This did not happen all the time. It seems like you need to have a
container which is in stacking/tabbing mode on the screen which
is being reconfigured. (when doing xrandr --output VGA1 --off for
example)
Sometimes, it may happen that the focus is "nowhere" and thus the
user is stuck. This was often the case with opera, sometimes with
pcmanfm. See ticket #118.
We now use the virtual screen’s size/position instead of the X root
window for the grabwin (grabwin = the area in which the pointer may
move when resizing).
This is necessary because otherwise the window into which the
pointer is warped still is at its old position, so that the pointer
will effectively be warped onto the wrong screen in case of moving
a window to another screen.
Before this fix, you could go upwards and select the screen which
was at the rightmost because it also was the one topmost (if all
screen’s top position is equal).
Please test this! Plug in screens, unplug them, use your video projector,
change resolutions, etc.
To use the assignments, use the following syntax:
workspace <number> [screen <screen>] [name]
Where screen can be one of:
<number> (It is not provided that these numbers stay constant, so use with care)
<x>x<y> (Coordinates where the screen starts, so 1280 will be fine to match the
screen right of the main screen if your main screen is 1280 pixels
width. However, 1281 will not match)
<x>
x<y>
Some examples follow:
workspace 1 screen 0
workspace 1 screen 1
workspace 1 screen 1280x0
workspace 2 screen 1280
workspace 3 screen x0
workspace 3 screen 1 www
workspace 4 screen 0 mail
Use "bindsym" instead of "bind". You have to use the names of keys
as in xmodmap. To get a list of currently bounud symbols, use
xmodmap -pke
Technical quirk: Xlib generated MappingNotify events upon
XkbMapNotify events (from XKB, as the name says). XCB does not yet
have support for XKB, thus we need to select and handle the event
by ourself. Hopefully, this will change in the future.
