With example config:
mode "a_mode" {
bindcode 27 --release mode "default"
}
bindsym $mod+r mode "a_mode"
The first time $mod+r is pressed "a_mode" is activated like normal. When
r (bindcode 27) is pressed to exit the mode:
- On the KeyPress event the corresponding bind->release is correctly
marked as B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS.
- On the KeyRelease event the command 'mode "default"' is executed but
bind->release is still B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS since they are only
reset on KeyPress events.
The second time $mod+r is pressed and "a_mode" is activated and when the
r key is released the 'mode "default"' is executed even though the mods
are not matching since bind->release == B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS.
This still doesn't catch 2 cases:
1. When the order is: press $mod -> press r -> release $mod -> release
r. Since 'r' is released without any modifiers the binding matches.
2. With:
mode "resize" {
bindsym --release r mode "default"
}
bindsym r mode "resize"
This is arguably correct: on the KeyPress event we switch to the mode and
on the KeyRelease we switch back.
Before this commit, get_binding() exited on the first match without
marking the rest --release bindings with B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS.
Similarly, once it found a --release binding during a KeyPress event it
would stop searching for a matching key press binding.
Example config, placing the --release line first will trigger the second
problem:
# i3 config file (v4)
bindsym Super_L exec notify-send "press"
# or
# bindcode 133 exec notify-send "press"
bindsym --release Super_L exec notify-send "release"
# or
# bindcode --release 133 exec notify-send "release"
Fixes#2733
From 548d74015c:
> 1. press $mod, press x, release x, release $mod
> 2. press $mod, press x, release $mod, release x
case (2.) didn't work, now it should be fixed.
This deals with (admittedly somewhat misbehaving) clients which
use XSetInputFocus to take focus, but then don't properly restore
focus. This has been observed with TK apps, but also, e.g., Steam.

To easily reproduce:
1. Open 2 floating windows
2. Focus (with `focus_follows_mouse`) the one behind
3. Move the mouse to the other workspace
4. Move the mouse inside the previous workspace (without it even
touching a window)
The front page and docs landing page emphasize documentation, but the user guide looks like it hasn't been updated since 2013. It seems from the history of the file that this number is misleading. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
