In the case a11y is required, the screen reader is very much interested in getting an uniterrupted flow of key events. It attempts so by setting a ::captured-event callback on the ClutterStage, but that falls short with our MetaDisplay event handler, as clutter events can be stopped before a11y gets a chance to see them. This kind of selective amnesia wrt key events is not new, in X11 those go unheard of by the WM as long as a client is focused and no grabs hold, so it is clients' responsibility to talk with AT bridge. This commit doesn't yet change that for X11, but we can do this right away from the compositor on Wayland, and without any chance to be tampered by clients. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1328 |

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib
fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general,
look at the file you're editing for inspiration.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
