As system modal dialogs may open without user interaction (for instance
polkit or network agent requests), it is possible for them to pop up
while the app/window switcher is up.
The current result of having both up simultaneously is clearly broken,
so we can either dismiss the popup or prevent the modal dialog from
opening. Assume that the dialog indicates a more important action and
should therefore take precedence, so go with the former.

When commit c6cea277e replaced Shell.GenericContainer, the check
whether the required width exceeds the avilable width was changed
from using the minimum widths of items to the natural width of the
scroll view.
That doesn't work correctly, as the *natural* width may well exceed
the actually used width: SwitcherList bases its width request on
children's minimum sizes to force labels to ellipsize.
Fix this by using the minimum width of the scroll view's child instead.

Commit c899453800 lifted the requirement of switcher keybindings
to contain a modifier, however it is currently only possible to
finish it by letting it time out.
Improve that by also accepting space/enter key presses to confirm the
selection immediately.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1883
The noModsTimeout obviously finishes inside a timeout callback, which
means `global.get_current_time()` might return Clutter.CURRENT_TIME (ie.
0) when called inside it, because it's not called while handling an
event. This means when switching apps or activating a window, the
timestamp passed to `activate_window` may be 0, which is the reason why
the altTab switcher is currently broken when using modifier-less
keybindings.
Fix that by using `meta_display_get_current_time_roundtrip`, which
always return a valid timestamp, instead of
`shell_global_get_current_time`.

We slightly delay showing the switcher popup to avoid flashing it
briefly in the common case of quickly switching back-and-forth
between two windows.
However some users perceive this delay as slowness. Address this by
showing the popup immediately when another key press is consumed
(that is, a key like Tab is pressed).

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
Clutter originally cluttered its namespace with key symbols, before
prefixing all symbols with KEY. We still use the unprefixed symbols
occasionally, replace them so mutter can drop the deprecated symbols.

We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.

While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.

Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
When destructuring multiple return values, we often use trailing commas
to indicate that there are additional elements that we are ignoring.
There isn't anything inherently wrong with that, but it's a style that's
too confusing for eslint - on the one hand we require a space after a
comma, on the other hand we require no space before closing brackets.

Since version 1.50.0, gjs defines GObject.NotImplementedError for throwing
errors when a "virtual" method that requires a subclass implementation is not
defined.
So use this instead of a generic JS Error in such cases.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/549
gjs now supports an optional GTypeFlags value for GObject subclasses
defined with GObject.registerClass(), so it is not possible to define
abstract classes on the gobject-level, just like from C.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/517
Classes that are sub-classes of GObject don't use a constructor per se, so we
can't check for new.target (as this is undefined) in _init.
Then compare the current constructor name instead.

In order to replace GTK+'s GtkPolicyType. It's bit-compatible with it, too.
All callers have been updated to use it.
This is a purely accessory change in terms of X11 Display usage cleanup,
but helps see better what is left.

The switcher popup is a large, mostly transparent actor that
should cover all the clickable area of GNOME Shell. In Clutter
terms, it should cover the whole stage.
By binding it to the primary monitor, the Alt+Tab behavior
becomes a bit inconsistent. For example, by not hiding when
clicking at empty spaces at other monitors.
Fix that by binding the SwitcherPopup to the whole stage,
and not only the primary monitor.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/647
This commit removes all the uses of Shell.GenericContainer from
SwitcherPopup.SwitcherList. Compared to the other patches, this
one was specially trickier to get right, and a few invasive
changes needed to be done.
The most noticeable one is that the allocation of the items is
done entirely by St.BoxLayout -- we don't manually allocate them
anymore. To make it work, get_preferred_width() had to calculate
the correct value. It now assumes that:
* Minimum width: the minimum width of the widest child.
* Natural width: the minimum width of the StBoxLayout (use it
instead of the natural width to force the labels to ellipsize
when too long.)
The AppIcon class became a St.Widget subclass as well, to override
get_preferred_width() and be able to keep the squared shape.
Besides that, add a new SwitcherButton class to reimplement squared
icons without having to resort to hacks in the size allocation
machinery. This class has a single vfunc override to ensure that it
is squared when the SwitcherList is.
The arrows indicating multiple windows are now in this._list
actor to the SwitcherPopup itself, since this._list automatically
manages its own children now.
At last, adapt (but preserve) the hack in CyclerPopup.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Instead of overriding vfunc_get_preferred_width|height(), use the
already available Layout.MonitorConstraint to bind SwitcherPopup
to the primary monitor.
This commit turns SwitcherPopup.SwitcherPopup into a St.Widget
subclass, and gets rid of Shell.GenericContainer usage. Subclasses
were adapted to that too.
This class introduced a new challenge: it overrides show(). As per
discussions, we now call this.visible = true inside show().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
In the process of purging all usages of Shell.GenericContainer
of GNOME Shell, one specific problematic situation that might
occur is when classes have functions that would clash with any
ClutterActor or StWidget function name.
One of such example is SwitcherPopup.destroy(). Right now, this
class is a pure JavaScript class that wraps a real actor, but
soon this will change, and it'll become a St.Widget subclass.
Another problem with functions that mimic the toolkit ones is
the predictability of them; after calling destroy(), that widget
is expected to not be available anymore. In SwitcherPopup case,
it is still available for a short while. In this case, that's not
a big problem, but the show() and hide() functions in other clases
are more problematic because the actor's visibility does not
follow that.
This commit is a first step in cleaning that up, and changes the
SwitcherPopup.destroy() to fadeAndDestroy().

If the Escape key is used for a window/app cycler/switcher shortcut
(such as "Switch windows directly"), then there is no way to cancel
the switching/cycling operation with the keyboard.
This change allows cancelling such an operation by pressing the Tab
key, but only if Tab is not already being used by the current
switcher/cycler shortcut.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/315
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
This will be mainly useful for closing apps from the applications
switcher, but can be implemented generically enough to select the
nearest existing item after removal if there's any, or destroying
the popup's actor otherwise.
Specifically for the apps switcher, doing this also removes the need
of having to manually either update the current app in AppSwitcher
and highlight it, if there are still any items after the removal, or
simply destroy the AppSwitcher otherwise. Besides, calling _select()
in the handler for item-removed makes sure that the list of thumbnails
in the switcher is always closed, if open, when quitting the app.

Make sure that the items from the applications switcher and the windows
switcher are removed when the related applications get stopped, or some
of the associated windows closed.

This drops the requirement that SwitcherPopups need a modifier based
keybinding to work.
The existing behavior for modifier based keybindings is kept but if
the popup is triggered from a no modifiers keybinding, instead of
finishing when the modifier is released, we use a timer that
automatically finishes the popup. The timer is reset on every key
release to allow navigation to happen.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

If the popup happens to be mapped beneath the pointer, mutter will now
emit an implicit enter notify event (i.e. not caused by pointer motion).
In this case the switcherPopup still goes and selects the item, which
results in too sensitive alt-tab menus if the pointer happens to be in
the wrong place.
Make highlighting rely on motion events instead, so it always involves
user interaction when triggered by the pointer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755164
We don't really need this step as a separate method since all
implementations are supposed to be created and shown immediately. This
also ensures that we have items to show in all subclasses.
