Summary:
Pointer constraints should become disabled when the TabBox is invoked. Since
the current client stays activated while TabBox is enabled and currently can
not be deactivated with the risk of regression as discussed in D13758, disable
all pointer constraining explicitly and enable it again when the TabBox is
closed.
Test Plan: Manually in Wayland session.

Summary:
If the new pointer position is "off screen", PointerInputRedirection
just ignores that new position. So, pointer remains on its previous
position. In some particular cases, like reaching default panel, it
degrades desktop experience because one have to slowly move pointer in
order to reach what he/she wants.
This change addresses that problem by confining the new pointer position
to screen geometry.

Summary:
Instead of seeing the cursor <--> on the left edge you now see an icon
that looks like |<- .
This brings kwin decorations in line with GTK CSD icons.
In theory this is also useful to tell which window will resize in the
case of side-by-side windows (regardless of whether borders are on or
not). In practice with the adwaita icon theme I tested with it's not
very intuitive to realise which is which till you learn the icon.
Change is more involved than it should be as Qt::CursorShape doesn't
have these entries, and I don't want to shadow that enum internally or
have
to change kwin effect code.
Specifics depend on cursor icon theme if they are not present it will
fallback to the <--> icon. (Breeze does not have them currently)

Summary:
From Wayland documentation:
"When a seat's focus enters a surface, the pointer image is undefined and
a client should respond to this event by setting an appropriate pointer
image with the set_cursor request."
KWin's interpretation so far for the undefined pointer image was to
remove the pointer image when entering a surface waiting for the client
to set a cursor image. This can result in a short flicker as there might
be a frame without a cursor image.
This patch changes the behavior by keeping the previous image till the
application set a new one. This brings some advantages:
* if the application is not responding a cursor is still shown
* if the same cursor is used as in the previous window we don't have a
flicker

Summary:
During pointer motion we already had the condition that an update of
focused pointer surface can only happen when no button is pressed. But
there are more conditions where we try to update the focused pointer even
if a button is pressed. E.g. if the stacking order changes.
This happens when trying to move one of Qt's dock widgets:
1. Press inside a dock widget
2. Qt opens another window, which is underneath the cursor
3. KWin sends pointer leave to parent window
4. dock widget movement breaks
This change ensures that also this sequence works as expected and the
pointer gets only updated when there are no buttons pressed, no matter
from where we go into the update code path.

This change makes KWin aware of whether a surface is a popup and tracks
through a new PopupInputFilter whether there are popup windows. In case
there are popups the new filter waits for mouse press events and cancels
the popups if the press does not happen on any surface belonging to the
same client. To quote the relevant section of the Wayland documentation:
The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse
button is pressed in any other client's window. A click in any of the
client's surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in other
clients' surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.
So far the support is still incomplete. Not yet implemented are:
* support xdg_shell popup windows

Summary:
Consider the following situation: we have three InputEventFilter linked
in the sequence A - B - C.
The input filters are processing pointer motion events. The expected
behavior is that the new motion is processed in the sequence
A -> B -> C
So far this did not work correctly if the pointer gets warped during the
processing. If e.g. filter B warps the pointer we get a motion sequence:
A (1) -> B (1) -> A (2) -> B (2) -> C (2) -> C (1)
The filters following the one warping the pointer get first the newer
than the older position. This is obviously wrong. Unfortunately it is not
just a theoretical condition, but a condition happening when interacting
with the screenedges, which warp the pointer.
This change introduces a PositionUpdateBlocker in
PointerInputRedirection::processMotion to ensure that a processMotion
call finishes prior to the next update. If the PositionUpdateBlocker is
blocked the new position gets scheduled and processed once the
PositionUpdateBlocker gets destroyed.
With this we get the expected sequence for B warping pointer:
A (1) -> B (1) -> C (1) -> A (2) -> B (2) -> C (2)
This should hopefully improve the interaction with screen edges on
Wayland.

Summary:
The functionality regarding triggering modifier only shortcuts is moved
out of Xkb - where it doesn't belong to - and is turned into an input
event spy listening for the changes it is interested in. Previously
the state got queried by asking e.g. for the pressed buttons, now it's
tracked directly.
The X11 side needs a larger change due to that as now pushing the events
into Xkb does not trigger modifier only shortcuts any more. Instead the
"normal" way through the platform API needs to be used which triggers the
processing of filters and spies.
The problem here is that our redirections only process events if they are
inited and that only happens on Wayland. We cannot call init on them as
that would create all the Wayland filters and spies and processing would
probably break. As an intermediate solution the spies are now processed
and there we know that it won't matter. A future solution would be to
remove the init checks completely and just send through both filters and
spies and ensure that on X11 only the supported ones are loaded.

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.

Reviewers: #plasma, #kwin

Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D3780
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.

got slightly adjusted:
* Libinput Pointer event extended by the additional data points
* Libinput Pointer event carries the delta as a QSizeF instead of
QPointF
* PointerInputRedirection adjusted to take a pointer motion event with
more arguments
* Custom QMouseEvent subclass adjusted to carry the additional members
The DebugConsole is adjusted to show the relative motion events in
addition to the global position.

Summary:
The raw pointer button events intercepted in the XInput2 input filter
get sent through the Platform to the PointerInputRedirection. This
makes the PointerInputRedirection track the pointer button state and
emit the signals for button changed and axis changed.
These signals are used by the modifier-only shortcut detection to
determine whether the shortcut should trigger.
On X11 the "normal" input handling doesn't use the InputRedirection
and the emitted signals are not consumed by anything else. As
PointerInputRedirection is not inited the events are not forwarded
to the input filter, thus won't be processed by other parts and
won't interfere with the normal event processing on X11.
Given that it also doesn't matter that the input filter does not
apply the left-handed setting. The internal tracking will have a
wrong mouse button, but nothing is going to do decisions based on
the value of the pressed mouse button. For the moment all we are
interested in is that a button is pressed.

BUG: 367730
Summary:
For Xwayland windows we observed that passing pointer focus to another
window does not trigger proper leave events on X. Which results in e.g.
tooltip windows to show after the pointer moved to a completely
different position on a completely different surface.
This is a bug in Xwayland which will be fixed in 1.19 (already fixed in
master). Given that there is a runtime version check. Although it's fixed
in Xwayland master it's worth to carry a workaround.
To circumvent this problem KWin warps the xcb pointer to 0/0 whever an
X window loses pointer focus. That way the X window gets a proper leave
through the X protocol.
This created a problem though: when giving focus back to the X window it
started to warp the pointer for maximized windows as KWin got pointer
motion events through the X11 event filter for positions on the window
decoration. These are passed into the screen edge filter which pushes
the pointer back and warps our Wayland pointer. To solve this problem
KWin no longer performs any actions for pointer motion in the X11 event
filter if not on X11. The event filter needs to be reworked and most of
it should be moved into the Platform API, if possible.
Test Plan:
Reproduced situations where one could see that pointer updates
don't trigger leave. E.g. going from a highlighted window to the decoration.

This change implements basic support by:
* wrapping them in LibInput::Event
* processing them in LibInput::Connection and emitting

* Forwarding them in InputRedirection to PointerInputRedirection
* Support them in the internal input event filter
* Printing debug information in DebugConsole
Further handling is not yet done. In future the following should be
implemented:
* activating e.g. zoom and present windows on pinch/swipe gesture
* forwarding non global gestures to KWayland
Note that forwarding to KWayland is not yet useful as QtWayland does
not yet have support for the unstable protocol. No Qt application could
make use of it yet. So for the moment just global gestures is the best
we can get.

So far KWin's pointer surface enter handling was:
1. update fouced surface
2. update the global position
On client side this resulted in:
1. Enter with incorrect coordinates
2. move event to correct coordinate
With QtWayland this results in the case of multiple surfaces in one
application that Qt doesn't properly process the enter event and the
Window never getting pointer focus and not reacting on any pointer
input events.
The root problem is that the KWayland server API is not ideal for
supporting this situation. There is an API call for setting the global
position (which causes a pointer motion for the focused surface) and
an API call to update the focused surface. But a combination for both
is (still) missing.
This change addresses the problem by first unsetting the entered surface,
then updating the global position and afterwards setting the new surface.
Thus the position is correct. While this needs to be made better in
KWayland, this is an urgency bug fix to get the behavior correct and thus
first working around the API deficit and not first extending in KWayland.

Summary:
The signals emitted by LibInput::Connection carry the Device for which
the input event was received. This Device is passed to the input handlers.
Custom event classes are added which extend QMouseEvent, QKeyEvent and
QWheelEvent respectively and expose the Device. The Device is only passed
around as a forward declared pointer, so even if compiled without libinput
support, it should still compile.
Event handlers which need to get access to the Device can now just cast
the event pointer to the custom class and access it. This can be used in
future to handle device specific key codes, etc.
As we don't have a proper event classes for touch events the event
handlers do not yet have access to the Device. Here the internal API
needs to be adjusted in future.

Drag'n'Drop on Wayland allows us to improve the drag'n'drop experience.
When entering a window during the drag'n'drop operation, KWin raises it.
BUG: 36065
FIXED-IN: 5.6.0 (Wayland only)
When starting effect mouse interception the current focused window
and or decoration should get a leave event. Similar when the effect mouse
interception ends the current pointer position needs to be evaluated and
a pointer enter be sent if needed.
Updating the focused pointer surface results in the cursor to change.
The CursorImage needs the current focused window to evaluate which cursor
to use, though. Thus we need to make sure that the window reflects the
current state before updating the seat.
The WaylandCursorTheme emits a signal whenever it reloads the theme.
This is used by CursorImage to clear the cache and reload decoration
and fallback cursor.
So far updating the cursor image was not really defined. It was possible
to use the cursor image from the wayland seat or have a custom set cursor
image. But there are no rules in place to decide which one to use when.
With this change a dedicated CursorImage class is introduced which tracks
the cursor image changes on the seat, on the decoration, in the effects
and so on. In addition it tracks which is the current source for the
image, that is whether e.g. the cursor from the seat or from effects
override should be used. Whenever the cursor image changes a signal is
emitted, which is connected to the signal in AbstractBackend.
Based on that the backends can directly show the image. The existing
code in the backends to install a cursor shape or to install the cursor
from the server is completely dropped. For the backend it's irrelevant
from where the image comes from.
A new feature added is that the cursor image is marked as rendered. This
is then passed on to the frame rendered in the Surface and thus animated
cursors are finally working. Unfortunately animated cursors are broken in
Qt (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48181 ).
