--- === hs.window.filter ===
---
--- Filter windows by application, title, location on screen and more, and easily subscribe to events on these windows
---
--- Warning: this module is still somewhat experimental.
--- Should you encounter any issues, please feel free to report them on https://github.com/Hammerspoon/hammerspoon/issues
--- or #hammerspoon on irc.libera.chat.
---
--- Windowfilters monitor all windows as they're created, closed, moved etc., and select some (or none) among these windows
--- according to specific filtering rules. These filtering rules are app-specific, i.e. they start off by selecting all windows
--- belonging to a certain application (but you can also define *default* and *override* filters - see `:setAppFilter()`,
--- `:setDefaultFilter()`, `:setOverrideFilter()`) and they can allow or reject windows based on:
---   * visibility, focused and/or fullscreen status
---   * title length or patterns in the title
---   * position on screen (inside or outside a certain region or screen)
---   * accessibility role (standard window, dialog, etc.)
---   * whether they're in the current Mission Control Space or not
---
--- The filtering happens automatically in the background; windowfilters then:
---   * generate a dynamic list of the windows that currently satisfy the filtering rules (see `:getWindows()`)
---   * sanitize and expose all pertinent events on these windows (see `:subscribe()` and the module constants with all the events)
---
--- A *default windowfilter* (not to be confused with the default filter *within* a windowfilter) is provided as convenience;
--- it excludes some known apps and windows that are transient in nature, therefore unlikely to be "interesting" for e.g. window management.
--- `hs.window.filter.new()` (with no arguments) returns a copy of the default windowfilter that you can further tailor
--- to your needs - see `hs.window.filter.default` and `hs.window.filter.new()` for more information.
---
--- Usage examples:
--- ```
--- local wf=hs.window.filter
---
--- -- alter the default windowfilter
--- wf.default:setAppFilter('My IDE',{allowTitles=1}) -- ignore no-title windows (e.g. transient autocomplete suggestions) in My IDE
---
--- -- set the exact scope of what you're interested in - see hs.window.filter:setAppFilter()
--- wf_terminal = wf.new{'Terminal','iTerm2'} -- all visible terminal windows
--- wf_timewaster = wf.new(false):setAppFilter('Safari',{allowTitles='reddit'}) -- any Safari windows with "reddit" anywhere in the title
--- wf_leftscreen = wf.new{override={visible=true,fullscreen=false,allowScreens='-1,0',currentSpace=true}}
--- -- all visible and non-fullscreen windows that are on the screen to the left of the primary screen in the current Space
--- wf_editors_righthalf = wf.new{'TextEdit','Sublime Text','BBEdit'}:setRegions(hs.screen.primaryScreen():fromUnitRect'0.5,0/1,1')
--- -- text editor windows that are on the right half of the primary screen
--- wf_bigwindows = wf.new(function(w)return w:frame().area>3000000 end) -- only very large windows
--- wf_notif = wf.new{['Notification Center']={allowRoles='AXNotificationCenterAlert'}} -- notification center alerts
---
--- -- subscribe to events
--- wf_terminal:subscribe(wf.windowFocused,some_fn) -- run a function whenever a terminal window is focused
--- wf_timewaster:subscribe(wf.hasWindow,startAnnoyingMe):subscribe(wf.hasNoWindows,stopAnnoyingMe) -- fight procrastination :)
--- ```


-- The pure filtering part alone should fulfill a lot of use cases
-- * The root and default filters should be quite handy for users; the user is able to customize both, but ideally
--   there should be ongoing maintenance on the list by the core maintainers
-- * Maybe an additional filter could be added for window geometry (e.g. minimum width/height/area)

-- The 'active' part abstracts hs.application.watcher and hs.uielement.watcher into a simple and coherent API
-- for users who are interested in window events. Additionally, a lot of effort is spent on cleaning up
-- the mess coming from osx events:
--   * redundant events are never fired more than once
--   * related events are fired in the correct order (e.g. the previous window is unfocused before the
--     current one is focused)
--   * 'missing' events are filled in (e.g. a focused window that gets destroyed for any reason emits unfocused first)
--   * coherency is maintained (e.g. closing System Preferences with cmd-w has the same result as with cmd-q)
-- A further :notify() method is provided for use cases with highly specific filters.
--
-- * There is the usual problem with spaces; it's usefully abstracted away from userspace via .currentSpace field in filters,
--   but the implementation is inefficient as it relies on calling hs.window.allWindows() (which can be slow)
--   on space changes.
-- * window(un)maximized could be implemented, or merged into window(un)fullscreened (but currently isn't either)

--- hs.window.filter.ignoreAlways
--- Variable
--- A table of application names (as per `hs.application:name()`) that are always ignored by this module.
--- These are apps with no windows or any visible GUI, such as system services, background daemons and "helper" apps.
---
--- You can add an app to this table with `hs.window.filter.ignoreAlways['Background App Title'] = true`
---
--- Notes:
---  * As the name implies, even the empty, "allow all" windowfilter will ignore these apps.
---  * You don't *need* to keep this table up to date, since non GUI apps will simply never show up anywhere; this table is just used as a "root" filter to gain a (very small) performance improvement.

--- hs.window.filter:setAppFilter(appname, filter) -> hs.window.filter object
--- Method
--- Sets the detailed filtering rules for the windows of a specific app
---
--- Parameters:
---  * appname - app name as per `hs.application:name()`
---  * filter - if `false`, reject the app; if `true`, `nil`, or omitted, allow all visible windows (in any Space) for the app; otherwise it must be a table describing the filtering rules for the app, via the following fields:
---    * visible - if `true`, only allow visible windows (in any Space); if `false`, reject visible windows; if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * currentSpace - if `true`, only allow windows in the current Mission Control Space (minimized and hidden windows are included, as they're considered to belong to all Spaces); if `false`, reject windows in the current Space (including all minimized and hidden windows); if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * fullscreen - if `true`, only allow fullscreen windows; if `false`, reject fullscreen windows; if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * hasTitlebar - if `true`, only allow windows with titlebar; if `false`, reject window with titlebar; if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * focused - if `true`, only allow a window while focused; if `false`, reject the focused window; if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * activeApplication - only allow any of this app's windows while it is (if `true`) or it's not (if `false`) the active application; if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * allowTitles
---      * if a number, only allow windows whose title is at least as many characters long; e.g. pass `1` to filter windows with an empty title
---      * if a string or table of strings, only allow windows whose title matches (one of) the pattern(s) as per `string.match`
---      * if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * rejectTitles - if a string or table of strings, reject windows whose titles matches (one of) the pattern(s) as per `string.match`; if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * allowRegions - an `hs.geometry` rect or constructor argument, or a list of them, designating (a) screen "region(s)" in absolute coordinates: only allow windows that "cover" at least 50% of (one of) the region(s), and/or windows that have at least 50% of their surface inside (one of) the region(s); if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * rejectRegions - an `hs.geometry` rect or constructor argument, or a list of them, designating (a) screen "region(s)" in absolute coordinates: reject windows that "cover" at least 50% of (one of) the region(s), and/or windows that have at least 50% of their surface inside (one of) the region(s); if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * allowScreens - a valid argument for `hs.screen.find()`, or a list of them, indicating one (or more) screen(s): only allow windows that (mostly) lie on (one of) the screen(s); if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * rejectScreens - a valid argument for `hs.screen.find()`, or a list of them, indicating one (or more) screen(s): reject windows that (mostly) lie on (one of) the screen(s); if omitted, this rule is ignored
---    * allowRoles
---      * if a string or table of strings, only allow these window roles as per `hs.window:subrole()`
---      * if the special string `'*'`, this rule is ignored (i.e. all window roles, including empty ones, are allowed)
---      * if omitted, use the default allowed roles (defined in `hs.window.filter.allowedWindowRoles`)
---
--- Returns:
---  * the `hs.window.filter` object for method chaining
---
--- Notes:
---  * Passing `focused=true` in `filter` will (naturally) result in the windowfilter ever allowing 1 window at most
---  * If you want to allow *all* windows for an app, including invisible ones, pass an empty table for `filter`
---  * Spaces-aware windowfilters might experience a (sometimes significant) delay after every Space switch, since (due to OS X limitations) they must re-query for the list of all windows in the current Space every time.
---  * If System Preferences>Mission Control>Displays have separate Spaces is *on*, the *current Space* is defined as the union of all the Spaces that are currently visible
---  * This table explains the effects of different combinations of `visible` and `currentSpace`, showing which windows will be allowed:
--- ```
---              |visible=         nil                      |             true             |     false    |
--- |currentSpace|------------------------------------------|------------------------------|--------------|
--- |     nil    |all                                       |visible in ANY space          |min and hidden|
--- |    true    |visible in CURRENT space+min and hidden   |visible in CURRENT space      |min and hidden|
--- |    false   |visible in OTHER space only+min and hidden|visible in OTHER space only   |none          |

--- hs.window.filter:setFilters(filters) -> hs.window.filter object
--- Method
--- Sets multiple filtering rules
---
--- Parameters:
---  * filters - table, every element will set an application filter; these elements must:
---    - have a *key* of type string, denoting an application name as per `hs.application:name()`
---    - if the *value* is a boolean, the app will be allowed or rejected accordingly - see `hs.window.filter:allowApp()`
---      and `hs.window.filter:rejectApp()`
---    - if the *value* is a table, it must contain the accept/reject rules for the app *as key/value pairs*; valid keys
---      and values are described in `hs.window.filter:setAppFilter()`
---    - the key can be one of the special strings `"default"` and `"override"`, which will set the default and override
---      filter respectively
---    - the key can be the special string `"sortOrder"`; the value must be one of the `sortBy...` constants as per
---      `hs.window.filter:setSortOrder()`
---
--- Returns:
---  * the `hs.window.filter` object for method chaining
---
--- Notes:
---  * every filter definition in `filters` will overwrite the preexisting one for the relevant application, if present;
---    this also applies to the special default and override filters, if included

--- hs.window.filter.new(fn[,logname[,loglevel]]) -> hs.window.filter object
--- Constructor
--- Creates a new hs.window.filter instance
---
--- Parameters:

---    * if `nil`, returns a copy of the default windowfilter, including any customizations you might have applied to it
---      so far; you can then further restrict or expand it
---    * if `true`, returns an empty windowfilter that allows every window
---    * if `false`, returns a windowfilter with a default rule to reject every window
---    * if a string or table of strings, returns a windowfilter that only allows visible windows of the specified apps
---      as per `hs.application:name()`
---    * if a table, you can fully define a windowfilter without having to call any methods after construction; the
---      table must be structured as per `hs.window.filter:setFilters()`; if not specified in the table, the

---    * otherwise it must be a function that accepts an `hs.window` object and returns `true` if the window is allowed

---  * logname - (optional) name of the `hs.logger` instance for the new windowfilter; if omitted, the class logger will be used

--- hs.window.filter.default
--- Constant
--- The default windowfilter; it filters apps whose windows are transient in nature so that you're unlikely (and often
--- unable) to do anything with them, such as launchers, menulets, preference pane apps, screensavers, etc. It also
--- filters nonstandard and invisible windows.
---
--- Notes:
---  * While you can customize the default windowfilter, it's usually advisable to make your customizations on a local copy via `mywf=hs.window.filter.new()`;
---    the default windowfilter can potentially be used in several Hammerspoon modules and changing it might have unintended consequences.
---    Common customizations:
---    * to exclude fullscreen windows: `nofs_wf=hs.window.filter.new():setOverrideFilter{fullscreen=false}`
---    * to include invisible windows: `inv_wf=windowfilter.new():setDefaultFilter{}`
---  * If you still want to alter the default windowfilter:
---    * you should probably apply your customizations at the top of your `init.lua`, or at any rate before instantiating any other windowfilter; this
---      way copies created via `hs.window.filter.new(nil,...)` will inherit your modifications
---    * to list the known exclusions: `hs.inspect(hs.window.filter.default:getFilters())` from the console
---    * to add an exclusion: `hs.window.filter.default:rejectApp'Cool New Launcher'`
---    * to add an app-specific rule: `hs.window.filter.default:setAppFilter('My IDE',1)`; ignore tooltips/code completion (empty title) in My IDE
---    * to remove an exclusion (e.g. if you want to have access to Spotlight windows): `hs.window.filter.default:allowApp'Spotlight'`;
---      for specialized uses you can make a specific windowfilter with `myfilter=hs.window.filter.new'Spotlight'`

--- hs.window.filter.defaultCurrentSpace
--- Constant
--- A copy of the default windowfilter (see `hs.window.filter.default`) that only allows windows in the current
--- Mission Control Space
---
--- Notes:
---  * This windowfilter will inherit customizations to the default windowfilter if they're performed *before* referencing this

--- hs.window.filter.isGuiApp(appname) -> boolean
--- Function
--- Checks whether an app is a known non-GUI app, as per `hs.window.filter.ignoreAlways`
---
--- Parameters:
---  * appname - name of the app to check as per `hs.application:name()`
---
--- Returns:
---  * `false` if the app is a known non-GUI (or not accessible) app; `true` otherwise
windowfilter.isGuiApp = function(appname)

--- hs.window.filter.switchedToSpace(space)
--- Function
--- Callback to inform all windowfilters that the user initiated a switch to a (numbered) Mission Control Space.
---
--- Parameters:
---  * space - the Space number the user is switching to
---
--- Returns:
--- * None
---
--- Notes:
---  * Only use this function if "Displays have separate Spaces" and "Automatically rearrange Spaces" are OFF in System Preferences>Mission Control
---  * Calling this function will set `hs.window.filter.forceRefreshOnSpaceChange` to `false`
---  * If you defined one or more Spaces-aware windowfilters (i.e. when the `currentSpace` field of a filter is present), windows need refreshing at every space change anyway, so using this callback will not result in improved performance
---  * See `hs.window.filter.forceRefreshOnSpaceChange` for an overview of Spaces limitations in Hammerspoon. If you often (or always) change Space via the "numbered" Mission Control keyboard shortcuts (by default, `ctrl-1` etc.), you can call this function from your `init.lua` when intercepting these shortcuts; for example:
---  ```
---  hs.hotkey.bind('ctrl','1',nil,function()hs.window.filter.switchedToSpace(1)end)
---  hs.hotkey.bind('ctrl','2',nil,function()hs.window.filter.switchedToSpace(2)end)
---  -- etc.
---  ```
--- * Using this callback results in slightly better performance than setting `forceRefreshOnSpaceChange` to `true`, since already visited Spaces are remembered and no refreshing is necessary when switching back to those.

--- hs.window.filter.forceRefreshOnSpaceChange
--- Variable
--- Tells all windowfilters whether to refresh all windows when the user switches to a different Mission Control Space.
---
--- Due to OS X limitations Hammerspoon cannot directly query for windows in Spaces other than the current one;
--- therefore when a windowfilter is initially instantiated, it doesn't know about many of these windows.
---
--- If this variable is set to `true`, windowfilters will re-query applications for all their windows whenever a Space change
--- by the user is detected, therefore any existing windows in that Space that were not yet being tracked will become known at that point;
--- if `false` (the default) this won't happen, but the windowfilters will *eventually* learn about these windows
--- anyway, as soon as they're interacted with.
---
--- If you need your windowfilters to become aware of windows across all Spaces as soon as possible, you can set this to `true`,
--- but you'll incur a modest performance penalty on every Space change. If possible, use the `hs.window.filter.switchedToSpace()`
--- callback instead.
---
--- Notes:
---  * If you defined one or more Spaces-aware windowfilters (i.e. when the `currentSpace` field of a filter is present), windows need refreshing at every space change anyway, so this variable is ignored

-- hs.window.filter:notify(fn[, fnEmpty][, immediate]) -> hs.window.filter object
-- Method
-- Notify a callback whenever the list of allowed windows change
--
-- Parameters:
--  * fn - a callback function that will be called when:
--    * an allowed window is created or destroyed, and therefore added or removed from the list of allowed windows
--    * a previously allowed window is now filtered or vice versa (e.g. in consequence of a title or position change)
--    It will be passed 2 parameters:
--    * a list of the `hs.window` objects currently (i.e. *after* the change took place) allowed by this
--      windowfilter as per `hs.window.filter:getWindows()` (sorted according to `hs.window.filter:setSortOrder()`)
--    * a string containing the (first) event that caused the change (see the `hs.window.filter.window...` event constants)
--  * fnEmpty - (optional) if provided, when this windowfilter becomes empty (i.e. `:getWindows()` returns
--    an empty list) call this function (with no arguments) instead of `fn`, otherwise, always call `fn`
--  * immediate - (optional) if `true`, also call `fn` (or `fnEmpty`) immediately
--
-- Returns:
--  * the `hs.window.filter` object for method chaining
--
-- Notes:
--  * If `fn` is nil, notifications for this windowfilter will stop.

--- hs.window.filter:subscribe(event, fn[, immediate]) -> hs.window.filter object
--- Method
--- Subscribe to one or more events on the allowed windows
---
--- Parameters:
---  * event - string or list of strings, the event(s) to subscribe to (see the `hs.window.filter` constants); alternatively, this can be a map `{event1=fn1,event2=fn2,...}`: fnN will be subscribed to eventN, and the parameter `fn` will be ignored
---  * fn - function or list of functions, the callback(s) to add for the event(s); each will be passed 3 parameters
---    * a `hs.window` object referring to the event's window
---    * a string containing the application name (`window:application():name()`) for convenience
---    * a string containing the event that caused the callback, i.e. (one of) the event(s) you subscribed to
---  * immediate - (optional) if `true`, also call all the callbacks immediately for windows that satisfy the event(s) criteria
---
--- Returns:
---  * the `hs.window.filter` object for method chaining
---
--- Notes:
---  * Passing lists means that *all* the `fn`s will be called when *any* of the `event`s fires, so it's *not* a shortcut for subscribing distinct callbacks to distinct events; use a map or chained `:subscribe` calls for that.
---  * Use caution with `immediate`: if for example you're subscribing to `hs.window.filter.windowUnfocused`, `fn`(s) will be called for *all* the windows except the currently focused one.
---  * If the windowfilter was paused with `hs.window.filter:pause()`, calling this will resume it.

--- hs.window.filter:unsubscribe([event][, fn]) -> hs.window.filter object
--- Method
--- Removes one or more event subscriptions
---
--- Parameters:
---  * event - string or list of strings, the event(s) to unsubscribe; if omitted, `fn`(s) will be unsubscribed from all events;
---    alternatively, this can be a map `{event1=fn1,event2=fn2,...}`: fnN will be unsubscribed from eventN, and the parameter `fn` will be ignored
---  * fn - function or list of functions, the callback(s) to remove; if omitted, all callbacks will be unsubscribed from `event`(s)
---
--- Returns:
---  * the `hs.window.filter` object for method chaining
---
--- Notes:
---  * You must pass at least one of `event` or `fn`
---  * If calling this on the default (or any other shared use) windowfilter, do not pass events, as that would remove
---    *all* the callbacks for the events including ones subscribed elsewhere that you might not be aware of. You should

---    eastward axis
---
--- Returns:
---  * None
---
--- Notes:
---  * This is a convenience wrapper that performs `hs.window.focusWindowEast(window,self:getWindows(),...)`
---  * You'll likely want to add `:setCurrentSpace(true)` to the windowfilter used for this method call

--- hs.window.filter:focusWindowWest(window, frontmost, strict)
--- Method
--- Focuses the nearest window to the west of a given window
---
--- Parameters:
---  * window - (optional) an `hs.window` object; if nil, `hs.window.frontmostWindow()` will be used
---  * frontmost - (optional) boolean, if true focuses the nearest window that isn't occluded by any other window in this windowfilter
---  * strict - (optional) boolean, if true only consider windows at an angle between 45° and -45° on the westward axis
---
--- Returns:
---  * None
---
--- Notes:
---  * This is a convenience wrapper that performs `hs.window.focusWindowWest(window,self:getWindows(),...)`
---  * You'll likely want to add `:setCurrentSpace(true)` to the windowfilter used for this method call

--- hs.window.filter:focusWindowSouth(window, frontmost, strict)
--- Method
--- Focuses the nearest window to the north of a given window
---
--- Parameters:
---  * window - (optional) an `hs.window` object; if nil, `hs.window.frontmostWindow()` will be used
---  * frontmost - (optional) boolean, if true focuses the nearest window that isn't occluded by any other window in this windowfilter
---  * strict - (optional) boolean, if true only consider windows at an angle between 45° and -45° on the
---    northward axis
---
--- Returns:
---  * None
---
--- Notes:
---  * This is a convenience wrapper that performs `hs.window.focusWindowSouth(window,self:getWindows(),...)`
---  * You'll likely want to add `:setCurrentSpace(true)` to the windowfilter used for this method call

--- hs.window.filter:focusWindowNorth(window, frontmost, strict)
--- Method
--- Focuses the nearest window to the south of a given window
---
--- Parameters:
---  * window - (optional) an `hs.window` object; if nil, `hs.window.frontmostWindow()` will be used
---  * frontmost - (optional) boolean, if true focuses the nearest window that isn't occluded by any other window in this windowfilter
---  * strict - (optional) boolean, if true only consider windows at an angle between 45° and -45° on the
---    southward axis
---
--- Returns:
---  * None
---
--- Notes:
---  * This is a convenience wrapper that performs `hs.window.focusWindowNorth(window,self:getWindows(),...)`
---  * You'll likely want to add `:setCurrentSpace(true)` to the windowfilter used for this method call
