Consider the existing input sources MRU only valid if it contained
more than one element to pick from. Fixes the following situation
with initial-setup sessions:
- Initial setup Session starts, with several input sources already
configured ("us" between them)
- InputSourceManager initializes, only the default "us" keymap is
available
- MRU list is constructed, "us" is picked
- InputSourceManager catches up with session configuration, the
other extra sources are added
- MRU list is reconstructed, "us" is already the most recent
- Session ends up with "us" picked, regardless of its position in
the list, and no MRU existing prior to startup
If we consider the intermediate single-element MRU list invalid,
it is still possible to pick the best default source between all
the configured ones (the one that was put first in the list,
basically), after initialization is complete.
But also, it is unnecessary to have if there is a single source to
pick from. After the sources list has two elements or more, the
MRU list will become effective and preserved during changes to
the available sources.

In older versions of GNOME, when a menu was used for Bluetooth devices,
we tried to avoid showing the Bluetooth menu to folks who didn't use
Bluetooth.
This kept causing problems as the menu would disappear if no
devices were setup and the platform "airplane mode" removed the
Bluetooth device from the USB bus, making it impossible to detect
whether a Bluetooth device existed, compared to a user unplugging a
removable Bluetooth device.

When updating the MRU sources if there was no prior MRU, we want
to go with the unmodified list of sources in visibility order.
However iterating over object properties happens in an undetermined
order, so the initial MRU list ends up picking a value at random.
In order to prefer the sources list in the same order than they
appear in the menu if there was no prior MRU, order the keys
when accessing it and building the initial list of sources.

Use Meta.LaterType.BEFORE_REDRAW to queue setting the bind constraint
offset in an idle callback. This is needed since the signals that
trigger updating the offset may be emitted during allocation, at which
point queuing new relayouts isn't ideal, since it could result in
relayout cycles. In this case, we really do want to relayout as a side
effect of another actors allocation, so make this explicit.
This fixes a few warnings such as:
The actor '<unnamed>[<StBoxLayout>:0x3138d70]' is currently inside an
allocation cycle; calling clutter_actor_queue_relayout() is not recommended

Pipewire 0.3.52 via commit a1f33a99 introduced a change that affects how
long pipewiresrc holds onto the pw_buffers it dequeued. Before that
change the pw_buffer was held until the end of the videoconvert element
at the beginning of the pipeline. After that change the pw_buffer was
held onto until the filesink at the end of the pipeline. This was
starving MetaScreenCastStreamSrc of pw_buffers to record new frames
into, resulting in the majority of frames being missed, especially in
situations in which the encoder was taking longer.
Pipewire 0.3.57 via commit 1ea1d525 will allow queuing the pw_buffer
early again via the `always-copy` option. This however is only a
workaround until a proper solution is found in either pipewire or
gstreamer that does not depend on copying the buffer contents and
instead queues the pw_buffer again after videoconvert as prior to
a1f33a99.
Since it is not clear yet when a proper solution will arrive, this makes
use of `always-copy` as a workaround for now and should be reverted once
it is no longer needed.

The object the SignalTracker belongs to is stored in a map managed by
the SignalManager which keeps a reference to that object. This map is
never destroyed nor is any entry ever removed. This leads to all objects
that ever had SignalTrackers used on them being kept alive even after
all references outside of the SignalTracker are long gone. This then
also extends to other objects which are leaked indirectly through
reference chains from these objects.
And if some of those objects are GObjects, this will prevent them from
being finalized, leaking further resources. A StWidget for example will
not release its shadow textures.
Fix this by destroying the SignalTracker and removing it from the
SignalManager once the last signal it was tracking has been untracked.
A WeakMap could have been used as well, but we need the Map to be
iterable in some of the following changes.

After the next commit, when some classes, such as PopupMenuManager try
to disconnect via a destroy handler, the SignalTracker might have
already been destroyed, so trying to get it from the SignalManager will
cause it to create a new one, which will then try to connect to the
destroy signal of the already destroyed object.
This could for example be triggered by changing backgrounds.
Fix this by not doing anything in disconnectObject if there is no

If a device has multiple connections set up, then at most one of
those can be active at a time, which is why they are presented
as radio items.
In contrast, VPN connections are not mutually exclusive, each can
be turned on or off independently. Setting :radio-mode on them
currently means that VPN connections can be activated, but never
disabled.
So instead of abusing the :radio-mode property to give VPN items
the UI we want, use regular items that reflect the desired behavior
and explicitly set up the UI the way we want.

We got a shiny new screenshot UI last cycle, but only relatively

We will expose the screenshot UI from quick settings, including

It is currently not possible to bring up the screenshot UI while

We still don't want screencasts in that case, because they are
much easier to abuse for filling up someone else's disk.
That restriction is enforced by inhibiting remote access in the

Still, not offering an action that is unavailable is better than
having it fail silently, so do exactly that.

It is generally not possible to differentiate between systems
without bluetooth support, and systems where a bluetooth adapter
is powered down.
We work around that by tracking whether there are any set up devices,
and keep the bluetooth visible in that case, even when no adapter
is present.
However commit eeabdd150c moved updating the setting into the code
that handles adapter changes, which is exactly the place where we
carefully avoid changing the setting because it would be too
unreliable (devices may have already disappeared, or not yet
appeared).
Fix this by changing _setHadSetupDevices() to _syncHadSetupDevices()
and call that everywhere _sync() used to be called, *except* on
adapter changes.

This mode changes the current IBus engine to ibus-typing-booster
under the rug (i.e. no changes in keyboard status menu) for any
XKB engine selected.
In order to make it useful for the currently selected language,
the typing-booster dictionary is changed to the current XKB
layout language. And since the OSK has its own emoji panel,
typing-boosters own emoji completion is disabled.
These changes only apply as long as the OSK panel is shown,
reverting to the original engine and typing-booster configuration
after it is hidden. This in theory also caters for users that
do have ibus-typing-booster enabled as an input source.
The final effect is text prediction for the language that is
being typed, according to the OSK layout, given that
ibus-typing-booster and the relevant hunspell dictionaries are
used.

This action will replace CLUTTER_KEY_Backspace emission for
the OSK backspace key. Following the available mockups, implement
different modes of operation:
- Single tap deletes a single character
- Long tap starts deleting characters one by one
- Longer tap switches to word-by-word deletion
This is made possible via the input method surrounding text,
inspecting the string to look the previous char/word position
backwards, and relies on IM focus providing enough context.
Since deleting text and getting surrounding text are both
async operations, we make one happen after the other, until
the button is released.

Keep it consistent with the rest of the actions. For long press
handling (i.e. shift turning to caps lock), this also means the
release action should be cancelled after any long press, to prevent
both from taking effect at the same time.
Prior to this commit, we used to switch level (and hide the button
being pressed) on button press, which made its long press handler
never get a paired release and end up triggering caps lock.
Performing the action on release ensures the shift key button does
not fall into this situation, making this issue moot.

Have these defined in the JSON files themselves, instead of trying

If any device is in hotspot mode, use the corresponding item as

Wireless items represent a single adapter, but wireless connectivity
is controlled globally under NetworkManager.
So instead of delegating activation to items, bind the :checked

As any wireless devices will change their state to UNAVAILABLE
when wireless is disabled, don't remove corresponding items in
that case to keep the section visible.

Whether the device is used as a hotspot is currently only

As the sections are about to turn into quick toggles, they need
to be able to perform an action on click.

DeviceItems are sections, and therefore not actually activatable.
However when we port to quick settings, those toggles will need
to do *something*.
For that reason, provide an activate() implementation that
1. deactivates the device if currently connected
2. delegates the action to the most-recently used item,
the first visible item or the auto-connect item (in that
order)

The primary indicator is a bit tricker than the VPN one: The source
of the binding can change depending on the connection, and we still
want to show it when there is a network connection we don't know
about (either because we don't handle the device type, or the
device isn't managed by NetworkManager).
Bindings still make the whole thing a lot nicer though.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2408>
This is the last property that will be needed by the future
betwork quick toggles.
It maps to the same item as :icon-name, except when more than one
item is active. In that case, we overrule the binding and return
a generic name and count (like "VPN (2)").
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2408>
Again no big surprise, a property that will soon correspond to the
quick toggle's icon.
It is more involved than the :checked property though, which is just
a simple boolean.
To keep it as simple as possible, we set up a binding group and use
that to bind the :icon-name property.
As state changes, we then update the group's source with the item
we deem to best represent the section as a whole at the given
moment.
That is (in that order):
- the first active item
- the most recently used item
- the top-most visible item

Instead of subclassing PopupMenuSection, it is now a plain GObject
that has a `menu` JS property.
That brings it a tad bit closer to QuickMenuToggle, which is another
GObject with a `menu` property.

we'll add some (fake) properties so we can hook everything up,
and then it's finally time for the big switch.

We treat wake up requests the same as user activity, as in general
the two behave the same: Turn on the screen and reset the idle watch
until the system becomes idle again.
The big exception is when the screen isn't locked yet. In that case
user activity should interrupt the automatic screen lock, but a
request to wake-up the screen (like showing a notification) should
not.
Address this by ignoring wake-up requests while the screen shield
isn't active, as we can expect the screen to still be turned on at
that point.

This brings back the ability to drop an icon beyong the last page.
Because the acceptDrop() method does not have access to the target

The API surface of IconGrid was originally meant to be only

predict the grid size based on the CSS box model.
Remove adaptToSize() from BaseAppView and child classes. It still
is an internal detail of the IconGrid class, but it's not exposed
as a "public" method anymore.
This removal is not perfect, as it doesn't move or compensate for
any of page indicators and arrows code. This will be done in follow
up commits introducing a new layout manager for that.

Another step in dismantling AppDisplay before reintroducing some
of the elements there. Instead of adding a certain amount of
padding, capped at 200px, always give the grid all available size.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2335>
The stack widget once was a ShellStack and had a prominent role
in layouting AppDisplay, but after a series of reworks it's now
effectively unused, and can be safely removed.
Remove the '_stack' widget from AppDisplay.

We'll have to dismantle parts of AppDisplay and BaseAppView in
order to introduce navigation arrows in a way that won't drive
people insane.
Start this dismantling by removing the fade effect. It looks odd
for now, since we still set padding to the app grid, but that
will change soon too.

Space will be less of a concern when each sections becomes its own
menu, but it's still not infinite. To address this, enable MRU
tracking and limit the list to the eight most recently used items.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Devices do not have an associated timestamp, but as we can now
track the MRU order of their connections, it makes sense to consider
the time of the most recent succesful connection the timestamp
of the device item.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
We always display items sorted by name, but there are cases where a
second order by recency is interesting. Add an option to ItemSorter
to keep such a list and allow accessing it with another generator
function.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Connections have a timestamp property, which records the last time
it was succesfully activated. This is useful information to us, as
more recently used connections are likely more relevant than ones
that haven't been used for a long time (or not at all).
To make use of it in the future, expose that timestamp as a property.
Only connections support it, but we will soon provide a reasonable
value for devices as well, so add the property to the base class.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Eventually each section will turn into its own menu, which should
include a single settings item.
This also removes the odd duplication of items, now that we avoid
using submenus where possible.
In general this is straight-forward, except for modems: Some
models are now supported by a dedicated wwan panel, while others
still use the generic network one.
Address this by adding items for either panel, but only show one
at a time. The new panel is used if *any* modem is supported,
only when all modems require it, the legacy panel is used.
Hopefully that shouldn't be an issue for many users, as using many
different modems with different capabilities should be fairly rare
(except for Aleksander Morgado, but I think he can handle it)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
We currently stopped using submenus altogether, but that only works
- if there is a single connection that represents
the device as a whole
- if there is just one device, so it is unambiguous
what device items belong to
To implement that behavior, add a 'single-device-mode' property that
NMDeviceSection can set on its items, and have items update their
'use-submenu' property based on that.
For wireless devices it's a straight mapping, as its items represent
wireless networks that can appear and disappear by just walking around
(multiple wifi adapters also sounds rather fringey).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Now that device sections manage a list of items, and the VPN section
manages a list of items, it's time to split out a shared base.
The class will get more involved over time, and eventually become
the base of all network quick items.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
We got the indicator out of the business of tracking connections,
now it's time to do the same for devices.
Let sections track device additions and removals, and create device
items for them as it sees fit.
It also allows the sections to handle the ::activation-failed signal
by themselves, instead of passing it on from device items.
With this, the indicator is now solely responsible for global state:
Manage the top bar indicators, notify on connection failures, and run
the portal helper when NetworkManager detects a captive portal.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
As mentioned when doing the same for VPN connections, it is currently
the indicator itself that keeps track of added and removed connections.
It then has to figure out the correct section, and iterate through all
its device items so each item can check whether the connection
corresponds to its device.
Stop that mess, and let each device item keep its connections updated
by itself. That is actually way easier, as NM.Device already exposes
available connections through a property, so we can get rid of all
the checkConnection() shenanigans.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
We currently wait until we got a connection to NetworkManager.
That's possible because the old PanelMenu indicator API takes
a menu, so it is possible to add or remove items dynamically
later.
That won't be the case with quick settings, where `quickSettingsItems`
is a plain array that is only read once when adding the indicator.
Prepare for that by moving section initialization into the constructor.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Now that wi-fi devices will be handled by a separate menu toggle
instead of as part of a combined system menu, there is no longer
a need of delegating network selection to a separate dialog.
To keep the menu from growing too much, the (sorted) list of
displayed networks is kept at a limit of eight. There is always
Settings for a complete list…
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
In terms of UI, this means that in the common case where we have
a single (or no) connection, the device can be represented as a
single menu item rather than a submenu.
But more importantly, all our menu items inherit from the same
GObject class now, so we can use bindings where appropriate.
This will later extend to quick toggles as well.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
The class implements a menu item that contains a section which
can be collapsed into a submenu.
It is very common for network devices to only have one associated
connection, so hiding away a single item in a submenu is fairly
inconvenient.
This class will address this, by only using a submenu when it is
actually needed.
Although the main issue it addresses is that menus (including
sections) aren't GObjects. This gives us a GObject that can
be added to a menu, and that can itself contain other menu
items.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
The class only provides the GObject properties that are currently
defined by NMConnectionItem, plus a way to set the active connection
that should be used for the item's :is-active state.
Its sole purpose is to provide a shared base for both device- and
connection items, and to have that base be a GObject so we can
start linking properties via bindings rather than manual fiddling.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Let's keep things simple and use the same appearance regardless
of the number of configured VPNs. Also unlike for device items,
every connection item in the VPN section is a toplevel item, so
there isn't a real need for different presentations.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
The NMConnectionSection class is used - surprise - to manage a
list of related connections. And while the presentation of VPN
items is slightly different from connections associated with
devices (switches vs. ornaments), it makes perfect sense for
the VPN section to share the nitty-gritty with the base class.
But…
Right now it is perfectly fine for NMConnectionSection to be
used both as a child element in a device section, and as toplevel
item of the VPN section. Any nesting of sections is entirely
transparent to the user, and all connection sections appear as
submenu items in the toplevel menu.
That won't work for quick settings.
There's no PopoverMenuSection that allows invisible grouping, so
adding items dynamically would either need to happen at the end,
or require some tricky cross-component code to impose a particular
order.
And last but not least, quick toggles are very much unsuited for
a potentially large number of items. The whole point is to provide
quick direct access to system features, not to compete with menus
over the number of items they can hold.
That is, we need to get from the current state where each device
appears as a toplevel item, to a state where we have one quick
toggle for each device type plus one for VPN.
The decoupled VPN section still behaves largely as it did as a
subclass, with the notable difference that it no longer uses
a submenu item, so all VPN connections now appear at the toplevel.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Right now the indicator itself tracks all devices and connections,
creates and destroys the corresponding menu items, matches them
to a section and updates the connection/device arrays that are
attached to the section.
Sounds messy?
It is slightly less effective to connect multiple handlers to the
same NMClient, but let's assume that devices and connections aren't
added/removed at 60 frames/s, and we can add some readabilty by
moving the code into different classes that only have to care about
the bits that are relevant to them.
The VPN section is a good starting point, because its handling is
already quite different from device sections.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
At its core, it's the sort order tracking from NMConnectionItem
with a bit of sugar on top to provide access to the ordered items
and the ability to provide a custom sort function.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
You could argue that the item name is closer to what is displayed
to the user, but it doesn't really matter: Connection items will
always use the connection ID when there is more than one, which
is the only case where sorting matters.
However sorting by items will allow us to generalize the code, and
use it for items that do not represent a connection.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
When not in radio-mode - that is, when the connection is the only
connection for its device - we want the item to represent the
device as a whole.
Achieve this with a small ConnectionItem subclass that adds a
:device-name property for that purpose.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
When not in radio-mode - that is, in the single-connection
case - the item currently uses a plain 'Connect' label.
That is OK while the item is inside a submenu that describes
the device, but we will soon stop using a submenu when a single
item can describe the device as a whole.
Prepare for that by adding an icon that is shown when in non-radio
mode, and include the device name in the label in that case.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Newer versions of IBus (> 1.5.26) have the IBUS_CAP_OSK capability
which can be used to hint the active IM about an OSK driving input as
opposed to a physical keyboard. This may be used by IMs to tweak their
behavior to suit OSKs better.
Add the GNOME Shell side handling for this capability, and toggle it
on whenever the OSK is visible.
Since this is a far too new enum value and we don't want such new
IBus dependency, this change plays fast and loose with JS guarantees,
since a logical OR with an undefined value results in the other operand
unmodified it will work for older versions where the capability does not
exist and thus we want nothing extra enabled.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2415>
We are calling _loginScreenSessionActivated() even in cases where this is
not required. For example, there are cases where the Active property is
already `true` and properties like `IdleHint`, `IdleSinceHint` and
`IdleSinceHintMonotonic` change. In this cases _loginScreenSessionActivated()
is called and will reset the authPrompt when not necessary.

We do want to update the best AP on strength change, in case we
can switch to a better one.
But even if we can't and the AP is unchanged, the icon should
be updated to reflect the change.

Right now DeviceCategory is a small section wrapper that shows
a summary instead of its content if it contains too many items.
It will eventually eventually turn into the base class for
network device quick toggles. Who would have thought that
when it was added for the "there's a computer with 32 ethernet
cards" fringe case?!
For now, give it a more appropriate name and use device types
instead of our made-up categories, now that the two map neatly.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
It's odd to swap out a switch with a status label, and the
information isn't that helpful to begin with: It's either
transient (connecting, deactivating, ...), or too little to
be meaningful (unknown, failed, ...).
We're also perfectly happy to not show it in "label mode"
(i.e. when there's just one VPN).
Just get rid of it.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
Stop providing detailed state descriptions, instead use a name
that best represents the device at the moment (like a wifi SSID,
the carrier name, or the device name as determined by network manager).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
The _devices property is another case of overloading the
"device" term.
Fun fact:
this._devices[device._delegate.category].devices
uses three different meanings of "device" (section, NM.Device, item).
The devices array in sections won't be around for much longer,
but the property that tracks the sections is worth renaming.
While at it, use a map instead of a plain object, which has a
guaranteed order when iterating (which will come in handy later).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
Different access points can belong to the same wireless network. As
NetworkManager doesn't handle this for us, we need to track networks
ourselves, and we currently do this using ad-hoc object literals and
monkey-patching.
Clean this up by factoring out a proper WirelessNetwork class, and
associate them to items with a map.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
Interpreting the different flags is better left to the domain
experts at NetworkManager. It is also much more likely that
NM's own functions will handle newly added flags than our own

There is a straight mapping between running/enabled and visibility,
so bind them instead of using a signal handler.
_syncConnectivity() is called both from _syncMainConnection() and
on connectivity changes, which should cover any running/enabled
changes.
That just leaves updating the icon on state changes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
We would want the signals to be disconnected if we ever happened to
destroy the indicator. Even if we don't, connectObject() is simply
nicer when connecting half a dozen handlers at once.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
There is only one case where we show a notification: When activating
a connection failed.
There is therefore no reason for a generic wrapper around the
notification API. Likewise, tracking the source is a bit pointless,
given that the notification is transient. In fact, as we destroy
an existing notification *before* checking for the source, any
previous source will be gone by that point.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
The function is a handler for the `notify::state` handler, so
the state and reason parameters used in the checks are always
undefined.
In addition, `DEACTIVATED` is not (just) a failure state. We
clearly don't want to complain about a failed connection when
the change happened on request of the user.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
We never used it, so after more than ten years, it seems safe to
assume that we never will.
Plus different items pass different types, which makes it pretty
much impossible to use, even if we wanted to (which apparently
we don't 🤷️)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
When deciding on whether to show the 'no-route' icon, we check
for the client's connectivity *and* whether the devices's active
connection is used as primary connection.
This is currently masked by the indicator updating the icon on
connection changes anyway, but items should still notify the
change themselves.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
The wireless device item tracks the active access point in order
to update its icon on signal strength changes.
However we currently don't synchronize the initial state, so we
miss strength changes until the first access-point change.

Otherwise any unrelated errors in that function are hidden,
because exceptions in async functions are turned into promise
rejections (and JS cannot know that we won't handle it at a later

I wasn't genuiously going to touch those lines, but I ran into
a limitation of the run-eslint script:
It currently bases changed lines on a diff between HEAD and main

The two can vary quite a bit when shuffling code around, and those
are the lines the tool kept complaining about.
I'll look into improving the script, but for now it's quicker to
just shut it up by fixing up the complaints.

There isn't always a serviceName when we set a message. Furthermore we

Now that the old system menu has been ported over, we can move
the power toggle to its intended place. The main difference to
the stand-alone toggle is that the button now uses its natural
size rather than the fixed size of regular quick items.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2393>
This port is a bit messier than the previous ones, because the
existing menu section translates less directly to the new UI,
which uses a row of individual toggles for settings, lock and
shutdown.
In order to not complicate the grid layout further by supporting
rows with a different number of columns than the overall grid and
children at their natural size, create a custom, non-reactive
SystemItem item that spans an entire row, and contains the individual
toggles.
This works quite well, even with the shutdown item that uses a menu
for the various actions.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2393>
With menu support in place, this is now a straight-forward port:
Just add the existing profiles section to a QuickToggleMenu instead
of a submenu item.
The toggle itself now switches between 'balanced' and the last used
non-default profile.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2393>
Now that the QuickSettingsMenu supports child menus, it is time
to add menu support to quick toggles.
Do that by introducing a QuickSettingsItem parent class with a
construct-only :has-menu property, as that will allow including
menus in items that aren't following the standard icon+label
pattern of QuickToggle (yes, we'll have some of those).
A common parent class also allows us to control the type of
menu that is created. That's important, as we need another
custom menu type to
- constrain the menu's y position to place it underneath
the source actor
- use open/close animations taylored for this use case
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2393>
This is where it gets hairy.
Some quick settings items will have an associated menu. When
opened, the main menu should grow to make room for the child
menu, as it would do if it contained the child.
At the same time, the child menu will attach to its parent, and
block all input there while it is open.
Menu-modal menus so to speak.
Implement this as follows:
- change the QuickSettingsMenu actor to a stack that holds
- the boxpointer (a.k.a. the actual menu)
- an overlay actor to hold child menus
- use constraints to bind the overlay's position and width
to the boxpointer; the y position is offset to align the
overlay with the grid inside the actual menu
- add a placeholder actor to the main grid, whose height is
bound to the overlay height; using a "clone" instead of
the actual overlay means that layout changes are not triggered
from outside the grid hierarchy, which would be prone to
allocation warnings
- update the layout manager to not allocate the placeholder as
a regular grid child, but instead include its height in the
space underneath the row with an open menu
- apply a dim effect to the boxpointer when a child menu is
open, to indicate that input is blocked

WorkspaceBackground's allocate is a hot function called every frame
during overview animations. Port it to C.
While we're at it, cache the work area and the monitor geometry, which
do not need to be re-fetched on every allocation.
This reduces the average WorkspaceBackground allocation time from
0.134 ms to 0.017 ms. With four workspaces, scrolling the overview sees
an average WorkspacesView allocation time improvement from
1.104 ms to 0.678 ms.

The aggregate menu with its submenus isn't well-suited for simple
on-off actions, so we didn't expose the global color-scheme support
that was introduced last cycle.
Quick settings on the other hand are a natural fit for actions like
this, so add a corresponding toggle.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2392>
The power indicator should not be a regular quick toggle, but
instead be part of a "system area" row at the top of the menu.
But as in the end it is still a simple button, we can do the
port to quick settings now, and move it later when the system
row is implemented.

For now, this is another simple toggle. The icon, state and
visibility reflect what the old menu did, and the top bar

Another simple toggle. Unlike the old menu, it is always shown

Like the aggregate menu currently, the quick settings menu will
eventually contain some items that should dismiss the menu. And
as those items may appear in child menus or otherwise be nested,
a public method on a global object is more convenient than handing
the main menu down the hierarchy.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2392>
The new indicator will eventually expose all the system status
items that are currently provided by the aggregate menu, but in
a more accessible form than the current submenu-heavy menu.
Right now this just adds the new empty indicator to the top bar,
alongside the existing aggregate menu.
We can then move items over one-by-one.

The quick settings menu is a popover that arranges items in a
reflowing, homogeneous grid. Grid children may span multiple
columns, but not rows.
For now the QuickSettingsMenu that contains the grid is just a
convenience wrapper around the layout manager that does the heavy
lifting. The two will become more intertwined when we add support
for menu toggles though, so the custom menu type is unfortunately
needed.

Multiple booleans - both in arguments and return values - are almost

After porting the more complex cases - in particular those that
affect a module's API - we are left with straight-forward D-Bus
method calls that can be moved to promise-based wrappers in one
go.
For consistency, this also switches from Remote to Async where
the call result is ignored.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2344>
The LoginManager abstraction is still mostly callback-based, not
least because the methods are thin wrappers around logind D-Bus
calls.
However as gjs' dbus wrapper now generates promised-based wrappers
as well, we can implement a proper async API just as naturally.

Thanks to recent gjs changes - namely the ability to promisify

Our search provider API has to be asynchronous to support remote
providers. It doesn't have to be based on callbacks though, now

Provider loading has been synchronous since 2013, so we can

itself async.
