... and do the right things:
nothing: selection = rubberband
ctrl: selection = selection OR rubberband
shift: selection = selection AND (NOT rubberband)
ctrl+shift: selection = selection XOR rubberband
(not sure this one makes sense, but toggling is fun)
Instead of storing the active items as we go, compute the affected items
whenever the rubberband changes and in particular when the rubberband
ends.
That way, the rubberband is guaranteed to select a rectangle even
after scrolling very far.
This is achieved by having a get_items_in_rect() vfunc that selects all
the items in the rubberbanded rectangle and returns them as a bitset.
The rubberband is now handled on the list coordinate system.
When starting the rubberband, we track the item under the pointer and
follow it when it is moving.
This may lead to the rubberband start position changing position and
while this may be confusing, it alerts users to the fact that something
crazy is going on.
Break out an update_autoscroll() function that can
be used for other things than rubberbanding. It will
be used for autoscroll during DND in the future.
This is not just about consistency with other functions.
It is about avoiding reentrancy problems.
GtkListBase first doing an unselect_all() will then force the
SelectionModel to consider a state where all items are unselected
(and potentially deciding to autoselect one) and then cause a
"selection-changed" emission that unselects all items and potentially
updates all the list item widgets in the GtkListBase to the unselected
state.
After this, GtkListBase selects new items, but to the SelectionModel and
the list item widgets this looks like an enitrely new operation and
there is no way to associate it with the previous state, so the
SelectionModel cannot undo any previous actions it took when
unselecting.
And all listitem widgets will now think they were just selected and
start running animations about selecting.
When I changed things to only collect the set
in the stop() function, I overlooked that this
has the side-effect of only handling items which
are backed by a widget at the time stop() is called.
If we make a big rubberband and autoscroll down too
far, we loose the items that go out the visible range
at the top. Fix that by maintaining the set as we go.
It feels slightly wrong to have GtkOrientable operate on widgets, but at
least what happens when an orientable widget changes orientation should
be part of GtkWidget.
This will allow to add more state changes without accessing widget state
from the outside of gtkwidget.c.
This is an expected feature with rubberband selection:
as you get close to the edge while doing rubberband
selection, the list scrolls to extend your selection.
Implement the typical rubberband selection, including
autoscroll. This is only useful with multiselection,
and not very compatible with single-click-activate.
Therefore, it is not enabled by default, and needs
to be turned on explicitly.
This splits GtkListItem into 2 parts:
1. GtkListItem
This is purely a GObject with public API for developers who want to
populate lists. There is no chance to cause conflict with GtkWidget
properties that the list implementation assumed control over and
defines a clear boundary.
2. GtkListItemWidget
The widget part of the listitem. This is not only fully in control of
the list machinery, the machinery can also use different widget
implementations for different list widgets like I inted to for
GtkColumnView.
The widget mostly works out of the box, but some tweaking may be
necessary (in particular in the theme) and the gtk-demo changes might
require removing before this is production-ready.
This reverts commit 6a164ab306dad9096bde736c907494c71086d3c4.
The function was awkward and we now have only one caller again, so we
can fold it back into it.
Nothing really changes, because both ListView and GridView still keep
self->item_manager around, but it's set up to point at the base's item
manager.
This way we can slowly move things to GtkListBase that need the item
manager (like trackers).
