Instead of using a scan code, which for scan code set 2 will not
represent the expected character mapping index, we could just use
another variable in the KeyEvent structure that correctly points to the
character index.
This change is mostly relevant to the KeyboardMapper application, and
also to the WindowServer code, as both handle KeyEvents and need to
use the character mapping index in various situations.
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).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;

$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
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 :^)
with WindowInput{Preempted,Restored} Events and allow Widgets to save
the state of their focus preemption. As of now, only Popups will
preempt input and trigger these events.
LibWeb's Window object will need to know the OS-level position and size
of the GUI::Window for e.g. screenX, screenY, outerWidth, outerHeight.
It will also need to know about changes to that data.
Previously Menus set themselves as active input solely to make
sure CaptureInput modals would close, but this is a functional
half-truth. Menus don't actually use the active input role; they
preempt normal Windows during event handling instead.
Now the active input window is notified on preemption and Menus
can remain outside the active input concept. This lets us make
more granular choices about modal behavior. For now, the only
thing clients care about is menu preemption on popup.
Fixes windows which close on changes to active input closing
on their own context menus.
SystemEffects are sent to the WindowManager through
set_system_effects() and broadcast to Desktop clients with
update_system_effects(). WindowManager is reponsible for saving,
loading and rebroadcasting effects from WindowServer.ini on
config changes.
Previously we would wait for a separate message confirming that a
wallpaper got set instead of just calling a synchronous api.
I'm guessing that this was a limitation of the IPC system when
WindowServer got ported to using it.
This patch removes the SetWallpaperFinished message and updates the
set_wallpaper api to synchronously return a success boolean.
Previously, GUI::Window::is_maximized() had to make a synchronous IPC
request to WindowServer in order to find out if the window was indeed
maximized.
This patch removes the need for synchronous IPC by instead pushing the
maximization state to clients when it changes.
The motivation for this change was that GUI::Statusbar was checking
if the containing window was maximized in its resize_event(), causing
all windows with a statusbar to block on sync IPC *during* resize.
Browser would typically block for ~15 milliseconds here every time
on my machine, continuously during live resize.
This is useful, for instance, in games in which you can switch held
items using the scroll wheel. In order to implement this, they
previously would have to either add a hard-coded division by 4, or look
up your mouse settings to adjust correctly.
This commit adds an MouseEvent.wheel_raw_delta_x() and
MouseEvent.wheel_raw_delta_y().
Applets and windows would like to be able to know when the applet
area has been resized. For example, this happens asynchronously after
an applet has been resized, so we cannot then rely on the applet area
position synchronously after resizing. This adds a new message
applet_area_rect_changed and associated Event AppletAreaRectChange,
and the appropriate virtual functions.
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.
This allows WindowServer to use multiple framebuffer devices and
compose the desktop with any arbitrary layout. Currently, it is assumed
that it is configured contiguous and non-overlapping, but this should
eventually be enforced.
To make rendering efficient, each window now also tracks on which
screens it needs to be rendered. This way we don't have to iterate all
the windows for each screen but instead use the same rendering loop and
then only render to the screen (or screens) that the window actually
uses.
Instead of everybody getting their system fonts from Gfx::FontDatabase
(where it's all hardcoded), they now get it from WindowServer.
These are then plumbed into the usual Gfx::FontDatabase places so that
the old default_font() and default_fixed_width_font() APIs keep working.
Instead of doing a full IPC round-trip for the client and server to
greet each other upon connecting, the server now automatically sends
a "fast_greet" message when a client connects.
The client simply waits for that message to arrive before proceeding.
(Waiting is necessary since LibGUI relies on the palette information
included in the greeting.)
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
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. :^)
We now send out MenuItemEntered and MenuItemLeft messages to the client
when the user hovers/unhovers menu items.
On the client side, these become GUI::ActionEvent, with one of two
types: ActionEnter or ActionLeave. They are sent to the Application.
This will allow GUI applications to react to these events.
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.
WindowServer now collects applet windows into an "applet area" which is
really just a window that a WM (window management) client can position
via IPC.
This is rather hackish, and I think we should come up with a better
architecture eventually, but this brings back the missing applets since
the global menu where they used to live is gone.
Window icons in Taskbar were previously received in WM events with
shbuf ID's. Now that Gfx::ShareableBitmap is backed by anonymous files,
we can easily switch to using those.
