* Selection mode: Space to cancel the selection
This adds the "selection mode", which is activated when text is selected
in the text box. The selection mode is exited when the selection is
cleared.
While the selection mode is activated, the Space and Esc keys are
modified into the "selection cancel" key, which remove the selection
without changing the text.
The space bar is otherwise easy to type by accident during a selection
and causes the selected text to be deleted.
* Selection mode: Move each ends of selection separately with slider
When the selection mode is activated, the space bar sliders change how
they affect the selection:
- The left side of the slider moves the left position of the selection.
To shrink the selection from the left side, the slider must be
activated by sliding to the left, extending the selection
temporarilly, then by sliding to the right.
- The right side of the slider affects the right position if the
selection.
* Construct a single handler
* Add a delay after a Keyevent key in a macro
Add a delay before sending the next key to avoid race conditions causing
keys to be handled in the wrong order. Notably, KeyEvent keys handling
is scheduled differently than the other edit functions.
* Add introductory text to the tables
And mention characters that don't have escapes
* Turn tables around
Tables should be structured by what the user wants, not by what the code does.
* Address Julow review #1
- Merge tables, no matter which rule requires escaping; "in the usual way for XML" applies to both
- 3 escapes not mandatory removed from table to new ¶ below
- Found one more symbol → legend
* doc: Clarify escaping of comma and colon per #915
These keys are the equivalent of ctrl+backspace and ctrl+delete,
respectively.
They can be reached with Gesture+backspace and Gesture+delete
respectively.
Many kind of KeyValues don't need to be wrapped into a Macro to show a
specific symbol. This is especially useful as Macro keys are not
affected by modifiers.
The parser is changed to have a fast-path when a key value is not a
macro.
* Massage Intro
Start with definition, then use cases, then valid syntax.
Use "legend" rather than "symbol" for the visible legend on the keyboard
Rephrase to avoid "exhaustive". Other simplifications.
* Edit section "Modifiers"
Separate into two tables, each preceded by relevant introduction
* Shuffle sections
Retitle "Special keys"; as used in the Intro, this term refers to all the keywords in this file.
Put two contrasting sections together, add "In contrast," and reword.
Add "macro" keys that behave as if a sequence of keys is typed.
Macro can be added to custom layouts or through the "Add keys to the
keyboard option". The syntax is:
symbol:key1,key2,..
The symbol cannot contain a : character. 'key1', 'key2', etc.. are:
- 'String with \' escaping'
The key will generate the specified string.
- keyevent:123
The key will send a keyevent.
- The name of any special key
* layouts/latn_bone.xml: use new syntax and add most missing keys
new syntax: n/s/e/w/ne/nw/se/sw instead of key{1..8}
Some keys were missing keys according to the tests, this adds them in a
similar way to latn_neo2.
Only `switch_forward` didn't fit (because of the 0
at the bottom of the spacebar).
* layouts/latn_bone.xml: even better bone
- use number row to unclutter rest of keyboard
- use modmap for special shift functions of bone layout
- add missing loc characters
- use standard bottom bar
- add diacritics from the 3 dead key keys on bone
- 2 small keys left and right of the number row (don't fit all 6
diacritics, so they leak onto the number keys)
- row 1 is full too, so the dead keys from the left of that row leak
onto the keys there as well
open questions:
- should bone rely on the math layer or use modmap?
- possibility to combine diacritics?
This moves some computations that used to be done during onDraw into the
new Theme.Computed class. This also removes Paint objects from the Theme
class, making it data-only.
This is a requirement for making some keys render differently.
