindowManager::cross_monitor_move_behaviour`] says what it does there: by default (`Swap`) the
container at that edge of the other monitor comes back in its place, `Insert` puts it in among
the containers there, and `NoOp` keeps it where it is. With no monitor in that direction, the
message fails and nothing moves. [`WindowManager::cross_boundary_behaviour`] can make both cross
to the next workspace of the same monitor instead.
`ChangeLayout` and `CycleLayout` set the focused workspace's [`Layout`], and `FlipLayout`
mirrors it along an axis, on top of the flip it has ([`Workspace::layout_flip`]); each tiles
the workspace again ([`WindowManager::change_workspace_layout_default`],
[`WindowManager::cycle_layout`], [`WindowManager::flip_layout`]). A flip mirrors the tiles,
not the order of the containers, and a direction is flipped with them, so `focus left` on a
flipped layout goes to the tile on the left. `ToggleTiling` turns the workspace's tiling off
and on ([`Workspace::tile`]): with it off, [`Workspace::update`] moves no window, the workspace
still takes the windows that open into containers, and they are tiled when it is turned on.
`LayoutRatios` and `ScrollingLayoutColumns` set the focused workspace's [`LayoutOptions`]
([`Workspace::layout_options`]): the share of the work area its first columns and rows take, and
the number of columns of the scrolling layout in view. The layout calculates the tiles from
them, and from the tiles it calculated last ([`Workspace::latest_layout`]), which the scrolling
layout scrolls from.
The scrolling layout is a strip of columns that runs past the edges of the work area. Its tiles
are the only ones [`Workspace::update`] does not clamp to the work area, so the windows of the
columns out of view are off the screen; a window whose tile is out of view while part of it is
in view is centered in the work area first. A `FocusChange` tiles a scrolling workspace after the
focused container has changed, which scrolls the strip to it. KWin keeps part of a window it
resizes on an output, so the bridge asks again for the position of a window KWin pulled back
within a second of the command, three times at most ([`bridge.js`]'s `settle`), unless the window
is maximized meanwhile.
`Promote` moves the focused container to index 0, the largest tile of every layout but the grid,
through `LockableSequence`, so the containers before it move one index on
([`WindowManager::promote_container_to_front`]). `PromoteSwap` swaps it with the container at
index 0 and records the index it came from in [`Workspace::promotion_swap_container_idx`], so
that from index 0 it swaps back ([`WindowManager::promote_container_swap`]). `PromoteFocus`
focuses the container at index 0 ([`WindowManager::promote_focus_to_front`]), and
`PromoteWindow` focuses the container in a direction and promotes it. On the grid layout they
change nothing.
`ToggleFloat` takes the window the compositor has focused out of its container into the
workspace's floating windows, and back into a container of its own at the focused index
([`WindowManager::toggle_float`]). A floating window is in the index of managed windows like
any other, so its events find it, and [`Workspace::update`] leaves it where it is. Where a
floated window goes is [`WindowManagementBehaviour::toggle_float_placement`]: by default it
stays where it is.
`StackWindow` puts the focused window and the window of the container in a direction in one
container ([`WindowManager::add_window_to_container`]): the focused window goes to the front of
that container, or, when the focused container is a stack and the other is not, the other
container's window goes into the stack. `UnstackWindow` takes the front window out of a stack
into a container of its own after it ([`WindowManager::remove_window_from_container`]), `StackAll`
puts every window of the workspace in one container ([`WindowManager::stack_all`]), and
`UnstackAll` takes them out again ([`WindowManager::unstack_all`]). Each ends with the workspace
tiled again, and the window that was in front has the focus.
`CycleStack` brings the next or the previous window of the focused container to the front, which
wraps around ([`WindowManager::cycle_container_window_in_direction`]), and `FocusStackWindow` the
window at an index ([`WindowManager::focus_container_window`]). Both show that window, hide the
one that was in front ([`Container::load_focused_window`]) and give the window the focus.
`FocusStackWindow` first focuses the monitor the pointer is on, so that a program such as a bar
that runs it for a click on its own monitor acts there. `CycleStackIndex` swaps the front window
with the next or the previous one in the container's order, and keeps it in front
([`WindowManager::cycle_container_window_index_in_direction`]): only the order of the stack
changes. A container of one window cannot be cycled, and an index it does not have cannot be
focused.
A window that opens gets the behavior [`WindowManager::window_management_behaviour`] says for
its workspace: a container of its own (`Create`, the default), or a place in the focused
container (`Append`), and a floating window with the float override on. A workspace's own
[`Workspace::window_container_behaviour`] and [`Workspace::float_override`] win over the window
manager's, and `Append` on an empty workspace is `Create`. `ToggleWindowContainerBehaviour` and
`ToggleFloatOverride` flip the window manager's, and `ToggleWorkspaceWindowContainerBehaviour` and
`ToggleWorkspaceFloatOverride` the focused workspace's, which starts from the opposite of the
window manager's value the first time.
`ToggleMonocle` takes the focused container out of the workspace's containers and makes it the
monocle container, which [`Workspace::update`] puts on the whole work area, less the padding, and
hides the windows of the other containers; turned off, their windows are restored and the
container is put back at the index it came from ([`WindowManager::toggle_monocle`],
[`Workspace::new_monocle_container`], [`Workspace::reintegrate_monocle_container`]). The container's resize adjustment is kept
meanwhile, and so is the whole of [`Workspace::resize_dimensions`], so that the tiles come back
as they were resized. While there is a monocle container, the window in front of it is the one
that has the focus: a `FocusChange` to another window gives the focus back to it, and
[`WindowManager::update_focused_workspace`] focuses it, not the focused container's window, which
is one of the tiles behind. `MoveWindow` and `CycleMoveWindow` are refused, and `ToggleFloat` is
ignored, for the focused container is not the window in front. What `FocusWindow` does is
[`WindowManager::monocle_focus_behaviour`]: with `Cycle`, it makes the next or the previous
container the monocle ([`WindowManager::cycle_monocle`]); with `NoOp`, the default, there is no
container on any side, so the focus goes to the monitor on that side, and it fails where there
is none. `CycleFocusWindow` always carries the monocle to the next or the previous container.
`MonocleFocusBehaviour` sets the behavior, and `ToggleMonocleFocusBehaviour` switches it. A focus
that crosses to a monitor whose workspace has a monocle container gives the focus to its window,
and a container moved to a workspace with one turns that monocle off first.
`ToggleMaximize` takes the focused window out of its container, and the container with it when
it was the last window in it, remembers the index, and asks the backend to maximize it: KWin's
own maximize, to the work area with the panels left alone ([`WindowManager::toggle_maximize`],
[`Workspace::new_maximized_window`]). From then on the workspace has a maximized window, in no
container, and [`Workspace::update`] asks the backend to maximize it again and moves nothing
else, so the containers stay where they were behind it. Toggled again, the window is restored
(the backend gives it back the frame it had), put in a container of its own at the index it came
from, and the workspace is tiled again ([`Workspace::reintegrate_maximized_window`]). A window in
monocle that is maximized leaves the monocle. While a window is maximized, the messages that are
about the tiles are dropped before they are handled: `MoveWindow`, `CycleMoveWindow`, the stack
messages, the resize, promote and preselect messages, `ToggleLock`, `ToggleFloat`,
`ToggleMonocle`, and the messages that send a container to another monitor or workspace
(`is_layout_command` in [`process_command`](../../komorebi/src/process_command.rs)). A window that
closes while it is maximized leaves the workspace like any other. `FocusWindow` finds no
container on any side of the maximized window, so the focus goes to the monitor on that side and
fails where there is none, and a maximized window, or a monocle, on the workspace it reaches is
given the focus whole. `CycleFocusWindow` is not dropped: it gives the focus to the next
container's window (the code has a TODO for what it should do). A maximized window is hidden
with the rest of its workspace, and restored and focused ahead of the containers' windows when
the workspace is shown again ([`Workspace::hide`], [`Workspace::restore`]).
A workspace is on one of two layers ([`Workspace::layer`]), and the focus, move and resize
messages go to the windows of that layer. `ToggleFloat` puts the workspace on the floating layer,
and putting the window back, or a `FocusChange` to a window that is not floating, a new tiled
window or a focus message that reaches a container, puts it on the tiling layer, which is where
a workspace starts; a `FocusChange` to a floating window, and a window that a float rule floats
when it opens, put it on the floating layer. `ToggleWorkspaceLayer` switches it by hand and raises
the windows of the layer it goes to, the focused one last, and gives the focus to one of them.
On the floating layer `FocusWindow` gives the focus to the nearest floating window on that side
of the focused one, by where the compositor has them, and where there is none the focus crosses
as it does for tiles, to the monitor on that side, and fails where there is none
([`WindowManager::focus_floating_window_in_direction`]); `CycleFocusWindow` goes round the
floating windows in the order they were floated
([`WindowManager::focus_floating_window_in_cycle_direction`]); `MoveWindow` moves the focused
floating window by [`WindowManager::resize_delta`], not out of the work area of the monitor
([`WindowManager::move_floating_window_in_direction`]); the resize messages change its frame,
and nothing is tiled ([`WindowManager::resize_window`]); and `PreselectDirection` does nothing.
`ToggleMaximize` maximizes the focused floating window there, which then leaves the floating
windows. `ToggleWorkspaceLayer` hides the floating windows when it goes to the tiling layer, and
shows them when it goes to the floating layer. A window that opens while the workspace is on its floating layer floats
(`floating_layer_override`) when the floating layer behaviour says to float: the workspace's own
([`Workspace::floating_layer_behaviour`]), else its monitor's, else the window manager's
([`WindowManager::window_management_behaviour`]). All three tile by default, and nothing sets
the first two until the configuration does.
`ToggleLock` locks the focused container, or unlocks it ([`WindowManager::toggle_lock`]), and
`LockMonitorWorkspaceContainer` and `UnlockMonitorWorkspaceContainer` do the same for a
container given by its indices. A lock changes nothing until containers are inserted, removed or
swapped around it, which the workspace does through `LockableSequence`.
`Minimize` and `Close` ask the backend to minimize or close the window the compositor has
focused, and change nothing else: the window leaves the layout when the compositor reports it,
through the `Minimize` and `Destroy` events. `UnmanageFocusedWindow` and `ManageFocusedWindow`
do not change the model either: they raise an `Unmanage` or a `Manage` event for the focused
window on the channel the backend's events go through
([`WindowManager::unmanage_focused_window`], [`WindowManager::manage_focused_window`]), and
the window manager handles them in order with the compositor's. An `Unmanage` is handled like a
`Destroy` of a window that stays open: the window leaves its workspace, is centered in the work
area, and its id goes into a list of unmanaged windows that `handle_event` checks before it acts
on any other event about a window; a `Manage` takes the id out of the list and is handled like a
`Show`. A `Destroy` takes the id out of the list too.
Whether a window is managed is [`Window::should_manage`]: the window has to be alive and normal,
and then the rules decide ([`should_act`]). An ignore rule that matches keeps the window out
unless a manage rule matches it too. The float rules do not decide whether a window is managed,
but a `Show` puts a window one matches in the workspace's floating windows instead of a container
(a `Manage` does not ask them). The rules live in process-wide lists in `lib.rs`:
`IgnoreRule` and `ManageRule` add a rule that names an application by one of the four
([`ApplicationIdentifier`]), and take the windows that it names exactly out of the containers of
the workspaces in front; `SessionFloatRule` adds a float rule made of the focused window's
executable, title and class, all three to be equal, and floats it, and `ClearSessionFloatRules`
takes those rules out again. `GlobalState` answers with the ignore and the manage rules
([`GlobalState`]), and `DebugWindow` with what [`Window::should_manage`] read of a window and
which rules matched ([`RuleDebug`]). A rule decides when a window is shown; the bridge reports
a title change (`caption`), which is a `TitleUpdate` event, and a `TitleUpdate` about a window
the index does not have, and that is not minimized, is sent again as a `Show`, so that a rule
about the title it has now decides.
`TogglePause` sets [`WindowManager::is_paused`]: while it is set, `handle_event` returns at once
for every event, and [`read_commands_uds`] hands only `TogglePause`, `State`, `GlobalState` and
`Stop` to the window manager. `UnmanagedWindowOperationBehaviour` sets
[`WindowManager::unmanaged_window_operation_behaviour`]: with `NoOp`,
[`WindowManager::process_command`] refuses every message while the window the compositor has
focused is in no container of the focused workspace
([`WindowManager::handle_unmanaged_window_behaviour`]).
`WorkspacePadding`, `ContainerPadding` and their `FocusedWorkspace` forms set a workspace's own
padding, and `NamedWorkspacePadding` and `NamedWorkspaceContainerPadding` do the same for the
workspace with a name, which they look up like `NamedWorkspaceLayout` does
([`WindowManager::monitor_workspace_index_by_name`]). `AdjustWorkspacePadding` and
`AdjustContainerPadding` change the focused workspace's by a number of pixels, which needs a padding
of its own to change ([`WindowManager::adjust_workspace_padding`]). `WorkAreaOffset`,
`MonitorWorkAreaOffset` and `WorkspaceWorkAreaOffset` set the offset of the window manager, of a
monitor or of a workspace, and `ToggleWindowBasedWorkAreaOffset` sets whether the focused workspace
takes its monitor's window-based offset ([`Workspace::apply_window_based_work_area_offset`]). Each
tiles the workspace in front again, or every monitor.
`ResizeWindowEdge` and `ResizeWindowAxis` resize the focused container
([`WindowManager::resize_window`]). A resize is an adjustment of the container's tile, kept in
[`Workspace::resize_dimensions`], one per container, which the layout applies when it calculates
the tiles; before every tiling, the workspace clears the parts of each adjustment that its layout
cannot apply, such as the top and the bottom of a column. The adjustment is the one
`komorebi-layouts` gives for the edge and [`WindowManager::resize_delta`], cut down until no tile
would be smaller than a tenth of the work area, or than it is already. The adjustments are kept
until a `Retile`, which drops them; `RetileWithResizeDimensions` tiles with them, and `Save`,
`Load`, `QuickSave` and `QuickLoad` write them to a file as JSON and read them back.
`FocusWorkspaceNumber` shows another workspace of the focused monitor
([`WindowManager::focus_workspace`]). `MoveContainerToWorkspaceNumber` takes the focused
container (or the focused window, when it is a floating one) to the back of another workspace
of the monitor and shows that workspace, and `SendContainerToWorkspaceNumber` does the same
and leaves the workspace in front showing ([`WindowManager::move_container_to_workspace`]). A
workspace that does not exist yet is created, with the ones before it, and gets a desktop.
The other workspace commands are made of the same two operations. `CycleFocusWorkspace`,
`CycleMoveContainerToWorkspace` and `CycleSendContainerToWorkspace` take the next or the previous
workspace, which wraps around, and `CycleFocusEmptyWorkspace` the next or the previous with no
window. A monitor remembers the workspace that was in front before ([`Monitor::focus_workspace`]
records it), which `FocusLastWorkspace`, `MoveContainerToLastWorkspace` and
`SendContainerToLastWorkspace` take. `FocusWorkspaceNumbers` shows a workspace on every monitor.
`WorkspaceName` names a workspace, `EnsureNamedWorkspaces` gives a monitor named workspaces, and
`FocusNamedWorkspace`, `NamedWorkspaceLayout` and `NamedWorkspaceTiling` look a workspace up by
its name on every monitor ([`WindowManager::monitor_workspace_index_by_name`]); a name no
workspace has changes nothing. `FocusNamedWorkspace` focuses the monitor that has the workspace
([`WindowManager::focus_monitor`]). `WorkspaceLayout` and `WorkspaceTiling` set the layout and the
tiling of a workspace by index. `NewWorkspace` adds a workspace and shows it, `EnsureWorkspaces`
gives a monitor workspaces up to a number, and `CloseWorkspace` removes the workspace in front
when it has no window and no name and is not the monitor's last. A name is komorebi's: the
compositor's desktops keep theirs.
A window the compositor reports shown or focused on a monitor that is not the focused one
focuses that monitor ([`WindowManager::monitor_idx_from_window`]). The monitor commands work on
the ring of monitors: `FocusMonitorNumber`, `CycleFocusMonitor` and `FocusMonitorAtCursor` focus
one ([`WindowManager::focus_monitor`]), and `FocusMonitorWorkspaceNumber` a workspace of it;
`MoveContainerToMonitorNumber`, `SendContainerToMonitorNumber`, their cycle and monitor-workspace
forms, and `MoveContainerToNamedWorkspace` and `SendContainerToNamedWorkspace` take the focused
container to another monitor, put its windows on the desktop of the workspace they go to, and tile
both monitors ([`WindowManager::move_container_to_monitor`]); `MoveWorkspaceToMonitorNumber` and
`CycleMoveWorkspaceToMonitor` take the workspace in front to another monitor, and
`SwapWorkspacesToMonitorNumber` exchanges the workspaces of two monitors.
`DisplayIndexPreference` gives a monitor, by its serial number id, the index the window manager
puts it at when it loads the monitors, with placeholders before it while the monitors in between
are not connected. `EagerFocus` focuses the first window of an executable, searching every
workspace of every monitor, and shows its workspace.
`PreselectDirection` reserves the index on one side of the focused container for the next
window ([`WindowManager::preselect_container_in_direction`]). The workspace inserts an empty
container there ([`Container::preselect`]), which [`Workspace::update`] keeps and the layout
gives a tile, and [`Workspace::new_container_for_window`] puts the next window in it.
`CancelPreselect` removes it. A workspace reserves one place at a time, and the grid layout
none.
## Dragging
The user can move a window with the pointer, and resize it by dragging an edge. KWin reports the
start and the end of a drag (`interactiveMoveResizeStarted` and `interactiveMoveResizeFinished`),
the bridge sends both with the window's frame, and the end with where the pointer is, and the
table turns a move into a `MoveStart` and a `MoveEnd`, and a resize into a `ResizeStart` and a
`ResizeEnd` ([`Table::handle`]). The bridge also stops asking KWin again for the position komorebi
gave the window (`settle`): the window is the user's now.
`MoveStart` records the monitor, the workspace and the window
([`WindowManager::pending_move_op`]). `MoveEnd` takes the record, and when it names the same
window, looks at the monitor under the pointer. On another monitor than the one the move began
on, the window's container goes there and takes the place of the container whose tile the
pointer is on ([`WindowManager::transfer_window`]); a floating window joins the floating
windows there, a monocle container is put back among the containers first, and a maximized
window stays where it is. Both monitors are tiled again.
On the same monitor, `MoveEnd` compares the frame of the focused container's window with the
tile the layout last gave it ([`Workspace::latest_layout`]). A frame as wide and as tall as its
tile makes the drag a move. With the float override on, the window is then made a floating one
where it was let go. Otherwise the container under the pointer
([`Workspace::container_idx_from_current_point`], through the backend's `cursor_pos`) is the
target: the focused container swaps with it, or, with the window container behavior `Append`,
the window joins it ([`Workspace::move_window_to_container`]). The workspace is tiled again,
which puts a window let go where there is no tile back on its own. A frame of another size
changes nothing, and neither does a floating window, which is in no container
([`Workspace::contains_managed_window`]). The swap goes through `LockableSequence`, as
`MoveWindow`'s does.
A resize is measured from the frame the window had when the user took hold of it. The table keeps
that frame at the start ([`Table::drag_origin`], the backend's `drag_origin`), because the
`geometry` events of the drag change the window's frame before the window manager gets to the start;
a backend that keeps none, as the fake, gives the frame the window has when `ResizeStart` is
handled. `ResizeStart` records the window and that frame ([`WindowManager::pending_resize_op`]). At
the end the edges are where the user took them, which is not where the window's frame is: KWin
changes the frame once the client has drawn at the new size, and goes on reporting the client's
frames after the end of the drag, which can be before the window manager, busy with an earlier
event, gets to the end. The bridge therefore keeps the frame the last step of the drag asked for
(`interactiveMoveResizeStepped`) and sends it with the end as `requested`, and the table keeps it
apart from the window's frame ([`Table::drag_end`], the backend's `drag_end`), where a frame event
cannot reach it. `ResizeEnd` compares each edge of that frame, or of the window's frame when there
is none (a drag with no step), with the same edge of the frame the drag began with, focuses the
container of the dragged window, and calls [`WindowManager::resize_window`] for each edge that
moved, with twice the distance, since the layout moves a shared edge by half of what it is given. If
the window is in a container of a workspace that tiles, and the frame changed, the workspace is
tiled again, which also puts back a window whose edge had no neighbor to take room from.
[drag-resize.md](../drag-resize.md) has the rules and the reasons for each.
The neighbors follow the edge while it is dragged, and the animation effect, which does not
animate a resize by the user, leaves them to move at once. At every step of a resize KWin reports the
frame the pointer asks for (`interactiveMoveResizeStepped`); the bridge sends one step every 16 ms
at most, the newest, from a single-shot timer that sends the last one of a burst, and the table
makes the frame the window's and raises a `ResizeStep`. [`send_notification`] keeps at most one
`ResizeStep` waiting in the channel, and drops the others: the window manager reads where the
edge is when it gets to the step. `ResizeStart` keeps the workspace's
[`Workspace::resize_dimensions`] and [`Workspace::latest_layout`] as they are when the user takes
hold ([`LiveResize`], in [`WindowManager::live_resize`]), and puts the window in the list of
windows being resized ([`live_resize_begins`]), which [`Window::set_position`] leaves alone. A
step puts the kept layout back, applies the drag so far as `ResizeEnd` does, and tiles the
workspace; it makes no notification. `ResizeEnd` takes the window out of the list, puts the kept
layout back if a step moved the neighbors, and does the whole drag on it, so a drag ends the same
with steps as without, and one that is taken back puts the neighbors back. A window that opens or
closes part way through a drag changes the number of tiles: the kept layout is dropped, and the
steps after it change nothing until the end.
## Configuration
The daemon is configured by `komorebi.json`, which [`StaticConfig`] reads. `main.rs` takes the
file `--config` names, or else `komorebi.json` in [`HOME_DIR`] (`$KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME`, or
`~/.config/komorebi`) if there is one; without a file, the daemon runs on its defaults. Loading
has three steps, because the monitors are known only after the backend is asked:
1. [`StaticConfig::preload`] reads the file, applies the settings that are process-wide (the
default paddings, [`LAYOUT_DEFAULTS`], the indices of the monitors, the settings of the borders
in [`border_manager`], and the rules in [`IGNORE_IDENTIFIERS`], [`MANAGE_IDENTIFIERS`] and
[`FLOATING_APPLICATIONS`]) and makes the [`WindowManager`], with the settings that are its own.
It starts a watcher on the file.
2. [`WindowManager::init`] loads the monitors and the windows from the backend, in the order the
indices of the monitors give.
3. [`StaticConfig::postload`] gives each monitor the entry of the file that is its own, and each
workspace of the monitor the entry of its place ([`Workspace::load_static_config`]). A monitor
takes the entry at the index `display_index_preferences` gives its serial number id, or else
the first entry that no preference names and no monitor has taken. `main.rs` then asks the
backend for a desktop for each workspace ([`WindowManager::sync_workspace_desktops`]), and
tiles.
When the file changes, the watcher (a [`hotwatch`] watcher, which waits two seconds for a file
to settle) writes `ReloadStaticConfiguration` to the daemon's own socket, and the message is
handled like any other, with the window manager locked: [`StaticConfig::reload`] reads the file
first and applies it only when it parsed, so a file that is half written changes nothing. It does
for the window manager that is running what the three steps do for one that starts, and tiles
every monitor again.
`app_specific_configuration_path` names files of rules for particular applications, which
[`StaticConfig`] reads after the rules of its own (`apply_globals`): the `ignore`, `manage` and
`floating` rules of each application in each file are appended to the same lists, once each (a
rule that is in the list already is not added again). A path with no file is skipped with a
warning, since one `komorebi.json` may name a file that only another platform has; a file that is
there and is not an applications.json is an error.
Three kinds of key reach the model. A **setting** of the window manager is a field of it
([`WindowManager::resize_delta`] and the others). A **default** is a process-wide static that a
monitor or a workspace falls back to when it has no value of its own: the paddings, the layout
defaults. The settings of the borders are statics too, which the file sets and
[`border_manager::current_look`] and the layout read. A **rule** is an entry of one of the
process-wide lists. A workspace's own `layout_rules`, `work_area_offset_rules` and
`window_container_behaviour_rules` are fields of the [`Workspace`], which [`Workspace::update`]
reads each time it tiles.
A workspace's `workspace_rules` and `initial_workspace_rules` are not fields of the window manager
but entries of [`WORKSPACE_MATCHING_RULES`], which [`StaticConfig::postload`] and
[`StaticConfig::reload`] empty and fill from the file, and the messages `WorkspaceRule`,
`InitialWorkspaceRule` and their named forms add to. [`WindowManager::enforce_workspace_rules`] reads
them: for each window in view (the top of each container, and the floating windows) that a rule
matches, on a workspace other than the rule's, it makes an operation, takes the window out of its
workspace (and hides it when that is the focused one), puts it in the target (making the workspace
if it is not there, and taking a floating window to the target's monitor), tiles the focused
workspace again if the window left it, and has each target monitor put its windows on the desktops
of their workspaces
([`Monitor::assign_windows_to_workspaces`]). `handle_event` calls it before every event about a
window it manages, and `postload`, `reload` and `EnforceWorkspaceRules` call it too. An `initial_only`
rule moves a window once: the window id goes into [`WindowManager::already_moved_window_handles`],
which `EnforceWorkspaceRules` empties and a destroy removes the id from.
`ReplaceConfiguration` is the third way in: [`WindowManager::process_command`] checks that the file
reads as a [`StaticConfig`], pauses the old window manager and brings back the windows it hid
([`WindowManager::restore_all_windows`]), makes a new window manager from the file
([`StaticConfig::preload`], [`WindowManager::init`], [`StaticConfig::reload`]) over the same command
socket, and puts it where the old one was, so the daemon starts over from the file, with the
windows the backend has, all of them in view, and a watcher on the new file. A file that does not read is logged and the old window manager stays.
`komorebic quickstart` writes the example file of the docs and `komorebic/applications.json` into
the config home, compiled into the binary, and asks before it writes over a file;
`komorebic enable-autostart` writes the XDG autostart entry that has Plasma start the daemon at login.
The same types describe the file as a JSON Schema, which `schemars` derives: `komorebic
static-config-schema` prints the schema of [`StaticConfig`], `application-specific-configuration-schema`
that of an applications file, and `notification-schema` and `socket-schema` those of a
[`Notification`] and of a [`SocketMessage`]; the daemon answers the same four questions on its
socket (the fourth is the schema of a list of applications files, where `komorebic` prints the
schema of one).
The schemas of the first two are committed (`schema.json`, `schema.asc.json`, written by `just
jsonschema`), and so are the options the module's `config` is typed with
(`nix/komorebi-options.nix`, which `schemars-nixgen` makes from `schema.json` and `just nixgen`
gives the hash of the schema as its first line). The check `schema-fresh` compares the schemas with
what the Rust types print and the hash with the schema, so a change to a key that leaves one of
them behind fails.
One `komorebi.json` is meant for every platform komorebi runs on, so [`StaticConfig`] has no
`deny_unknown_fields`: a key it does not read is dropped, and the keys of other platforms that
mean nothing on KDE Plasma are fields that nothing reads. `StaticConfig::from(&WindowManager)`
goes the other way, for `GenerateStaticConfig`.

## The look
komorebi decides what the windows look like and the compositor draws it, since only the
compositor has the frames, the corners and the shadows. A border is the outer outline of a window,
drawn outside it, in the gap the layout leaves between tiles, and an animation is a window
sliding to its new place instead of jumping there. The window manager describes a
[`Look`] and asks the backend for it ([`Backend::apply_look`]); the backend sees that it is drawn
and answers whether borders are being drawn. The reasons are in
[DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md#why-does-the-compositor-draw-the-borders-and-not-komorebi).
[`border_manager`] holds the settings of the border, as statics that the messages `Border`,
`BorderWidth` and `BorderOffset` set: whether borders are on, their width, the offset, the radius
of the corners and the two colors. [`animation`] holds the settings of the animation, which
`Animation`, `AnimationDuration`, `AnimationStyle` and `AnimationFps` set: whether windows are
animated, for how long and with what easing, for every kind of animation or for one
([`AnimationPrefix`]; movement is the only kind). The
settings of one kind win over the global ones, and a global setting clears the ones of the kinds.
The commands that change a stack turn the animation off while they run and put it back, as
komorebi does on the other platforms; the file's `animation` key sets the same settings.
[`border_manager::current_look`] makes the [`Look`] of them all, and
[`border_manager::send_notification`] asks the backend for it and keeps the answer in
[`BORDER_DRAWN`]. It is called before the first layout, after every event and every message, and
after every retile. A backend remembers the look it applied last and does nothing when it is asked
for the same again, so nothing reaches KWin unless a setting changed.
What a window is to the layout decides the color of its border: the focused window of the focused
container on the focused monitor is `Single`, or `Stack` when its container has more than one
window, the focused window of every other container is `Unfocused` or, when the container is
locked, `UnfocusedLocked`, and a floating window is `Floating` while it has the focus and
`Unfocused` otherwise ([`border_manager::window_kinds`]). After every event and every message
[`border_manager::update_colours`] tells the backend the color of each window's border
([`Backend::set_border_colours`]), or that none has one when borders are off, and the backend sends
nothing it sent last time. `BorderColour` sets the color of one kind.
A drawn border takes room. While [`BORDER_DRAWN`] is set, [`Monitor::update_workspace_globals`]
gives the workspace the width and the offset of the border, and [`Workspace::update`] takes both
off every side of every tile, so the border falls in the gap and not on the window next to it.
Without a border, because they are off or the compositor has no effect to draw one, the room is
given back the next time the workspace is tiled.
The KWin backend draws the border with the effect KDE Rounded Corners
([`kwin::effects`](../../komorebi/src/kwin/effects.rs)). `apply_look` writes the effect's settings
into the user's `kwinrc`, group `[Round-Corners]`, through [`Kwinrc`]; loads the effect with
`loadEffect` unless it is loaded; and always asks it to read its settings again
(`reconfigureEffect`), since KWin hands an effect the copy of `kwinrc` it read when it started. A
look without a border unloads the effect, if komorebi loaded it, and puts the user's settings
back. `shutdown` does the same. An effect KWin did not find when it started is reported once and
komorebi goes on without it, with `apply_look` answering false. The animation is Geometry Change:
its `Duration` and `Curve` are the look's, and cross-fading is off. The curve is a Qt easing
curve, the name of the style without its "Ease" ([`AnimationStyle::qt_curve`]); the stock effect
ignores `Curve` and eases out exponentially, and komorebi's build of it reads it. KWin animates
what is painted, so the
frame the table reads is the final one at once and nothing waits for an animation to end. The
stock border effect has one color for
the active window and one for the others; komorebi's build of it takes a color for each window,
over D-Bus, by the UUID KWin knows the window by. `set_border_colours` answers false, and logs it
once, when the effect is the stock one: every border is then the focused or the unfocused color of
the look.
[PLATFORM.md](PLATFORM.md#kwin-effects) has the effect, its settings and what was measured.
## Themes
A theme gives the borders their colors. The `Theme` message carries a [`KomorebiTheme`]: a
Catppuccin theme, a Base16 theme or a Base16 palette, each with the color it gives to each of the
six kinds of border, and a default for the ones it does not name.
[`theme_manager::send_notification`] puts the six colors into the statics of [`border_manager`],
keeps the theme as [`theme_manager::CURRENT_THEME`] and asks the backend for the look again, on
the thread that handled the message; [`border_manager::update_colours`] hands them to the border
effect with the next event or message. The palette of a picture is made by
`komorebi-themes` ([`komorebi_themes::generate_base16_palette`]), which takes seconds, so
[`theme_manager::wallpaper_palette`] keeps each palette it makes in `komorebi` in the user's cache
directory, in a file named by [`theme_manager::palette_file`] for the picture, a hash of its path,
size and time of last change, and the variant: a picture that was painted over, or one of the same
name in another folder, has a palette of its own. A picture it cannot make a palette from (it
cannot be read, or has fewer than eight colors) has none, and the borders keep their colors.
[DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md#why-is-a-palette-kept-by-the-hash-of-its-picture) has the reason.
## Wallpapers
A [`Monitor`] has a [`Wallpaper`] and so can each of its workspaces: the `wallpaper` of an entry of
`monitors` and of `workspaces` in `komorebi.json`, which [`StaticConfig::postload`] and
[`StaticConfig::reload`] give them. [`Workspace::apply_wallpaper`] asks the backend to show the workspace's own wallpaper
or else its monitor's ([`Backend::set_wallpaper`]), and, unless the wallpaper says
`generate_theme: false`, makes a theme of the palette of the picture
([`theme_manager::wallpaper_palette`]), with the variant and the colors of its `theme_options`, and
hands it to [`theme_manager::send_notification`]: the colors are the borders' before the
workspace is shown. It is called wherever a workspace comes into view. [`Workspace::restore`], which
[`Monitor::load_focused_workspace`] calls for komorebi's own switches, calls it;
[`WindowManager::adopt_workspace_change`] calls it for a switch something else made, and
[`WindowManager::retile_all`] for the workspace in front at the start, and
[`WindowManager::apply_wallpaper_for_monitor_workspace`], which [`StaticConfig::reload`] calls for the
workspace each monitor shows, has a reloaded file's wallpapers shown at once. A monitor and a
workspace without a wallpaper are not asked about.
Plasma has one wallpaper for each screen, which the shell, a process of its own, keeps. The KWin
backend does not set it from the thread of the window manager: [`Backend::set_wallpaper`] notes the
wish for the output (by name, which is how the shell tells screens apart) and starts a task on the
runtime, which asks the shell what the screen shows and sets the picture only if it differs, with
the plugin that shows a picture, filling the screen ([`kwin::wallpaper`]). A shell that is not
there yet is tried again for about half a minute, with longer waits, and the failure is said once.
[PLATFORM.md](PLATFORM.md#the-plasma-shell) has what the shell is asked.
## Transparency
The opacity of a window is a property KWin has, so komorebi sets it ([`Backend::set_opacity`],
which the KWin backend sends the bridge as an `opacity` command: `alpha / 255`) and the compositor
draws the window so. [`transparency_manager`] holds the settings, as statics that `Transparency`,
`ToggleTransparency` and `TransparencyAlpha` set and the `transparency` and `transparency_alpha`
keys of the file give a value, and the rules for the ignored windows (`TRANSPARENCY_BLACKLIST`, set
by the `transparency_ignore_rules` of the file). [`transparency_manager::apply`] is called
before the first layout and after every event and every message: it works out
[`transparency_manager::transparent_windows`], on the workspace each monitor shows (the window in
front in every container, unless the container has the focus on the focused monitor; a monocled
window only on a monitor that is not the focused one; none on a workspace that does not tile; none
that a rule ignores), and sends the backend only what differs
from what the window manager kept in [`WindowManager::opacity_applied`]. A window that should not
be see-through any more is made opaque, and with transparency off every window is. When komorebi
stops, [`transparency_manager::restore`] makes every window it changed opaque again. The border
effect draws a window from a texture that has its opacity in it, and the build komorebi installs
draws it again when the opacity changes ([PLATFORM.md](PLATFORM.md#the-patches)).
## Focus follows mouse
The window under the pointer has the focus when the compositor's focus policy says so, and the
compositor does it. `FocusFollowsMouse` and `ToggleFocusFollowsMouse` set
[`WindowManager::focus_follows_mouse`] (the implementation that was asked for, or none) and ask the
backend ([`Backend::set_focus_follows_mouse`]); whichever of the two implementations is named, on
KDE it is the compositor's own policy. The KWin backend writes `FocusPolicy=1` and
`DelayFocusInterval=0` into the `[Windows]` group of the user's `kwinrc` through [`Kwinrc`], which
records the first value of each key, and asks KWin to reload; turning it off puts those two keys
back ([`Kwinrc::restore_keys`]) and leaves `PerOutputVirtualDesktops`, which is in the same group,
as it is. `shutdown` puts back everything. The focus the compositor gives is an event like the
others: the window manager follows it, and [`State`] says whether focus follows mouse is on.
[DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md#why-is-focus-follows-mouse-kwins-own-focus-policy) has the reasons.
## The NixOS module
The flake exports one module under two names, `nixosModules.default` and
`nixosModules.komorebi`: [`nixos-module.nix`] and the flake's overlay, which builds
`komorebi-full` (both programs) with the flake's nixpkgs and Rust toolchain. Its options are
`enable`, `package` (by default `pkgs.komorebi-full`, from the overlay), `logLevel`,
`configFile`, `config`, `applicationSpecificConfiguration`, `effects.borders.enable` and
`effects.borders.package` (by default `pkgs.kde-rounded-corners-komorebi`, from the overlay),
`effects.animation.enable` and `effects.animation.package`
(`pkgs.kwin-effect-geometry-change-komorebi`), and `execStart`, which is read-only: the module
sets it to `bin/komorebi` of the package with `--log-level`, and `--config` with a
`komorebi.json` when `configFile` or `config` is set. `config` is typed from
`nix/komorebi-options.nix`, the options `schemars-nixgen` makes from the schema of `komorebi.json`;
the module writes it as JSON, with no null in it, and `configFile` and the written file both go
through `check-jsonschema` against `schema.json` when the system is built (comment lines taken out
first, since the checker reads plain JSON). `applicationSpecificConfiguration.sources` are files
fetched from GitHub that become `app_specific_configuration_path`; the module has none by default.
`internal.configAttrs` is the configuration as the attribute set the options make, for the tests.
With `services.komorebi.enable`, the module:
- installs the package in the system profile, and the effect that draws the borders unless
`effects.borders.enable` is off and the one that animates windows unless
`effects.animation.enable` is off;
- defines the user unit `komorebi.service`, which every user of the machine has. Plasma's
`plasma-workspace.target` wants it, so a Plasma session starts it at login, and it is ordered
after `plasma-core.target`, which Plasma orders after KWin's service, `plasma-kwin_wayland`;
- runs `execStart` in it, with `Restart=on-failure`, the exit status of a `SIGTERM` (130)
counted as success, and a `PATH` of `/run/wrappers/bin`, `/etc/profiles/per-user/%u/bin` and
`/run/current-system/sw/bin` instead of the store paths NixOS gives a unit;
- asserts that Plasma 6 is enabled.
The VM tests run on machines built with it ([vm-tests.md](vm-tests.md)). Their headless node
runs the daemon in test sessions, with a template unit, `komorebi@NAME`, that runs the module's
`execStart` on the session's private bus. The session node logs in to Plasma, which starts the
module's unit.

## The parts
- [`backend`](../../komorebi/src/backend/mod.rs): the trait, the two data types, and the
process-wide handle ([`set_backend`], [`backend`], [`with_backend`]).
- [`backend::fake`](../../komorebi/src/backend/fake.rs): the fake.
- [`ring`](../../komorebi/src/ring.rs): the [`Ring`], and the macro that gives every type
holding one the same accessors (`containers()`, `focused_container_mut()`, ...).
- [`monitor`](../../komorebi/src/monitor.rs), [`workspace`](../../komorebi/src/workspace.rs),
[`container`](../../komorebi/src/container.rs), [`window`](../../komorebi/src/window.rs):
the four levels of the tree; `window` also has the rule engine ([`should_act`]).
- [`lockable_sequence`](../../komorebi/src/lockable_sequence.rs): inserting, removing and
swapping in a list where some elements are locked in place, which is how a workspace
changes its containers.
- [`window_manager`](../../komorebi/src/window_manager.rs): the [`WindowManager`] and the
operations on it (tile the workspace in front, tile every monitor, take a minimized
window out, move the focus, move the focused container, change the layout, resize or
promote the focused container, float a window, switch the layer, put a container in
monocle, maximize a window, lock a container, set the padding of a workspace, manage and
unmanage a window, stack and unstack windows and choose the one in front, show a
workspace, move a container to another workspace, follow a workspace switch made by
something else, name a workspace and find it by its name, set the layout of a workspace
that is not in front, focus another monitor, and move containers and workspaces between
monitors).
- [`desktop`](../../komorebi/src/desktop.rs): loads the monitors and the open windows from
the backend, and reads the sizes of the monitors again.
- [`window_manager_event`](../../komorebi/src/window_manager_event.rs) and
[`process_event`](../../komorebi/src/process_event.rs): the events, and what the window
manager does with each.
- [`window_manager_event_listener`](../../komorebi/src/window_manager_event_listener.rs): the
channel that carries events from the backend to the window manager, and
[`listen_for_events`], the thread that takes them off it.
- [`monitor_reconciliator`](../../komorebi/src/monitor_reconciliator.rs): the channel the KWin
backend sends [`MonitorNotification`]s on, [`listen_for_notifications`], the thread that
takes them, and [`reconcile_display_change`], which brings the window manager's monitors in
line with the outputs;
[`reconcile`](../../komorebi/src/reconcile.rs): moves what was on a monitor that went to the
monitors that are left.
- [`kwin`](../../komorebi/src/kwin/mod.rs): the KWin backend, its D-Bus service and the held
call; [`kwin::state`](../../komorebi/src/kwin/state.rs), the table;
[`kwin::kwinrc`](../../komorebi/src/kwin/kwinrc.rs), the editor of the user's `kwinrc`, which
keeps the values it changes and puts them back; the parking desktop is made, swept and removed
in `kwin` and tracked in `kwin::state`; and
[`bridge.js`](../../komorebi/src/kwin/bridge.js), the bridge.
- [`static_config`](../../komorebi/src/static_config.rs): `komorebi.json`, [`StaticConfig`], and
how it is loaded, reloaded and generated.
- [`border_manager`](../../komorebi/src/border_manager/mod.rs): the border settings, and the
[`Look`] they make, which it asks the backend for.
- [`animation`](../../komorebi/src/animation/mod.rs): the animation settings, which the look has.
- [`theme_manager`](../../komorebi/src/theme_manager.rs): a theme's colors for the borders, and the
palettes made from pictures.
- [`kwin::wallpaper`](../../komorebi/src/kwin/wallpaper.rs): the Plasma shell's side of a
wallpaper: the screen of an output, what it shows, and the picture set.
- [`transparency_manager`](../../komorebi/src/transparency_manager.rs): which windows are
see-through, and the opacity they are given.
- [`kwin::effects`](../../komorebi/src/kwin/effects.rs): the KWin effect that draws the border,
its settings and the state komorebi keeps of it.
- [`process_command`](../../komorebi/src/process_command.rs): the thread that listens on the
socket, and what the window manager does with each message.
- [`state`](../../komorebi/src/state.rs): the [`State`] a `State` message is answered with,
and whether an event or a message changed it.
- [`lib.rs`](../../komorebi/src/lib.rs): the subscribers, the [`Notification`], and
[`notify_subscribers`].
- [`komorebi-client`](../../komorebi-client/src/lib.rs): a library that writes messages on
the socket and reads the answers, and subscribes to notifications, for programs that talk
to the daemon.
- [`komorebic`](../../komorebic/src/main.rs): the command line. A subcommand that asks
something of the daemon is one message, sent with `komorebi-client`; `start` runs the
daemon, `log` follows its log file in [`LOG_DIR`], and the hidden `docgen` writes
`docs/cli`.
- [`main.rs`](../../komorebi/src/main.rs): the daemon. It connects to KWin, or installs the
fake with `--fake-backend`, makes the window manager from `komorebi.json` when there is one,
which binds the socket, loads the desktop, gives the monitors their configuration, asks for the
borders and tiles, starts the threads that listen on the socket, handle events and take the
notifications of the monitors, and waits to be stopped.
- [`nixos-module.nix`]: the NixOS module, which installs komorebi and runs the daemon as a
systemd user unit of every Plasma session.
The handle is a process-wide singleton so that a window can be a small `Copy` value
that carries only its id, and ask the backend for what it needs. A test replaces it for
its own thread with [`with_backend`], which puts the previous one back when the test is
done, also if it panics.
## Traits and roles
**[`Backend`] is the compositor.** It is implemented once for each compositor and once for
the fake. The window manager is its only caller, through [`backend`]. The contract:
- Queries (`windows`, `window`, `foreground_window`, `cursor_pos`) answer from the
backend's own table and never wait for the compositor, except the KWin backend's
`cursor_pos`, which waits up to 250 ms for the bridge. `monitors` may fail.
- A command returns once the compositor has accepted it, not once the client has acted on
it. The frame a window ends up with is what `window_rect` says afterwards, because a
client may refuse a size.
- A command about a window that does not exist, or is no longer alive, is an error. It
never panics. The KWin backend knows a closed window for a minute after it closed, and
sends its commands to the bridge, which reports that it could not carry them out.
- Workspace `i` is the compositor's desktop `i`, and each monitor shows one
(`switch_workspace`, `set_window_workspace`, `window_workspace`, `current_workspaces`). A
backend asked for a workspace that has no desktop makes the desktops up to it
(`ensure_workspaces`). The compositor shows and hides the windows of the desktops, and a
backend reports a switch or a move it did not make as an event.
- A hidden window (`hide`) is out of sight, alive, not minimized, and on the workspace it was
on until `restore`: `window_workspace` still names that workspace, and
`set_window_workspace` changes where it comes back to, not where it is hidden. Only the back of
a stack and the containers behind a monocle are hidden: nothing is hidden to leave a
workspace.
- The look is a request (`apply_look`): a backend asks the compositor to draw it and answers
whether borders are being drawn, and one that draws nothing answers false, which is the default.
It does nothing when it is asked for the look it applied last.
- `shutdown`, `is_window`, `window_rect` and `monitor_from_point` have defaults, written in
terms of the queries. An implementor should not need to override them, except `shutdown`
when it created something in the compositor that has to be given up. `drag_origin` and
`drag_end` have defaults that keep nothing; a backend whose frames change during a drag and
after it, as KWin's do, overrides them.
## What is guaranteed, and by what
| Rule | Enforced by | Proof | Escape hatch |
|---|---|---|---|
| A backend implements every query and command but `maximize` | type system: the methods have no defaults, except `maximize`, which does nothing until a backend implements it | `compile_fail,E0046` on [`Backend`] | none |
| A backend can be shared between threads | type system: `Backend: Send + Sync + 'static` | `compile_fail,E0277` on [`Backend`] | none |
| The window manager asks for a backend that was never installed | runtime error: [`backend`] panics, naming [`set_backend`] and [`with_backend`] | `# Panics` on [`backend`] | none |
| A test's backend does not outlive the test | framework path: [`with_backend`] restores the previous one on drop | `with_backend_puts_the_previous_backend_back_when_the_closure_panics` | none |
| A command about a missing window is an error, not a panic | test | `a_command_about_a_window_nobody_opened_is_an_error`, `a_command_about_a_closed_window_is_an_error` and `hiding_or_restoring_a_window_nobody_opened_is_an_error` against the fake, `a_command_about_a_window_the_table_does_not_know_is_an_error_and_sends_nothing` against the KWin backend | none |
| A locked container keeps its index | framework path: a [`Workspace`] inserts, removes and swaps its containers through `LockableSequence` | `test_locked_containers_with_new_window`, `test_locked_containers_remove_window`, `a_window_that_opens_does_not_push_a_locked_container_from_its_index` | `containers_mut()` is the `VecDeque` itself |
| A container in monocle goes back to the index it came from, and the tiles come back as they were resized | framework path: [`Workspace::new_monocle_container`] keeps the index and [`Workspace::reintegrate_monocle_container`] inserts at it, and [`Workspace::update`] does not shorten the resize adjustments while there is a monocle container | `test_toggle_monocle`, `a_monocle_goes_back_to_its_index_even_when_a_window_opens_meanwhile`, `a_tile_that_was_resized_is_the_size_it_was_after_a_monocle` | none |
| The window in monocle keeps the focus | framework path: `handle_event` gives the focus back to the monocle window on a `FocusChange`, and [`WindowManager::update_focused_workspace`] focuses it | `a_window_that_takes_the_focus_from_the_monocle_is_made_to_give_it_back` | none |
| What is about the tiles does nothing while a window is in monocle | framework path: [`WindowManager::move_container_in_direction`] and [`WindowManager::move_container_in_cycle_direction`] bail, and [`WindowManager::toggle_float`] returns, when the window in front is in monocle | `what_is_about_the_tiles_is_refused_or_ignored_while_a_monocle_is_on` | none |
| A focus that crosses to a monitor in monocle gives its monocle window the focus, and a container moved or sent to a workspace in monocle turns the monocle off | framework path: the `None` arm of [`WindowManager::focus_container_in_direction`], [`WindowManager::move_container_in_direction`], [`WindowManager::move_container_to_monitor`] and [`Monitor::move_container_to_workspace`] | `focusing_towards_a_monitor_in_monocle_gives_the_focus_to_its_monocle_window`, `a_container_moved_to_a_monitor_in_monocle_turns_the_monocle_off_there`, `a_container_sent_to_a_workspace_in_monocle_turns_the_monocle_off_there` | none |
| A window in monocle that closes takes the monocle with it | framework path: [`Workspace::remove_window`] looks in the monocle container, which the index of managed windows lists | `closing_the_window_in_monocle_tiles_the_others_again` | none |
| In a real KWin, the window in monocle fills the work area and goes back to its tile | VM test | `vm-core-e2e` ("in monocle the focused window fills the work area", "toggling back puts it on its tile") | none |
| A clean stop, and the next start after a crash, bring back the windows a monocle hid | VM test | `vm-core-e2e` ("and every window is on a workspace's desktop", "after a crash and a restart a monocle still hides the other window") | none |
| A maximized window goes back in a container of its own at the index it came from, and the tiles are where they were | framework path: [`Workspace::new_maximized_window`] keeps the index and [`Workspace::reintegrate_maximized_window`] inserts at it, after asking the backend to restore the window, and nothing else moves in between | `toggle_maximize_takes_the_window_out_of_the_layout_and_back`, `maximizing_works_in_every_layout`, `a_window_goes_back_in_a_container_of_its_own_at_the_index_it_came_from` | none |
| What is about the tiles does nothing while a window is maximized | framework path: `is_layout_command` in [`WindowManager::process_command`] drops the message before it is handled | `while_a_window_is_maximized_what_is_about_the_tiles_does_nothing` | none |
| A window stays maximized through a retile | framework path: [`Workspace::update`] asks the backend to maximize it again, and moves no container | `a_retile_while_a_window_is_maximized_asks_the_compositor_to_maximize_it_again` | none |
| A maximized window that closes takes the maximize with it | framework path: [`Workspace::remove_window`] looks at the maximized window first, which the index of managed windows lists | `a_maximized_window_that_closes_leaves_the_layout_whole` | none |
| In a real KWin, the maximized window fills the work area, is on top, and goes back to its tile | VM test | `vm-features` ("the focused window fills the work area", "and is the one on top", "toggled back, it is in its tile again") | none |
| The focus, move and resize messages act on the windows of the layer a workspace is on | framework path: [`WindowManager::process_command`] matches on [`Workspace::layer`] for `FocusWindow`, `CycleFocusWindow` and `MoveWindow`, [`WindowManager::resize_window`] for the resize messages, and `PreselectDirection` checks it | `focusing_in_a_direction_on_the_floating_layer_goes_to_the_nearest_floating_window`, `moving_on_the_floating_layer_moves_the_floating_window_by_the_resize_delta`, `resizing_on_the_floating_layer_changes_the_frame_of_the_floating_window`, `a_direction_to_preselect_is_ignored_on_the_floating_layer`, `focusing_a_floating_window_towards_a_monitor_crosses_to_it_and_to_its_monocle_window` | none |
| The layer follows the window that has the focus | framework path: `handle_event` sets [`Workspace::layer`] on a `FocusChange`, a `Show` and [`WindowManager::toggle_float`], and [`Monitor::move_container_to_workspace`] on the workspace a window is moved to | `floating_a_window_puts_the_workspace_on_the_floating_layer_and_focusing_a_tile_takes_it_back`, `a_window_sent_to_another_workspace_puts_that_workspace_on_the_layer_it_arrived_on` | none |
| A window that opens on the floating layer floats only when its floating layer behaviour says so | framework path: [`WindowManager::window_management_behaviour`] takes the workspace's behaviour, else its monitor's, else its own, and `handle_event` floats the window on `floating_layer_override` | `the_floating_layer_behaviour_of_the_workspace_wins_over_the_monitors_and_the_window_managers`, `a_window_that_opens_on_the_floating_layer_floats_when_the_behaviour_says_so` | none |
| The windows of the layer a workspace is not on are out of sight | framework path: `ToggleWorkspaceLayer` hides the floating windows when it goes to the tiling layer and restores them when it goes to the floating one | `going_back_to_the_tiles_hides_the_floating_windows_and_going_to_them_shows_them_again` | none |
| Cycling the focus on the floating layer visits every floating window | test | `cycling_the_focus_on_the_floating_layer_goes_round_the_floating_windows_in_order` | none |
| A floating window is never moved out of the work area by `move` | framework path: [`WindowManager::move_floating_window_in_direction`] keeps the frame inside the focused monitor's work area | `moving_on_the_floating_layer_moves_the_floating_window_by_the_resize_delta` | none |
| A window komorebi does not manage is never moved | framework path: `handle_event` asks [`Window::should_manage`] before it acts on any event but a destroy | `dialogs_and_other_non_normal_windows_are_left_alone`, `an_ignore_rule_keeps_a_window_unmanaged` | `ManageRule` |
| A window the user unmanaged stays out of the layout until it is managed again | framework path: `handle_event` checks the list of unmanaged windows before it acts on any event but a removal | `unmanage_takes_the_focused_window_out_until_manage_takes_it_back` | none |
| A paused window manager moves no window | framework path: `handle_event` returns before anything else, and [`read_commands_uds`] drops every message but `TogglePause`, `State`, `GlobalState` and `Stop` | `while_paused_no_event_changes_the_layout_and_manage_takes_in_a_window_it_missed`, `while_paused_only_toggle_pause_state_and_stop_are_handled` | none |
| A destroyed window leaves whichever workspace has it | framework path: the destroy is looked up in the index of managed windows, which is rebuilt at startup and before and after every event | `a_window_that_was_open_before_komorebi_started_is_removed_when_it_closes` | none |
| The daemon does not start without KWin, unless it is told to run against the fake | startup check: [`connect`] fails, and the daemon exits with the error, code 1 | `without_a_session_bus_komorebi_exits_with_an_error_naming_it` | `--fake-backend` |
| One komorebi per session | startup check: the session bus gives `org.komorebi.Bridge` to one connection | none | none |
| A komorebi that cannot connect to KWin leaves the socket of the running one alone | startup order: `main.rs` connects to KWin before [`WindowManager::new`] binds the socket | `without_kwin_komorebi_leaves_the_socket_it_finds_alone` | `--fake-backend` asks no bus, and takes the socket |
| Events reach the window manager in the order KWin raised them | framework path: the `Event` interface is `spawn = false`, so the calls are handled inline, and one channel and one thread carry the events to the window manager | `vm-kwin-events` ("the Show came first") | none |
| No event names a window before the event that announces it | convention in the bridge, which announces a window it has not seen when it is activated; the table shows a window once | `a_new_window_raises_show_and_then_focus_in_that_order`, `announcing_the_same_window_twice_shows_it_once`, `vm-kwin-events` | none |
| A window's id names one window while the daemon runs | framework path: the table numbers each KWin window the first time it sees it, and never gives a number out twice | `ids_are_assigned_once_per_window_and_survive_a_new_snapshot`, `tombstones_are_dropped_after_a_while_and_their_ids_are_not_reused` | none |
| A backend never waits for the window manager | framework path: an event that does not fit in the channel (20 waiting) is dropped and logged | none | none |
| Every window is where komorebi asked for it, within the size its client keeps to | VM test | `vm-core-e2e`, `vm-client-geometry` | a client may refuse a size: the frame is what `window_rect` says |
| A retile reaches KWin as one batch | framework path: the answer to `Poll` waits a millisecond after the first command for the others | `vm-latency` | none |
| The window manager sees a frame it asked for at once | framework path: the KWin backend's `set_rect` records it in the table before KWin answers | `a_requested_rect_is_visible_at_once_and_replaced_by_the_real_one` | none |
| A KWin that restarts gets the bridge again, and the windows of the old one leave the layout | framework path: the connection's thread watches `NameOwnerChanged` for `org.kde.KWin`, and the table destroys every window when the name is lost | `when_kwin_goes_away_every_window_it_had_is_destroyed`, `vm-kwin-restart` | none |
| After KWin restarts, the commands go to the new bridge | framework path: a `Poll` held since before KWin last left the bus is answered with nothing, and passes on the wake-up it got | `a_poll_held_by_the_bridge_of_a_kwin_that_has_gone_gets_no_commands`, `vm-kwin-restart` ("a window opened in the third KWin is tiled") | none |
| Messages are handled one at a time, and in order on one connection | framework path: [`read_commands_uds`] reads a connection line by line and handles each message with the window manager locked | `the_messages_on_one_connection_are_handled_in_order` | none |
| A socket left behind by a daemon that did not stop cleanly does not keep the next one from starting | framework path: [`WindowManager::new`] removes the file before it binds | `a_socket_file_left_behind_is_replaced` | none |
| A daemon that is told to stop leaves no socket behind | framework path: [`WindowManager::stop`] removes it before it exits | `the_daemon_answers_on_its_socket_and_stops_when_it_is_told_to` | `SIGKILL` |
| A container moved onto a locked index is locked in its place, and the lock leaves the container that moved away | framework path: [`Workspace::swap_containers`] swaps through `LockableSequence`, which keeps the lock with the index | `test_swap_respecting_locks_various_cases`, `a_lock_stays_with_its_index_when_a_window_is_moved_onto_it` | `containers_mut()` is the `VecDeque` itself |
| A window komorebi puts off the screen stays there | framework path: the bridge asks again for the position of a window KWin pulled back after a `geo` command, for a second, three times at most | `a window KWin pulls back from where it was asked to be is asked for the position again`, `a window that cannot go where it was asked is asked again three times at most`, `vm-scrolling` | a window that cannot go where it was asked is left where KWin put it |
| A window dragged onto the tile of another swaps places with it, and a window let go of elsewhere goes back to its tile | framework path: `handle_event`'s `MoveEnd` swaps the focused container with the one under the pointer through [`Workspace::swap_containers`], and tiles the workspace again | `dragging_a_window_onto_another_swaps_them`, `a_window_let_go_of_where_there_is_no_tile_goes_back_to_its_own` | a frame that is not as wide and as tall as its tile is not taken for a move, and stays where it was let go |
| A floating window dragged onto a tile takes nothing from it | framework path: `MoveEnd` acts only on a window that is in a container ([`Workspace::contains_managed_window`]) | `a_floating_window_dragged_onto_a_tile_takes_nothing_from_it` | none |
| A window let go of on another monitor goes there, in the place of the container under the pointer | framework path: `MoveEnd` sees that the monitor under the pointer is not the one the drag began on, and hands the window to [`WindowManager::transfer_window`] without comparing its frame with its tile | `a_window_let_go_of_on_another_monitor_goes_to_that_monitor`, `a_window_let_go_of_on_a_monitor_with_nothing_on_it_goes_there`, `a_floating_window_let_go_of_on_another_monitor_is_one_of_the_floating_windows_there` | a floating window that is the only window of its workspace is not noticed to have moved |
| With the window container behavior `Append` a window let go of on a tile joins its container, and with the float override on it floats where it was let go of | framework path: `MoveEnd` reads [`WindowManager::window_management_behaviour`] for the focused workspace | `with_append_a_window_let_go_of_on_a_tile_joins_the_container_of_that_tile`, `with_the_float_override_a_window_let_go_of_on_a_tile_floats_where_it_was_let_go_of` | none |
| The bridge leaves a window the user has taken hold of where the user puts it | framework path: the bridge forgets the position it was asking again for when a drag of the window starts | `a window the user has taken hold of is not asked again for the position komorebi gave it` | none |
| A drag of an edge resizes the tile of the window that was dragged, by what the pointer moved the edge, and moves no other edge | framework path: `ResizeEnd` compares each edge with the frame the drag began with ([`Table::drag_origin`]) and resizes the dragged window's container | `resizing_a_tile_by_hand_moves_the_split`, `a_drag_is_measured_from_where_the_window_was_not_from_its_tile`, `the_window_that_was_dragged_is_the_one_resized_not_the_focused_one`, `a_corner_resizes_both_of_its_edges`, `vm-drag-resize` | none |
| The end of a resize is where the user took the edge, not the frame KWin has then, or reports a moment later | framework path: the bridge sends the frame of the last step as `requested`, the table keeps it for a resize apart from the window's frame ([`Table::drag_end`]), which the frame events that follow the end do not reach, and `ResizeEnd` reads it ([`Backend::drag_end`]) | `the_end_of_a_resize_is_where_the_user_took_it_not_where_the_frame_had_got_to`, `a_frame_that_follows_the_end_of_a_resize_does_not_change_where_the_user_took_it`, `the_end_of_a_resize_is_where_the_user_took_the_edge_when_the_frame_has_not_got_there`, `a drag is reported when the user takes hold of a window and when they let go`, `vm-drag-resize` | a drag with no step ends at the frame |
| The window whose edge is being dragged is not moved until it is let go | framework path: [`Window::set_position`] returns without a command for a window in the list [`live_resize_begins`] adds it to, whatever tiles the workspace | `the_neighbours_follow_a_drag_while_it_is_going_on_and_the_dragged_window_is_left_alone`, `a_window_opening_part_way_through_a_drag_does_not_break_it` | none |
| A drag ends the same with its steps as without them, and one taken back puts the neighbors back | framework path: every step and the end start from the layout kept at the start ([`LiveResize`]) | `a_drag_has_the_same_result_with_the_steps_as_without_them`, `a_drag_that_is_taken_back_puts_the_neighbours_where_they_were`, `vm-live-resize` | none |
| A step of a drag never waits behind another step | framework path: the bridge sends one every 16 ms at most, and [`send_notification`] keeps at most one waiting | `the steps of a resize are sent at most every 16 ms, and the last of a burst is not lost`, `a step waiting when the user lets go is not sent after the end` | none |
| A dragged edge with no neighbor puts the window back on its tile | framework path: `ResizeEnd` tiles the workspace again when the frame changed | `dragging_an_edge_that_has_no_neighbour_puts_the_window_back`, `vm-drag-resize` | none |
| Only a tile is resized by dragging: the window of a stack resizes the tile of the stack, and a floating window or the window of a monocle is left as the user made it | framework path: `ResizeEnd` looks for the container of the dragged window among the workspace's containers ([`Workspace::container_idx_for_window`]), which leaves out the floating windows and the monocle container, and does nothing when there is none | `the_edge_of_a_stack_is_the_edge_of_its_tile`, `a_floating_window_dragged_by_its_edge_is_left_as_the_user_made_it`, `the_window_of_a_monocle_dragged_by_its_edge_is_left_as_the_user_made_it` | none |
| A resize leaves no tile smaller than a tenth of the work area, or than it was | framework path: [`WindowManager::resize_window`] calculates the tiles for the adjustment, and cuts the adjustment down until they all fit | `a_resize_leaves_every_tile_about_a_tenth_of_the_work_area_wide_at_least`, `a_drag_further_than_the_neighbour_can_give_goes_as_far_as_it_can`, `shrinking_a_tile_by_more_than_it_can_is_granted_as_far_as_it_goes` | the paddings are taken off afterwards, so a tile can end up a little smaller |
| The offset of a workspace wins over its monitor's, which wins over the window manager's | framework path: [`Monitor::update_workspace_globals`] gives the workspace the monitor's offset or else the window manager's, and [`Workspace::update`] takes its own before that | `the_workspaces_offset_wins_over_the_monitors_which_wins_over_the_global_one` | none |
| A workspace whose tiling is off moves no window | framework path: [`Workspace::update`] returns before the layout when [`Workspace::tile`] is false | `with_tiling_off_no_window_is_moved_until_it_is_back_on` | none |
| komorebi hides no window to leave a workspace | framework path: showing a workspace is one request to the compositor ([`Backend::switch_workspace`]), which shows and hides the windows of its desktops | `switching_workspace_asks_the_compositor_to_show_the_other_desktop`, `vm-workspace-switch` ("KWin shows the desktop, komorebi hides nothing") | none |
| Showing a workspace on one monitor leaves the other monitors as they are | KWin's per-output virtual desktops, which [`connect`] turns on | `showing_a_workspace_switches_that_output_only`, `vm-kwin-contract` ("the other keeps its own") | a `kwinrc` komorebi cannot write: every monitor switches |
| A window is on its new workspace's desktop before the desktop is shown or the window focused | framework path: [`Monitor::load_focused_workspace`] puts every window on its desktop first | `moving_a_window_to_another_workspace_puts_it_on_the_desktop_before_showing_it` | none |
| A workspace switch or a window move made by something else is followed, and answered with no command | framework path: the table reports what it did not send as a `WorkspaceChange` or a `WorkspaceMove`, and [`WindowManager::adopt_workspace_change`] asks the compositor for nothing | `a_workspace_switch_by_someone_else_is_followed_not_undone`, `a_window_moved_to_another_desktop_by_someone_else_changes_workspace`, `another_party_switching_a_monitor_is_a_workspace_change`, `vm-workspace-switch` ("nothing is flip-flopping") | none |
| komorebi's own switch or move, reported back by KWin, changes nothing | framework path: the table records a switch and a move when it makes their commands | `the_compositor_reporting_komorebis_own_switch_changes_nothing`, `komorebis_own_move_coming_back_as_an_event_moves_nothing`, `komorebi_switching_a_monitor_comes_back_as_a_change_to_what_it_already_knows` | none |
| The user's `kwinrc` gets back the value komorebi changed, also after a crash | framework path: [`Kwinrc`] records the first value of a key in a backup file, and the backend's `shutdown` puts it back | `what_komorebi_changed_is_put_back_exactly_and_what_it_added_is_removed`, `a_backup_left_by_a_crash_keeps_the_values_from_before_the_first_run`, `vm-workspace-switch` ("back as they were") | `SIGKILL`: the next run puts it back when it stops |
| A workspace is closed only when it has no window and no name and is not the monitor's last | framework path: the `CloseWorkspace` arm of [`WindowManager::process_command`] checks all three | `new_workspace_adds_one_and_close_workspace_removes_it_when_it_is_empty_and_unnamed` | none |

| The user's focus policy is put back when focus follows mouse is turned off and when komorebi exits | framework path: [`Kwinrc`] records the first value of each key it sets, `set_focus_follows_mouse(false)` puts the two keys back with [`Kwinrc::restore_keys`] and `shutdown` puts back all | `one_key_can_be_put_back_while_the_others_in_its_group_stay_changed`, `what_komorebi_changed_is_put_back_exactly_and_what_it_added_is_removed`, `vm-focus-follows-mouse` | `SIGKILL`: the next run puts it back when it stops |

| Queries never block on the compositor | convention only | none | the KWin backend's `cursor_pos` waits up to 250 ms |
| Only the backend module reaches the compositor | convention only | none | none |
The rows enforced by convention are rules nothing checks. A real backend that waits inside a
query breaks one of them, a module that talks to D-Bus directly breaks another, and a bridge
that decides something in JavaScript breaks a third: the bridge's tests check what it sends,
not that it decides nothing.
## One event, end to end
A window is shown, and ends up on a tile:
1. KWin raises `windowAdded`. The bridge sends an `added` event with what KWin says about
the window, and [`Table::handle`] gives the window an id, records it, and returns a
[`WindowManagerEvent`]`::Show` carrying the window and the compositor signal it came
from. The event goes on the channel, and the event thread calls
[`WindowManager::process_event`], which hands it to `handle_event` and logs how long that
took. The end-to-end tests build the event themselves and call `process_event`.
2. `handle_event` asks [`Window::should_manage`], which asks the backend's `window(id)`
whether the window is alive and normal, and then the rules whether it is to be managed. If
it is not, the event changes nothing. If a float rule matches it, it goes into the
workspace's floating windows and the steps below do not apply.
3. The index of managed windows is rebuilt from the containers. If the workspace in front
already has the window, or the index has it on another monitor or workspace, the event
creates nothing.
4. [`Workspace::new_container_for_window`] puts the window in a new container after the
focused one, inserted through `LockableSequence` so that a locked container keeps its
index, and focuses the new container.
5. [`WindowManager::update_focused_workspace`] asks the focused [`Monitor`] to give its
focused workspace the work area, the padding and the offset ([`WorkspaceGlobals`]),
and calls [`Workspace::update`].
6. `Workspace::update` asks the layout for one tile per container, clamps each to the work
area, and calls [`Window::set_position`] for each window, which is the backend's
`set_rect`. The fake puts the window there at once; the frame a window ends up with is
what `window_rect` says afterwards. The KWin backend queues a `geo` command for the
bridge, the bridge sets the window's frame, the client draws at the size it accepts, and
KWin reports the frame it ended up with as a `geometry` event, which updates the table.
7. If the new container is the only one, the window is given the focus with the backend's
`focus`, and the pointer follows it (on KWin, through its "Move Mouse to Focus"
shortcut).
8. The index is rebuilt again, so the next event finds the window.
9. [`notify_subscribers`] sends every subscriber a [`Notification`] of the `Show`, with the
state that now has the window. A `Show` is sent to a subscriber with
`filter_state_changes` too, whether or not it changed the state.
## One message, end to end
`komorebic state` asks for the state of the window manager:
1. `komorebic` calls [`send_query`], which connects to `komorebi.sock` in [`DATA_DIR`],
writes `{"type":"State"}`, and shuts down its side of the connection for writing.
2. The thread that [`listen_for_commands`] started accepts the connection and starts a
thread for it, which calls [`read_commands_uds`].
3. `read_commands_uds` reads the line, parses it into [`SocketMessage`]`::State`, and locks
the window manager, waiting up to a second.
4. [`WindowManager::process_command`] makes a [`State`] from the window manager, a copy of
every monitor with its workspaces, containers and windows. Each window is serialized
with what the backend reports about it now: its frame, title, executable, class and path.
5. The state is written to the connection as pretty-printed JSON, and the index of managed
windows is rebuilt, as after every message. The subscribers are sent a notification of
the `State` message, except those with `filter_state_changes`: it changed nothing.
6. There are no more lines, so `read_commands_uds` returns and the connection is closed.
`send_query` has read to the end, and returns the JSON, which `komorebic` prints.
