ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

Back in the day, there was a proposed system of tracking apps in a
specific context.
The inspiration was that you may have used apps in multiple modes:
Firefox may have been used in both "Programmer Reference" and
"Kitten Videos" contexts. Early user response to the feedback wasn't
too positive - context switching is something that humans have trouble
doing implicitly, let alone explicitly. The old codebase still has a
few remnants of this around; let's finally put them to rest.
Note that we still write out a dummy context tag to the XML file - old
versions of the shell will flat out crash if you don't have one of those
in there, so just leave it in for compatibility sake.

App folder popups take a grab when opened, and as we don't pass any
particular pushModal() parameters, all keybindings are blocked. While
this makes sense for most keybindings that would interfere with the
popup interaction, others like volume/brightness keys or screenshots
can be allowed safely.

Pretty much like dd4709bb2, BoxPointer's show() and hide()
functions will clash with Clutter.Actor's ones.
In addition to that, on a conceptual level, the current API
is not great, because calling boxPointer.hide() won't result
in boxPointer.actor.visible == false.
For these reasons, rename show() and hide() to open() and
close(). A compatibility layer will be added in a following
commit, warning about the usage of show() and hide().

Removing Shell.GenericContainer from the IconGrid class was
challenging because it needs the "skip paint" API from it.
This API was added, too, as a workaround to the inability
to override vfuncs from GJS.
The overrides are largely copy-pasted and translated versions
of the Shell.GenericContainer code.
The IconGrid:key-focus-in signal was renamed to :child-focused
to avoid clashing with ClutterActor:key-focus-in.
In GridSearchResults, the internal IconGrid had it's y_expand
set to false, so it doesn't push other search elements (the
list results mainly) to the bottom of the screen.
Because skip paint wasn't and still isn't a GObject property,
rename it to _skipPaint to reflect that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
As part of our quest to obsolete Shell.GenericContainer, IconGrid will
become a Clutter.Actor subclass. As the ::key-focus-in signal would
clash with Clutter.Actor::key-focus-in, rename it to ::child-focused.

Pretty much like the previous patches, this extends St.Bin. The
most interesting aspect of this patch is that most of the sizing
routines of the icons is now delegated to the actors and layout
managers, removing quite a bunch of code.
The 'spacing' theme property is now redirected to StBoxLayout's
spacing property. Also adjust the Dash code to stop forcing a
potentially invalid width in the first icon too.

Remove any usage of MetaScreen, as it has been removed from libmutter

When middle-clicking an app icon on the Dash, it will always try to open
a new window of that app, even if the app doesn't support multiple
windows. Meanwhile, Ctrl+click on an app will only open a new window if
the app allows it.
This change prevents middle-clicks on app icons from opening new windows
for apps without multi-window support.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/316
The app icon's context menu contains a list of open windows,
identified by their title. As we currently don't handle the
case where the app didn't set a title, we end up with empty
menu items which looks clearly broken. Fall back to the app's
name in that case.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/26
When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/23
While the scale factor is taken into account for app icons, we set
an explicit size when combining the into a folder icon - unless we
take the factor into account, the result will be too small on HiDPI
displays.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792259
Otherwise the smaller icons will try to take too much space since the
texture rendering the icons will be scaled up on HiDPI displays according
to the scale factor, which will push the size of the StBin containing the
texture up, causing them to completely fill the folder's total space.
Explicitly setting the size of the StBin container in this case, in a
similar fashion to what we do when creating the empty placeholders (in
case where there are less than 4 apps in a folder), ensures that each
"cell" of the grid-like widget representing the folder does not take
too much space.

The animation needs the icons' final positions, so we currently defer
it to a ::notify::allocation handler; however as starting the animation
during an allocation cycle would trigger a Clutter warning, it is
further deferred to a MetaLater. While this usually works, it is possible
that the allocation is already valid when we connect the signal, in which
case the animation is triggered at a later unexpected time. Switch to
a more robust ::paint handler instead, which also allows us to get rid
of the double-delay.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible

While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit
value of 'undefined' has slipped in over time. The updated SpiderMonkey
version used by gjs now warns when accessing those properties, so we
should make sure that they are properly initialized to avoid log spam,
even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that
produce the correct result with 'undefined'.

This effect will only be created when the StScrollView actor has either

GJS implements a basic signal system that allows monkey-patching

If an onComplete handler is passed to animate(), it is set to run at
the end of the animation via the icon grid's ::animation-done signal.
Currently the signal is connected after starting the animation, with
the result that the handler doesn't run when the animation completes
immediately (because there are no icons to animate). Fix this by only
starting the animation after connecting the signal.

We currently assume that the current view matches the 'app-picker-view'
setting. While that is usually the case, there is one notable exception:
While there isn't sufficient usage data (yet), we show all applications
instead of an empty frequent view regardless of the setting. We should
animate the actually visible icons in that case, not the (non-existent)
ones from the hidden frequent view.

It will only show up when a discrete GPU is available (detected through

not be passed through to D-Bus to use when launching the application.

If the source actor is destroyed while the popupMenu is shown -- this

It may be 2015, but users still stumble upon the occasional .desktop

In some cases we might be allocated a size such that
this._grid.topPadding and this._grid.bottomPadding are both 0 which

We don't need a different GSettings object for each app or

Currently scroll events during the swarm animation will make the
grid appear immediately in addition to the animating clones, and
there'll be a mismatch with the icon at the target position. This
badly breaks the illusion of launchers emerging from the dash and
positioning themselves in a grid - as scrolling icons "mid-air"
before they form a paginated grid doesn't make much sense anyway,
fix this issue by ignoring scroll events for the duration of the
animation.

We assume that applications that export a 'new-window' action can open
a new window, so we add an appropriate entry to the context menu.
However this duplicates functionality if the application already

do not create _draggable if it was specified, to prevent a
drag from starting.

fakeRelease on it.

In a lockdown scenario, where the favorite-apps GSettings key is not

There is currently no simple way to inject into AppIcon's state change,
so an extension that wants to do this has to destroy/remove/update all
icons in the Shell (i.e. in the Dash, AllView, FrequentView) on enable()
and disable() after updating AppIcon.prototype._onStateChange, or the
extension must require a restart of the Shell.
To solve this issue, we rename _onStateChanged to _updateRunningStyle,
and connect the notify::state signal with an anonymous function that
calls _updateRunningStyle.
This extra function call should allow extensions to just extend the
updateRunningStyle function in the prototype.

Trust the heuristics in shell_app_can_open_new_window() to get it right
more often than not, and add an appropriate check in activate(). This
makes the behavior consistent with the dash, e.g. we will try to open

have a "New window" item in their dash context menu.

Providers that need drag-and-drop behavior can implement this via the

Following design decision, we want to animate AllView and FrequentView
when opening and closing with a swarm spring form.
This involves a few changes needed to allow that, since from some time
now, we are animating page changes in viewSelector, using only a fade
transition. However now we want to let appDisplay and iconGrid apply its
own animation.
For that we special case the change to and from apps page on
viewSelector to let appDisplay to animate its own items, using and API
on appDisplay which at the same time uses an API on iconGrid.

We were setting the value of adjustment on size changes, but we weren't

Currently the indicators are a BoxLayout inside a BinLayout in AllView.
BinLayout doesn't have any size constraint, so if the indicators request
a bigger size than AllView the entire overview is grown, causing the
overview to go crazy.
To avoid that, create an actor for the page indicators that request as
minimum size 0, and as a natural size, the sum of all indicators natural
sizes. Then we clip_to_allocation, so it doesn't grow more than the
parent.

Unlike for the main app view, where we only move the key focus once the
users starts navigating, the key focus is moved immediately when opening
a folder popup. This is unexpected, so make app folders consistent with
the main view.
As arrow keys will not work while the container itself has key focus, we
handle those explicitly by translating them to TAB_FORWARD and
TAB_BACKWARD respectively.

Commit 5d00c1a5ee moved app folder popups to GrabHelper - for some
reason, the line that ensures the current behavior of only considering
events inside the app picker to dismiss popups got lost ...
As clicks outside the app picker should still be handled normally
while clicks inside should dismiss the popup, we cannot make full
use of GrabHelper. However using it at least for focus handling
fixes some minor details we are getting wrong, for instance not
restoring the previous focus after dismissing a folder popup.
Currently, our logic for page panning isn't great. If the user starts a
pan upwards and hesitates over a new page, we'll go to the *next* page
on release, since the difference is greater, but the velocity wound down
to 0.
Instead of trying to treat it like page down or scrolls, simply do the
math to find the page where the user scrolled to.
This is unfortunately broken for fast swipes, since the user doesn't get
far enough into the new page to make a difference. I'm getting the
impression we'll need a gesture recognizer for this, though, however
crude. Simple hacks I tried, like a velocity multiplier, didn't work
properly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729064
We often call goToPage like:
this.goToPage(this._currentPage - 1);
(or + 1). During panning, these are based on the velocity values
of the gesture action. If we're already on the first or last page
and the panning ends, it's possible to get goToPage that's either
-1 or greater than the last page.
During normal usage, this isn't a problem, since the Y values will
be correct, always. But when panning, the Y values stick to the
finger, and thus if we return early, we won't snap to the exact page,
making it seem like things get "stuck".
Fix this the simple way by clamping to the correctly-ranged values
of pageNumber

Folders use a 2x2 grid of the first 4 app icons as icon - if a folder
contains less apps, we currently skip the corresponding grid positions.
As a result, the overall size request may be smaller than the one for
other icons, making the folder icon look out of place.
Fix this by always using a full grid as folder icon, using dummy actors
as necessary.

The current middle-click action of opening a new window on a new
workspace is a bit peculiar; it is also not overly hard to achieve
the same result by moving a new window to the desired workspace or
selecting a workspace before opening a new window. Just opening

available that doesn't require a modifier is a good idea as well;
change the middle-click behavior accordingly.

get_categories() returns an unparsed string, not a list of categories.
We need to parse the list by splitting on ';' to deterine whether the

One of the most frequent complaints about our launching behaviour is
how we handle terminals. Among all MDI applications, the terminal is
the one that is most likely to have lots of semi-independent windows
opened at the same time, and spawning new windows is much more common.
More so, if it does not support tabs.
Therefore, we special case terminal launchers to always create a new
window. It is an application that most non-technical users will not
use, so chances of them being confused by any special behaviour is
expected to be low.
