the Apple Remote has long been deprecated and abandoned by Apple.
current macs don't come with support for it anymore. support might be
re-added with the next commit.
Should be without consequences. I think this is less trouble, because
code frequently wants to add/remove bits for modifiers and key state
from key codes, and with this change you can't accidentally break it by
testing or removing bits from the old -1 value.
The intended target for this is the mpv.repl script, which manually
added every single ASCII key as a separate key binding. This provides a
simpler mechanism, that will catch any kind of text input.
Due to its special nature, explicitly do not give a guarantee for
compatibility; thus the warning in input.rst.
The code is very basic:
- only handles gamepads, could be extended for generic joysticks in the
future.
- only has button mappings for controllers natively supported by SDL2.
I heard more can be added through env vars, there's also ways to load
mappings from text files, but I'd rather not go there yet. Common ones
like Dualshock are supported natively.
- analog buttons (TRIGGER and AXIS) are mapped to discrete buttons using an
activation threshold.
- only supports one gamepad at a time. the feature is intented to use
gamepads as evolved remote controls, not play multiplayer games in mpv :)
Mouse wheel bindings have always been a cause of user confusion.
Previously, on Wayland and macOS, precise touchpads would generate AXIS
keycodes and notched mouse wheels would generate mouse button keycodes.
On Windows, both types of device would generate AXIS keycodes and on
X11, both types of device would generate mouse button keycodes. This
made it pretty difficult for users to modify their mouse-wheel bindings,
since it differed between platforms and in some cases, between devices.
To make it more confusing, the keycodes used on Windows were changed in
18a45a42d5 without a deprecation period or adequate communication to
users.
This change aims to make mouse wheel binds less confusing. Both the
mouse button and AXIS keycodes are now deprecated aliases of the new
WHEEL keycodes. This will technically break input configs on Wayland and
macOS that assign different commands to precise and non-precise scroll
events, but this is probably uncommon (if anyone does it at all) and I
think it's a fair tradeoff for finally fixing mouse wheel-related
confusion on other platforms.
mpv's mouse button numbering is based on X11 button numbering, which
allows for an arbitrary number of buttons and includes mouse wheel input
as buttons 3-6. This button numbering was used throughout the codebase
and exposed in input.conf, and it was difficult to remember which
physical button each number actually referred to and which referred to
the scroll wheel.
In practice, PC mice only have between two and five buttons and one or
two scroll wheel axes, which are more or less in the same location and
have more or less the same function. This allows us to use names to
refer to the buttons instead of numbers, which makes input.conf syntax a
lot easier to remember. It also makes the syntax robust to changes in
mpv's underlying numbering. The old MOUSE_BTNx names are still
understood as deprecated aliases of the named buttons.
This changes both the input.conf syntax and the MP_MOUSE_BTNx symbols in
the codebase, since I think both would benefit from using names over
numbers, especially since some platforms don't use X11 button numbering
and handle different mouse buttons in different windowing system events.
This also makes the names shorter, since otherwise they would be pretty
long, and it removes the high-numbered MOUSE_BTNx_DBL names, since they
weren't used.
Names are the same as used in Qt:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#MouseButton-enum
This was attempted before in fc9695e63b, but it was reverted in
1b7ce759b1 because it caused conflicts with other software watching
the same keys (See #2041.) It seems like some PCs ship with OEM software
that watches the volume keys without consuming key events and this
causes them to be handled twice, once by mpv and once by the other
software.
In order to prevent conflicts like this, use the WM_APPCOMMAND message
to handle media keys. Returning TRUE from the WM_APPCOMMAND handler
should indicate to the operating system that we consumed the key event
and it should not be propogated to the shell. Also, we now only listen
for keys that are directly related to multimedia playback (eg. the
APPCOMMAND_MEDIA_* keys.) Keys like APPCOMMAND_VOLUME_* are ignored, so
they can be handled by the shell, or by other mixer software.
Why did this exist in the first place? Other than being completely
useless, this even caused some regressions in the past. For example,
there was the case of a laptop exposing its accelerometer as joystick
device, which led to extremely fun things due to the default mappings of
axis movement being mapped to seeking.
I suppose those who really want to use their joystick to control a media
player (???) can configure it as mouse device or so.
Add MP_KEY_MOUSE_ENTER to the ignored input if the user has disabled
mouse input. Remove one instance of code duplication, and add a
MP_KEY_IS_MOUSE_MOVE macro to summarize events that are caused by moving
the mouse.
Makes all keys documented in XF86keysym.h mappable. This requires the
user to deal with numeric keycodes; no names are queried or exported.
This is an easy way to avoid adding all the hundreds of XF86 keys to
our X11 lookup table and mpv's keycode/name list.
"Shift+X" didn't actually map any key, as opposed to "Shift+x". This is
because shift usually changes the case of a character, so a plain
printable character like "X" simply can never be combined with shift.
But this is not very intuitive. Always remove the shift code from
printable characters. Also, for ASCII, actually apply the case mapping
to uppercase characters if combined with shift. Doing this for unicode
in general would be nice, but that would require lookup tables. In
general, we don't know anyway what character a key produces when
combined with shift - it could be anything, and depends on the keyboard
layout.
Apparently this switch means all mouse input should be strictly
rejected. Some VO backends (such as X11) explicitly disable all mouse
events if this option is set, but others don't. So check them in
input.c, which increases consistency.
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
Support for this is rather simple, and some combinations of modifiers
and keys don't work. For example, Ctrl+Alt+character is not supported,
because Windows doesn't emit a WM_CHAR in this case.
Also add support for the pause and print screen keys. Remove the
pointless KEY_CTRL translation. Remove KEY_CTRL altogether, because it
was not clear what it was actually supposed to mean.
This moves all key codes above the highest valid unicode code point (which
is 0x10FFFF). All key codes below MP_KEY_BASE now directly map to unicode.
Configuration files (input.conf) can contain unicode characters in UTF-8
to map non-ASCII characters/keys.
This shouldn't change anything user visible, except that "direct key codes"
(as used in input.conf) will change their meaning.
Increase the number of supported mouse buttons from 10 to 20. There
really seem to be input devices with at least 12.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@33391 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2
Move the definitions of all special key codes (those not passed by
ASCII value) to input/keycodes.h. Before they were spread between
osdep/keycodes.h, input/joystick.h, input/mouse.h and input/ar.h, plus
some special values in input.h. This was especially inconvenient as
the codes had to be coordinated to not conflict between the files.
The change requires a bit of ugliness as appleir.c includes
<linux/input.h> which contains various conflicting KEY_* definitions.
Work around this by adding a special preprocessor variable which can
be used to avoid defining these in keycodes.h.
