The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendNative, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/672
We used to have wayland-specific paths for this in src/wayland, now we
have ClutterKeymap that we can rely on in order to do state tracking,
and can do this all on src/backend domain.
This accomodates the feature in common code, so will work on both
Wayland and X11.

The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
By using the shm file when sending the keymap to all clients, we
effectively allows any client to change the keymap, as any client has
the ability to change the content of the file. Sending a read-only file
descriptor, or making the file itself read-only before unlinking, can
be worked around by the client by using chmod(2) and open(2) on
/proc/<pid>/<fd>.
Using memfd could potentially solve this issue, but as the usage of
mmap with MAP_SHARED is wide spread among clients, such a change can
not be introduced without causing wide spread compatibility issues.
So, to avoid allowing clients to interfere with each other, create a
separate shm file for each wl_keyboard resource when sending the
keymap. We could eventually do this per client, but in most cases,
there will only be one wl_keyboard resource per client anyway.

If a client maps a popup in response to a key-down event, but the
mapping doesn't occur until after the user has already released the same
button, we'd immediately dismiss the popup. This is problematic, as one
often presses and releases a key quite quickly, meaning any popup mapped
on key-down are likely to be dismissed.
Avoid this race condition by accepting serials for key down events, if
the most recent key-up event had the same keycode.

This state tracks hardware devices' state, thus shouldn't be triggered by
events that were emulated/forwarded by the IM. Those may include modifiers
and would result in xkb_state being doubly set, and possibly stuck.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/74Closes: #74
On VT switch, the xkb state layout index is lost and reset to the first
group, so if the first layout is not the last one being used, the xkb
state used in both meta-wayland-keyboard.c and clutter/evdev will be
desynchronized with the keyboard source indicator in the gnome-shell UI.
Save the effective layout chosen along with the seat so it can be
restored when reclaiming devices.
Use the saved layout index from the clutter/evdev's seat to restore the
layout in meta-wayland-keyboard, so that switching VT doesn't reset the
layout and causes further discrepancies with the layout indicator in the
gnome-shell UI.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791383
MetaWaylandKeyboard maintains its own xkb_state used to update Wayland
clients.
Add the necessary hooks to make sure the sticky keys modifier masks set
in clutter-evdev are also applied in MetaWaylandKeyboard's xkb_state so
that Wayland clients also benefit from sticky keys.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788564
The layout group determines what actual keyboard layout in the keymap
to use when translating modifier state and key codes to key syms.
When changing a keymap to another, the layout groups has no relation to
the layout groups in the old keymap, thus there is no reason to
transfer it to the new state.
This fixes an issue where the xkb state in meta-wayland-keyboard.c got
desynchronized with the xkb state in clutter-device-manager-evdev.c.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789300
Make the caller of focus setting and grab starting check whether there
is a keyboard to update the focus state or start grabbing. It makes it
more obvious what to expect, as the call would be a no-op in when no
keyboard is present.

The variable name 'l' usually refers to a GList iterator, but here it's
just a short hand for a specific list. Stop using this shorthand, since
it just makes it harder to read what list is used.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771646
Make the device <-> seat association permanent, and move it into
MetaWaylandInputDevice. A device will never be disassociated with a
seat, so there is no point in unsetting it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771305
Add a new object class, MetaWaylandInputDevice, and make all device
classes (pointer, keyboard, touch) inherit it. In the future common
functionality may be placed there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771305
If we get a key event but still have pending modifier state changes we
need to send a modifiers event right away so that the key event can be
interpreted by clients correctly modified.
This case could happen when mutter/gnome-shell itself consumes the
modifier key press event such as with the overview key which by
default is triggered on super press.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748526
The wayland protocol has enough space to send both virtual and real
modifiers on modifiers events which saves clients the work of
resolving virtual modifiers themselves.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748526
This will be useful during DnD, where mutter is expected to consume
keyboard events for either allowing changes in the selected DnD action,
or misc a11y features like keyboard-driven DnD.
Currently, the vtable contains 2 functions, key() will be used on every
key event we get from Clutter, modifiers() will notify of changes in the
keyboard modifiers (mouse buttons will never be set in the modifier mask)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760805
Right now we just check the pointer serial, so the popup will be
immediately dismissed if the client passes a serial corresponding to
another input device.
Abstract this a bit further and add a meta_wayland_seat_can_popup() call
that will check the serial all input devices. This makes it possible to
trigger menus through touch or keyboard devices.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756296
Older GCC only allows "for (int i" in explicit c99 mode - there's probably
no reason that we can't enable that, but avoiding the construct for
a fast fix.
If the user Alt-Tabs out of the window, we will be left thinking
the Alt key is still pressed since we don't see a release for it.
Solve this and other related issues for the nested X11 compositor
by selecting for KeymapStateMask which causes a KeymapNotify event
to be sent after each FocusIn, and when we get these events, update
the internal XKB state and send any necessary modifiers events to
clients.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753948
Otherwise we'll access freed memory in the handlers.
The wayland keyboard is released when the seat loses the keyboard
capability which happens when leaving the VT so if there are keymap
changes while switched away from the VT we would crash.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747263
The key event should be interpreted by clients with the modifier state
as it was before the event itself just as in X11 input events.
Achieving this in wayland is a matter of sending the key event first
and the modifiers after (if needed).
This isn't really specified in the wayland protocol but it matches
weston's behavior and should avoid corner cases in clients.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738238
We never want to send pressed keys to wayland clients on enter. The
protocol says that we should send them, presumably so that clients can
trigger their own key repeat routine in case they are given focus and
a key is physically pressed.
Unfortunately this causes some clients, in particular Xwayland, to
register key events that they really shouldn't handle, e.g. on an
Alt+Tab keybinding, where Alt is released before Tab, clients would
see Tab being pressed on enter followed by a key release event for
Tab, meaning that Tab would be processed by the client when it really
shouldn't.
Since the use case for the pressed keys array on enter seems weak to
us, we'll just fake that there are no pressed keys instead which
should be spec compliant even if it might not be true.

Some applications, like totem, create keyboard/pointer objects from the
same client, and expect it to work. We made this work a while ago, but
due to an oversight in the code, we increment the serial on button press
for every resource that we need to send events to.
Since operations like move/resize use the grab serial of the devices to
determine whether the operation is exact, we need to make sure the same
serial goes to all devices.
Restructure the code so that all that's in the resource loop is the
sending of the event -- all the calculation that's needed happens
outside.
This fixes moving / resizing the Totem window not working sometimes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736840
We only broadcast input to the focus_resource_list, so we need to make
sure it's put in the proper list on startup.
This fixes input not working for windows when they first appear.
Argh. There's always more stuff to fix with keyboard/pointer. Every
single time I think I've fixed it, more stuff pops up.
