Drag'n'Drop on Wayland allows us to improve the drag'n'drop experience.
When entering a window during the drag'n'drop operation, KWin raises it.
BUG: 36065
FIXED-IN: 5.6.0 (Wayland only)
When starting effect mouse interception the current focused window
and or decoration should get a leave event. Similar when the effect mouse
interception ends the current pointer position needs to be evaluated and
a pointer enter be sent if needed.
Updating the focused pointer surface results in the cursor to change.
The CursorImage needs the current focused window to evaluate which cursor
to use, though. Thus we need to make sure that the window reflects the
current state before updating the seat.
The WaylandCursorTheme emits a signal whenever it reloads the theme.
This is used by CursorImage to clear the cache and reload decoration
and fallback cursor.
So far updating the cursor image was not really defined. It was possible
to use the cursor image from the wayland seat or have a custom set cursor
image. But there are no rules in place to decide which one to use when.
With this change a dedicated CursorImage class is introduced which tracks
the cursor image changes on the seat, on the decoration, in the effects
and so on. In addition it tracks which is the current source for the
image, that is whether e.g. the cursor from the seat or from effects
override should be used. Whenever the cursor image changes a signal is
emitted, which is connected to the signal in AbstractBackend.
Based on that the backends can directly show the image. The existing
code in the backends to install a cursor shape or to install the cursor
from the server is completely dropped. For the backend it's irrelevant
from where the image comes from.
A new feature added is that the cursor image is marked as rendered. This
is then passed on to the frame rendered in the Surface and thus animated
cursors are finally working. Unfortunately animated cursors are broken in
Qt (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48181 ).
The mapping is slightly inspired by the mapping in QtWayland.
But the mapping in QtWayland seems wrong. E.g. there is a linux kernel
button called BTN_BACK which is not mapped to Qt::BackButton.
Anyway we are not really interested in the mapping being 100 % correct
for the case in KWin. KWin internally uses only very few mouse buttons
and all others are only relevant to figure out whether buttons are
pressed. The button code itself is passed to the seat with the native
code.
All pointer related code is moved into a new class called
PointerInputRedirection.
The main idea is to simplify the code and make it easier to maintain.
Therefore also a few changes in the setup were performed:
* before init() is called, no processing is performed
* init() is only called on Wayland and after Workspace is created
* init property is set to false once Workspace or WaylandServer is
destroyed
Thus code can operate on the following assumptions:
* Workspace is valid
* WaylandServer is valid
* ScreenLocker integration is used
The various checks whether there is a waylandServer() and whether
there is a seat are no longer needed.
Some of the checks have been reordered to be faster in the most common
use case of using libinput. E.g. whether warping is supported is first
evaluated by the variable bound to whether we have libinput and only if
that is false the backend is checked.
The new class doesn't have signals but invokes the signals provided
by InputRedirection. I didn't want to add new signals as I consider
them as not needed. The areas in KWin needing those signals should
be ported to InputEventFilters.
