Hi,
Newbie here. :) I've been having great fun hacking away with the Lua API,
and it's been, well, awesome.
But I got stuck. I think this is more of a problem with Gvim than Awesome,
but it's happening in the context of the Lua API, and I doubt the Vim guys
know anything about that, so I'm hoping there's someone here who knows
Gvim's quirks enough to help.
Code speaks louder than words, so here goes.
function check_size()
local geometry = client.focus:geometry()
naughty.notify({
preset = naughty.config.presets.low,
title = "Debug message",
height = 200,
width = 400,
hover_timeout = 10,
text = tostring(geometry.height)
})
end
function test_resize()
check_size()
local adjustment = 3
local geometry = client.focus:geometry()
geometry.height = geometry.height - adjustment
client.focus:geometry(geometry)
check_size()
end
When I run test_resize(), it displays the height and height minus 3 just as
it should. It does this for Gvim as well. But for Gvim only, when I check
it again with check_size() it gives a completely new number, usually the
original height minus 15 or 20. I'm guessing this has to do with Gvim's
love for measuring geometry by number of characters rather than pixels.
There must be some way to force Gvim to obey the window manager. Otherwise,
the window manager has no precision in its control over window sizes.
I suspected size_hints_honor might have something to do with this, but the
problem exists no matter what size_hints_honor is set to. I'm running
Awesome 3.4.13-1 (Octopus) in Debian wheezy. Any ideas?
