So far we were following a bit unique and rare doxygen comment style:
/**
* Contents of the comment.
**/
Doxygen comments with this style look balanced and neat, but many people
that contribute to KWin don't follow this style. Instead, they prefer
more traditional doxygen comment style, i.e.
/**
* Contents of the comment.
*/
Reviewing such changes has been a bit frustrating for me (so selfish!)
and for other contributors.
This change switches doxygen comment style in KWin to a more traditional
style. The main reason for doing this is to make code review process easier
for new contributors as well us.

Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
Building upon the generic X Selection support this patch establishes another
selection class representing the XDND selection and provides interfaces
to communicate drags originating from Xwayland windows to the Wayland
server KWin and drags originating from Wayland native drags to Xwayland.
For Wayland native drags KWin will claim the XDND selection as owner and
will simply translate all relevant events to the XDND protocol and receive
alike messages by X clients.
When an X client claims the XDND selection KWin is notified via the X protocol
and it decides if it allows the X drag to transcend into the Wayland protocol.
If this is the case the mouse position is tracked and on entering a Wayland
native window a proxy X Window is mapped to the top of the window stack. This
proxy window acts as a drag destination for the drag origin window and again
X messages will be translated into respective Wayland protocol calls. If the
cursor leaves the Wayland window geometry before a drop is registered, the
proxy window is unmapped, what triggers a subsequent drag leave event.
In both directions the necessary core integration is minimal. There is a single
call to be done in the drag and drop event filter through the Xwayland
interface class.
From my tests this patch facilitates drags between any Qt/KDE apps. What needs
extra care are the browsers, which use target formats, that are not directly
compatible with the Wayland protocol's MIME representation. For Chromium an
additional integration step must be done in order to provide it with a net
window stack containing the proxy window.

This change adds global touchpad swipe gestures to the
GlobalShortcutsManager and hooks up the swipe gestures as defined at the
Plasma Affenfels sprint:
* swipe up: Desktop Grid
* swipe down: Present Windows
* swipe left: previous virtual desktop
* swipe right: next virtual desktop
The main work is handled by two new classes: SwipeGesture and
GestureRecognizer. This is implemented in a way that it can be extended
to also recognize touch screen gestures and pinch gestures.
The SwipeGesture defines what is required for the gesture to trigger.
Currently this includes the minimum and maximum number of fingers
participating in the gesture and the direction. The gesture gets
registered in the GestureRecognizer.
The events for the gesture are fed into the GestureRecognizer. It
evaluates which gestures could trigger and tracks them for every update
of the gesture. In the process of the gesture tracking the
GestureRecognizer emits signals on the Gesture:
* started: when the Gesture gets considered for a sequence
* cancelled: the Gesture no longer matches the sequence
* triggered: the sequence ended and the Gesture still matches
The remaining changes are related to hook up the existing shortcut
framework with the new touchpad gestures. The GlobalShortcutManager
gained support for it, InputRedirection and EffectsHandler offer methods
to register a QAction. VirtualDesktopManager, PresentWindows and
DesktopGrid are adjusted to support the gesture.

Summary:
So far KWin's input event processing is mostly based on
InputEventFilters. A filter can - as the name suggest - filter out an
input event from further processing. Our code shows that this is not
sufficient for all input event processing.
We have several areas inside KWin where we need to have access to all
input events, where the processing needs to happen on all events and
filtering is not allowed. This results in sub-optimal code which has
classes which know too much and do too much.
Examples:
* key-repeat handling done in KeyboardInputRedirection
* Layout change OSD in Xkb
* modifier only shortcuts in Xkb
* emitting signals for Cursor class in KeyboardInputRedirection
Also there are misuses of the InputEventFilters and internal API
* DebugConsole keyboard state (uses wrong information)
* DebugConsole input events tab (uses Filter, should be a spy)
This change introduces the API needed to fix these problems. It
introduces an InputEventSpy which is modelled after the InputEventFilter
with the difference that it has only void messages and uses the KWin
introduced event classes.
The spies are always processed prior to the filters, thus we know it can
have all events.

InputRedirection so that the calls into Xkb are no longer needed.

Summary:
There are two types of constraints supported:
1. Pointer confinement
2. Pointer locking
In the case of confinement the pointer is confined to a given region of
the surface. This is comparable to general operation where the pointer
is confined to the screen region.
In the second case the pointer gets locked. That means it cannot move at
all. No further position updates are provided, only relative motion
events can go to the application. There is a hint about cursor position
update on unlock which is not yet implemented in KWayland::Server, thus
also not in this change.
The implementation in KWin grants the requests for pointer constraints
when the pointer enters the constrained region, either by pointer
movement or by e.g. stacking order changes. There is no confirmation
from user required to enter that mode. But we want to show an OSD when
the pointer gets constrained, this is not yet implemented, though.
Breaking an active constraint is relatively easy. E.g. changing the
stacking order will break the constraint if another surface is under the
cursor. Also (in case of confinement) moving the pointer to an
overlapping window breaks the confinement. But as soon as one moves the
pointer back to the window a constraint might get honoured again.
To properly break there is a dedicated event filter. It listens for a
long press of the Escape key. If hold for 3sec the pointer constraint is
broken and not activated again till the pointer got moved out of the
window. Afterward when moving in the pointer might activate again.
The escape filter ensures that the key press is forwarded to the
application if it's a short press or if another key gets pressed during
the three seconds. If the three seconds way fires, the later escape
release is not sent to the application.
This basic interaction is also ensured through an added auto test.
This change implements T4605.

The screenshot effect provides two new dbus methods to (interactively)

As a Wayland server KWin does not have to emit additional key repeat
events (unlike X11). The clients are responsible for handling this based
on the provided key repeat information.
Internally KWin needs key repeat, though. E.g. the effects need key
repeat (filtering in Present Windows), window moving by keyboard needs
repeat, etc. etc.
This change introduces the internal key repeat. For each key press a
QTimer is started which gets canceled again on the key release. If the
timer fires it invoked processKey with a new KeyboardKeyAutoRepeat state.
This is handled just like a KeyPress, but states are not updated and
the QKeyEvent has autorepeat set to true.
The event filters check for the autorepeat state and filter the event
out if they are not interested in it. E.g. the filters passing the event
to the Wayland client need to filter it out.
Currently auto-repeat is bound to using libinput. This needs to be
modified. The only backend sending repeated events is X11, thus for
other backends it should be enabled.
Whether creating a timer on each key event is a good idea is something to
evaluate in future.

So far the DrmOutput connected to all input events when going into
power saving. As we now have the input filters it's better to just
install a filter when an output goes into powersave and remove the
input filter again when all outputs are enabled again.
To make this work InputRedirection gains a new method to add a new
filter as the first filter. This is a potentially dangerous method
as it allows to have a filter before LockScreenFilter gets the
events. But in case of DPMS it's something we actually want.
A nice new feature possible with the input filter is that we can
filter out the event which re-enables the outputs. Thus when getting
on a system with output off and screen locked, the first key hit
doesn't go to the lock screen.

Similar to the change regarding pointer and touch a
KeyboardInputRedirection is created. The Xkb class is also moved to
the new files keyboard_input.h and keyboard_input.cpp.
Just like in the case of PointerInputRedirection no signals are added,
but the existing signals in InputRedirection are directly invoked.
All pointer related code is moved into a new class called
PointerInputRedirection.
The main idea is to simplify the code and make it easier to maintain.
Therefore also a few changes in the setup were performed:
* before init() is called, no processing is performed
* init() is only called on Wayland and after Workspace is created
* init property is set to false once Workspace or WaylandServer is
destroyed
Thus code can operate on the following assumptions:
* Workspace is valid
* WaylandServer is valid
* ScreenLocker integration is used
The various checks whether there is a waylandServer() and whether
there is a seat are no longer needed.
Some of the checks have been reordered to be faster in the most common
use case of using libinput. E.g. whether warping is supported is first
evaluated by the variable bound to whether we have libinput and only if
that is false the backend is checked.
The new class doesn't have signals but invokes the signals provided
by InputRedirection. I didn't want to add new signals as I consider
them as not needed. The areas in KWin needing those signals should
be ported to InputEventFilters.
When the screen gets locked any existing sequence gets cancelled
and the focused touch surface gets reset. While screen is locked
touch events are filtered to only go to lock screen or input methods.
Test case is added for touch event during lock screen.

Instead of only making the active client the focused keyboard surface,
the method now also performs the lock screen security restriction.
Also just like udatePointerWindow the method becomes public, so that
it can be used from the LockScreenEventFilter and is connected for
lock state changes. This means as soon as the screen locks the current
focused keyboard surface will get a leave event and get an enter event
once the screen unlocks.
The auto test is adjusted to verify these new conditions.
Reviewed-By: Bhushan Shah
The main motivation of this change is to remove the spaghetti code
in the input event handling. Each area of processing (e.g. lock screen)
is moved into a dedicated event filter. Processing the events now just
means calling a virtual method on each of the filters. As soon as the
method returns true, the processing is stopped.
This allows to have the security for the lock screen just in one place:
whenever the screen is locked the event filter can ensure that the events
are not further processed.
Currently all event filters are implemented directly in input.cpp and
are registered by InputRedirection itself. In future it would be better
to have those moved to the area they belong to and get registered from
there. E.g. the input filter for EffectsHandlerImpl should be created
by EffectsHandlerImpl. This requires an improved API to ensure that the
filters are installed in the correct sequence.
We take the configuration from the kcminputrc config file, group
keyboard (see plasma-desktop.git/kcms/keyboard/kcmmisc.cpp)
The values are only used for libinput. For backends providing input
events we expect to get repeated key events anyway.
On popular demand!
This change tracks how modifiers are used and detects a modifier only
key press/release. That is:
* no other key is pressed when the modifier gets pressed
* no other key gets pressed before the modifier gets released
If such a press/release is detected, we call a configurable dbus call.
The possible shortcuts can be configured in kwinrc, group
"ModifierOnlyShortcuts". The following keys are supported:
* Shift
* Control
* Alt
* Meta
As value it takes a QStringList (comma seperated string) with
service,path,interface,method,additionalargs
E.g. to invoke Desktop Grid effect on Meta key:
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Meta=org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin/,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,ShowDesktopGrid
I do not intend to add a config interface for it. Let's keep it a hidden
