Previously we used a bunch of heuristics for this. We checked if velocity
was directed towards the nearest snap point and its value was larger than
a threshold. If it is, we completed the swipe, otherwise we cancelled it.
This was good enough at the time, because this code was originally written
for back/forward swipe. Since then, the swipe tracker was extended to
handle arbitrary snap points and not just 0 and 1, or -1 and 0, depending
on text direction. After that it was iterated on, but never significantly
redone.
This worked well enough, but had two problems:
1. In some cases, notably overview, it may be wanted to be able to swipe
through multiple pages at once. This wasn't really possible because we
always picked the adjacent snap point.
2. Since we can't do that well, we want to restrict swipes to one page at a
time. It was done in a rather hacky way by clamping the position into
[-1, 1] range from the place where we started the swipe. This works
if we start the swipe from idle position, but if an animation was
already going, the range would be clamped to arbitrary values, and very
likely containing only one snap point, which we already swiped past at
this point. In this case, finishing the swipe would cancel it regardless
of velocity. This means that if one tries to quickly move through
carousel pages via swiping, half of the swipes will be inexplicably
cancelled.
We'll use the deceleration formula from
https://medium.com/@esskeetit/how-uiscrollview-works-e418adc47060#10ce
to calculate then projection point, then pick the nearest snap point and
calculate the duration as we did before. It works well enough for short
distances, but has two problems:
1. It caps the maximum distance at a pretty low value - about 5 pages in my
testing.
2. With how we pick the nearest snap point, it's too easy to accidentally
cancel the swipe,
To combat the first problem, we can modify the curve: only use linear
function at small distances, and smoothly transition it to a parabola
further.
For the second problem we can add two special cases: first, if the swipe
ended up between the initial snap point and the next one, we always prefer
the latter. Second, a good old velocity threshold for cancelling.
We'll also use a slightly smaller deceleration value for touchpad: 0.997
instead of 0.998.
Now that we can pick any snap point, the [-1, 1] clamping doesn't make
sense anymore, so instead let's replace it with a more flexible
mechanism: if we're near a snap point, pick its adjacent snap points.
Otherwise, take the two nearest snap points, and take their adjacent
snap points. This way we have 3 snap points to choose from when
starting a swipe from an idle position, and 4 if we start during an
ongoing transition.
This way, if we've just swiped from snap point n to n+1, the transition
will pick snap points n-1, n, n+1, n+2 and if we swipe again, we will
likely land on n+2. During that transition, if we swipe again, it will
likely have already passed the snap point n+1, so this time the available
snap points will be n, n+1, n+2, n+3, so we can swipe again and it will
still complete, and so on.
This will make it easy to allow multi-page swipes as well, by just
removing the clamping.

In some cases we may get anevent with very low delta at the end of the
swipe. While we can't completely ignore them, we can smooth them using a
scroll history, similarly to what GTK kinetic scrolling does: keep track
of the last 150ms of events, and sum their deltas when calculating the
velocity.
The logic is based on what GTK does in GtkGestureSwipe and
GtkEventControllerScroll.

Let empty input result in an error, just like other invalid commands
(bad syntax, nonempty whitespace, etc.). GLib already has an error
message “Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)” which it shows
for whitespace-only input, so letting that message apply also to empty
input makes sense.
This requires some tweaks further down the file to avoid interpreting
empty input as an empty path (relative to the home directory) and then
opening the home directory.

So far, we couldn't allow workspace scrolling outside the overview
because scroll events were always sent to clients. However mutter
was changed recently to pass on scroll events when the mouse button
modifier (usually super) is pressed, which allows us to enable the
same workspace scrolling as in the overview now.

The design now calls for super-scroll for workspace switching

are handled.

The code to update the actor position based on the cursor and current
scale was run in a 'new-frame' handler. This is working fine when
animations are enabled, but when they are turned off this does not work.
This is because the 'new-frame' signal is emitted before the changes for
that frame are applied. So with animations off the position was only
ever updated with the starting values. As a result the shrunk actor was
not being dragged by the position where it was clicked, but by where it
was clicked in the original size, which is likely not even on the shrunk
actor.
This change now also updates the position in the onComplete handler
which gets run with the final scale, even if the duration is 0.

Synchronizing the actual geometry while animating from / to the overview can

When vertically snapping, WorkspacesView currently allocates workspaces
side-by-side, then applies an extra step of translation to center to
the active workspace. This extra step, however, gets in our way because
now we need tighter control of the workspaces positions in allocation,
in order to properly interpolate them.
Move the translation of workspaces to the allocation code itself, and
remove the extra translation step.

Currently, WorkspacesView positions each workspace on a
per-page layout, each page with the allocated width and
height of WorkspaceView. This layout doesn't work well
with horizontal workspaces.
Layout workspaces side by side, instead of per page. The
layout is influenced by a "fit mode", which reflects the
different behaviors exposed in the mockup. This fit mode
represents whether a single or all workspaces will fit
available geometry.
The single fit mode is always used for now. Next commits
will make it switch to the all fit mode when in the app
grid state.
The translation_{x,y} also needed to reflect the switch to
a side-by-side layout, and use the geometry of the workspaces
to determine the offset. Notice that, when the fit mode is ALL,
there's no translation applied.

The new window preview overlay requires getting the app icon for a
window from the window tracker when it gets initialized. The window
tracker listens for the same 'window-added' signal on the MetaWorkspace
that the gnome-shell Workspace listens for to add the window preview.
The window tracker however reconnects all its signal handlers whenever
the number of workspaces changes, which means that its signal handlers
get called after the ones in Workspace ones. So by the time the
'window-added' handler in Workspace is called, the window tracker does
not have an app associated with the window.
To fix this ensure that all window related signal handlers in Workspace
are run after the ones in the window tracker.

Currently, there's one animation for the whole canvas. While it looks fine
with just one screen, it causes windows to move between screens when
switching workspaces. Instead, have a separate animation on each screen,
and sync their progress so that at any given time the progress "fraction"
is the same between all screens. Clip all animations to their screens so
that the windows don't leak to other screens.
If a window is placed between every screen, can end up in multiple
animations, in that case each part is still animated separately.

Currently, the workspace swipe transition only has one workspace in each
direction. This works until you try to do multiple swipes in quick
succession. The second swipe would continue the existing transition, which
only has 2 or 3 workspaces in it, and will hit a wall.
To prevent this, take all workspaces and arrange them into a column or row,
depending on the layout, and use that as a transition.
For the transition that happens when focusing a window on another workspace
(for example, via Alt+Tab), still use only two workspaces instead of all of
them.
Since we don't support layouts other than single rows/columns anymore,
diagonal transitions aren't supported anymore, and will be shown as
horizontal or vertical instead.
Since nw alt-tab and gesture transitions are different, don't allow to do
both at once, that is, disable swipe tracker when a programmatic transition
is going. This will also conveniently cancel a gesture transition if a
programmatic one is initiated while a gesture is in progress.

Accessing GObject properties from JS has proven to be quite slow because
of the JS->C->JS roundtrip involved. With the WindowPreview this

When the original animation was implemented, workspaces would only
ever be added at the end. We therefore got away with not having a
separate EXPANDING stage corresponding to the existing COLLAPSING
one when animating out.
Since support for creating in-between workspaces via DND was added,
this is no longer the case. And now that the thumbnails are centered,
the jump is quite noticeable.

expand new thumbnails before scaling them in.

Make the slide property control the workspace scale, so that new workspaces

There are situations where MetaWorkspaceManager and ThumbnailsBox disagree

ThumbnailsBox currently allocates each workspace thumbnail using their

we want the paint order to paint WorkspacesDisplay on top of AppDisplay.
