Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
A situation meant we want to only enable the new keyboard applet by
default on wayland, using the legacy one from the X11 daemon on X11.
We need a unique service name so that we can use DBus activation on it.
On that signal, we asquare the new layout anyway all over the places.
Better just pass it along with the signal instead.
Also it's in-line with DBus API signal.
The base handle for layouts in libxkbcommon is an index. Let's follow
this notion in our API to set/get layout, instead of using it's name as
an ID.
On the way, do cleanup. Following methods are removed as not needed any
more:
- Xkb::layoutShortNames()
- Xkb::layoutNames()
If user set custom name for the layout, country flag is not displayed.
Instead, Display Name is shown in the applet.
This reveals shortcomings in current DBus API design.
We need more data to pass over DBus to fix this.
Then, multiple improvements are possible:
- fix aforementioned bug
- add flags to context menu
- display correct translated Layout Name in the context menu
- simpler, cleaner DBus API and applet implementation
- etc.
It's enough to give info about current layout only or all the layouts
altogether, so no need to pass layout to asqure in an argument.
P-W part:
impr: Keyboard Layout plugin: drop excessive DBus API method arguments
Due space constraints, Short Name is the only name suitable for keyboard
layout indication on panels and systray. Usually it's just 2 symbols
corresponding to standard ISO country code.
libxkbcommon doesn't have this information, so we have to store it in
compositor for the exposing:
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/192
It's exposed by getLayoutDisplayName() DBus method now, as it should initially.
For Long Name, getCurrentLayoutLongName() method was added.
Relevant P-W commits:
Keyboard Layout plugin: passthrough Short Name from compositor to QML applet
fix: Keyboard Layout plugin: wrong property for passing Short Name
X11 part, P-D:
feat: expose keyboard layout Long Name via DBus
CCBUG: 390079
FEATURE:
When deciding do OSD or not, we need to consider not only last saved layout,
but last actual layout also, when comparing it to current one.

BUG: 425590
The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Implemented for Global, Virtual Desktop and Application layout policies.
Not implemented for Window policy due separate windows do not preserve
their IDs between sessions (still could be implemented the same way as for Application policy).
Layout saving/restoring happens on Session save/load.
Covered by unit tests
Summary:
QProcess::error() has been deprecated since Qt 5.6. It is highly advised
to use QProcess::errorOccurred() instead.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
This change introduces the initial support for keyboard layout switching
policies like in the X11 session. This first change only adds support for
Global and Virtual Desktop policy. This means the current layout is
stored in context to the current virtual desktop. Whenever one changes
the virtual desktop the previous layout is restored. If the user has not
yet navigated to this virtual desktop a switch to default layout is
performed.
This is the first code interacting with the new Virtual Desktop API which
is not based on integer ids. To fully support this the API is slightly
extended.

Summary:
Unfortunately Xkb does not emit a signal when the keyboard layout
changes. Due to that we need to manually check in KeyboardLayout after
each action which could change the layout whether the layout changed.
This was not yet done for the case when the layout got changed through
the DBus interface. Resulting in the DBus signal not emitted.
This change addresses the issue by invoking the check for change after
changing the keyboard layout.

Summary:
This change introduces a new class KeyboardLayoutDBusInterface which
implements the same DBus interface as the keyboard kded module.
Thus components which interact with the keyboard kded through dbus start
to also work on Wayland.
Together with D4322 this should result in keyboard layout being available
on the lock screen.

Summary:
So far KWin parsed the kxbkrc at multiple places (once in Xkb, once
in KeyboardLayout). This is now replaced by one KSharedConfigPtr hold
by kwinApp, just like the normal kwinrc. The KSharedConfigPtr is now
passed to Xkb.
As a nice side effect this makes it easier to test keyboard layout
changes as we can now properly mock the keyboard configuration. Thus
this change also comes with an autotest for loading keyboard layout
configuration. This is becoming more and more a need as we start
getting bug reports for layout specific issues like global shortcuts
not working with Greek layout.

Summary:
Our keyboard layout kcm allows to set a global shortcut to switch to a
specific keyboard layout. So far KWin/Wayland did not support those
shortcuts, only the switch to next layout shortcut was supported.
This change introduces support for custom layout shortcuts. For that
we iterate over all available layouts and check whether a shortcut is
registered. If that is the case a QAction is created and passed to
KGlobalAccel.
As the triggering code is similar to the menu, the switchLayout lambda
is split out into a dedicated method and translating the layouts is
extracted into a method.

Summary:
On X11 the SNI for keyboard layout is provided by the keyboard kded.
On Wayland that kded has no real access to the layouts and cannot
properly implement switching. Given that it's better to integrate the
SNI directly in KWin.
The implementation of the SNI is largly based on the existing SNI from
plasma-desktop/kcms/keyboard. The implementation so far supports:
* Switching to next layout on toggle
* Presenting all layouts in a context menu
* Switching to a specific layout through the context menu
* Opening the keyboard layout configuration module
* scroll on SNI to switch layout
* config option whether to show the SNI
Not yet supported are:
* flags and/or short text for the layouts
The last point needs more explanation. On X11 the layout name is
something like "de" or "us". This can be directly mapped to a flag and
can be added as a short note.
Xkbcommon does not provide this information directly. Instead it provides
us the full name of the layout, e.g. "German" or "English (us)". There is
no way in the API to go from "German" to "de".
Instead we need to parse the evdev.xml file to gather all information
about layouts. This is already done in the keyboard kcm to configure
layouts. The implementation needs to be split out into a small helper
library.

Summary:
We had bound this to whether we use libinput as the keyboard layout
change got emitted from within our Xkb class. This class gets used
also on X11 for modifier only shortcuts.
With the latest changes the notification got split out from Xkb into
an own class which is not used on X11 any more. Thus the check is no
longer used.
By removing the check we can test the OSD in a nested setup.
Test Plan: OSD is shown when running a nested Plasma

Summary:
So far the implementation of keyboard layout handling was split between
KeyboardInputRedirection and Xkb. KeyboardInputRedirection registered
the global shortcut and did the handling for layout switch and config
changes. Xkb did the notification on layout change.
Layout changes can nowadays be detected through an InputEventSpy. It
can only happen after a key change or an explicit layout switch. Thus
it does not need to be in Xkb anymore which allows to reduce Xkb to
only care about the Xkb keymap and state tracking.
This change introduces a new class KeyboardLayout which is an
InputEventSpy and takes over the task of the layout change notification
from Xkb and the layout management from KeyboardInputRedirection. Thus
everything related to management of keyboard layout is together in one
class.
This allows in future to add unit test to it (requires further cleanup
of Xkb to be able to use it and drop the InputRedirection dependency) and
opens the possibility to also take over keyboard layout management on X11
for the Plasma desktop.
