Converting a variable to a particular type can be done explicitly (with
functions like Number() or toString()) or implicitly by relying on type
coercion (like concatenating a variable to the empty string to force
a string, or multiplying it with 1 to force a number).
As those tend to be less readable and clear, they are best avoided. So
replace the cases of string coercion we use with template strings, and
clarify the places that can be confused with number coercion.

The monitor index is not something that gnome-shell and
gnome-settings-daemon seem to be agreeing about. Using the connector
string is a much more reliable method of identifying a specific screen
and we are indeed using this already for monitor labling.
So switch over to use the connector rather than the monitor index. If a
user tries to use the old API, then the OSD will simply show up on all
monitors (which is the status quo currently anyway).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/489
This API has been broken for quite some time now as the corresponding
mutter function meta_monitor_manager_get_monitor_for_output was removed.
If anyone tries to use it, we would just run into a backtrace.

While it is possible to register accelerators in-bulk, there is no
proper way to unregister them again. This adds the corresponding call
for UngrabAccelerator to allow ungrabbing multiple accelerators at the
same time.
The idea is that g-s-d can use this in the future to simplify the
keybinding reload logic.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/429
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/361
For the OSD, all parameters except for the icon are optional - if the
caller doesn't include the 'label' option, the OSD won't show a label
etc.
While this makes sense for an API, it means that we have to be careful
to correctly differentiate an option that was omitted and an option
that has a 'falsy' value like false or 0.
Unfortunately since commit ccaae5d3c we no longer do, with the result
that OSDs meant for the first monitor will show up on all, and a level
of 0 is presented as no level bar instead of an empty one, whoops.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791669
Allow osd representing levels that can be more than 100% by accepting
an optional parameter setting that maximum level.
gnome-settings-daemon will use this to indicate volume levels above 100%,
which our own volume indicator will soon support as well.
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.

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.

Add a new D-Bus method for setting the monitor labels. This new method
takes connector names instead of output ids for associating with actual
monitors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This DBus API is intended to be used by gnome-control-center's
displays panel to show monitor labels.
Each output (i.e. hardware monitor) identified by its
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig API ID has at most one label. On
mirrored setups, all the labels for outputs corresponding to the same
logical monitor (i.e. showing the same contents in the same mode) are
shown together.
At most, only one DBus client at a time is allowed to show labels.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743744
This will allow g-s-d to handle actions differently based on the
current mode - namely, allow the power button when locked, but
make sure to never show any dialogs in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711682
Adding new parameters to the signal currently will break keybindings
until gnome-settings-daemon is updated to the new API as well.
Put additional parameters into a dictionary instead to make future
extensions easier.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711682
I was going to add another DBus property to signal when the shell was
done loading and was idle, and while implementing that I noticed we
aren't emitting PropertyChanged for, well, any property. Let's fix
OverviewActive.
It's unfortunate it's so tedious to correctly implement a DBus
property =/
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704163
Currently, shellDBus only uses the passed in monitor index if it's
strictly > 0. A zero-index monitor is a valid one though, so don't
restrict this to strictly positive indices.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740074
We had one osdWindow that we displayed either on the primary monitor or on
whatever monitor index got passed over dbus.
Change that to show the osd on all monitors when no explicit monitor is
requested. A monitor should be requested in cases like display brightness where it makes sense to only show the osd on the affected monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722684
Instead of poking through IDLETIME, which confuses the state tracking
and can prevent automatic suspend, send a special signal to GSD
when the screen is to be waken up for a notification.
Someday we'll bring over all the state tracking and avoid this
ping-pong between gnome-shell and gnome-settings-daemon, but
that day's not today.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712706
This is also exposed in the ShowOSD DBus method, the "monitor"
parameter may contain an integer to indicate the monitor number.
If the value is not provided or <0 is used, the monitor is shown
on the primary monitor as usually.
This way, the OSD can be used to notify upon events that solely
apply to one monitor, like tablet mapping as discussed in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710373.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712664
This method, which accepts a .desktop filename, is used to highlight
a specific application in the overview, for example because it has
just been created or installed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654086
This will replace the indicator painted on the stage right now.
This unfortunately does not work for the recorder triggered by the
keybinding -- we'll simply replace the in-shell code with a keybinding
powered by gnome-settings-daemon.
Some keyboard spot a dedicated search key, which gnome-settings-daemon
currently handles by spawning gnome-search-tool. It makes a lot of
sense to promote the Shell's integrated search feature instead, so
expose an appropriate DBus method g-s-d can use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700536
Like screenshots, the screen recorder can be a useful tool in other cases
than being triggered by a keyboard shortcut. To account for that, export
a Screencast DBus API similar to the existing Screenshot interface.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696247
Eval() is expected to return a boolean success value and a string result.
However when the function is disabled (via the development-tools setting),
we return null for the latter which is not a valid string value.
Return an empty string instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698959
Now that we have an explicit active-but-not-locked state, we should
use different signals to notify changes. lock-status-changed is
renamed to active-changed, and a new locked-changed is introduced.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693007
In time span between idle and lock the shield should behave like autologin,
but should prevent accidental reactivation (for example when using a touch
screen) by showing the curtain.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692560
Since we're breaking API already, take this as an occasion to use a
separate interface for all the screenshot-related methods. The interface
name is org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot.
Internally, move all the related code to screenshot.js.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688004
Since we also support passing a basename now, clients might be
interested in knowing the path used to save the file.
Add an out argument to the interface for that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688004
If a non-absolute path is passed to the screenshot methods, treat it as
a basename for the output image, and automatically try to save it in
$XDG_PICTURES_DIR, falling back to $HOME if it doesn't exist.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688004
This is meant to expose the global.session_mode to applications such
as the gnome-tweak-tool, which would need it to differentiate between
the vanilla GNOME Shell mode and the fallback replacement mode.
