A wlr_keyboard_group allows for multiple keyboard devices to be
combined into one logical keyboard. This is useful for keyboards that
are split into multiple input devices despite appearing as one physical
keyboard in the user's mind.
This adds support for wlr_keyboard_groups to sway. There are two
keyboard groupings currently supported, which can be set on a per-seat
basis. The first keyboard grouping is none, which disables all grouping
and provides no functional change. The second is keymap, which groups
the keyboard devices in the seat by their keymap. With this grouping,
the effective layout and repeat info is also synced across keyboard
devices in the seat. Device specific bindings will still be executed as
normal, but everything else related to key and modifier events will be
handled by the keyboard group's keyboard.
This keeps track of whether surfaces received a key press event and
will only send a key release event if the pressed event was sent. This
also requires changing the keycodes that are sent via wl_keyboard_enter
to only include those that were previously sent. This makes it so
surfaces do not receive key release events for keys that they never
received a key press for and makes it so switching focus doesn't leak
keycodes that were consumed by bindings.
This adds an ipc event related to input devices. Currently the
following changes are supported:
- added: when an input device becomes available
- removed: when an input device is no longer available
- xkb_keymap_changed: (keyboards only) the keymap changed
- xkb_layout_changed: (keyboards only) the effective layout changed
Before the delta input config is stored, this attempts to compile a
keymap with it. If the keymap fails to compile, then the first line of
the xkbcommon log entry will be included with a `CMD_FAILURE`, the
entire xkbcommon log entry will be included in the sway error log, and
the delta will not be stored.
This only handles basic issues such as a layouts not existing. This
will NOT catch more complex issues such as when a variant does
exist, but not for the given layout (ex: `azerty` is a valid variant,
but the `us` layout does not have a `azerty` variant).
This attempts to use the default keymap when the one defined in the
input config fails to compile. The goal is to make it so the keyboard
is always in a usable state, even if it is not the user's requested
settings as usability is more important.
This also removes the calls to `getenv` for the `XKB_DEFAULT_*` family
of environment variables. The reasoning is libxkbcommon will fallback
to using those (and then the system defaults) when any of the rule
names are `NULL` or an empty string anyway so there is no need for
sway to duplicate the efforts.
Modifier handling functions were moved into sway/input/keyboard.c;
opposite_direction for enum wlr_direction into sway/tree/output.c;
and get_parent_pid into sway/tree/root.c .
When resetting the keyboard during reload, disarm the key repeat on all
keyboards since the bindings (and possibly keyboard) will be freed before
the key repeat can go off.
Now 'repeat_delay' and 'repeat_rate' control the initial delay
and rate (per second) of repeated binding invocations.
If the repeat delay is zero, binding repetition is disabled.
When the repeat rate is zero, the binding is repeated exactly
once, assuming no other key events intervene.
Each sway_keyboard is provided with a wayland timer event source.
When a valid keypress binding has been found, a callback to
handle_keyboard_repeat is set. Any key event will either clear
the callback or (if the new key event is a valid keypress binding)
delay the callback again.
* Ensure that modifier keys are identified even when the next key does
not produce a keysym. This requires that modifier change tracking
be done for each sway_shortcut_state.
* Permit regular and --release shortcuts on the same key combination.
Distinct bindings are identified for press and release cases; note
that the release binding needs to be identified for both key press
and key release events.
* Maintain ascending sort order for the shortcut state list, and keep
track of the number of pressed key ids, for simpler (and hence
faster) searching of the list of key bindings.
* Move binding duplicate detection into get_active_binding to avoid
duplicating error messages.
The same shortcut algorithm is now used for keycodes,
raw keysyms, and translated keysyms. Pressed keysyms
are now stored in association with the keycodes that
generated them. Modifier keycodes (and associated
keysyms) are identified retroactively by the subsequent
change to the modifier flags.
