Once mutter is started from weston-launch on its own VT, there is
no way to change VT again (for example to actually start an application),
because the keyboard is put in raw mode.
So introduce some keybindings mimicking the standard X ones (Ctrl+Alt+Fn)
that switch the VT manually when activated.

We have no need for normally reported events during grabs. In fact, it
might be harmful. A plugin might grab the keyboard through
meta_begin_modal_for_plugin() and then expect events to be reported to
the grab window they provide. If meanwhile this XIGrabDevice is
issued, events might start being reported normally to one other of our
windows breaking the plugin event processing.
In particular, on an empty workspace, we set input focus to our
no_focus_window. Then, if gnome-shell calls
meta_begin_modal_for_plugin() and meta_display_freeze_keyboard(), in
that order, input events will start being reported to no_focus_window.
There are two issues with this. One is that no_focus_window isn't
selecting for XI input events and thus the server discards them
completely. But even if that is fixed, events being reported to any
window other than the one gnome-shell expects - the clutter stage
window - means that events will stop reaching it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701219
This will make it possible to implement input source switching in
gnome-shell using the popular modifiers-only keybinding that's
implemented on the X server through an XKB option.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697002
We'll use this in gnome-shell to freeze the keyboard right before
switching input source and unfreeze it after that's finished so that
we don't lose any key events to the wrong input source.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697001
XUngrabKey() doesn't work for XI2 grabs and XI2 doesn't provide API
with similar functionality. As such, we have to refactor the code a
bit to be able to call XIUngrabKeycode() for each key binding, then
reload keybindings and finally grab the new ones.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697003
mutter currently only filters the overlay key through the shell
when there is a grab operation and that grab operation belongs to the
shell (because the shell is pushModal'd). This means the shell can't
filter out overlay key press events events at startup (since the shell
isn't normally modal).
This commit changes the code to always run the shell filtering code,
even when the shell is not modal.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694837
During compositor grabs, all global keybindings that don't go
through mutter's keybinding system are blocked. To allow other
processes to make use of it, gnome-shell will expose a simple
grab API on DBus; for this, add API to grab key combos directly
instead of parsing accelerators stored in GSettings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643111
Mechanically transform the event processing of mutter to care
about XI2 events instead of Core Events. Core Events will be left
in the dust soon, and removed entirely.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688779
Add an additional "switcher" keybinding for switching between
applications rather than windows (like the existing 'switch-windows'
and 'switch-group' bindings).
The purpose of the new keybinding is to be taken over by gnome-shell's
application-based alt-tab popup, so rather than actually implementing
an application switcher in mutter, let it duplicate the normal window
switcher when run standalone.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688913
As the overlay key works differently from normal keybindings, it
requires special treatment. However, by adding a rudimentary
MetaKeyBinding for it, we will be able to confine the special
handling to mutter and treat it like any other keybinding in
the shell.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
Currently keybindings are blocked while the compositor holds a grab; if
we want a keybinding to be available anyway, we use captured ClutterEvents
to determine the KeyBindingAction the event would have triggered and
run our own handlers (ugh).
Instead, provide a hook to allow the compositor to filter out keybindings
before processing them normally, regardless of whether the compositor
holds a grab or not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688202
If we want to support keybindings from extensions installed in the user's
directory, we can't take a schema, as the GSettings object needs to have
a special GSettingsSchemaSource.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673014
This is a new value, not associated with any keybindings, useful
when the WM needs to order the applications by last-interaction,
taking into account all windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667552
The move-to-corner keybindings weren't treated as user actions, which
resulted in them not affecting the saved position - they weren't
always being treated as sticky. Marking them as a user action revealed
bugs in the positioning logic that were hidden by the constraint
code applied to automated moves. Fix those as well. Bug tracked
down by Mariusz Libera.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661256
Rather than defining keybindings in static arrays generated at compile
time, store them in a hash table initialized in meta_display_init_keys()
and filled in init_builtin_keybindings().
This is a prerequisite for allowing to add/remove keybindings at runtime.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663428
Move preferences to GSettings, using mainly shared schemas from
gsettings-desktop-schemas.
Unlike GConf, GSettings support is not optional, as Gio is already
a hard dependency of GTK+.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635378
meta_window_get_current_tile_area() computes the area where the tiled window
should be based on the current pointer position but that's only meaningful
when the user is actually dragging the window.
When running the tiling constrain the pointer might be on other monitor and at
that point the window jumps to this other monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642580
When we get a press of the overlay key, and then another key is pressed,
first try to handle the combination as a global keybinding. If that fails,
call XAllowEvents(..., ReplayKeyboard, ...) to let it be handled by
our per-window keybindings or by the application.
This requires restructuring things to call XAllowEvents a bit later
so we can pass the right mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624869
gtk3 no longer has the --screen command-line argument, which mutter
was passing to zenity. Use --display (with an explicitly-specified
screen number) instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643683
Sometimes on_all_workspaces is requested by the client/user, and sometimes
its calculated implicitly due to internal state. We split this up so that
we know when the user has explicitly asked for sticky window, when e.g.
setting wmspec properties or storing session info.
on_all_workspaces means this window is visible on all workspaces.
on_all_workspaces_requested, means the user explicitly made the window
sticky somehow (via imported session, _NET_WM_STATE from another wm,
toggled in the window menu, etc). It always implies on_all_workspaces is
TRUE.
Right now the only time we set on_all_workspaces is for override-redirect
windows, but later we can add a "windows on non-primary monitor are not
part of the workspace switching" feature.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609258
If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed
headers back into core/ or ui/.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643959
As the tile preview is shown or hidden when a window is dragged
around, it may stick around if the drag operation is cancelled.
Make sure that the preview is hidden in this case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639988
We want switching between the windows of an application to be an easily
accessible operation. The convenient and memorable keybinding is the
key above the tab key - but the keysym for that key isn't consistent
across different keyboard layouts.
Add code that figures out the key from the XKB geometry and a magic
keysym name "Above_Tab" that refers to this key and switch
the default binding for cycle_group to <Alt>Above_Tab. (This will
have no effect for the normal case of getting the key binding from
GConf until this patch is applied to Metacity as well.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635569
overlay_key_combo needs the same treatment as other keycodes on a
change - we should always recompute it if we have a keysym not
a keycode, and not only if the keycode hasn't already been
computed.
Simplify the keymap loading logic by unifying the different
branches; in the reorganization this patch fixes a bug where when
we got a MappingKeyboard event we wouldn't update virtual modifiers
correctly.
Based on a patch by Thomas Thurman <tthurman@gnome.org>
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565540
* Select for XKB keyboard notification events explicitly; since GTK+
has selected for XKB events, delivery of old-school MappingNotify
events is disabled.
* Fix a bug where once a keycode was loaded for a key binding,
it would never be reassigned; we want to laod new keycodes for
all bindings that have a key symbol rather than a fixed
keycode.

Now that we create MetaWindow objects for override-redirect windows, we need
to check all key press events to see if they are on GTK+ widgets, not just
events that don't match a MetaWindow. This fixes a problem with alt-Tab stealing
grabs away from the window menu.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633398
While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633133
meta_display_process_key_event() always looks up events based on the
"default" keysym for the keycode, so we should do the same here. This
fixes, eg, the lookup of Shift-Alt-Tab (which would otherwise be
unrecognized because the keysym would be XK_ISO_Left_Tab rather than
XK_Tab).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632155
Cleanly build with --warn-fatal. Implementation:
* Liberally apply (skip) where the API is clearly C only, e.g. uses
XLib. The theming code and MutterPlugin are skipped too.
* Add missing (transfer) and (element-type) annotations
For a few functions that had a comment, I turned it into gtk-doc, but
I didn't (with a few exceptions) try to write new documentation in
this pass.
If the user just presses a modifier (e.g., shift) during Alt+Tab grab, we need
to keep the grab in place to allow the custom Alt+Tab handler to deal with what
might simply be a change of tabbing direction.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613126
The changes to enforce single handling of all key events were breaking
custom-alt-tab keypress handlers, since that code was assuming that
key event would get to process_tab_grab(), and then maybe to
process_event() and then to the plugin's xevent_filter to detect a
key release.
We centeralize all of this handling into process_tab_grab() and either
- Invoke a custom handler for the key press
- Select the current window on modifier release by calling a new
pseudo-binding "tab_popup_select"
- Cancel the grab on an unbound key by calling a new pseudo-binding
"tab_popup_cancel"
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590754
Only process each key event once. If all keys are grabbed, then
don't also look for handlers for a key shortcut after processing
the grab op. If all keys are grabbed or we find a key shortcut,
don't pass the event on to the compositing mananger.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590754
Don't include override-redirect windows in the list return by
meta_display_list_windows(), since we almost never want to handle
them when considering "all window" for the display. Add a separate
meta_display_list_all_windows() that includes override-redirect
windows.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582639
Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
Also, use MetaWindows as the tab_popup keys rather than using (X) Windows
and then having to map back and forth everywhere, which is silly since
we never actually want the X Window.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580917
Rather than trying to reverse-engineer what kind of tab/workspace
popup to create from within meta_display_begin_grab_op(), just create
the popup directly from do_choose_window()/handle_workspace_switch()
after completing the grab, since they already know which kind they
want.
Also add meta_screen_destroy_tab_popup()/_destroy_workspace_popup()
rather than having meta_display_end_grab_op() poke into MetaScreen's
internals itself.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580917
This patch adds the concept of a special key for WM operations, and
the default is Super_L, which on extended PC hardware is the
"Windows key". What we do is handle the special case of a press
and release of this key (without any other intervening keys).
Super_L+<key> should still be passed to applications. In the future
we may want to also take some of these keybindings (e.g. Super+TAB)
though.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563047
Add a keybinding (defaulting to <Control><Shift><Alt>r) to record
a screencast of the session. This isn't hooked up to anything in
metacity itself, but a plugin can connect to a signal on MetaScreen.
keybindings.c all-keybindings.h: Add the keybinding
screen.c: Add a ::toggle-recording signal
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575290
When there is custom handler installed for the tab releavant tab function
we do not want to actually call it form inside of this function, only to
ensure that the grab is not released. The handler will get called in the
normal way in process_event(). Whoever installed the handler (and requested
the grab) also has to ensure the grab is released.
The metacity core is now directly aware of override redirect windows.
- They get MetaWindows like normal windows, so mutter no longer need to special
case them. The net wm types applicable to override redirects are also
recognised.
- The original positioning/stacking semantics of metacity with respect to OR
windows are maintained, but now it's easier to synchronize the stacking
between the core and mutter.
- mutter no longer needs to manualy track UnmapNotify, MapNotify,
ReparentNotify, CreateNotify and DestroyNotify events; instead map, unmap,
add and remove events can now be consistently delivered via the
MetaCompositor callbacks.

Merged screen and window keybinding tables so that
we can use just one file for the both. Also incidentally
closes#528337. Further efficiencies of scale to come.
* src/include/prefs.h: replace META_PREF_*_KEYBINDINGS
with META_PREF_KEYBINDINGS
* src/core/keybindings.c: replace *_bindings with key_bindings
and similar throughout; all window-based functions are now
guaranteed to receive a window so don't need to check for
themselves
(find_handler): moved so it can also be called from
rebuild_binding_table
* src/core/display-private.h: replace *_bindings with key_bindings
* src/core/prefs.c: update_*_binding becomes update_key_binding;
(change_notify): tidy up references to "enormous if statement"
since it's almost entirely gone now

Slight transformation of the x-macros used in keybindings
to make them clearer: write handler names out in full

During a discussion with Rodney Dawes about making life easier
for the translators, he pointed out that the short and long
forms of almost all the keybindings say much the same thing
in different words. I believe this is an unconscionable burden
to place on translators, and have therefore merged the short
and long descriptions into the short description. The long
is now a general explanation of the format, plus possibly a
notice about reversibility. Closes#469361, and should solve
the l10n issue previously mentioned.
* src/core/keybindings.c: reflect changes in *-bindings.h
* src/core/schema-bindings.c: reflect changes in *-bindings.h
* src/core/prefs.c: reflect changes in *-bindings.h
* src/core/window-bindings.h: Add flags field, always the same
currently, so that it's the same as screen-bindings.h.
Also, lose ONLY_BOUND_BY_DEFAULT, since we already had a
rather more elegant way to perform the same effect.
And merge the long and short descriptions.
* src/core/screen-bindings.h (, item): Merge the long and
short descriptions.

Second half of the switch to using x-macros for keybindings so that
we don't have lots of places with the same information which must
stay in the same order. This time it's screen bindings.
* src/core/screen-bindings.h: New file, containing screen bindings.
* src/core/schema-bindings.c: added ability to output screen bindings.
* src/core/window-bindings.h: tiny tweak to comment
* src/core/keybindings.c: generate function prototypes using s-b.h;
several handlers modified to use ints rather than ints cast into
pointers, or renamed.
* src/include/prefs.h: generate names of bindings using s-b.h;
generate screen_handlers using s-b.h;
arguments to bindings are ints and not ints cast to pointers;
several handler functions renamed to consistent names.
* src/core/prefs.c (meta_prefs_set_num_workspaces, init_bindings):
generate screen_handlers using s-b.h;
generate screen_string_bindings using s-b.h (and add check for
null bindings in init_bindings to enable this simply).

An attempt to keep all information about window bindings
in the same place. Screen bindings to come.
* src/core/window-bindings.h: new file, list of all window bindings
* src/include/prefs.h: drop all the existing window-binding macros
* src/core/schema-bindings.c (): output all the schema blocks that
would appear in metacity.schema for these window bindings. This
ought to become part of the build process, and hopefully will soon.
When this works it will also close#469361.
* src/core/keybindings.c: generate handle_* prototypes using
x-macros; populate window_handlers using x-macros; rename several
functions to have consistent names; do_handle_move_to_workspace(),
handle_move_to_workspace_flip(), and handle_move_to_workspace() all
merged into handle_move_to_workspace.
* src/core/prefs.c: generate window_bindings and window_string_bindings
using x-macros; (meta_prefs_set_compositing_manager) fix unrelated
problem with use of GConf functions when GConf was disabled.
* src/core/core.c (meta_core_get_menu_accelerator): binding names
given as literals since this is the only place in the code they
now appear
