#!/bin/bash
# dwm config install, healing and the patch applications.
#
# Sourced by setup_dwm.sh; split out to keep it under the 250-line cap.
# Sourced rather than run, so it inherits the caller's strict mode and
# the helper functions and variables defined above the source line.

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 3. Install our versioned config.h onto the fresh upstream clone. dwm.c stays
#    pristine here — movestack()/togglefullscr() are defined inside config.h, so
#    only the two intentional behaviour changes below patch dwm.c.

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 3b. Auto-merge bleeding-edge config churn. When upstream adds a new config
#     knob (e.g. `refreshrate`), dwm.c starts referencing a symbol our
#     hand-written config.h doesn't define, breaking the build. To keep
#     "always latest master" sustainable, copy across any scalar knob that the
#     current dwm.c needs but our config.h lacks, using upstream's default.
#     Only single-line scalars referenced by dwm.c are merged (arrays we own
#     and unused symbols are left alone), so our customisations always win.

# 3c. Focus-on-click: stop the pointer from changing focus / switching monitors.
#     dwm defaults to focus-follows-mouse — and worse, crossing the screen
#     boundary over EMPTY space (motionnotify) switches the active monitor, which
#     yanks focus away from a fullscreen game on the other screen (no window edge
#     to stop the pointer). We rewrite enternotify + motionnotify to no-ops so
#     focus only changes on a CLICK or via the Mod+,/. (Mod+Ctrl+arrows) keys.
#     Applied as an idempotent source rewrite after each reset so it survives the
#     bleeding-edge `git pull`. perl -0777 slurps the file so the multi-line
#     function bodies match at once (.*? stops at the first column-0 `}`, i.e. the
#     function's own closing brace — nested if-block braces are tab-indented).
#     The dwm/patches/focus-on-click.patch file is the human-readable equivalent.
#     If upstream refactors these handlers the rewrite no-ops and we warn loudly
#     rather than silently dropping the behaviour.

# 3d. Auto pointer-confinement on fullscreen. dwm has no pointer barriers, so on
#     a dual-monitor setup the cursor slides off a fullscreen game onto the other
#     screen (there is no window edge to stop it). We hook setfullscreen() to
#     start the `pointer-confine` helper (XFixes barriers) when a window goes
#     fullscreen and stop it when fullscreen ends; unmanage() also stops it so a
#     game that closes WHILE fullscreen can never leave the cursor trapped. The
#     hook is a quick `if (system(...)) {}` — the `if` consumes system()'s result
#     so -Wall stays warning-free; the trailing `&` returns to dwm immediately.
#     Reapplied after each reset (idempotent via git) and self-verifying; the
#     dwm/patches/fullscreen-pointer-confine.patch file mirrors it for reading.

  dwm is installed alongside i3 (i3 untouched).
  This machine autologins (no session picker), so choose the WM you boot into:
    switch-wm dwm   -> boot dwm     switch-wm i3 -> boot i3     switch-wm -> show
  then reboot. Recovery if dwm misbehaves: TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F3) -> 'switch-wm i3' -> reboot.

  Key bindings (Mod = Super):
    Mod+Return        terminator            Mod+d             dmenu
    Mod+j / Mod+k     focus next / prev     Mod+Shift+j/k     move in stack
    Mod+h / Mod+l     shrink / grow master  Mod+i/Shift+i     +/- master count
    Mod+1..0          view tag 1..10        Mod+Shift+1..0    send to tag
    Mod+f             fullscreen            Mod+Shift+space   toggle floating
    Mod+t / Mod+w     tiling / monocle      Mod+Shift+Return  promote to master
    Mod+Shift+q       kill window           Mod+Shift+e       exit dwm
    Mod+m             mic mute              Mod+Shift+r       recompile (dwm-rebuild)

  Two monitors (no i3-style per-output workspaces — see config.h note):
    Mod+, / Mod+.                 focus the other screen   (or Mod+Ctrl+Left/Right)
    Mod+Shift+, / Mod+Shift+.     throw window there       (or Mod+Ctrl+Shift+L/R)
  Focus-on-click is ON: the pointer no longer steals focus or switches monitors
  when it crosses screens. Focus changes on click/keys.
  Fullscreen cursor-lock is ON: when a window goes fullscreen (games), the cursor
  is trapped on that screen (XFixes barriers) and released when fullscreen ends.
  Stuck barrier? Mod+Shift+p force-releases it.

  Status bar (clock, temps, load, RAM, volume) needs xsetroot:
    sudo pacman -S xorg-xsetroot     # then log out / back in
  Preview it now without the bar:  dwmstatus once

  Customise (permanent): edit files in linux_configuration/dwm/ then re-run this
  script. Quick experiment: edit ~/.local/src/dwm/config.h + run 'dwm-rebuild'
  (re-running setup_dwm.sh overwrites it from the repo).
