When text input gets enabled, the sequence should be
1. enable
2. request to show the panel
3. panel gets added and shown
And showing the panel again after hiding is an important case to cover as
well.
In some cases, stateCommitted may fire after a new surface being focused
and in correctly set input method to be inactive. This can be reproduced
by switch client between an active text input v3 client and text input
v2 client.
We use the PMF syntax so the isValid() check is unnecessary as the
compiler will notify about wrong signal at compile time. It makes
writing autotests feel less boilerplaty.
Things such as Output, InputDevice and so on are made to be
multi-purpose. In order to make this separation more clear, this change
moves that code in the core directory. Some things still link to the
abstraction level above (kwin), they can be tackled in future refactors.
Ideally code in core/ should depend either on other code in core/ or
system libs.
An application that does not support text-input has no way of
communicating with the input method, so even if you show the input
method the application receives nothing. As a fallback, instead send
fake key events so the application still gets something at least.
The key events are synthesised based on the text string that the
input method sends, which may result in things that do not actually
correspond to real keys. Unfortunately I do not see a way around that.
CCBUG: 439911
This change adjusts the window management abstractions in kwin for the
drm backend providing more than just "desktop" outputs.
Besides that, it has other potential benefits - for example, the
Workspace could start managing allocation of the placeholder output by
itself, thus leading to some simplifications in the drm backend. Another
is that it lets us move wayland code from the drm backend.
We don't really care about the window showing up until we're calling
showInputPanel, but since Workspace::windowAdded is triggered for any
window that gets added, the test sometimes fails because count() is 2
instead of 1. To avoid that, only create the spy when it's actually
relevant instead of all the way at the start before any other setup is
done.
This makes KWin switch to in-tree copy of KWaylandServer codebase.
KWaylandServer namespace has been left as is. It will be addressed later
by renaming classes in order to fit in the KWin namespace.
AbstractOutput is not so Abstract and it's common to avoid the word
"Abstract" in class names as it doesn't contribute any new information.
It also significantly reduces the line width in some places.
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
[5/6] Make autotests create fake input devices
Migrate all input simulation functions from kwinApp()->platform()->...
to the their counter part in the Test namespace.
Same as real hardware wl_keyboard, key should be sent before modifier
change. For example, Left Ctrl press and release should produce
key events in the order of Control_L and Control+Control_L.
Observed in kdevelop, that isEnabled() could be false when switching
between different tabs with Ctrl+Tab. But Qt may still call show()
if you click on the texteditor widget. This leads to isEnabled == false but
setActive(true) is called. This causes kdevelop in a usable state because
keyboard grab will be created and no key event will reach application
because isEnabled == false. Under normal circumstances, key will reach
widget first and triggers another text_input_v2 enable to make input
method work properly.
text-input-v3 does not have preedit styling, instead, it can only
specify the range of cursor. Try to keep track of any
highlight/selection style range and combine them together. If it matches
the cursor position, use it as the cursor range.
With a "Surface" type in kwin, KWayland::Client::Surface without fully
specified namespace will conflict with kwin's Surface type.
In some way, it also improves readability as it's clear where Surface
comes from.
Active output is a window management concept. It indicates what output
new windows have to be placed on if they have no output hint. So
Workspace seems to be a better place for it than the Screens class, which
is obsolete.
Since we adapted inputmethod to support methods like ibus, the input
method can be active but not have a visible panel.
This includes an extra property that will indicate us if the panel is
visible at any time. This will allow us to properly render the virtual
keyboard hide button in Plasma Mobile (or wherever we need it).
So far calling setActive(true) would issue a deactivation then another
activation. This sometimes makes maliit crash and we can achieve the
same result just by just issuing a reset.
When debugging modifier_only_shortcut_test in _waylandonly mode I saw
that it was failing, among other things, because some aspects were not
initialised.
This changes every test we have to run the new
Test::initWaylandWorkspace() that calls waylandServer()->initWorkspace()
but also makes sure that WaylandServer::initialized is emitted before we
proceed.
Otherwise the input method test seems to fail with the following error
"The name org.kde.kwin.testvirtualkeyboard was not provided by any
.service files"
There were multiple other cases of placing the mouse between screens at
the start of tests. It seems to be all copy paste.
Only maximise and pointerConstraints were failing before this, but we
may as well fix all of them.
VirtualKeyboard class does not implement the relevant VirtualKeyboard
protocol but rather implements the InputMethod protcol and can in theory
be used by other input method like e.g. ibus.
Make class name consistent with what it does to avoid confusion in
future.
For now only rename of main class is done and dbus service is kept as-is
to provide retro-compatibility, when input method protocol is
implemented fully, we can think of what to do wrt the dbus interface
later when we fully implement zwp_input_method_unstable_v1 protocol.
