Make sure it is only the special modifier (hardcoded to 1 currently)
which is being pressed (not counting locked modifiers) before notifying
that the special modifier is pressed, as we are interested in it being
pressed alone and not in combination with other modifier keys.
This helps in two ways:
- Pressing alt, then ctrl, then releasing both won't trigger the locate
pointer action.
- Pressing alt, then ctrl, then down/up to switch workspace won't interpret
the last up/down keypress as an additional key on top of the special ctrl
modifier, thus won't be forwarded down to the focused client in the last
second.

If you first press a key that triggers the "special modifier key" paths
(ctrl, super), and then press another key that doesn't match (yet?) any
keybindings (eg. ctrl+alt, super+x), the second key press goes twice
through process_event(), once in the processing of this so far special
combination and another while we let the event through.
In order to keep things consistent, handle it differently depending on
whether we are a wayland compositor or not. For X11, consider the event
handled after the call to process_event() in process_special_modifier_key().
For Wayland, as XIAllowEvents is not the mechanism that allows clients see
the key event, we can just fall through the regular paths, without this
special handling.

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for
gravity, with the exception that `ForgetGravity` was renamed
`META_GRAVITY_NONE` to have less of a obscure name.
The motivation for this is to rely less on libX11 data types and macros
in generic code.

With the addition of the locate-pointer special keybinding (defaults to
the [Control] key), we have now two separate special modifier keys which
can be triggered separately, one for the locate-pointer action and
another one for overlay.
When processing those special modifier keys, mutter must ensure that the
key was pressed alone, being a modifier, the key could otherwise be part
of another key combo.
As result, if both special modifiers keys are pressed simultaneously,
mutter will try to trigger the function for the second key being
pressed, and since those special modifier keys have no default handler
function set, that will crash mutter.
Check if the handler has a function associated and treat the keybinding
as not found if no handler function is set, as with the special modifier
keys.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/823
The `process_event()` would check for a existing keybinding handler and
abort if there is none, however the test is done after the handler had
been accessed, hence defeating the purpose of the check.
Move the check to verify there is an existing keybinding handler before
actually using it.

After the introduction of locate-pointer (commit 851b7d063 -
“keybindings: Trigger locate-pointer on key modifier”), inhibiting
shortcuts would no longer forward the overlay key to the client.
Restore the code that was inadvertently removed so that inhibiting
shortcuts works on the overlay key again.

We don't strictly need it for wayland compositors, yet there are
paths where we try to trigger those passive grabs there. Just
skip those on the high level code (where "is it x11" decisions
are taken) like we do with passive button grabs.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/709
On X11, mutter needs to keep a grab on the locate-pointer key to be able
to trigger the functionality time the corresponding key combo is
pressed.
However, doing so may have side effects on other X11 clients that would
want to have a grab on the same key.
Make sure we only actually grab the key combo for "locate-pointer" only
when the feature is actually enabled, so that having the locate pointer
feature turned off (the default) would not cause side effects on other
X11 clients that might want to use the same key for their own use.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/647
Some special modifiers (typically "Control_L" used for locate-pointer in
mutter/gnome-shell or "Super_L" for overlay) must be handled separately
from the rest of the key bindings.
Add a new flag `META_KEY_BINDING_NO_AUTO_GRAB` so we can tell when
dealing with that special keybinding which should not be grabbed
automatically like the rest of the keybindings, and skip those when
changing the grabs of all keybindings.

We use the combination of pressing Super and clicking+moving the mouse
to drag windows around and we also support pressing Super and using the
touchscreen to drag windows.
Since we don't want to show the overview when the Super key was used to
initiate a window drag, prevent showing the overview in case a
TOUCH_BEGIN or TOUCH_END event happened during the key was pressed.

The external grab handler is shared across all external bindings and external
bindings have now different binding flags. For this reason, when rebuilding the
binding table there could be loss of information if we assign the bindings flags
of the external handler to all external bindings. Let's store the bindings flags
in MetaKeyGrab too and use this when rebuilding the binding table to avoid the
above issue.

The reason why multiple keycodes could be mapped to a single keysym was
to support having both KEY_FAVORITES and KEY_BOOKMARK map to
XF86Favorites. However, iterating through all layout levels adding all
key codes has severe consequences on layouts with levels that map
things like numbers and arrow. The result is that keybindings that
should only have been added for keycodes from the first level, are
replaced by some unexpected keycode where the same keysym was found on
another level.
An example of this is the up-arrow key and l symbol. Normally you'd find
both the up-arrow symbol and the l symbol on the first level and be done
with it. However, on the German Neo-2 layout, layout level 4 maps the
KEY_E to the l symbol, while layout level 4 maps KEY_E to up-arrow.
Which ever gets to take priority is arbitrary, but for this particular
case KEY_E incorrectly mapped to up-arrow instead of the l symbol,
causing the keyboard shortcut Super+l, which would normally lock the
screen, to trigger the workspace-up (Super+up-arrow) key binding.

Currently tiled windows are not resizable and their size is fixed
to half the screen width. Adjust the code to work with fractions
other than half, and allow users to adjust the split by dragging
the window edge that is not constrained by a monitor edge.
Follow-up patches will improve on that by resizing neighboring
tiled windows by a shared edge, and making the functionality
available to client-side decorated windows implementing the
new edge constraints protocol.
Now that the preview tile mode has been split from the window's
tile_mode property, it is much more natural to pass the requested
tile_mode to the tile() function instead of setting it externally
and calling the function to apply the state.
The existing semantics of the tile_mode property are terribly confusing,
as it depends on some other property whether it represents the requested
or current mode. Clear this up by just using separate variables for the
two. As it is unlikely that we will ever support more than one tile
preview, we can track the requested mode globally instead of adding
another per-window variable.

If a non-latin based keyboard layout is active, for example Cyrillic,
keybindings won't work unless we resolve the bound keysyms on a
secondary latin based layout. So, to make keybindings work on non-latin
based layouts, detect if a keymap doesn't have all of the basic latin
letters (a-z) and resolve from an additional US layout as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787016
Add the infrastructure to resolve keybinding symbols from multiple
layouts. It is still unused, but will be, when the primary layout does

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787016
When resolving what keycodes a key binding resolves to, only look up
key codes from the current layout group. Without this, unwanted
overlaps may occur. For example when a keymap has both a dvorak and a
qwerty layout on different layout groups, one keybinding may be bound
on multiple keys, arbitrarily "shadowing" another.

Add a mechanism to MetaWaylandSurface that inhibits compositor's own

Moved from g-s-d's media keys plugin, where it was called "video-out",
since it requires changing the current monitor configuration and we
want to remove the old DBus API.
This implementation is intentionally simple and not really meant for
more than debugging and validating the various configurations. A
better user experience will be introduced in gnome-shell with a custom
keybinding handler.

A single keysym can resolve to multiple keycodes. Instead of only using
the first one and ignoring the others, we store all codes in
MetaResolvedKeyCombo and then handle all of them in keybinding
resolution. If we already have bound a keycode for a keybinding with a
specific keysym then this can get overwritten by a new keybinding with a
different keysym that resolves to the same keycode. Now that we resolve
and bind all keycodes for a keysym this might happen more often; in that
case warn but still overwrite, but only for the first keycode for each
keysym. If a secondary (i.e. all non-first keycodes) is already indexed
we just ignore that; this should resemble the old behavior where we
only took the first keycode for any keysym as close as possible.

Function "handle_raise_or_lower (src/core/keybindings.c)" is called
when running 'raise-or-lower' on a window. This function iterates

includes windows in another workspaces and also windows that are
minimized.

meta_parse_accelerator() considers 0 length accelerator strings as
valid, meaning that the keybinding should be disabled. Unfortunately,
it doesn't initialize the MetaKeyCombo so if the caller doesn't

The new tiling code, instead of based around "tiling states", is instead
based around constrained edges. This allows us to have windows that have
three constrained edges, but keep one free-floating, e.g. a window tiled
to the left has the left, top, and bottom edges constrained, but the
right edge can be left resizable.
This system also is easily extended to support corner tiling. We also,
using the new "size state" system, also keep normal, tiled, and
maximized sizes independently, allowing the maximize button to bounce
between maximized and tiled states without reverting to normal in
between. Dragging from the top will always restore the normal state,
though.

The main monitor of a window is maintained as 'window->monitor' and is

MetaKeyCombo is about the *unresolved* keybinding, which can either be a
"keysym" (<Ctrl>F) or a "keycode" (<Ctrl>0x21). When we resolved the
keysym to a keycode, we stuffed it back in the same MetaKeyCombo, which
confused about what the "keycode" field was for. Thus, we often stomped
on the user's explicit choice if they chose a keycode binding value.
To solve this, create a separate structure, the "devirtualized key combo"
or MetaKeyDevirtCombo, which contains a resolved keycode from the
keysym, and a devirtualized modifier mask. The MetaKeyCombo is now
always a "source" value, and the MetaKeyDevirtCombo is now always what
the user chose.
This also lets us significantly clean up the overlay and ISO key binding
paths.
The reason MetaKeyCombo has a keycode value at all is *not* to store the
devirtualized keycode from the keysym, but instead to allow people that
type in "0x55" into the preference. Everything except the overlay-key
respected this. Make the overlay-key binding respect this.
Since we now directly expose the reverses bindings directly, we
don't have to have this special-case in do_choose_window.
More importantly, if the backwards binding is pressed and has the Shift
key included, this will actually revert it
This doesn't matter for Alt-Tab in gnome-shell, which already replaces
it with a better Alt-Tab replacement, but it does matter for Alt-Esc,
which switches between windows directly.
Commit 1af0033368 made a subtle change
regarding how XKeysymToKeycode behaves. It does a depth first search
while XKeysymToKeycode is documented to do a breadth first search:
"this function looks in each column of the core keyboard mapping in
turn and returns the lowest numbered key that matches in the lowest
numbered group" - from the XKB library documentation
Looping over all keycodes for each layout and level index makes us go
back to the previous behavior.

Commit 2f229c3928 removed the code to compute the above-tab
keycode and replaced it with a simple constant from linux/input.h.
We obviously cannot depend on linux headers on non-linux systems,
so provide a fallback definition in that case (which is expected
to work assuming the system is using the Xorg xf86-input-keyboard
driver).

Clutter events include the layout index codified into modifier_state,
unlike XI2 device events, which means that we need to mask it out so
that we can match successfully.
This removes our Xwayland dependency in the native path. The direct
grabs are still there for the X11 backend and are a bit disgusting,
but that's OK. We can refactor it out later.
This introduces some pretty lousy hackery because it depends on
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/10 , and I really
don't want to wait on that to squash this dep.
Now that the internal mutter bindings and gnome-shell stopped using
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES, and after moving the 'adding shift reverses
the keybinding action' logic to gnome-control-center, we can remove
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES from mutter.
Plugin API is broken as this constant is removed from the exported
headers. ABI is broken as using this flag is now a noop.

Currently the bindings for {switch,cycle}.* actions are created with the
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES flag so that <shift>+binding triggers the
reverse action. However, gnome-control-center does not know about this
kind of implicit bindings, and, for example, cannot warn when the user
tries to setup a conflicting <shift>+xxx binding.
These backward <shift> bindings are being explicitly set in
gsettings-desktop-schemas, so the META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES annotation
can be removed for them from mutter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732385
MetaKeyBinding can be marked as being reversed
(META_KEY_BINDING_IS_REVERSED), but MetaKeyHandlerFunc callbacks

MetaGrabOp is painful and tedious to work with, because it's a
sequential series of values, meaning we have to use a giant unreadable
switch statement to figure out some basic things about the value.
To solve this, modify the encoding for MetaGrabOp and for the specific
window grab operations so that they're a set of bitflags that we can
easily check.
