This patch makes simple macros of the form `<mods>-<key>` less noisy by
avoiding the redundant release/depression of modifiers which are already
active. This used to be the default behaviour prior to 2.3.0-rc, but was
changed to accommodate #128 (among other things). In most cases the
additional noise is transparent to the application, but notably breaks
Gnome tab-switching via swap, since Gnome cares about intermediate
modifier state.
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.
