1 version 0.8.5 --
3 - fix bug in main.cc (| rather than ||). Thanks to Roman Neuhauser!
4 [vanRijn]
6 - fix bug in bbkeys.hh--increasing MaxInstructions to 100 for cthulhain
7 [vanRijn]
9 - fix in bbkeys.cc -- XUngrabKey changed to use same call to find what
10 screen we're on as the XGrabKey call
11 [vanRijn]
13 version 0.8.4 --
15 - add a sanity check to the removeWindow function. Basically, blackbox tells
16 bbkeys when a window disappears, or is removed. If the window being
17 removed was the last window blackbox specified as having the input focus,
18 bbkeys now resets what it thinks has the input focus. This prevents the
19 bug reproducable by iconifying the last window on a workspace, and then
20 trying to maximize "nothing". [xOr]
22 - cleaning up build again. Rather than having 200 -DDEFINE_ statements
23 in our compile lines, we use config.h (like normal people). =:) This
24 very well may break stuff, but it looks good thus far.... [vanRijn]
26 - adding AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to stop the ever-annoying "here, let me run
27 aclocal for you again!!" idiocy of automake and friends [vanRijn]
29 - fixing things for multi-head displays--replacing
30 "getScreenInfo(0)->getRootWindow()," with
31 "getCurrentScreenInfo()->getRootWindow()," So yes, bbkeys now has
32 multi-head support. Sort of. You need to have a separate instance of
33 bbkeys running against each head ("bbkeys -display :1"), etc. cat
34 complaints >> /dev/null.... [vanRijn]
36 - removing kludgy C command-line configurator with much-improved perl script
37 from Damien Tougas (thanks!!!) [vanRijn]
39 - changing bbkeys.cc to look for bbkeysconf.pl rather than bbkeysConfigC
40 [vanRijn]
42 - removing showAllWorkspaces from bbkeys.{bb,nobb} config file and making it
43 an additional keybinding. This allows two different ways of showing all
44 open windows and navigating through them--one keybinding for the regular
45 "NextWindow" variety (as in previous versions of bbkeys, and another
46 keybinding, "NextWindowAllWorkspaces", that pops up the window list for
47 navigation for windows open on all workspaces. [vanRijn]
49 - bugfix.... previously, bbkeys would ignore windows that had no name. We
50 now follow blackbox's lead (and follow blackbox's code) and create a name
51 for it, "Unnamed". Thanks to Damien Terrier for this bug report.
52 [vanRijn]
54 - patch for allowing an alternate keybinding config file (thanks to Scott
55 Moynes!) [vanRijn]
57 - sync with blackbox for 0.61.2--attributes element Atom has changed to now
58 include decoration state so that ToggleDecor() works. [vanRijn]
60 - including patch from Sergey Vlasov for allowing use of Meta and Hyper
61 modifiers, also try to get the correct Num_Lock and Scroll_Lock modifier
62 mask from the X server rather than hard-coded. I've not had tons of time
63 to play with this, though I have made sure that it works on my laptop.
64 =:) [vanRijn]
66 - fix for RPM-building process... install gzipped man pages by default on
67 RPM-based systems. Thanks to Darryll for the bug report!! =:) [vanRijn]
69 - removing bbkeysconf and bbkeysConfigGtk *shudder* apps from
70 chain-launching mode. These babies are dead and let's just move on
71 folks.... By keeping them in there, I'm afraid people will think it's
72 okay to use them. It's not. They're WAY out of date. Also, thanks to a
73 smarter way of handling key grabbing configuration in bbconf, we don't
74 have to hang bbkeys while keygrabs are being configured. [vanRijn]
76 - adding logic to bbkeys to pass configurators correct command-line
77 arguments so we load the rc-file that our user is running bbkeys with.
78 [vanRijn]
80 - long-overdue documentation finessing, thanks to Roman Neuhauser for the
81 patches and suggestions! =:) Also, adding CVS version id's to all source
82 and documentation files, woot! =:) [vanRijn]
84 - cross-compilation patch from Bo Thorsen--moves -lX11 to LIBS [vanRijn]
86 version 0.8.3 --
88 - changing external app launch order--we go bbconf, bbkeysconf,
89 bbkeysConfigGtk, rxvt, xterm... *phew*
91 - fix in stackmenu.cc (hopefully we got it this time?) to fix segfaults
92 on some platforms due to screwy X stuff. *shudder*
95 version 0.8.2 --
97 - patched for matrix-style workspace navigation, updating the 0.3.5 patch written
98 by Markus Ottenbacher (m.ottenbacher@gmx.de) found at
99 http://homepages.compuserve.de/meottenbacher/. Include UpWorkspace,
100 DownWorkspace, LeftWorkspace and RightWorkspace as WithAction() in your
101 ~/.bbkeysrc, and enable the arrangement in rows and columns in your
102 bbkeys.bb as well as in bbpager.bb (usually placed under
103 /usr/local/share/bbtools/) to use this functionality. Bill Beal <beal@tunl.duke.edu>
105 - fixed a bug due to an improper test for next and prev (test for key
106 release). next and prev might just be 0, so we can't do if (next)
107 because the correct index of the grabSet.KeyMap might be 0 for either
108 prevwindow or nextwindow keybinding and it would fail the test and not
109 release the keyboard and not lower the window menu.
111 - fixed a bug for the window list popup menu--sticky window bug where
112 sticky windows would show up twice on their originating windows but not
113 at all on the workspace that you switched from immediately prior to
114 switching to the window where the sticky window is "homed"... =:)
116 - xOr's new "showAllWorkspaces" option lets you see every window that you
117 have on any workspace with an indicator as to what workspace that
118 window is living on.... Very sweet code.
120 - fix for popup window menu... Added "always on top" code so that it
121 stays at top of window stack and won't let blackbox hide it with any
122 other window (as occurs when auto-raise is enabled in blackbox).
124 version 0.8.1 --
125 - bug fixin's--fixed annoying "un-iconify" feature when bbkeys did window
126 cycling, thanks to halt, all else for pointing that one out.... Also,
127 removed REPORT struct from resource.hh which only had auto_raise in it
128 (not sure why it's been there, un-used all this time anyway)....
130 - changed all "friend .*$" to "friend class .*$" to comply with more
131 strict gcc versions.... Thanks to Jan Schaumann for this!
133 - okay. stacked window cycling tweaks. As a visual clue for the
134 stacked-Cycling folks, we now set focus on cycled-through windows as we
135 go, raising the window selected at the end of the cycle. This sounds
136 more confusing than it is. This makes it possible to separate the new
137 and improved cycling method from the popup menu. Oh, and hitting Escape
138 in the middle of cycling will return focus to the window that you
139 started from....
141 - I've made it possible to turn off the visual menu for the new-and-improved
142 stacked cycling method. To do this, just put
143 "bbkeys.menu.showCycleMenu: False" (without the quotes, duh) into your
144 ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.bb or ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.nobb file. This will let
145 bbkeys still use the new method, will set focus as you cycle through the
146 stack, but won't actually raise the window you want until you tell it
147 to by releasing your keys or hitting <Enter>, and won't show the popup
148 window list and cycle through the entries as you go. Again, harder to
149 explain than it is to use....
151 - including README, ChangeLog, and AUTHORS in installed files list
153 - including first man page files (W00T!!) =:). Thanks to Jan Schaumann,
154 bbkeys now has man pages, baybee. Installing now and including files
155 in bbkeys.spec
157 version 0.8.0 --
158 - BIG changes!!! w00T!!! There's some very significant improvements in
159 this version, and as such, I'm calling this version 0.8.0 for various
160 reasons....
161 1) I feel like it
162 2) I'm thinking we're about "there", and 0.8.0 sounds like more of a
163 non-beta product than 0.3.8
164 3) I feel like it =:)
166 - xOr (see below) has done some majorly good coding with bbkeys. He's
167 implemented a different window-cycling scheme that's more
168 "Windows"-like (think <alt+tab> popup window with list of things you're
169 cycling through)... Verrrry slick. Umm. Did I say Verrrrry?
171 Why, yes I did. You are just going to have to see it to believe it. Blackbox
172 has just again become my favorite window manager for X, with the help
173 xOr has given to me. The window cycling methodology has changed, and
174 believe me, this is a change for the better. There's now two methods
175 of window cycling--both use the same keybindings, so don't get yer
176 panties tied in knots. xOr has implemented a newer, better "old-style"
177 window cycling, called linear cycling. It's basically what
178 blackbox/bbkeys has done up until this point, but with a few
179 significant improvements. But the really exciting new feature in this
180 release of bbkeys is the other way--a "stacked" cycling method. It
181 makes much more sense than the old way. And it's purtier, because you
182 can see what you're window-changing to before you actually go there.
183 And when you hit <alt+tab> (example keybinding--you can have it be
184 whatever you want it to be), it goes back to the window you were on
185 right before this one.
187 It's way cool, uber-neato, and excellently implemented. I'll expand on
188 this more in README, so look there for more details.
190 - xOr has also fixed a bug in LinkedList.cc (as posted to the blackbox
191 mailing list) that affected how the windows were put into the cycling
192 stack.
194 - I'm considering xOr a co-developer now (as long as he has the time and
195 desire, of course), but we've a project available on sourceforge.net at
196 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=32563 . Of course, this means
197 that all the usual sourceforge advantages are there, like CVS access,
198 etc. The project is bbconf.sourceforge.net for the time being, so
199 CVS access looks like this:
201 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
202 <hit enter for password>
203 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbkeys
205 I've imported the bbkeys tree (0.8.0 will be pulled directly from it),
206 and I've also imported a bbconf module. bbconf will be the new
207 all-in-one blackbox configuration utility (if I get some help). =:)
208 To get read-only access to it, do this...
210 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
211 <hit enter for password>
212 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbconf
214 - adding ToggleDecor as an option to toggle ummmm, window decor.... (duh).
215 *** BIG HONKING NOTE ***
216 This doesn't currently work. =:\ The code is in bbkeys, but can't
217 actually do anything until blackbox is changed to tell us what the
218 decorated state of the window is. Hopefully this will be included in
219 blackbox soon....
221 - changing order of configurator launch again, thanks to a bug report
222 from David Lawrence Ramsey (I had " black" instead of "black")--so we
223 now try rxvt before xterm, and rxvt should actually work now....
225 - hopefully fixing strcasecmp issue for AIX boxen--it's in strings.h
226 instead of string.h. Adding check for strings.h.... PLEASE let me
227 know if this doesn't actually fix anything. I'd like to put this guy
228 to bed....
230 - Applying patches from Ben Jansens <xor at x-o-r dot net>. His comments
231 are below....
233 I've removed all the functionality from the wminterface class that bbkeys
234 does not use, and reorganised the header files for wminterface and bbkeys,
235 adding comments for all of the class members. With this patch, bbkeys not
236 longer calls the blackbox cycling routines, but maintains its own list of
237 windows, and cycles them itself. One thing to note is that the cycling does
238 not occur in the same order as the buttons on the toolbar cycle. I personally
239 dont think this will be a big issue, and i think the new way is nicer. When a
240 new window opens, its added to the list right *after* the focused window,
241 so that hitting PrevWindow would take you back to the window that was
242 previously focused.
244 ....
246 * VERY nice work, Ben. Thanks for your work! *
248 - Bug squashing and fixing galore... Thanks again to Ben for pointing
249 these out. The issue was that we were doing stuff to windows without
250 making sure the window wasn't our root window. Doh! So now we make
251 sure 1) we have a focus_window and 2) that focus_window isn't
252 PointerRoot. Hopefully that will do the trick....
258 version 0.3.6 --
259 - Fixed slight bug in font-loading for label.font and frame.font. As
260 things were, we only looked for TitleFont (a bbtools-specific directive
261 which most probably isn't in most style files), a bbkeys-specific font
262 directive (which was less likely to be found). I added to the search
263 criteria toolbar.font, which for sure will be in every
264 toolbox/bbconf-generated style file and is most probably in every other
265 style file as well. Long story short, fonts should now load according
266 to the individual style used, rather than relying so heavily on
267 helvetica....
268 - applied patch submitted from MrFab (Scott Garner for the irc-challenged)
269 to manipulate window placement via keypress!!! VERY clean and nice
270 work, MrFab!! And useful, to boot! =:)
271 - reworked and applied patch from Alex (dicerandom @ earthlink dot net)
272 for keystroke-resizing of focused windows. Very nice work, Alex!
273 Thanks!! =:)
274 - reworked fork() section for configurator launch--based on Kyle
275 Donaldson's idea.... We now try bbkeysconf, bbkeysConfigGtk, xterm,
276 rxvt--in that order... Thanks Kyle!
277 - new and improved bbkeysConfigC--better functioning, disclaimer added
278 since we trounce on whatever was in ~/.bbkeysrc, added printout of all
279 available keygrabs now....
281 version 0.3.5 --
282 - Doh!! In the midst of the glorious bug-squashing that 0.3.4 offered, I
283 introduced a new bug (just to see if anybody actually uses my code,
284 erm, or something). =:) I was getting rid of all the strdups that I
285 could and in the process forgot to replace it with a working solution
286 for the ExecCommand part of bbkeys's functionality.
288 version 0.3.4 --
289 - updated Image.cc, Image.hh, BaseDisplay.hh to newest (0.61.0) blackbox
290 files to correct bug that reared its ugly little head when running on
291 SPARC boxen Ultra 5 (Bus Error). Thanks to Tibor Simko for reporting
292 this one....
293 - many bug fixes and killing of leaks =:) thanks to memprof and X
294 man-page reading (shudder). I found quite a few memory leaks (some
295 that bbkeys inherited from the XEmacs code) and discovered some
296 undocumented features that may not qualify as leaks, but the net result
297 was that bbkeys could chew up RAM far more than he should. So, the end
298 result is that bbkeys now has far fewer memory problems. I'm pretty
299 sure that there are more buglets to be found, but that's for when I get
300 bored again, I guess. =:) Thanks to Sean 'Shaleh' Perry for this
301 buglet report (and others too). =:)
302 - updated bbkeysconf--couple of fixes for compiling on solaris....
303 - added -lX11 to the link line (should be there anyway)
304 - changed a QString.left to a QString.at function call
305 - thanks to Bo Thorsen for these buglet-reports! =:)
307 version 0.3.3 --
308 - changes and updates (thanks to nyz for the help!!!) to change the
309 communication Atoms between blackbox-0.60.1 and bbkeys (READ: YOU MUST
310 BE RUNNING BBKEYS 3.3 OR LATER IF YOU USE BLACKBOX 0.60.1 OR LATER)...
312 version 0.3.2 --
313 - Weehee!! Get along, little doggie!! Or something.... Thanks to the
314 man, the myth, the legend, the zzzeek-meister, one of those irritating
315 little problems that I've never had enough interest in fixing has been
316 fixed!! You know the one--where you're going merrily along through your
317 day, using bbkeys happily, when all of a sudden, things appear to have
318 just stopped working altogether. And then you start cursing that
319 darned bbkeys author, and in general, have a horrid day thereafter. Well
320 fear no more, little pilgrim--that "feature" has been hunted down and
321 wrestled to the ground, thanks to zzzeek (classic@io.com). The 'feature'
322 was one that I was never worried about--since it followed blackbox's
323 'feature' that did exactly the same thing. What thing is that? Why,
324 I'm so glad you asked. If you hadn't noticed before, if you have your
325 CapsLock, NumLock, or ShiftLock pressed (or any other funky modifier
326 key pressed), bbkeys stopped performing your key-grabs.
328 Well, anywho, I've rambled enough. I'm going to have bbkeys by default
329 work with any modifiers now. If you want bbkeys to work the way it does
330 now and stop grabbing keys when you have Caps/Num/ShiftLock pressed,
331 you'll have to change this line to True in your bbkeys config file
332 ($HOME/bbtools/bbkeys.bb, not ~/.bbkeysrc):
334 bbkeys.honorModifiers: False
337 version 0.3.1 --
338 - *sigh* My next release is going to not even have a UI. =:) Okay, for
339 those in this world who run blackbox on a 12" monitor (*cough* talmage
340 *cough*), or refuse to upgrade because -miniMe is toooooo big (*cough*
341 luqin *cough), =:) bbkeys now has a new run-time switch "-tinyMe" which
342 will cause bbkeys to draw itself at the old 0.2.7 size.
345 version 0.3.0 --
346 - buglet fix in MakeWindow so we don't XMapWindow every time (thanks nyz!)
347 - alrighty then, the -miniMe controversy continues. kns mentioned an idea
348 for a new miniMe look and I like it. _I_ may even use -miniMe now.
349 =:) Here's the thing, I really don't care at all about -miniMe, since
350 I use him at full-size. If somebody wants to code for this to be a
351 configurable option (bbkeys.keyhole.size or bbkeys.keyhole.width, etc.),
352 I'll be more than happy to look at it.
355 version 0.2.8 --
356 - included new Image classes from the latest blackbox source so luqin's
357 and r00tv's styles work. =:) Oh, it'll help other people too, but
358 they pested me first.
359 - added Workspace9, 10, 11, and 12 to keygrabs and configurator
362 version 0.2.7 --
364 - added MaximizeVertical and MaximizeHorizontal key-grabbability. Don't
365 know why it didn't occur to me earlier. =:) nyz did all the hard work
366 4 releases ago.
368 - As of this release of bbkeys, I'm no longer going to support the gtk
369 configurator (unless I get a WHOLE lot of of input to the contrary).
370 I've re-written the gui configurator in qt (thanks to luqin for the
371 beginnings of this) and let me tell you, it is a WHOLE lot easier to
372 work with qt2 than gtk. Much, much cleaner. You doubt?

393 - So, I'm pulling out the bbkeysConfigGtk directory from the bbkeys source
394 tarball and in its place is bbkeysconf. I'll also be regulaly
395 posting rpms of both bbkeys and bbkeysconf as new releases rear their
396 ugly little heads, as well as one last RPM of bbkeysConfigGtk as well
397 as the tarball for bbkeysConfigGtk if anybody just HAS to have the gtk
398 version. =:)
400 - As a result of this, the -no[gtk] for bbkeys will change to -no[qt].
402 - Slight buglet fix for bbkeys when he's in iconic mode to properly set
403 WM_ICON_NAME (Thanks to Mats Jonson for the bug-report. =:) ) so bbkeys
404 shows up as bbkeys and not "Unnamed" in blackbox's Icon list.
408 version 0.2.6 --
409 - Weehee!!! Much bug-squashing release!!!
410 - added ability for bbkeys to minimize itself (right-click on bbkeys's
411 "close" button). This should satisfy those of us who would like to not
412 see the beautiful little application I wrote and just use it. *sniff* =:)
413 - added "-iconic" switch, so bbkeys can be launched in minimized mode.
414 Again, *sniff* Nobody likes my pretty window. =:)
415 - fixed a few undocumented features...
416 -- bbkeys queued up all keystroke combos while external gooey configurator
417 was running and then did then all at once, really quick-like when you
418 came back from the configurator. This tended to annoy my users. =:)
419 -- bbkeys wasn't releasing grabbed keys before it launched the
420 configurator, so the configurator wasn't receiving any of the previously
421 grabbed keys. XSync(False) does wonders. =:)
422 - updated bbkeysConfigGtk to allow configuration of ExecCommand directives.
425 version 0.2.5 --
426 - erm. forgot to write in this for a while. =:)
427 - took out timer implementation for ~/.bbkeysrc changing -- this should fix
428 the abnormally high CPU/MEM usage that bbkeys has shown -- and replaced it
429 with a virtual function call to CheckConfig out of BaseDisplay.cc.
430 - thought about changing the configurators, then changed my mind. =:\
433 version 0.2.3 --
434 - fix for bbkeys not pickup up anything for its frame color/texture
435 (thanks to luqin for the patch. =:) )
438 version 0.2.2 --
439 - added ExecCommand feature so users can define programs to execute with
440 a given keystroke. Syntax is as follows:
442 KeyToGrab(F1), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(PROGRAM)
444 where PROGRAM is whatever you want to launch. PROGRAM must be in your PATH
445 if it is not given with a path. (duh) =:)
447 - improved the logic (hopefully) surrounding resource loading. Took
448 loadKeygrabs out of reconfigure() (which gets hit on every Expose event)
449 which should improve bbkeys's performance. Also, apparently I've never
450 put in the code that I thought I did which checks ~/.bbkeysrc for changes.
451 That should work correctly now.
455 version 0.2.1 --
456 - fixed several style issues.
458 - fixed the bug with having two "-n" switches. =:) now, "-no[gtk]" is the
459 way to tell bbkeys to launch the xterm-based conflagurator
461 - re-coded bbkeys' internals (made them much more intuitive and easy to read).
462 bbkeys uses 3 basic objects: Window's, GEOM(etry objects), and Pixmap
463 objects. The Windows are physical units of space that X communicates with.
464 The GEOM objects are pretty self-explanatory, x, y, height, width. And
465 the Pixmap objects contain the image that is mapped onto the window itself.
466 It goes like this:
467 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
468 Windows: GEOMs: Pixmaps: resource->objects and what
469 resources bbkeys uses for them
470 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
471 win_title geom_title pix_title label.texture
472 window.label.focus
473 win_back geom_back pix_back frame.texture
474 window.title.focus
475 win_closeBtn geom_closeBtn pix_closeBtn button.texture
476 window.button.focus
477 win_configBtn geom_configBtn pix_configBtn button.texture
478 window.button.focus
479 pix_pressedBtn button.texture_pressed
480 window.button.pressed
481 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
483 - fixed style files in data/ (silly me, I forgot to change them over from
484 bbpager's style files. ) Extra-special thanks to sourceo for pointing
485 this little bit to me and reminding me to put it in the ChangeLog =:)
488 version 0.2.0 --
489 - got rid of all the old bbws code base from bbkeys and ported the whole
490 darned thing to kns's bbpager-0.2.5-alpha code base.
493 version 0.1.4 --
495 - added "-mini-Me" switch =:) for those people *cough* sissies *cough* who
496 complain about bbkeys' size. So size DOES matter.... erm, anyway, if
497 launched with the "-mini-Me" option, bbkeys will draw a cute little window
498 10x10 in size (or whatever I feel like, dangit) containing just the button
499 to launch the configurator, instead of the regular, full-blown window. No
500 exit button for YOU! =:) Let me know if this doesn't suit you....
502 - improved documentation of sorts. Ugly habit, this documentation stuff. If
