Targeted mouse warping #367

Current Behavior

When warping, the mouse currently warps right into the center of the window, this can be very distracting.

Desired Behavior

Users should be able to provide a desired target within the container for the mouse to warp to. Example config:

targeted_warping x_position 0
targeted_warping y_position 100

With this snippet in the config file, the mouse will warp to the bottom left corner of the container rather than to the center.

Environment

Output of i3 --moreversion 2>&-:

i3 version: 4.18.2-229-g234d6855+

- Linux Distribution & Version: Ubuntu 20.04
- Are you using a compositor (e.g., xcompmgr or compton): compton

I've already implemented this in my own fork: i3 - targeted warping.

The docs make it sound like new features should be brought up as an issue first before submitting the pull-request but it's ready to go should anyone want to review it; thanks.

Thanks for the feature request. In i3-gaps I'm not currently looking to add more features, hence I'll be closing this.

Indeed, but actually against upstream vanilla (i3/i3). You can bring it up upstream, but I don't think we'd be accepting this feature.
