Rather than implement special focus policies like only allowing keynav
when pressing down, simply give the active page key focus when entering
the overview.
This may break stuff, as it's somewhat of a tricky patch to get right.
Testing this one would be super appreciated.

AppDisplay queues a deferred work to load frequently used apps when the
apps page is loaded. Unfortunately, when the overview is first opened,
all the pages start out visible and then immediately get hidden, so the
deferred work runs immediately after the first overview opening, whether
the user was going to view their frequent apps or not.
Start all pages off as hidden, and rearrange the code so that pages are
only shown when they really need to be.

The existing provider system is split between a confusing mess of
RemoteSearch, SearchSystem, SearchDisplay, and ViewSelector, partly
because of the vestigal in-shell search system. Move most of the
logic to search.js so it's easier to read.
search.js used to do a lot more, but now that most of the
functionality has been moved to the remote search system,
it doesn't do a lot. Merge searchDisplay.js into it.
It's been broken for quite a bit since we removed Panel.Animation,
and hasn't really ever worked with our new search results. It's also
the only non-remote provider left.
Maybe we'll add it back as a remote provider later, but for now, just
ditch it.
It is expected that the primary and secondary icons in entries
change places in RTL locales. When doing so, the edit-clear
icon must be replaced by an rtl variant too.

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.

As we want to eventually track two geometries, we need to rename
our very plain "_x, _y, _width, _height". While we could just prefix
them, I think that stuffing them in an object makes more sense.
At the same time, make the variable and method name more descriptive
by adding such a prefix, as well as a bit of documentation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
To ensure that we don't recalculate window layouts when zooming
in or out, we need to always pass the full geometry. This will
break window repositioning when we zoom back in; for the purposes
of commit clarity, this breaks this feature for now. It will be
added back soon.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694469
This is a new, regular keybinding for going to the overview.
The default binding is Super-S, which goes well with Super-A
for going to the application grid.
This is separate from the existing panel-main-menu keybinding,
so that we can keep Alt-F1 opening the main menu in classic mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698251
We recently started to trim leading and trailing whitespace from
the search string, and not to trigger a search when the resulting
string was empty. However we still allow whitespace to trigger
type-ahead-find, so that the key focus is moved briefly to the
search entry and back to the stage, resulting in a disruptive
flickering of the entry.
Fix this by excluding whitespace from triggering type-ahead-find.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694475
With categories removed, the separation between AllAppDisplay and
ViewByCategories no longer makes sense. Also use this opportunity
to rename the outdated AllAppDisplay to AppDisplay; it will
eventually be used to manage different views.

If the animation time is not the same for these two, the translation
will be adjusted to the allocation during the tween, resulting in a jump

When we reset the state of the checked button due to the overview
showing and hiding, block the normal checked callback and immediately
switch to the workspaces page, so that windows seamlessly fade in.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693974
Set the checked property explicitly. This is because
resetShowAppsButton() will only be used to flip the button state
blocking the page change in a future commit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693974
This is nothing but a middle man, as the view selector already owns
the search system. We want to start being a bit more tricky with what
we do with the search system so that we ignore whitespace, so let's
cut the middle-man out now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693458
In the overview, when there is no text in the search entry, this._searchActive
will be set to false. Moving the Clutter.Return code block ensures that
pressing enter in the search field after deleting the characters of a search
will no longer launch the #1 application for the previous search.

'active' isn't terribly clear about just what is active; also, make it
private, remove an useless extra object state we were saving, and
refactor some messy code.
Based on a patch by Tanner Doshier.

Since commit 0c807bddaf, the run dialog no longer handles Escape
key presses itself but uses the action key mechanism of modal dialogs.
As the latter uses key-release events, our own handling of the Escape
key runs on key-press.
Fix this by bailing out early if anything has pushed a modal in addition
to the overview (like system modals, looking glass, ...).

The top panel and message tray icons were by default a gnome foot and
are replaced by better ones. The applications icon is now using the
symbolic apps icon of the dash, and the windows icon is also improved.

This is a workaround for power users for the "Show Apps" button
placement being too inconvenient to press at the bottom of the

Remove the PlacesManager, its search provider and all associated code.
Places search is now provided by nautilus using the external search

Since we now use the capture phase to feed events into the input
method, we must set the capture flag for the event that starts
searches so that IMs can get at it.

With the latest changes to the overview, the application view is now
clearly on a different level compared to the window picker. For that
reason it now makes sense to close it on Escape rather than hiding
the overview directly, as we do for search.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
Rather than relying on implementation details of StWidget's keyboard
navigation to "hide" the focusTrap from arrow key navigation, implement
the desired behavior explicitly in a custom widget.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663901
Tabs used to provide an abstraction for a page and the control used to
activate it. As the latter has now been replaced with external controls
handled directly in the viewSelector, the abstraction itself doesn't make
much sense anymore. In preparation of replacing it, move the search
handling provided by the SearchTab directly in the viewSelector.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
We pass the dash’s showApps button to the viewSelector, and we connect it
to the showing and hiding of the appsView. This is necessary because there
are different mechanisms for switching the views, and it has to stay in
sync with the button’s state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
The entry should be positioned in the center of the overview. This makes
that its position can’t be set in the viewSelector without making things
overly complicated. Therefore we move the entry to the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
Design calls for views being accessible by other means than the current tab
system, so we have no longer a need for the public viewTab API. Move the
initialization of tabs to the viewSelector and make
viewSelector.addViewTab() private.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682109
The original design for the overview had buttons for searching for
Wikipedia and Google, but in practice this is a bad idea. The buttons
are the default activations, meaning that using the overview as a
fluent motion of launching something - "firefxo<Enter>", will launch
Google/Wikipedia.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670168
We currently require users to tab away from the search entry before
search results can be navigated using arrow keys. For convenience,
support using arrow keys directly from the entry.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663901
With the recent keynav changes, the keyboard focus can now move
away from the search entry while a search is active. While we
keep the focus entry style while a search is active, we set the
cursor visibility depending on whether the entry has focus. This
doesn't seem very logical, so always request to show the cursor
when we appear focused.
Note that at least for now we are just expressing intent, as clutter
never draws the cursor for unfocused entries.
When canceling a search pressing Escape while the focus is on the
search entry we clear the entry, set its text to the hint and go back
to the previously selected tab. Make this the behavior also for when
the focus is on search results and not on the entry itself.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663901
WorkspacesDisplay was introduced to manage the workspace objects
and views; however, the overview still accesses the view held
by the workspacesDisplay directly, which is a bit odd.
Add some additional methods needed by the overview, and make the
view a private property.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
All classes that have at least one other derived class (and thus
benefit from the framework) have been now ported. These includes
NMDevice, SearchProvider, AltTab.SwitcherList, and some other

Use ShellEntry.addContextMenu() to add context menus to most
existing entries, with the exception of:
- the login dialog - it may act be used to enter either the
username (e.g. no password entry) or the
password, and copy/paste does not make sense
(nowhere to copy from, nowhere to paste to)
- notifications - while adding a context menu is useful here as
well, it will require changes to the tray's
focus grab handling, so leave those entries
out for now
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659275
The keyboard hides prematurely when the user is typing into
an empty search box because the click is a captured event that
triggers a loss of entry focus. By adding a keyboard check to
this event, the problem is solved.

As extensions are now expected to provide a "disable" function,
they need to remove search providers they added. Implement the

Some search providers may want to change their results, or may not
want to block on an external service to get their results (DBus, etc.)

results at a later time.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655220
In the current implementation of the search entry, when replacing a
selected search term with another term, the first character of the
replacement is prepended to the hint text rather than starting a new
search. This fix makes sure that the focus is not lost when changing
the selected search term.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636341
The icon set as secondary icon of the search entry depends on whether
a search is active or not - clicking the icon should reset the entry
only in the former case. This is implemented by connecting/disconnecting
the 'secondary-icon-clicked' signal when updating the icon, but an
additional signal connection was left-over when refactoring the search
entry, resulting in clicks on the inactive icon removing the hint text.
Fix by removing the stray signal connection.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646855
The fade effect when switching tabs should only be applied when
switching from a previously selected tab, not when selecting the
initial one - otherwise, the window previews are faded in the first
time the overview is shown.

Add the idea of an 'id' for a tab, and add a public switchTab method

Add Ctrl-Alt-Tab support to ViewTab, and fix the Applications pane to

Rather than connecting to stage::capture-event and then trying to
guess whether or not a given key-press should be handled by us or not,
handle the end-search-on-Escape case from entry::key-press-event
(since it only makes sense when the entry is focused anyway) and the
start-search-on-printable-key case from stage::key-press-event (which
will only get the events that no other actor wanted for itself).
Similarly, do exit-overview-on-Escape and switch-panes cases from
stage::key-press-event, rather than
viewSelector.actor::key-press-event, so that they will work correctly
even if the keyboard focus is somewhere else. (Also fix a longstanding
bug in the pane-switching code, which was supposed to be disabled when
a search was active, but was checking a non-existent variable.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642502
The search entry was taking a sort of grab when it was in the
focused-but-empty state, and would eat up most events for other actors
(except, confusingly, for panel actors). The only bit of "modality" we
really need here is that the entry is supposed to go back to the
unfocused state if you click somewhere outside it when it was in the
focused-but-empty state. So do that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642502

'Search your computer' is problematic for various reasons:
- it specifies the kind of device
- it focuses on local search (while we also do web search)
- it does not advertise the instant search functionality

For historical reasons, StEntry always did hover tracking when you had
visible hint_text, even if track_hover was FALSE. Remove that special
case, and make entries track hover just like all other widgets do.
If we actually needed to distinguish hovered-with-hint-text from
hovered-without-hint-text (which, at the moment, we don't), we could
do that by setting separate CSS for :hover and :hover:indeterminate.

As Main.overview is now usable from the view selector's constructor,
move the setup of signal connections there and remove the show/hide

To enable find-as-you-type when entering the overview and disabling
it when leaving, we used a chain of functions calls from ViewSelector
over SearchTab to SearchEntry. As find-as-you-type should be enabled
while the overview is shown, the activation/deactivation can be
handled entirely by the SearchEntry itself by tying it to the entry's
visibility.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642196
Until recently, the clutter keyboard focus was almost always kept on
the stage, and bits of code that wanted to do stuff with the keyboard
would just watch for key-press-events on the stage. In several places,
the code wasn't even bothering to ensure that the focus was on the
stage, which caused problems with other actors that explicitly grabbed
focus.
A previous fix for this (f21403fd) was to always reset the focus to
the stage after calling pushModal(), but a better fix is to just
actually make use of the keyboard focus everywhere rather than having
everyone try to read events off the stage.
Now pushModal(actor) also does actor.grab_key_focus(), and various
bits of code have been changed to read key events off their own
toplevels rather than off the stage, meaning there's no chance of them
accidentally getting someone else's events.
