The "script-binding" command is used by the Lua scripting wrapper to
register key bindings on the fly. It's also the only way to get fine-
grained information about key events (such as separate key up/down
events). This information is sent via a "key-binding" message when the
state of a key changes.
Extend it to send name of the mapped key itself. Previously, it was
assumed that the user just uses an unique identifier for the binding's
name, so it wasn't needed. With this change, a user can map exactly the
same command to multiple keys, which is useful especially with the next
commit.
Part of #2612.
The value 0 was treated specially, and effectively forced the increment
to 1. Interestingly, passing 0 or no value also does not include the
scale (from touchpads etc.), but this is probably an accidental behavior
that was never intentionally added.
Simplify it and make the default increment 1. 0 now means what it
should: the value will not be changed. This is not particularly useful,
but on the other hand there is no need for surprising and unintuitive
semantics.
OARG_CYCLEDIR() failed to apply the default value, because
m_option_type_cycle_dir was missing a copy handler - add this too.
Wnile it seems quite logical to me that commands use _ as word
separator, while properties use -, I can't really explain the
difference, and it tends to confuse users as well. So always
prefer - as separator for everything.
Using _ still works, and will probably forever. Not doing so would
probably create too much chaos and confusion.
The fact that it's a generic command prefix that is parsed even when
using the client API is a bit unclean (because this flag makes sense
for actual key-bindings only), but it's less code this way.
To handle legacy commands, string replacement is used; the modified
string is returned by parse_cmd_str(), but it also frees all temporary
memory, which includes the replaced string.
Closes#1075.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
These are now equivalent to combining commands with the "cycle pause" or
"set pause" commands, and thus are not needed anymore. They were also
obscure and undocumented.
This was broken by commit bb6b543812. Note that the original pull
request was fine, but it was broken by my own stupidity when I was
"improving" it.
The problem is that the new loadfile argument was not considered
optional anymore after my changes. The original pull request did handle
this by setting .defval to a dummy value, but I removed that part.
Fix it again by introducing a flag that designates that the parameter is
optional. (I didn't want to add it to m_option.h, because technically,
all options are optional, and it's not possible to have non-optional
options.)
Until now, strings were the only allowed dynamically allocated argument
type in input commands. Extend it so that it works for any type. (The
string expansion in command.c is of course still string specific.)
This code is shared between input.conf parser and option parser. Until
now, the performance didn't really matter. But I want to use this code
for JSON parsing too, and since JSON will have to be parsed a lot, it
should probably try to avoid realloc'ing too much.
This commit moves parsing of C-style escaped strings into a common
function, and allows using it in a way realloc can be completely
avoided, if the already allocated buffer is large enough.
