1 version 0.8.4 --
3 - add a sanity check to the removeWindow function. Basically, blackbox tells
4 bbkeys when a window disappears, or is removed. If the window being
5 removed was the last window blackbox specified as having the input focus,
6 bbkeys now resets what it thinks has the input focus. This prevents the
7 bug reproducable by iconifying the last window on a workspace, and then
8 trying to maximize "nothing". [xOr]
10 - cleaning up build again. Rather than having 200 -DDEFINE_ statements
11 in our compile lines, we use config.h (like normal people). =:) This
12 very well may break stuff, but it looks good thus far.... [vanRijn]
14 - adding AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to stop the ever-annoying "here, let me run
15 aclocal for you again!!" idiocy of automake and friends [vanRijn]
17 - fixing things for multi-head displays--replacing
18 "getScreenInfo(0)->getRootWindow()," with
19 "getCurrentScreenInfo()->getRootWindow()," So yes, bbkeys now has
20 multi-head support. Sort of. You need to have a separate instance of
21 bbkeys running against each head ("bbkeys -display :1"), etc. cat
22 complaints >> /dev/null.... [vanRijn]
24 - removing kludgy C command-line configurator with much-improved perl script
25 from Damien Tougas (thanks!!!) [vanRijn]
27 - changing bbkeys.cc to look for bbkeysconf.pl rather than bbkeysConfigC
28 [vanRijn]
30 - removing showAllWorkspaces from bbkeys.{bb,nobb} config file and making it
31 an additional keybinding. This allows two different ways of showing all
32 open windows and navigating through them--one keybinding for the regular
33 "NextWindow" variety (as in previous versions of bbkeys, and another
34 keybinding, "NextWindowAllWorkspaces", that pops up the window list for
35 navigation for windows open on all workspaces. [vanRijn]
37 - bugfix.... previously, bbkeys would ignore windows that had no name. We
38 now follow blackbox's lead (and follow blackbox's code) and create a name
39 for it, "Unnamed". Thanks to Damien Terrier for this bug report.
40 [vanRijn]
42 - patch for allowing an alternate keybinding config file (thanks to Scott
43 Moynes!) [vanRijn]
45 - sync with blackbox for 0.61.2--attributes element Atom has changed to now
46 include decoration state so that ToggleDecor() works. [vanRijn]
48 - including patch from Sergey Vlasov for allowing use of Meta and Hyper
49 modifiers, also try to get the correct Num_Lock and Scroll_Lock modifier
50 mask from the X server rather than hard-coded. I've not had tons of time
51 to play with this, though I have made sure that it works on my laptop.
52 =:) [vanRijn]
54 - fix for RPM-building process... install gzipped man pages by default on
55 RPM-based systems. Thanks to Darryll for the bug report!! =:) [vanRijn]
57 - removing bbkeysconf and bbkeysConfigGtk *shudder* apps from
58 chain-launching mode. These babies are dead and let's just move on
59 folks.... By keeping them in there, I'm afraid people will think it's
60 okay to use them. It's not. They're WAY out of date. Also, thanks to a
61 smarter way of handling key grabbing configuration in bbconf, we don't
62 have to hang bbkeys while keygrabs are being configured. [vanRijn]
64 - adding logic to bbkeys to pass configurators correct command-line
65 arguments so we load the rc-file that our user is running bbkeys with.
66 [vanRijn]
68 - long-overdue documentation finessing, thanks to Roman Neuhauser for the
69 patches and suggestions! =:) Also, adding CVS version id's to all source
70 and documentation files, woot! =:) [vanRijn]
72 - cross-compilation patch from Bo Thorsen--moves -lX11 to LIBS [vanRijn]
74 version 0.8.3 --
76 - changing external app launch order--we go bbconf, bbkeysconf,
77 bbkeysConfigGtk, rxvt, xterm... *phew*
79 - fix in stackmenu.cc (hopefully we got it this time?) to fix segfaults
80 on some platforms due to screwy X stuff. *shudder*
83 version 0.8.2 --
85 - patched for matrix-style workspace navigation, updating the 0.3.5 patch written
86 by Markus Ottenbacher (m.ottenbacher@gmx.de) found at
87 http://homepages.compuserve.de/meottenbacher/. Include UpWorkspace,
88 DownWorkspace, LeftWorkspace and RightWorkspace as WithAction() in your
89 ~/.bbkeysrc, and enable the arrangement in rows and columns in your
90 bbkeys.bb as well as in bbpager.bb (usually placed under
91 /usr/local/share/bbtools/) to use this functionality. Bill Beal <beal@tunl.duke.edu>
93 - fixed a bug due to an improper test for next and prev (test for key
94 release). next and prev might just be 0, so we can't do if (next)
95 because the correct index of the grabSet.KeyMap might be 0 for either
96 prevwindow or nextwindow keybinding and it would fail the test and not
97 release the keyboard and not lower the window menu.
99 - fixed a bug for the window list popup menu--sticky window bug where
100 sticky windows would show up twice on their originating windows but not
101 at all on the workspace that you switched from immediately prior to
102 switching to the window where the sticky window is "homed"... =:)
104 - xOr's new "showAllWorkspaces" option lets you see every window that you
105 have on any workspace with an indicator as to what workspace that
106 window is living on.... Very sweet code.
108 - fix for popup window menu... Added "always on top" code so that it
109 stays at top of window stack and won't let blackbox hide it with any
110 other window (as occurs when auto-raise is enabled in blackbox).
112 version 0.8.1 --
113 - bug fixin's--fixed annoying "un-iconify" feature when bbkeys did window
114 cycling, thanks to halt, all else for pointing that one out.... Also,
115 removed REPORT struct from resource.hh which only had auto_raise in it
116 (not sure why it's been there, un-used all this time anyway)....
118 - changed all "friend .*$" to "friend class .*$" to comply with more
119 strict gcc versions.... Thanks to Jan Schaumann for this!
121 - okay. stacked window cycling tweaks. As a visual clue for the
122 stacked-Cycling folks, we now set focus on cycled-through windows as we
123 go, raising the window selected at the end of the cycle. This sounds
124 more confusing than it is. This makes it possible to separate the new
125 and improved cycling method from the popup menu. Oh, and hitting Escape
126 in the middle of cycling will return focus to the window that you
127 started from....
129 - I've made it possible to turn off the visual menu for the new-and-improved
130 stacked cycling method. To do this, just put
131 "bbkeys.menu.showCycleMenu: False" (without the quotes, duh) into your
132 ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.bb or ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.nobb file. This will let
133 bbkeys still use the new method, will set focus as you cycle through the
134 stack, but won't actually raise the window you want until you tell it
135 to by releasing your keys or hitting <Enter>, and won't show the popup
136 window list and cycle through the entries as you go. Again, harder to
137 explain than it is to use....
139 - including README, ChangeLog, and AUTHORS in installed files list
141 - including first man page files (W00T!!) =:). Thanks to Jan Schaumann,
142 bbkeys now has man pages, baybee. Installing now and including files
143 in bbkeys.spec
145 version 0.8.0 --
146 - BIG changes!!! w00T!!! There's some very significant improvements in
147 this version, and as such, I'm calling this version 0.8.0 for various
148 reasons....
149 1) I feel like it
150 2) I'm thinking we're about "there", and 0.8.0 sounds like more of a
151 non-beta product than 0.3.8
152 3) I feel like it =:)
154 - xOr (see below) has done some majorly good coding with bbkeys. He's
155 implemented a different window-cycling scheme that's more
156 "Windows"-like (think <alt+tab> popup window with list of things you're
157 cycling through)... Verrrry slick. Umm. Did I say Verrrrry?
159 Why, yes I did. You are just going to have to see it to believe it. Blackbox
160 has just again become my favorite window manager for X, with the help
161 xOr has given to me. The window cycling methodology has changed, and
162 believe me, this is a change for the better. There's now two methods
163 of window cycling--both use the same keybindings, so don't get yer
164 panties tied in knots. xOr has implemented a newer, better "old-style"
165 window cycling, called linear cycling. It's basically what
166 blackbox/bbkeys has done up until this point, but with a few
167 significant improvements. But the really exciting new feature in this
168 release of bbkeys is the other way--a "stacked" cycling method. It
169 makes much more sense than the old way. And it's purtier, because you
170 can see what you're window-changing to before you actually go there.
171 And when you hit <alt+tab> (example keybinding--you can have it be
172 whatever you want it to be), it goes back to the window you were on
173 right before this one.
175 It's way cool, uber-neato, and excellently implemented. I'll expand on
176 this more in README, so look there for more details.
178 - xOr has also fixed a bug in LinkedList.cc (as posted to the blackbox
179 mailing list) that affected how the windows were put into the cycling
180 stack.
182 - I'm considering xOr a co-developer now (as long as he has the time and
183 desire, of course), but we've a project available on sourceforge.net at
184 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=32563 . Of course, this means
185 that all the usual sourceforge advantages are there, like CVS access,
186 etc. The project is bbconf.sourceforge.net for the time being, so
187 CVS access looks like this:
189 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
190 <hit enter for password>
191 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbkeys
193 I've imported the bbkeys tree (0.8.0 will be pulled directly from it),
194 and I've also imported a bbconf module. bbconf will be the new
195 all-in-one blackbox configuration utility (if I get some help). =:)
196 To get read-only access to it, do this...
198 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
199 <hit enter for password>
200 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbconf
202 - adding ToggleDecor as an option to toggle ummmm, window decor.... (duh).
203 *** BIG HONKING NOTE ***
204 This doesn't currently work. =:\ The code is in bbkeys, but can't
205 actually do anything until blackbox is changed to tell us what the
206 decorated state of the window is. Hopefully this will be included in
207 blackbox soon....
209 - changing order of configurator launch again, thanks to a bug report
210 from David Lawrence Ramsey (I had " black" instead of "black")--so we
211 now try rxvt before xterm, and rxvt should actually work now....
213 - hopefully fixing strcasecmp issue for AIX boxen--it's in strings.h
214 instead of string.h. Adding check for strings.h.... PLEASE let me
215 know if this doesn't actually fix anything. I'd like to put this guy
216 to bed....
218 - Applying patches from Ben Jansens <xor at x-o-r dot net>. His comments
219 are below....
221 I've removed all the functionality from the wminterface class that bbkeys
222 does not use, and reorganised the header files for wminterface and bbkeys,
223 adding comments for all of the class members. With this patch, bbkeys not
224 longer calls the blackbox cycling routines, but maintains its own list of
225 windows, and cycles them itself. One thing to note is that the cycling does
226 not occur in the same order as the buttons on the toolbar cycle. I personally
227 dont think this will be a big issue, and i think the new way is nicer. When a
228 new window opens, its added to the list right *after* the focused window,
229 so that hitting PrevWindow would take you back to the window that was
230 previously focused.
232 ....
234 * VERY nice work, Ben. Thanks for your work! *
236 - Bug squashing and fixing galore... Thanks again to Ben for pointing
237 these out. The issue was that we were doing stuff to windows without
238 making sure the window wasn't our root window. Doh! So now we make
239 sure 1) we have a focus_window and 2) that focus_window isn't
240 PointerRoot. Hopefully that will do the trick....
246 version 0.3.6 --
247 - Fixed slight bug in font-loading for label.font and frame.font. As
248 things were, we only looked for TitleFont (a bbtools-specific directive
249 which most probably isn't in most style files), a bbkeys-specific font
250 directive (which was less likely to be found). I added to the search
251 criteria toolbar.font, which for sure will be in every
252 toolbox/bbconf-generated style file and is most probably in every other
253 style file as well. Long story short, fonts should now load according
254 to the individual style used, rather than relying so heavily on
255 helvetica....
256 - applied patch submitted from MrFab (Scott Garner for the irc-challenged)
257 to manipulate window placement via keypress!!! VERY clean and nice
258 work, MrFab!! And useful, to boot! =:)
259 - reworked and applied patch from Alex (dicerandom @ earthlink dot net)
260 for keystroke-resizing of focused windows. Very nice work, Alex!
261 Thanks!! =:)
262 - reworked fork() section for configurator launch--based on Kyle
263 Donaldson's idea.... We now try bbkeysconf, bbkeysConfigGtk, xterm,
264 rxvt--in that order... Thanks Kyle!
265 - new and improved bbkeysConfigC--better functioning, disclaimer added
266 since we trounce on whatever was in ~/.bbkeysrc, added printout of all
267 available keygrabs now....
269 version 0.3.5 --
270 - Doh!! In the midst of the glorious bug-squashing that 0.3.4 offered, I
271 introduced a new bug (just to see if anybody actually uses my code,
272 erm, or something). =:) I was getting rid of all the strdups that I
273 could and in the process forgot to replace it with a working solution
274 for the ExecCommand part of bbkeys's functionality.
276 version 0.3.4 --
277 - updated Image.cc, Image.hh, BaseDisplay.hh to newest (0.61.0) blackbox
278 files to correct bug that reared its ugly little head when running on
279 SPARC boxen Ultra 5 (Bus Error). Thanks to Tibor Simko for reporting
280 this one....
281 - many bug fixes and killing of leaks =:) thanks to memprof and X
282 man-page reading (shudder). I found quite a few memory leaks (some
283 that bbkeys inherited from the XEmacs code) and discovered some
284 undocumented features that may not qualify as leaks, but the net result
285 was that bbkeys could chew up RAM far more than he should. So, the end
286 result is that bbkeys now has far fewer memory problems. I'm pretty
287 sure that there are more buglets to be found, but that's for when I get
288 bored again, I guess. =:) Thanks to Sean 'Shaleh' Perry for this
289 buglet report (and others too). =:)
290 - updated bbkeysconf--couple of fixes for compiling on solaris....
291 - added -lX11 to the link line (should be there anyway)
292 - changed a QString.left to a QString.at function call
293 - thanks to Bo Thorsen for these buglet-reports! =:)
295 version 0.3.3 --
296 - changes and updates (thanks to nyz for the help!!!) to change the
297 communication Atoms between blackbox-0.60.1 and bbkeys (READ: YOU MUST
298 BE RUNNING BBKEYS 3.3 OR LATER IF YOU USE BLACKBOX 0.60.1 OR LATER)...
300 version 0.3.2 --
301 - Weehee!! Get along, little doggie!! Or something.... Thanks to the
302 man, the myth, the legend, the zzzeek-meister, one of those irritating
303 little problems that I've never had enough interest in fixing has been
304 fixed!! You know the one--where you're going merrily along through your
305 day, using bbkeys happily, when all of a sudden, things appear to have
306 just stopped working altogether. And then you start cursing that
307 darned bbkeys author, and in general, have a horrid day thereafter. Well
308 fear no more, little pilgrim--that "feature" has been hunted down and
309 wrestled to the ground, thanks to zzzeek (classic@io.com). The 'feature'
310 was one that I was never worried about--since it followed blackbox's
311 'feature' that did exactly the same thing. What thing is that? Why,
312 I'm so glad you asked. If you hadn't noticed before, if you have your
313 CapsLock, NumLock, or ShiftLock pressed (or any other funky modifier
314 key pressed), bbkeys stopped performing your key-grabs.
316 Well, anywho, I've rambled enough. I'm going to have bbkeys by default
317 work with any modifiers now. If you want bbkeys to work the way it does
318 now and stop grabbing keys when you have Caps/Num/ShiftLock pressed,
319 you'll have to change this line to True in your bbkeys config file
320 ($HOME/bbtools/bbkeys.bb, not ~/.bbkeysrc):
322 bbkeys.honorModifiers: False
325 version 0.3.1 --
326 - *sigh* My next release is going to not even have a UI. =:) Okay, for
327 those in this world who run blackbox on a 12" monitor (*cough* talmage
328 *cough*), or refuse to upgrade because -miniMe is toooooo big (*cough*
329 luqin *cough), =:) bbkeys now has a new run-time switch "-tinyMe" which
330 will cause bbkeys to draw itself at the old 0.2.7 size.
333 version 0.3.0 --
334 - buglet fix in MakeWindow so we don't XMapWindow every time (thanks nyz!)
335 - alrighty then, the -miniMe controversy continues. kns mentioned an idea
336 for a new miniMe look and I like it. _I_ may even use -miniMe now.
337 =:) Here's the thing, I really don't care at all about -miniMe, since
338 I use him at full-size. If somebody wants to code for this to be a
339 configurable option (bbkeys.keyhole.size or bbkeys.keyhole.width, etc.),
340 I'll be more than happy to look at it.
343 version 0.2.8 --
344 - included new Image classes from the latest blackbox source so luqin's
345 and r00tv's styles work. =:) Oh, it'll help other people too, but
346 they pested me first.
347 - added Workspace9, 10, 11, and 12 to keygrabs and configurator
350 version 0.2.7 --
352 - added MaximizeVertical and MaximizeHorizontal key-grabbability. Don't
353 know why it didn't occur to me earlier. =:) nyz did all the hard work
354 4 releases ago.
356 - As of this release of bbkeys, I'm no longer going to support the gtk
357 configurator (unless I get a WHOLE lot of of input to the contrary).
358 I've re-written the gui configurator in qt (thanks to luqin for the
359 beginnings of this) and let me tell you, it is a WHOLE lot easier to
360 work with qt2 than gtk. Much, much cleaner. You doubt?

381 - So, I'm pulling out the bbkeysConfigGtk directory from the bbkeys source
382 tarball and in its place is bbkeysconf. I'll also be regulaly
383 posting rpms of both bbkeys and bbkeysconf as new releases rear their
384 ugly little heads, as well as one last RPM of bbkeysConfigGtk as well
385 as the tarball for bbkeysConfigGtk if anybody just HAS to have the gtk
386 version. =:)
388 - As a result of this, the -no[gtk] for bbkeys will change to -no[qt].
390 - Slight buglet fix for bbkeys when he's in iconic mode to properly set
391 WM_ICON_NAME (Thanks to Mats Jonson for the bug-report. =:) ) so bbkeys
392 shows up as bbkeys and not "Unnamed" in blackbox's Icon list.
396 version 0.2.6 --
397 - Weehee!!! Much bug-squashing release!!!
398 - added ability for bbkeys to minimize itself (right-click on bbkeys's
399 "close" button). This should satisfy those of us who would like to not
400 see the beautiful little application I wrote and just use it. *sniff* =:)
401 - added "-iconic" switch, so bbkeys can be launched in minimized mode.
402 Again, *sniff* Nobody likes my pretty window. =:)
403 - fixed a few undocumented features...
404 -- bbkeys queued up all keystroke combos while external gooey configurator
405 was running and then did then all at once, really quick-like when you
406 came back from the configurator. This tended to annoy my users. =:)
407 -- bbkeys wasn't releasing grabbed keys before it launched the
408 configurator, so the configurator wasn't receiving any of the previously
409 grabbed keys. XSync(False) does wonders. =:)
410 - updated bbkeysConfigGtk to allow configuration of ExecCommand directives.
413 version 0.2.5 --
414 - erm. forgot to write in this for a while. =:)
415 - took out timer implementation for ~/.bbkeysrc changing -- this should fix
416 the abnormally high CPU/MEM usage that bbkeys has shown -- and replaced it
417 with a virtual function call to CheckConfig out of BaseDisplay.cc.
418 - thought about changing the configurators, then changed my mind. =:\
421 version 0.2.3 --
422 - fix for bbkeys not pickup up anything for its frame color/texture
423 (thanks to luqin for the patch. =:) )
426 version 0.2.2 --
427 - added ExecCommand feature so users can define programs to execute with
428 a given keystroke. Syntax is as follows:
430 KeyToGrab(F1), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(PROGRAM)
432 where PROGRAM is whatever you want to launch. PROGRAM must be in your PATH
433 if it is not given with a path. (duh) =:)
435 - improved the logic (hopefully) surrounding resource loading. Took
436 loadKeygrabs out of reconfigure() (which gets hit on every Expose event)
437 which should improve bbkeys's performance. Also, apparently I've never
438 put in the code that I thought I did which checks ~/.bbkeysrc for changes.
439 That should work correctly now.
443 version 0.2.1 --
444 - fixed several style issues.
446 - fixed the bug with having two "-n" switches. =:) now, "-no[gtk]" is the
447 way to tell bbkeys to launch the xterm-based conflagurator
449 - re-coded bbkeys' internals (made them much more intuitive and easy to read).
450 bbkeys uses 3 basic objects: Window's, GEOM(etry objects), and Pixmap
451 objects. The Windows are physical units of space that X communicates with.
452 The GEOM objects are pretty self-explanatory, x, y, height, width. And
453 the Pixmap objects contain the image that is mapped onto the window itself.
454 It goes like this:
455 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
456 Windows: GEOMs: Pixmaps: resource->objects and what
457 resources bbkeys uses for them
458 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
459 win_title geom_title pix_title label.texture
460 window.label.focus
461 win_back geom_back pix_back frame.texture
462 window.title.focus
463 win_closeBtn geom_closeBtn pix_closeBtn button.texture
464 window.button.focus
465 win_configBtn geom_configBtn pix_configBtn button.texture
466 window.button.focus
467 pix_pressedBtn button.texture_pressed
468 window.button.pressed
469 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
471 - fixed style files in data/ (silly me, I forgot to change them over from
472 bbpager's style files. ) Extra-special thanks to sourceo for pointing
473 this little bit to me and reminding me to put it in the ChangeLog =:)
476 version 0.2.0 --
477 - got rid of all the old bbws code base from bbkeys and ported the whole
478 darned thing to kns's bbpager-0.2.5-alpha code base.
481 version 0.1.4 --
483 - added "-mini-Me" switch =:) for those people *cough* sissies *cough* who
484 complain about bbkeys' size. So size DOES matter.... erm, anyway, if
485 launched with the "-mini-Me" option, bbkeys will draw a cute little window
486 10x10 in size (or whatever I feel like, dangit) containing just the button
487 to launch the configurator, instead of the regular, full-blown window. No
488 exit button for YOU! =:) Let me know if this doesn't suit you....
490 - improved documentation of sorts. Ugly habit, this documentation stuff. If
491 you look in README, you'll now see all of the commands that bbkeys will
492 think about obeying. If it feels like it. And if you ask really, really
493 nicely.
