Even though zwp_text_input_v2_content_hint and
QtWaylandServer::zwp_text_input_v2::content_hint represent the same
values, they are not the same from the compiler perspective.
Due to being a compositor, kwin has to conform to some certain
interfaces. It means a lot of virtual functions and function tables to
integrate with C APIs. Naturally, we not always want to use every
argument in such functions.
Since we get -Wunused-parameter from -Wall, we have to plumb those
unused arguments in order to suppress compiler warnings at the moment.
However, I don't think that extra work is worth it. We cannot change or
alter prototypes in any way to fix the warning the desired way. Q_UNUSED
and similar macros are not good indicators of whether an argument is
used too, we tend to overlook putting or removing those macros. I've
also noticed that Q_UNUSED are not used to guide us with the removal no
longer needed parameters.
Therefore, I think it's worth adding -Wno-unused-parameter compiler
option to stop the compiler producing warnings about unused parameters.
It changes nothing except that we don't need to put Q_UNUSED anymore,
which can be really cumbersome sometimes. Note that it doesn't affect
unused variables, you'll still get a -Wunused-variable compiler warning
if a variable is unused.
This makes it possible to show the input method when using a client that
doesn't support Wayland input methods (e.g. Xwayland).
This adds 2 dbus API entry points:
- activeClientSupported property: That tells us if the current client
doesn't support text-input-v*
- forceActivate method: forces the activation of the input method. This
configures the input method in a state that we can use to forward the
input method's keystrokes to the client, emulating a hardware keyboard.
BUG: 4399911
Usually, a client will only use text input v2/v3. Do not return the focused
surface for text input if it has no relevant text input resource.
If text-input object is created after surface get the focus, send
enter to this text input object. Ensure sendEnter and sendLeave always
appear in pair.
Also, use the same technique in text-input-v2 for text-input-v3 to
handle per resource's enable/disable state, and only send update to
enabled text-input-v3 object.
Instead of enabled/disabled. This made it possible for non-focussed
processes to interact with our virtual keyboard. In practice, this meant
that sometimes when switching applications, the disabled from the former
application would arrive after the enabled of the latter, leaving kwin
in a broken state (that the user could address by tapping on the screen
just once).
Otherwise we disable it and all events will be disabled (since surface
gets cleared).
This is especially useful since otherwise we lose synchronicity with the
client and weird behaviours happen (like when the client thinks it has a
keyboard but it actually does not).
s_version is used only to initialize a global so there is no point for
storing protocol version in a static member field and use funky syntax
in the cpp file to initialize it. This change also simplifies the code.
- Drop the v0 support, it is no longer used by anything
- Adapt the text-input related methods in seat interface to include
versioning, this will be useful for when zwp_text_input_v3 support is
included in kwayland-server
- Refactor SeatInterface to get rid of globalTextInput, it is no longer
needed with the new approach
- Refactor out the ContentHints and ContentPurpose enums in separate
header file which can be shared by zwp_text_input_v2/3 implementation
