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

384 734 lines of code versus 1588 makes me a happy, happy SE. =:)
386 - So, I'm pulling out the bbkeysConfigGtk directory from the bbkeys source
387 tarball and in its place is bbkeysconf. I'll also be regulaly
388 posting rpms of both bbkeys and bbkeysconf as new releases rear their
389 ugly little heads, as well as one last RPM of bbkeysConfigGtk as well
390 as the tarball for bbkeysConfigGtk if anybody just HAS to have the gtk
391 version. =:)
393 - As a result of this, the -no[gtk] for bbkeys will change to -no[qt].
395 - Slight buglet fix for bbkeys when he's in iconic mode to properly set
396 WM_ICON_NAME (Thanks to Mats Jonson for the bug-report. =:) ) so bbkeys
397 shows up as bbkeys and not "Unnamed" in blackbox's Icon list.
401 version 0.2.6 --
402 - Weehee!!! Much bug-squashing release!!!
403 - added ability for bbkeys to minimize itself (right-click on bbkeys's
404 "close" button). This should satisfy those of us who would like to not
405 see the beautiful little application I wrote and just use it. *sniff* =:)
406 - added "-iconic" switch, so bbkeys can be launched in minimized mode.
407 Again, *sniff* Nobody likes my pretty window. =:)
408 - fixed a few undocumented features...
409 -- bbkeys queued up all keystroke combos while external gooey configurator
410 was running and then did then all at once, really quick-like when you
411 came back from the configurator. This tended to annoy my users. =:)
412 -- bbkeys wasn't releasing grabbed keys before it launched the
413 configurator, so the configurator wasn't receiving any of the previously
414 grabbed keys. XSync(False) does wonders. =:)
415 - updated bbkeysConfigGtk to allow configuration of ExecCommand directives.
418 version 0.2.5 --
419 - erm. forgot to write in this for a while. =:)
420 - took out timer implementation for ~/.bbkeysrc changing -- this should fix
421 the abnormally high CPU/MEM usage that bbkeys has shown -- and replaced it
422 with a virtual function call to CheckConfig out of BaseDisplay.cc.
423 - thought about changing the configurators, then changed my mind. =:\
426 version 0.2.3 --
427 - fix for bbkeys not pickup up anything for its frame color/texture
428 (thanks to luqin for the patch. =:) )
431 version 0.2.2 --
432 - added ExecCommand feature so users can define programs to execute with
433 a given keystroke. Syntax is as follows:
435 KeyToGrab(F1), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(PROGRAM)
437 where PROGRAM is whatever you want to launch. PROGRAM must be in your PATH
438 if it is not given with a path. (duh) =:)
440 - improved the logic (hopefully) surrounding resource loading. Took
441 loadKeygrabs out of reconfigure() (which gets hit on every Expose event)
442 which should improve bbkeys's performance. Also, apparently I've never
443 put in the code that I thought I did which checks ~/.bbkeysrc for changes.
444 That should work correctly now.
448 version 0.2.1 --
449 - fixed several style issues.
451 - fixed the bug with having two "-n" switches. =:) now, "-no[gtk]" is the
452 way to tell bbkeys to launch the xterm-based conflagurator
454 - re-coded bbkeys' internals (made them much more intuitive and easy to read).
455 bbkeys uses 3 basic objects: Window's, GEOM(etry objects), and Pixmap
456 objects. The Windows are physical units of space that X communicates with.
457 The GEOM objects are pretty self-explanatory, x, y, height, width. And
458 the Pixmap objects contain the image that is mapped onto the window itself.
459 It goes like this:
460 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
461 Windows: GEOMs: Pixmaps: resource->objects and what
462 resources bbkeys uses for them
463 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
464 win_title geom_title pix_title label.texture
465 window.label.focus
466 win_back geom_back pix_back frame.texture
467 window.title.focus
468 win_closeBtn geom_closeBtn pix_closeBtn button.texture
469 window.button.focus
470 win_configBtn geom_configBtn pix_configBtn button.texture
471 window.button.focus
472 pix_pressedBtn button.texture_pressed
473 window.button.pressed
474 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
476 - fixed style files in data/ (silly me, I forgot to change them over from
477 bbpager's style files. ) Extra-special thanks to sourceo for pointing
478 this little bit to me and reminding me to put it in the ChangeLog =:)
481 version 0.2.0 --
482 - got rid of all the old bbws code base from bbkeys and ported the whole
483 darned thing to kns's bbpager-0.2.5-alpha code base.
486 version 0.1.4 --
488 - added "-mini-Me" switch =:) for those people *cough* sissies *cough* who
489 complain about bbkeys' size. So size DOES matter.... erm, anyway, if
490 launched with the "-mini-Me" option, bbkeys will draw a cute little window
491 10x10 in size (or whatever I feel like, dangit) containing just the button
492 to launch the configurator, instead of the regular, full-blown window. No
493 exit button for YOU! =:) Let me know if this doesn't suit you....
495 - improved documentation of sorts. Ugly habit, this documentation stuff. If
496 you look in README, you'll now see all of the commands that bbkeys will
497 think about obeying. If it feels like it. And if you ask really, really
498 nicely.
