This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

You can now add applications to Quick Launch via the context
menu option of their windows. Clicking it creates an event with the
stored PID of the process that created the window. The Taskbar receives
the event and tells the QuickLaunchWidget to add the PID, which then
gets the executable using /sys/kernel/processes. It also looks for an
AppFile using the name from the process object and if there is one, it
uses that, since it should contain a better formatted name.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
This was intentionally enabled with WindowModes as a new Taskbar
convenience, but on second thought, it doesn't add up visually.
Taskbar buttons show blockers' context menus when available,
which is a bit confusing when the window isn't visible. The
modeless window's disabled context menu options and inactive title
bar also contradict the button. So, this patch reenables the
restriction for now. Blocking modals you don't want to answer to
immediately can still be tucked away on another workspace.
This adds a keyboard event for Super+0 to Super+9. Later to be consumed
in the taskbar.
Currently only this keyboard sequence is supported:
- Super key down
- Digit key down
But not this:
- Super key down
- Digit key down
- Digit key up
- Digit key down
This also adds the ability to query how many virtual desktops are
set up, and for the Taskbar to be notified when the active virtual
desktop has changed.
To make Assistant useful we need a way to quickly trigger it. I've
added a new specialized event coming from the window server for when a
user is holding down 'Super' and hits 'Space'.
The Taskbar will be able to listen for this event and spawn a new
instance of the Assistant if it's not already running.
This patch removes the IPC endpoint numbers that needed to be specified
in the IPC files. Since the string hash is a (hopefully) collision free
number that depends on the name of the endpoint, we now use that
instead. :^)
Additionally, endpoint magic is now treated as a u32, because endpoint
numbers were never negative anyway.
For cases where the endpoint number does have to be hardcoded (a current
case is LookupServer because the endpoint number must be known in LibC),
the syntax has been made more explicit to avoid confusing those
unfamiliar. To hardcode the endpoint magic, the following syntax is now
used:
endpoint EndpointName [magic=1234]
This patch removes the IPC endpoint numbers that needed to be specified

This commit adds an event called WM_SuperKeyPressed which is sent to all
windows via WindowManagerServerConnection.
The event is fired from WindowManager when the super key is pressed,
which is the windows key on most keyboards :)
With this patch the window manager related functionality is split out
onto a new endpoint pair named WindowManagerServer/Client. This allows
window manager functionality to be potentially privilege separated in
the future. To this end, a new client named WMConnectionClient
is used to maintain a window manager connection. When a process
connects to the endpoint and greets the WindowServer as a window manager
(via Window::make_window_manager(int)), they're subscribed to the events
they requested via the WM event mask.
This patch also removes the hardcoding of the Taskbar WindowType to
receive WM events automatically. However, being a window manager still
requires having an active window, at the moment.
