Pause dynamic workspace management while workspaceSwitcherPopup
is shown so as to eliminate infinite creation and destruction of
workspaces, thus preventing stuttering while trying to move a
window to last workspace.
Add _isWorkspacePrepended flag to make sure only a single workspace
is prepended at a time thus preventing the possibility of prepending
infinite workspaces while dynamic workspace management is on pause.
Prepend a new workspace by creating a new workspace instead of only
shifting the windows to next workspace so that the workspaceSwitcherPopup
may appear in sync with what's happening behind the scene and display
correct number of workspaces.

"Moving" a window to another workspace doesn't make sense when it cannot
be unstuck, and is potentially confusing if a new workspace is added at
the start/end - just don't do anything in that case.

Users currently can't switch VTs while at the login screen.
This commit fixes that, by adding the relevant keybindings
to the login screen's allowed keybindings list.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744800
The code described by the comment was moved away in commit eda27d51,
so it is not misleading at best. It wasn't too useful to begin with,
so kill it off rather than moving it to the correct place ...
When using dynamic workspaces, a new workspace will be appended
when moving a window down to the last (empty) workspace. It makes
sense to extend the behavior in the opposite direction, and prepend
a new workspace when moving a window up from the first workspace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
New workspaces are inserted by shifting all windows on workspaces
below the insertion position down. As a result, when the new
workspace is inserted before the active one, we end up with
the illusion of a workspace switch. Instead, activate the workspace
on which the windows from the active one ended up.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
We are not supposed to mess around with OR windows, so don't try
to shift them to a different workspace. This fixes a warning with
newer versions of mutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
We will soon allow to insert a new workspace by other means than
DND in between workspace thumbnails, so move the relevant code
to a new windowManager method.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665764
So that we'll recreate it the next time we want to show it. Otherwise,
we'll try to call things on a half-destroyed ResizePopup and end up
causing errors instead of showing the user their resize popup.
When animating workspace switches, windows on the old and new workspaces
are temporarily reparented. If windows are restacked, those windows will
thus be ignored by mutter until meta_switch_workspace_completed() resyncs
the stacking at the end of the animation.
As a result, activating a window on another workspace that is not on top
of the stack is very noticeably a two-step operation of switching workspace
and raising the window. There is a technical reason for that order[0], but
we can avoid the visible disruption by manually syncing the stack during
the switch operation.

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
Now that mutter gives a way to check if a MetaKeyBinding was marked as
'reversed' or not, gnome-shell does not have to hardcode that a
MetaKeyBinding using a shift modifier is reversed, it can directly check
if the appropriate flag is set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732296
The animation is the same for modal dialogs, but it is now
run for non modal dialogs too (matching the new behavior on
show).
In addition, we run a destroy animation for normal windows,
if they use CSD (there are technical limitations that prevent
running animations after destroy on server decorated windows)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732857
Commit 6c2f3d1d17 moved pref overrides into JS to implement
session mode specific overrides in a clean and generic way.
However that approach comes with a cost - doing the overrides only
after having handled over control to JS means that the core will
be initialized with the non-overridden settings before changing
to the correct values. In the best case this is unnecessary work,
but it can in fact have a worse effect: when initializing workspaces,
we will restore the previous number of workspaces when using
dynamic-workspaces and reset to the configured number otherwise.
As the non-overridden default for dynamic-workspaces is FALSE, we
can easily end up moving the user's windows to the "wrong" workspace.
Now GSettings is expected to grow support for session specific defaults,
which will render our entire override system obsolete (yay!). Given
that, it seems acceptable to use a less generic (and uglier) approach
in the meanwhile, in order to fix aforementioned problems. So move
overrides back before core initialization and just hardcode the
session-mode => override-schema relation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695487
Having the full geometry of the menu's source button (if any) will
allow us to address several misbehaviors of window menus, so use
that instead of show_menu().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731058
We now allow "appmenu" in the button layout to make synchronizing it
with GTK+'s client-side decorations easier, but as some people tweak
their settings to get in-window app menus even when using the shell,
actually pop up the app menu when the button is activated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730752
With tile previews being implemented as Clutter actors in the shell, we
can now easily add fancy animations when showing/hiding the preview.
Besides looking more polished, the animations also help understanding
what will happen to the window when the drag is finished.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665758
Currently workspaces (except for the last one) are removed when
they become empty. While we do have special treatment for the
case where the currently active workspace is removed, we just
move directly without animations to the last workspace to avoid
ending up on a "random" workspace. However this behavior is still
a bit confusing, so keep the workspace around instead until the
user decides to move to another one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709064
Windows in the overview should be like they appear in the workspace,
including modal dialogs that are attached above them.
In addition, hiding the dialogs in the overview causes a flash as
dialog appears at the end of the transition.
Based on a patch by Maxim Ermilov <zaspire@rambler.ru>
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650843
Activating the overview is fairly easy (hot corner, <super>), so doing it
automatically after closing the last window on a workspace does not save
a lot of effort; it does result in a surprising context switch when the
user does not expect the behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662581
Unfortunately, display configuration can and does fail, due
to unspecified HW constraints, drivers bugs, unsupported exotic
configurations or just bad luck.
So when the user makes a change in the control center, show
a dialog asking him if it looks OK, and revert back after 20 seconds
otherwise.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706208
We've long had the hasWorkspaces property, but it doesn't seem like
it was ever used. Implement it so that we don't have workspaces in
initial-setup mode.
Since it's difficult to make it change at runtime with a decent set
of semantics, and we never expect that to happen, don't bother
implementing it dynamically.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698593
We currently monitor the shell's override schema for changes to
the 'dynamic-workspaces' key, which ends up being the wrong
schema in classic mode. With the new ability to use mode-specific
overides, we can finally fix this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701717
Currently we show the workspace popup for relative targets ("up", "down"),
but not when targetting a specific workspace directly.
There is not really a good reason for that difference, and as we are about
to introduce a new shortcut to target the last workspace (which does vary
with dynamic workspaces), it makes sense to unify the behavior and always
show the switcher.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659288
It makes sense to allow closing the app menu with the same shortcut
that is used to open it, so make it a toggle action and allow it
TOPBAR_POPUP mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686756
Alt-Tab away from a monitor sized on the primary monitor results into the top
panel being displayed on top of the window which looks very bad.
So just hide those windows by minimizing them.
The icon geometry animation does not really make sense for fullscreen windows
so just fade them out.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693991
meta_display_add_keybinding() returns a keybinding action ID for
dynamically registered keybindings which can be used to match a
keycode/mask pair to the action it is bound to.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682315
We previously scaled windows to (primary.x, 0), which is wrong if the
primary monitor is not at y == 0. At the same time, change the policy
to pick the hot corner on the monitor the window is on, because that's
closest to where it will appear in the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690241
If we overwrite a map animation (for example because the actor is now destroyed),
we need to complete it first, otherwise it starts off from a random
middle point. This is the same treatment opacity gets for normal windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690241
Now that we use the new 'switch-applications' keybinding for the
application-based alt-tab popup, we can use the 'switch-windows'
keybinding for a more traditional switcher.
Based heavily on the alternate-tab extension from Giovanni Campagna.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688913
The Shell's alt-tab popup is application-based, so using the
'switch-windows' keybinding for it never really made sense.
Use the newly added 'switch-applications' keybinding instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688913
The original condition the property was based on was added to make
the a11y switcher available in the login screen, though it did never
work properly - after popping up the switcher, additional tab key
presses were ignored. As we are now able to filter bindings much more
selectively, we can simplify the check and drop the sessionMode property.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
With the new flexible system in place, there's no point explicitly
hardcoding some built-in keybindings; just use the generic mechanism
for everything.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
Currently we hardcode the set of keybindings that are available in the
overview; add a generic mechanism to specify in which KeybindingModes
a keybinding should be available.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
We are currently using a hack to allow a select set of keybindings
in the overview. Implement the new MetaPlugin keybinding_filter
hook, which provides a cleaner way to achieve the same.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
The fade animation we started using after centering attached
modal dialogs didn't work too well. So after going back to the
scale animation, adjust it to scale from the center rather
than the top, which works quite well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681601
The combination of desaturating and lowering the brightness does
not work too well in all cases, in particular for applications
using the dark theme variant. Dropping the desaturation effect and
making the brightness adjustment more profound gives a better
result.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681601
Changing the number of workspaces while the popup was visible (which
happens when moving windows on the last non empty workspace) resulted
in a wrong layout. Fix that, by listening to workspace-added and
workspace-removed signals, and by always requesting an updated size
from the actor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679005
While modal dialogs were attached to the parent's titlebar, it
made sense to leave the top of the parent window at full color.
With the new position of modal dialogs, it makes more sense to dim
the entire parent window, so we can use a combination of Clutter's
BrightnessContrast- and DesaturateEffect instead of our own custom
shader.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674499
With modal dialogs no longer being attached to their parents'
titlebar, the current animation no longer works too well. Use
a simple fade animation instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674499
Right now the "move to workspace" keyboard shortcut transition isn't smooth. It
shows the window disappearing, hopping to the next workspace, and then sliding
into view. "Pin" the window to the stage while the animation is in progress,
then release it afterwards.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660839
Install a custom handler for move-to-workspace-* keybindings that
shows the workspace switcher, which gives the user a sense of
direction when navigating with the keyboard.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674104
Most of code implementing workspace switches was repeated with
minor differences on each direction. Instead, consolidate it
and use the new meta_workspace_get_neighbor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674104
With the application menu now being more than a stub, it has
become a much more interesting target, so add a keyboard shortcut
to open it directly.
This should also ease some of the pain for focus-follows-mouse users.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672909
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().
