clickthrough - make window "transparent" with respect to input events |

=head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 10 |
|
|
|
| 11 |
|
|
This extension can toggle the terminal window between "normal" and |
| 12 |
sf-exg |
1.2 |
"clickthrough" states. In the latter state, input events such as clicks |
| 13 |
|
|
will go "through" the window, as if it weren't there. This can be used to |
| 14 |
root |
1.1 |
put a (preferably partially transparent) window in front of other windows |
| 15 |
|
|
and let clicks and other events go through the underlying window. |
| 16 |
|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
See L<https://shallowsky.com/blog/2017/Apr/06/> for an example. |
| 18 |
|
|
|
| 19 |
|
|
This extension is loaded automatically when the C<-clickthrough mode> |
| 20 |
|
|
command line argument is given, and operates in one of three modes: |
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
=over |
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
=item C<disable> (the default) |
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
sf-exg |
1.2 |
In this mode, everything works normally and the OSC sequence is not |
| 27 |
root |
1.1 |
active. |
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
=item C<on> |
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
In this mode, events go through the window, and this can be toggled via an |
| 32 |
|
|
OSC sequence. |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
=item C<off> |
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
In this mode, events act normally, but this can be toggled via an OSC |
| 37 |
|
|
sequence. |

|
|
=head2 OSC SEQUENCE |
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
When enabled, the OSC sequence C<< 777;clickthroughI<mode> >> can be used |
| 44 |
|
|
to change the clickthrough mode. Example, switch it on, and then switch it |
| 45 |
|
|
off again: |
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
printf '\033]777;clickthrough:on\007' |
| 48 |
|
|
printf '\033]777;clickthrough:off\007' |

=head2 BUGS |
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
For this to work as expected, your window manager needs to support shaped |
| 53 |
|
|
windows fully, but most only have partial support. The only window manager |
| 54 |
|
|
known that handles this correctly is openbox 3.7 (and partially 3.6). |
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
A workaround is to also use C<-override-redirect>. |
| 57 |
|
|
|
| 58 |
|
|
In addition, input shapes don't seem to be well supported in Xorg, |
| 59 |
sf-exg |
1.2 |
which sometimes does not generate the necessary events for window |
| 60 |
|
|
managers. This is currently being worked around in this extension by |
| 61 |
root |
1.1 |
re-setting the input shape after every map event. |
