It makes sense for the gesture to reflect the position of the
activities button / dash. In RTL locales, those are located on
the right rather than the left, so make the gesture apply to
the opposite edge in that case.

If users click outside the search entry while it's empty we reset and
thus give up key focus. This means that when using an input method
with candidate popups, interacting with the popup with a mouse click
cancels the current input method context if there's no other text in
the entry besides the preedit string.
To avoid this we can check if the entry has preedit in addition to
checking if it has normal text.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745167
Just like keybindings and the message tray pointer barrier, gestures
don't always make sense - for instance, swiping up the screen shield
should not trigger the message tray just as the SelectArea action around
the left edge should not open the overview.
To avoid this, restrict gestures based on the current keybinding mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740237
WorkspacesDisplay relies on being hidden to disable workspace switches
by scrolling or panning. Usually viewSelector will hide the previous
page on page switch, but we currently miss the case when opening the
overview at the app picker, where the workspaces page is still shown
for the transition, but never hidden.
Fix this by calling hide() in addition to setting the opacity to 0 at
the end of the overview animation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737534
This lets us considerably clean up the event flow here and change how
things are structured. It also makes sure that we never show "No
Results" -- search.js not being aware of the timeout means that it might
not think that any work was being done when we show the page.
Following design decision, we want to animate AllView and FrequentView
when opening and closing with a swarm spring form.
This involves a few changes needed to allow that, since from some time
now, we are animating page changes in viewSelector, using only a fade
transition. However now we want to let appDisplay and iconGrid apply its
own animation.
For that we special case the change to and from apps page on
viewSelector to let appDisplay to animate its own items, using and API
on appDisplay which at the same time uses an API on iconGrid.
Thanks Florian Müllner for the debugging work

The zooming animation of the windows looks nice when animating
from the workspace display page, but looks weird from other pages
like apps page or search page since the windows come from nowhere
with an initial position not known to the user.
Instead of that just fade the desktop with the windows in its
original position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732901
We were calling twice showPage() with the correct page, here and in
show() / zoomFromOverview given that _resetShowAppsbutton was called
from the signal 'showing' of overview. Given that the call to
_resetShowAppsbutton is only actually used when hiding the overview we
can actually put the checked state of the button to false when animating
from overview so it shows the workspace page, causing the same behavior
of _resetShowAppsbutton without all the shenanigans of resetting when
the hiding overview signal is triggered.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732901
We currently replay events that should start a search to the search
entry, which is fairly dodgy. Synthesize a new event with the correct
source actor instead, which is a bit less evil.
Starting keynav into the active page is handled from a key-press
handler on the stage, however we should not "start" keynav when
we are already navigating elsewhere - the latter can happen when
keynav fails (for instance because the focus is trapped inside an
open app folder or at the end of the dash), and the event bubbles
up to the stage. So make sure to only handle the event to actually
start keynav, to not interfere with the normal navigation handling.
Thanks to Carlos Soriano <carlos.soriano89@gmail.com> for the
debugging footwork.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712753
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.

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

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

Since we now use the capture phase to feed events into the input

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.

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.

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

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

The keyboard hides prematurely when the user is typing into
