To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

Add back a property that determines whether an individual
widget will accept focus or not. :can-focus prevents the
focus from ever entering the entire widget hierarchy
below a widget, and :focusable just determines if grabbing
the focus to the widget itself will succeed.

This was only living in gtkcontainer.c for historic
reasons. Move it closer to where it belongs, and
rename it from 'idle' to 'layout', since it is
really about the layout phase of the frame clock,
nowadays.
We need to unset the propagation limit on the focus
controller, else we miss the focus-in when the focus
enters the popover upon initial popup, when it comes
from the parent button.
When a model button in a popover displays a shortcut,
it is probably from the global shortcut controllers,
and will not work inside the popover, since that is
a different native. Install a shortcut using the same
trigger that just activates the model button. This
shortcut will end up in the managed shortcut controller
of the popover.
The function lives in gtkaccelgroup.c, so there's no need to have that
call a private function in another source file. Instead, make that
other source file call gtk_accelerator_get_label() instead.

It is enough to just set the parent (and make the parent
call gtk_native_check_resize in size_allocate).
This commit removes the relative_to argument to the
constructors of GtkPopover and GtkPopoverMenu, and
updates all callers.
Split the focus tracking into a separate
GtkEventControllerFocus, and change the API one more time.
We are back to having ::focus-in and ::focus-out signals.
Update all users.
Instead of relying on gdk's antiquated crossing events,
create a new GtkCrossingData struct that contains the
actual widgets, and a new event controller vfunc that
expects this struct. This also saves us from making sense
of X's crossing modes and details, and makes for a
generally simpler api.
The ::focus-in and ::focus-out signals of GtkEventControllerKey
have been replaced by a single ::focus-change signal that
takes GtkCrossingData as an argument. All callers have
been updated.
The reason for this is simply that I want to get hash functions that
have their values close together, so they can fit in a smaller range
(the goal here is 12 bits). By using GQuark, we get consecutive numbers
starting with 1 (and applications have <1000 quarks usually), whereas
interned strings can be all over the place.
As a side effect we also save 64 bytes per declaration.
This got lost when modelbuttons stopped being
derived from buttons. It is necessary, since
the GTK focus machinery takes this flag seriously
nowadays, and won't let us grab focus to non-focusable
widgets.
... and use them.
Also, rename them from is/contains-pointer-focus to is/contains-pointer,
that's clear enough and not too long.
Finally, adapt the semantics of contains-pointer to mirror
GtkEventControllerKey::contains-focus. If is-pointer is set, so is
contains-pointer, they are not exclusive.
Which is what all users of this property wanted, too.
When a popover menu has an open submenu,
delay activating another item until after
the pointer is stationary for a little
while. This avoids the need for precise
horizontal motion when moving towards the
submenu.
