Adding support for the keyboard shortcuts inhibit protocol allows remote
desktop and virtualisation software to receive all keyboard input in
order to pass it through to their clients so users can fully interact
the their remote/virtual session. The software usually provides its own
key combination to release its "grab" to all keyboard input. The
inhibitor can be deactivated by the user by removing focus from the
surface using another input device such as the pointer.
Use support for the procotol in wlroots to add support to sway. Extend
the input manager with handlers for inhibitor creation and destruction
and appropriate bookkeeping. Attach the inhibitors to the seats they
apply to to avoid having to search the list of all currently existing
inhibitors on every keystroke and passing the inhibitor manager around.
Add a helper function to retrieve the inhibitor applying to the
currently focused surface of a seat, if one exists.
Extend bindsym with a flag for bindings that should be processed even if
an inhibitor is active. Conversely this disables all normal shortcuts if
an inhibitor is found for the currently focused surface in
keyboard::handle_key_event() since they don't have that flag set. Use
above helper function to determine if an inhibitor exists for the
surface that would eventually receive input.

Use libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count to determine whether
a pointer is a touchpad.
swaymsg is also updated to reflect the new touchpad type.
If a seat does not exist in seat_cmd_cursor, do not create it. A seat
without any attachments is useless since it will have no capabilities.
This changes `input_manager_get_seat` to have an additional argument
that dictates whether or not to create the seat if it does not exist.
This fixes an issue where on reload, all input devices that were added
via an implicit fallback to the default seat would be removed from the
default seat and applications would crash due to the seat having no
capabilities.
On reload, there is a query for a seat config with the fallback setting
set (it can either be true or false). If no such seat config exists, the
default seat is created (if needed) and has the implicit fallback true
applied to its seat config. This is the same procedure that occurs when
a new input is detected.
The input manager is a singleton object. Passing the sway_input_manager
argument to each of its functions is unnecessary, while removing the
argument makes it obvious to the caller that it's a singleton. This
patch removes the argument and makes the input manager use server.input
instead.
On a similar note:
* sway_input_manager.server is removed in favour of using the server
global.
* seat.input is removed because it can get it from server.input.
Due to a circular dependency, creating seat0 is now done directly in
server_init rather than in input_manager_create. This is because
creating seats must be done after server.input is set.
Lastly, it now stores the default seat name using a constant and removes
a second reference to seat0 (in input_manager_get_default_seat).
This commit changes the meaning of sway_container so that it only refers
to layout containers and view containers. Workspaces, outputs and the
root are no longer known as containers. Instead, root, outputs,
workspaces and containers are all a type of node, and containers come in
two types: layout containers and view containers.
In addition to the above, this implements type safe variables. This
means we use specific types such as sway_output and sway_workspace
instead of generic containers or nodes. However, it's worth noting that
in a few places places (eg. seat focus and transactions) referring to
them in a generic way is unavoidable which is why we still use nodes in
some places.
If you want a TL;DR, look at node.h, as well as the struct definitions
for root, output, workspace and container. Note that sway_output now
contains a workspaces list, and workspaces now contain a tiling and
floating list, and containers now contain a pointer back to the
workspace.
There are now functions for seat_get_focused_workspace and
seat_get_focused_container. The latter will return NULL if a workspace
itself is focused. Most other seat functions like seat_get_focus and
seat_set_focus now accept and return nodes.
In the config->handler_context struct, current_container has been
replaced with three pointers: node, container and workspace. node is the
same as what current_container was, while workspace is the workspace
that the node resides on and container is the actual container, which
may be NULL if a workspace itself is focused.
The global root_container variable has been replaced with one simply
called root, which is a pointer to the sway_root instance.
The way outputs are created, enabled, disabled and destroyed has
changed. Previously we'd wrap the sway_output in a container when it is
enabled, but as we don't have containers any more it needs a different
approach. The output_create and output_destroy functions previously
created/destroyed the container, but now they create/destroy the
sway_output. There is a new function output_disable to disable an output
without destroying it.
Containers have a new view property. If this is populated then the
container is a view container, otherwise it's a layout container. Like
before, this property is immutable for the life of the container.
Containers have both a `sway_container *parent` and
`sway_workspace *workspace`. As we use specific types now, parent cannot
point to a workspace so it'll be NULL for containers which are direct
children of the workspace. The workspace property is set for all
containers, except those which are hidden in the scratchpad as they have
no workspace.
In some cases we need to refer to workspaces in a container-like way.
For example, workspaces have layout and children, but when using
specific types this makes it difficult. Likewise, it's difficult for a
container to get its parent's layout when the parent could be another
container or a workspace. To make it easier, some helper functions have
been created: container_parent_layout and container_get_siblings.
container_remove_child has been renamed to container_detach and
container_replace_child has been renamed to container_replace.
`container_handle_fullscreen_reparent(con, old_parent)` has had the
old_parent removed. We now unfullscreen the workspace when detaching the
container, so this function is simplified and only needs one argument
now.
container_notify_subtree_changed has been renamed to
container_update_representation. This is more descriptive of its
purpose. I also wanted to be able to call it with whatever container was
changed rather than the container's parent, which makes bubbling up to
the workspace easier.
There are now state structs per node thing. ie. sway_output_state,
sway_workspace_state and sway_container_state.
The focus, move and layout commands have been completely refactored to
work with the specific types. I considered making these a separate PR,
but I'd be backporting my changes only to replace them again, and it's
easier just to test everything at once.
