Instead of adding events to the application event queue, dispatch
them directly to the right display. We know this when the event is
to be dispatched.
This is the same as used for the `sendEvent` method in `GdkMacosWindow`.
To achieve this I factored out the generic NSEvent to GdkEvent translation.
We can send an event directly, when we receive it in the GdkMacosWindow
directly from the OS.
Add a new GdkScrollUnit enum that represent the
unit of scroll deltas provided by GdkScrollEvent.
The unit is accessible through
gdk_scroll_event_get_unit().
If we are clicking through the shadow of a window, we need to take special
care to not raise the old window on mouseUp. This is normally done by the
display server for us, so we need to use the proper API that is public to
handle this (rather than CGSSetWindowTags()). Doing so requires us to
dispatch the event to the NSView and then cancel the activcation from
the mouseDown: event there.
When the fingers are placed on the touchpad, we get a scroll event with
the phase NSEventPhaseMayBegin. We can use this to synthesize an is_stop
event. This results in the scrolledwindow stopping scroll with stop
gestures.
This can cause another warning as well, however, which should be addressed
from #4730.
Fixes#4733
Previously we had issues on macos where the overshoot would keep showing.
To fix this we need to actually use discrete events instead of the
generated deltas from macOS in the scroll wheel case. Additionally, we need
to drop the kinetic momentum events from macOS and rely on the gtk kinetic
events which are already happening anyway. We also need to submit the
is_stop event for the GDK_SCROLL_SMOOTH case when we detect it.
To keep the discrete scroll events correct, we need to alter the hack in
gtkscrolledwindow.c to use the same path as other platforms except for
when a smooth scroll event is in place. In the future, I would imagine that
this falls into the boundary of high-precision scrolling and would share
the same code paths as other platforms.
With all of these in place, kinetic scrolling with overshoot appears the
same on macOS as other platforms.
We might have panels with controls in them where the window is running in
another process. The control could have a wrapper window which we would
see from this process. This can happen with the GtkFileChooserNative, but
any NSSavePanel in macOS 10.15+ is out of process (not just sandboxed
applications).
When using an external mouse on MacOS, the scrolling behavior is
reversed from the user's scrolling preference. Additionally, it is
noticeably sluggish.
This commit fixes both issues by negating the deltas and multiplying
them by 32 before constructing a new scroll event. 32 seems to be the
"traditional" scaling factor according to [Druid], but I'm not sure
where that value actually comes from. Regardless, scaling the deltas by
this amount makes scrolling feel a lot more responsive in the GTK demos.
Scrolling with a trackpad is not affected by either issue because it
triggers a different code path that uses more precise deltas, and
already negates them.

It makes sense to connect the begin/update/end events
for touchpad swipes and pinches in a sequence. This
commit adds the plumbing for it, but not backends
are setting sequences yet.
On older systems, the availability of some methods seem to be incorrect
based on Apple documentation. This works around the issue by using
the rect conversion on older systems.
This fixes an issue where we would ignore events with Y delta
and no X delta while scrolling due to a typo when checking for
any delta.
This fixes deceleration of kinetic scrolling on the macOS backend.
Fixes#3418
This was incorrectly reporting the toplevel surface instead of the
popup surface that was placed above it. This fixes event delivery
to popups for selecting menu items and more.
This is fairly substantial rewrite of the GDK backend for quartz and
renamed to macOS to allow for a greenfield implementation.
Many things have come across from the quartz implementation fairly
intact such as the eventloop integration design and discovery of
event windows from the NSEvent.
However much has been changed to fit in with the new GDK design and
how removal of child GdkWindow have been completely eliminated.
Furthermore, the new GdkPopup allows for regular NSWindow to be used
to provide popovers unlike the previous implementation.
The object design more closely follows the ideal for a GDK backend.
Views have been broken out into subclasses so that we can support
multiple GSK renderer paths such as GL and Cairo (and Metal in the
future). However mixed mode GL and Cairo will not be supported. Currently
only the Cairo renderer has been implemented.
A new frame clock implementation using CVDisplayLink provides more
accurate information about when to draw drawing the next frame. Some
testing will need to be done here to understand the power implications
of this.
This implementation has also gained edge snapping for CSD windows. Some
work was also done to ensure that CSD windows have opaque regions
registered with the display server.
** This is still very much a work-in-progress **
Some outstanding work that needs to be done:
- Finish a GL context for macOS and alternate NSView for GL rendering
(possibly using speciailized CALayer for OpenGL).
- Input rework to ensure that we don't loose remapping of keys that was
dropped from GDK during GTK 4 development.
- Make sure input methods continue to work.
- Drag-n-Drop is still very much a work in progress
- High resolution input scrolling needs various work in GDK to land
first before we can plumb that to NSEvent.
- gtk/ has a number of things based on GDK_WINDOWING_QUARTZ that need
to be updated to use the macOS backend.
But this is good enough to start playing with and breaking things which
is what I'd like to see.
