--this patch supports activation through shortcuts
--Meta+number, activates the relevant task, for
groups by default it activates the next available
window in the group
--Meta+Ctrl+number, create a new instance for that task
or launcher
--the user should know that must first enable these
shortcuts at plasma global shortcuts configuration
window
--if the user was adding docks too fast then
some of them were added at the bottom because
that was conflicting with the session
implementation. The fix fixes the situation
and preserves the alternative session functionality
--first all the code concerning exposeAltSession
is moved in it and in the future also the autostart
and currentSession can follow. This will improve
both dockview and configview
--this needs from the user side to add
in the .config/kwinrc

--the user is able to change into another
session/profile called "On The Road" for
which can set up its docks and applets
differently according to its needs. For
example hide its name, status, place
living etc.
--in order for a dock to be above KeepAbove
windows must contain flag BypassWindowManagerHint.
Unfortunately this flag breaks the experience with
AlwaysVisible state especially the struts and
snapping behavior. This patch recreates a
dockView when a mode is changed and an
update for the flags is needed.
--at the same time move the localGeometry to
dockView in order to trigger properly the
updateAbsGeometry when it is needed, on
window's geometry changes not only when there
is local geometry change
--when a dock is created through corona, the
addDock function reads the mode which is going
to be used and specifys this way the flags that
have to be set during docks creation
--this is especial useful for plasma themes with big
transparency. Latte can not support blur and background
contrast kwin effects for panel backgrounds that are drawn
inside its qml side.
--this commit uses free region from corona instead
of free rectangle in order to calculate size and
positioning for the docks. This way is possible to
be positioned more intelligently.
--refer to last 6-7 commits that contain this new
multi-screen behavior
--the new multi-screen behavior becomes more intelligent.
Latte trys to never let you without a dock containing
tasks plasmoid. It trys to do that intelligently not
depending on how many docks you have registered and if
they are set to explicit or primary ones
--primary docks are removed when their edge is
occupied in the new primary screen and their
current screen is destroyed. Also they are added
when the screen edge is available
--the last dock containing tasks can not be removed
automatic by Latte based on screens heuristics
--on startup Latte checks if a dock containing tasks
will be loaded based on screens associated. If it
doesnt it loads the first dock containing tasks and
puts it on primary screen and setting also its flag
to onPrimary
--on the configuration window when a dock changes from
explicit to primary screen by latte automation the
record of the previous screen is shown correctly
--unfortunately this contains also white spaces
fixes. Sorry for this but by implementing multi-screen
the laptop wasnt correctly configured for
astyle and whitespaces
--there are cases that screens instead of returning
correct screen names the return names like
"0:0". These are totally ignored in order to not
break the screen ids database
--in a multi-screen environment that
primary screen is not set to 0 it was
created an endless showing loop at
startup (catch-up race) between
screen:0 and primaryScreen
--the user is able to set some additional
debug flags in --debug state by just executing
the application.
supported flags:
--with-window: provides a separate window
to show metrics from each separate dock
--graphics: visual indicator for the various
elements
--mask: additional debug messages concerning
mask calculations
--add m_waitingDockViews which are waiting
for removal confirmation. Using destroyedChanged
signal from containments in order to support
the behavior
--improve freeEdges code based on
the docksCount implementation
--corona should load its layout after the activities
consumer is ready. Otherwise all the functionality
concerning activities may not work correctly on its
first initialization
--expose quit action
--hide remove action when only one dock exists
--udpate edges when a new dock is added
--connect the destroyed event of containment in order
to remove also the dockview
--remove correctly the dockviews in the application
