This adds the 'send' action to the ipc module that can be used to send arbitrary text to the module:
polybar-msg action "#ipc.send.%{F#4444ff}hello%{F-}"
* feat(ipc): allow receiving arbitrary text on IPC socket
Instead of just allowing hook numbers to be executed, the user can
send arbitrary text and the IPC module will put it in the bar. The IPC
payload format is extended to accept an arbitrary string if the first
character after the module name is ':'.
polybar-msg hook test :'%{F#4444ff}hello%{F-}'
Fix#2455
* Use actions for sending data to ipc module
* ipc: Don't use exceptions when no hooks are defined
* Update src/modules/ipc.cpp
