Starting with Linux Kernel v5.0 two new axes are available for
mice that support high-resolution wheel scrolling: REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and
REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES.
Both axes send data in fractions of 120 where each multiple of 120
amounts to one logical scroll event. Fractions of 120 indicate a wheel
movement less than one detent.
The 120 magic number is a copy of the Windows API, so this new
constructor can be used both in Linux >= 5.0 and Windows >= Vista.
Following what was done for pinch/swipe events, give hold gestures their
own distinct sequence as well. Without this it was NULL, which was already
distinct to other touchpad gestures.
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().
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.
This removes the GDK_CONFIGURE event and all related functions and data
types; it includes untested changes to the MacOSX, Win32 and Broadway
backends.
Make GdkEvents hold a single GdkDevice. This device is closer to
the logical device conceptually, although it must be sufficient for
device checks (i.e. GdkInputSource), which makes it similar to the
physical devices.
Make the logical devices have a more accurate GdkInputSource where
needed, and conflate the event devices altogether.
Scroll events do not have a position, so they shouldn't implement the
GdkEventClass.get_position() virtual function; nor they should have an x
and y fields that never get updated.
GdkEvent has been a "I-can't-believe-this-is-not-OOP" type for ages,
using a union of sub-types. This has always been problematic when it
comes to implementing accessor functions: either you get generic API
that takes a GdkEvent and uses a massive switch() to determine which
event types have the data you're looking for; or you create namespaced
accessors, but break language bindings horribly, as boxed types cannot
have derived types.
The recent conversion of GskRenderNode (which had similar issues) to
GTypeInstance, and the fact that GdkEvent is now a completely opaque
type, provide us with the chance of moving GdkEvent to GTypeInstance,
and have sub-types for GdkEvent.
The change from boxed type to GTypeInstance is pretty small, all things
considered, but ends up cascading to a larger commit, as we still have
backends and code in GTK trying to access GdkEvent structures directly.
Additionally, the naming of the public getter functions requires
renaming all the data structures to conform to the namespace/type-name
pattern.
Add all of the keyboard translation results in the key event,
so we can translate the keyboard state at the time the event
is created, and avoid doing state translation at match time.
We actually need to carry two sets of translation results,
since we ignore CapsLock when matching accelerators, in
gdk_event_matches().
At the same time, drop the scancode field - it is only ever
set on win32, and is basically unused in GTK.
Update all callers.
Rearrange a few things, and move some booleans
into the Any struct, by using a bitfield there.
Some more cleanup could be done - the flags field
with its PENDING and FLUSHED members appears
entirely unused. Nobody is setting those flags.
Restructure the getters for event fields to
be more targeted at particular event types.
Update all callers, and replace all direct
event struct access with getters.
As a side-effect, this drops some unused getters.
Add private API to construct events. This is a step towards
making events readonly, and not objects anymore.
The constructors here are sufficient to convert the Wayland
backend over. More may be added for other backends as needed.
Open issues:
- history
Don't store coordinates as shorts. Use doubles,
as everywhere else. Also add x, y in addition
to x_root, y_root, and actually return those
in gdk_event_get_coords.
Setting it as qdata on the object doesn't save any memory since we use
the user_data as the event target, which every event has set these days.
This way is also faster since just reffing the object doesn't do any
locking.
Rename gdkdnd.h to gdkdrag.h, to go along with gdkdrop.h
This commit includes the necessary updates to the X11, Wayland
and Broadway backends. Other backends have to be updated separately.
This renames the GdkWindow class and related classes (impl, backend
subclasses) to surface. Additionally it renames related types:
GdkWindowAttr, GdkWindowPaint, GdkWindowWindowClass, GdkWindowType,
GdkWindowTypeHint, GdkWindowHints, GdkWindowState, GdkWindowEdge
