We currently calling gdk_display_map_keyval up to
once per key event per shortcut trigger, and that function
does an expensive loop over the entire keymap and
allocates an array. Avoid this by caching the entries
in a single array, and have a lookup table for finding
the entries for a keyval.
To do this, change the GdkKeymap.get_entries_for_keyval
signature, and change the ::keys-changed signal to be
RUN_FIRST, since we want to clear the cache in the class
handler before running signal handlers. These changes are
possible now, since keymaps are no longer public API.
GdkKeymap already has support for _get_num_lock_state() and
_get_caps_lock_state(). Adding _get_scroll_lock_state() would be good
for completness and some backends (Windows?) could take advantage of
this.
In 2.x, the !HAVE_XCONVERTCASE fallback of keyval_convert_case() was
implicitly used as implementation for all !X11 backends.
In 3.x, when this function was virtualized in GdkDisplayManager,
this fallback was moved to the X11 backend and the other backends
"equipped" with /* FIXME implement */ implementations of
keyval_convert_case() which don't convert anything.
Move the fallback code back to gdk/ as default implementation
of GdkDisplayManager::keyval_convert_case() and remove its
implementations is all backends but X11. Also remove the
implementation in Wayland which was a plain copy of what
is now the default implementation.
(cherry picked from commit f46c1b76d8)
Add enum GdkModifierIntent which identifies use cases for modifier masks
and GdkKeyMap::get_modifier_mask(). Add a default implementation which returns
what is currently hardcoded all over GTK+, and an implementation in the
quartz backend. Also add gtk_widget_get_modifier_mask() which simplifies
things by doing widget->display->keymap->get_modifier_mask().
