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.

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
stuff around.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661340
js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660358
As extensions are now expected to provide a "disable" function,
they need to remove search providers they added. Implement the
removal functionality and add a public removeSearchProvider()
method.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657548
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.)
Set up an infrastructure to allow search providers to add their search
results at a later time.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre and Seif Lotfy.

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.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644389
Add the idea of an 'id' for a tab, and add a public switchTab method
so you can switch to 'applications' or 'windows'. This will be useful
for performance tests that test tab switching performance.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644266
Add Ctrl-Alt-Tab support to ViewTab, and fix the Applications pane to
scroll to track the keyboard focus.
The Windows pane can be switched to, but navigation within the pane is
not yet implemented.

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
The division of labor between the two was quite muddled. Rather than
try to invent a clean distinction of what belongs where, just merge
them together.

'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
Change the hint text to 'Type to search' as proposed by Allan Day.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642287
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642483
As Main.overview is now usable from the view selector's constructor,
move the setup of signal connections there and remove the show/hide
methods which were used as workaround.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642196
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618885
The view selector should only deal with view switching, so move the
logic to deal with search (find-as-you-type, cancelling a search,
navigating/activating results) into the SearchTab.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634948
The view selector is a tabbed interface with a search entry. Starting
a search switches focus to the results' tab, ending a search moves the
focus back to the previously selected tab. Activating a normal tab
while a search is active cancels the search.
