grabkeys: Avoid missing events when a keysym maps to multiple keycodes It's not uncommon for one keysym to map to multiple keycodes. For example, the "play" button on my keyboard sends keycode 172, but my bluetooth headphones send keycode 208, both of which map back to XF86AudioPlay: % xmodmap -pke | grep XF86AudioPlay keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay XF86AudioPause XF86AudioPlay XF86AudioPause keycode 208 = XF86AudioPlay NoSymbol XF86AudioPlay keycode 215 = XF86AudioPlay NoSymbol XF86AudioPlay This is a problem because the current code only grabs a single one of these keycodes, which means that events for any other keycode also mapping to the bound keysym will not be handled by dwm. In my case, this means that binding XF86AudioPlay does the right thing and correctly handles my keyboard's keys, but does nothing on my headphones. I'm not the only person affected by this, there are other reports[0]. In order to fix this, we look at the mappings between keycodes and keysyms at grabkeys() time and pick out all matching keycodes rather than just the first one. The keypress() side of this doesn't need any changes because the keycode gets converted back to a canonical keysym before any action is taken. 0: https://github.com/cdown/dwm/issues/11 Ref. https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/89f9905714c1c1b2e8b09986dfbeca15b68d8af8.html

Revert "Remove dmenumon variable" This reverts commit c2b748e7931e5f28984efc236f9b1a212dbc65e8. Revert back this change. It seems to not be an edge-case anymore since multiple users have asked about this new behaviour now. Ref. https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/ba56fe9fea0a28d8184a727a987836a0903e2682.html

remove workaround for a crash with color emojis on some systems, now fixed in libXft 2.3.5 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/blob/libXft-2.3.5/NEWS bump version to 6.4 Ref. https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/970f37697358574e127019eb0ee2f5725ec05ce0.html https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/50ad171eea9db5ccb36fce2592e047c3282975ff.html Consequently the color emoji patch has been inverted into no color emoji, keeping the workaround in the code base for those that are on systems with older versions of the Xft library.

Remove dmenumon variable Reasoning: Since 2011 dmenu has been capable of working out which monitor currently has focus in a Xinerama setup, making the use of the -m flag more or less redundant. This is easily demonstrated by using dmenu in any other window manager. There used to be a nodmenu patch that provided these changes: https://git.suckless.org/sites/commit/ed68e3629de4ef2ca2d3f8893a79fb570b4c0cbc.html but this was removed on the basis that it was very easy to work out and apply manually if needed. The proposal here is to remove this dependency from dwm. The mechanism of the dmenumon variable could be provided via a patch if need be. The edge case scenario that dmenu does not handle on its own, and the effect of removing this mechanism, is that if the user trigger focusmon via keybindings to change focus to another monitor that has no clients, then dmenu will open on the monitor containing the window with input focus (or the monitor with the mouse cursor if no windows have input focus). If this edge case is important to cover then this can be addressed by setting input focus to selmon->barwin in the focus function if there is no client to give focus to (rather than giving focus back to the root window).

Make floating windows spawn within the monitor's window area This is a follow-up on this thread: https://lists.suckless.org/hackers/2208/18462.html The orginal code had constraints such that if a window's starting attributes (position and size) were to place the window outside of the edges of the monitor, then the window would be moved into view at the closest monitor edge. There was an exception to this where if a top bar is used then the window should not obscure the bar if present, which meant to place the window within the window area instead. The proposed change here makes it the general rule that floating windows should spawn within the window area rather than within the monitor area. This makes it simple and consistent with no exceptions and it makes the intention of the code clear. This has the benefit of making the behaviour consistent regardless of whether the user is using a top bar or a bottom bar. Additionally this will have an effect on patches that modify the size of the window area. For example if the insets patch is used to reserve space on the left hand side of the monitor for a dock or a vertical bar then new floating clients will not obscure that area.

code-style: simplify some checks main change here is making the `zoom()` logic saner. the rest of the changes are just small stuff which accumulated on my local branch. pop() must not be called with NULL. and `zoom()` achieves this, but in a very (unnecessarily) complicated way: if c == NULL then nexttiled() will return NULL as well, so we enter this branch: if (c == nexttiled(selmon->clients)) in here the !c check fails and the function returns before calling pop() if (!c || !(c = nexttiled(c->next))) return; however, none of this was needed. we can simply return early if c was NULL. Also `c` is set to `selmon->sel` so we can use `c` in the first check instead which makes things shorter. Ref. https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/5e76e7e21da042c493c59235ca82d7275f20a7e4.html

2022-04-26manage: Make sure c->isfixed is applied before floating checksbakkeby
Commit 8806b6e23793 ("manage: propertynotify: Reduce cost of unused size hints") mistakenly removed an early size hints update that's needed to populate c->isfixed for floating checks at manage() time. This resulted in fixed (size hint min dimensions == max dimensions) subset of windows not floating when they should. See https://lists.suckless.org/dev/2204/34730.html for discussion.

2022-03-14manage: For isfloating/oldstate check/set, ensure trans client actually existsbakkeby
In certain instances trans may be set to a window that doesn't actually map to a client via wintoclient; in this case it doesn't make sense to set isfloating/oldstate since trans is essentially invalid in that case / correlates to the above condition check where trans is set / XGetTransientForHint is called.
