Mostly plumbing.
Summary:
- Key processing logic remains untouched.
- Simplified IPC logic.
- Streamlined the event loop.
- Consolidated config and descriptor parsing logic into config.[ch].
- Eliminated internal KEYD_* environment variables in favour of compile time macros.
- Added color coding to the daemon output.
- Load all configuration files on initialization.
The last change increases initialization time (on the order of μs) and resident
memory size, but simplifies the config logic and has the benefit of linting all
files immediately while also allowing for the introduction of in-daemon
reloading. This ultimately results in a net saving for the user since
most service managers are horrendously slow :(.
It also means hotplugged devices will use the in-memory config set (which
probably makes more sense anyway) instead of dynamically scanning the config
directory. This is more efficient for small config directories (<100 files),
but less efficient for large ones (uncommon).
This is a major release which breaks backward compatibility for
non-trivial configs. (we are still in beta after all :P).
In the absence of too much blowback this will probably become the final
v2 design.
Much of this harkens back to the v1, with some additional simplifications
and enhancements.
See DESIGN.md for a more detailed account.
keyd redux take 1.
A rewrite which simplifies the config format and provides a
solid foundation for incrementally introducing experimental
features.
Internally:
- Modularized and rewrote most of the code
- Added a mini testing framework (t/)
Externally:
- Eliminated layer inheritance in favour of simple types.
(layouts are now defined with `:layout` instead of `:main`)
- Macros are now repeatable.
- Overload now accepts a hold threshold timeout.
- Config files are now vendor/product id oriented.
- SIGUSR1 now triggers a config reload.
- Modifiers are layers by default and can be extended directly.
- Config files now end in `.conf`.
- `layert()` is now `toggle()`.
- All layers are 'modifier layers' (terminological change)
- Eliminated the dedicated modifer layout.
- Modifiers no longer apply to key sequences defined within a layer.
(Layer sequences are now always executed verbatim.)
The old behaviour was unintuitive and can be emulated using nested
layers if necessary.
