When selecting text in the dictionary (including Wikipedia) or the pop-up footnotes highlight the selected text using an inverting rectangle. After closing the opened dictionary remove the highlight after a short delay just like in the reader.
Depends on koreader/koreader-base#2013
Allow for embedding "tags" (invalid Unicode codepoints)
in the text string to trigger some text formatting:
for now only bolding some parts of text is possible.
Use it with fulltext search "all results" to highlight the
matched word (instead of the previously used brackets).
Instead of opening the same font multiple times for each different
size (multiple face instances), share one face instance and create
multiple size instances.
As done in DictQuickLookup (more event handlers are
needed to cohabitate well with MovableContainer).
By default, selected word or text is copied to clipboard.
Also provide indexes to any long-press callback, as we'll
need them for View HTML.
Get rid of the doc & seqtext fields, as they are not actually used (nor
are they particularly useful, the event handler's name should be pretty
self-explanatory).
Also, tweak the key_events documentation to highlight the quirks of the
API, especially as far as array nesting is involved...
Random drive-by cleanup of the declarations of key_events & ges_events
to re-use the existing instance object (now that we know they're sane
;p) for tables with a single member (less GC pressure).
Basically:
* Use `extend` for class definitions
* Use `new` for object instantiations
That includes some minor code cleanups along the way:
* Updated `Widget`'s docs to make the semantics clearer.
* Removed `should_restrict_JIT` (it's been dead code since https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/283)
* Minor refactoring of LuaSettings/LuaData/LuaDefaults/DocSettings to behave (mostly, they are instantiated via `open` instead of `new`) like everything else and handle inheritance properly (i.e., DocSettings is now a proper LuaSettings subclass).
* Default to `WidgetContainer` instead of `InputContainer` for stuff that doesn't actually setup key/gesture events.
* Ditto for explicit `*Listener` only classes, make sure they're based on `EventListener` instead of something uselessly fancier.
* Unless absolutely necessary, do not store references in class objects, ever; only values. Instead, always store references in instances, to avoid both sneaky inheritance issues, and sneaky GC pinning of stale references.
* ReaderUI: Fix one such issue with its `active_widgets` array, with critical implications, as it essentially pinned *all* of ReaderUI's modules, including their reference to the `Document` instance (i.e., that was a big-ass leak).
* Terminal: Make sure the shell is killed on plugin teardown.
* InputText: Fix Home/End/Del physical keys to behave sensibly.
* InputContainer/WidgetContainer: If necessary, compute self.dimen at paintTo time (previously, only InputContainers did, which might have had something to do with random widgets unconcerned about input using it as a baseclass instead of WidgetContainer...).
* OverlapGroup: Compute self.dimen at *init* time, because for some reason it needs to do that, but do it directly in OverlapGroup instead of going through a weird WidgetContainer method that it was the sole user of.
* ReaderCropping: Under no circumstances should a Document instance member (here, self.bbox) risk being `nil`ed!
* Kobo: Minor code cleanups.
* This removes support for the following deprecated constants: `DTAP_ZONE_FLIPPING`, `DTAP_ZONE_BOOKMARK`, `DCREREADER_CONFIG_DEFAULT_FONT_GAMMA`
* The "Advanced settings" panel now highlights modified values in bold (think about:config in Firefox ;)).
* LuaData: Isolate global table lookup shenanigans, and fix a few issues in unused-in-prod codepaths.
* CodeStyle: Require module locals for Lua/C modules, too.
* ScreenSaver: Actually garbage collect our widget on close (ScreenSaver itself is not an instantiated object).
* DateTimeWidget: Code cleanups to ensure child widgets can be GC'ed.
* Rejig frontlight warmth API to more closely match the existing API, and, hopefully, clarify some of its quirks, and reduce boilerplate and duplicate code in platform implementations.
* Tweak Kindle:setDateTime to prefer using the platform's custom script, as in interacts better with the stock UI. And make the fallbacks handle old busybox versions better.
* Add Kindle PW5 support ;).
* Add warmth support to the Kindle platform.
* Random TextBoxWidget cleanups: make sure we immediately free destroyed instances.
* FrontLightWidget: Refactor to make it slightly less obnoxious to grok and update; i.e., separate layout from update, and properly separate brightness from warmth handling. Move to simpler widgets instead of reinventing the wheel.
* TextBoxWidgets: Implement `setText` to match TextWidget's API, as some callers may be using the two interchangeably (i.e., Button).
* NaturalLightWidget: Make sure we pass a string to InputText
* InputText: Add debug guards to catch bad callers not passing strings ;).
- New button Go to bookmark in Bookmark details dialog.
- New button Latest bookmark in the popup menu.
- Empty input box for new note, new button Paste to
paste highlighted text (auto-text).
- Allow duplicated bookmarks to avoid orphaned highlights.
- TextBoxWidget: fix enabled up-arrow on empty box in InputDialog.
Fix very-long-press in DictQuickLookup that should allow
doing the query to the other domain (dict/wiki) instead
of the current one.
Similar to 7dea979.
* Make sure we have a BB to measure in getSize, in case the instance is
recycled. (fix#8241)
* nil `line_num_to_image` early in `:free`
* Hide the _renderText calls that are used across the whole module to
simply update the text layout & instantiate the inner bb behind a
wrapper function with a slightly less obscure name.
If the button text would be truncated, try to avoid
it by reducing the font size, and even switching to
a 2-lines TextBoxWidget.
TextBoxWidget: fix possible glyphs truncations when
a small line_height is used. Also avoid some bad
result from getFontSizeToFitHeight(), possible due
to some rounding errors.
* ReaderDictionary: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderHighlight: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderView: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Android: Reset gesture detection state on APP_CMD_TERM_WINDOW.
This prevents potentially being stuck in bogus gesture states when switching apps.
* GestureDetector:
* Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Fixed delay computations to handle time warps (large and negative deltas).
* Simplified timed callback handling to invalidate timers much earlier, preventing accumulating useless timers that no longer have any chance of ever detecting a gesture.
* Fixed state clearing to handle the actual effective slots, instead of hard-coding slot 0 & slot 1.
* Simplified timed callback handling in general, and added support for a timerfd backend for better performance and accuracy.
* The improved timed callback handling allows us to detect and honor (as much as possible) the three possible clock sources usable by Linux evdev events.
The only case where synthetic timestamps are used (and that only to handle timed callbacks) is limited to non-timerfd platforms where input events use
a clock source that is *NOT* MONOTONIC.
AFAICT, that's pretty much... PocketBook, and that's it?
* Input:
* Use the <linux/input.h> FFI module instead of re-declaring every constant
* Fixed (verbose) debug logging of input events to actually translate said constants properly.
* Completely reset gesture detection state on suspend. This should prevent bogus gesture detection on resume.
* Refactored the waitEvent loop to make it easier to comprehend (hopefully) and much more efficient.
Of specific note, it no longer does a crazy select spam every 100µs, instead computing and relying on sane timeouts,
as afforded by switching the UI event/input loop to the MONOTONIC time base, and the refactored timed callbacks in GestureDetector.
* reMarkable: Stopped enforcing synthetic timestamps on input events, as it should no longer be necessary.
* TimeVal:
* Refactored and simplified, especially as far as metamethods are concerned (based on <bsd/sys/time.h>).
* Added a host of new methods to query the various POSIX clock sources, and made :now default to MONOTONIC.
* Removed the debug guard in __sub, as time going backwards can be a perfectly normal occurrence.
* New methods:
* Clock sources: :realtime, :monotonic, :monotonic_coarse, :realtime_coarse, :boottime
* Utility: :tonumber, :tousecs, :tomsecs, :fromnumber, :isPositive, :isZero
* UIManager:
* Ported event loop & scheduling to TimeVal, and switched to the MONOTONIC time base.
This ensures reliable and consistent scheduling, as time is ensured never to go backwards.
* Added a :getTime() method, that returns a cached TimeVal:now(), updated at the top of every UI frame.
It's used throughout the codebase to cadge a syscall in circumstances where we are guaranteed that a syscall would return a mostly identical value,
because very few time has passed.
The only code left that does live syscalls does it because it's actually necessary for accuracy,
and the only code left that does that in a REALTIME time base is code that *actually* deals with calendar time (e.g., Statistics).
* DictQuickLookup: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* FootNoteWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* HTMLBoxWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Notification: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* TextBoxWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* AutoSuspend: Port to TimeVal
* AutoTurn:
* Fix it so that settings are actually honored.
* Port to TimeVal
* BackgroundRunner: Port to TimeVal
* Calibre: Port benchmarking code to TimeVal
* BookInfoManager: Removed unnecessary yield in the metadata extraction subprocess now that subprocesses get scheduled properly.
* All in all, these changes reduced the CPU cost of a single tap by a factor of ten (!), and got rid of an insane amount of weird poll/wakeup cycles that must have been hell on CPU schedulers and batteries..
* Simplify flash_ui handling (by handling the unhighlight pre-callback, c.f., #7262 for more details).
* UIManager: Handle translucent window-level widgets (and those wrapped in a translucent MovableContainer) properly in setDirty directly, making sure what's *underneath* them gets repainted to avoid alpha layering glitches. (This was previously handled via localized hacks).
* Update UIManager's documentation, and format it properly for ldoc parsing, making the HTML docs more useful.
* ReaderView: Reinitialize the various page areas when opening a new document, to prevent poisoning from the previous document.
* Event: Handle nils in an event's arguments.
* CheckButton/RadioButton: Switch to simple inversion to handle highlighting
* CheckButton: Make the highlight span the inner frame's width, instead of just the text's width, if possible.
* AlphaContainer: Fix & simplify, given the UIManager alpha handling.
* MovableContainer: When translucent, cache the canvas bb used for composition.
* Avoid spurious refreshes in a few widgets using various dummy *TextWidgets in order to first compute a text height.
* KeyValuePage: Avoid floats in size computations.
* QuickDictLookup, ImageViewer, NumberPicker: Smarter `update` that will re-use most of the widget's layout instead of re-instantiating all the things.
* SpinWidget/DoubleSpinWidget: The NumberPicker change above renders a hack to preserve alpha on these widgets almost unnecessary. Also fixed said hack to also apply to the center, value button.
* Button: Don't re-instantiate the frame in setText/setIcon when unnecessary (e.g., no change at all, or no layout change).
* Button: Add a refresh method that repaints and refreshes a *specific* Button (provided it's been painted once) all on its lonesome.
* ConfigDialog: Free everything that's going to be re-instatiated on update
* A few more post #7118 fixes:
* SkimTo: Always flag the chapter nav buttons as vsync
* Button: Fix the highlight on rounded buttons when vsync is enabled (e.g., it's now entirely visible, instead of showing a weird inverted corner glitch).
* Some more heuristic tweaks in Menu/TouchMenu/Button/IconButton
* ButtonTable: fix the annoying rounding issue I'd noticed in #7054 ;).
* Enable dithering in TextBoxWidget (e.g., in the Wikipedia full view). This involved moving the HW dithering align fixup to base, where it always ought to have been ;).
* Switch a few widgets that were using "partial" on close to "ui", or, more rarely, "flashui". The intent being to limit "partial" purely to the Reader, because it has a latency cost when mixed with other refreshes, which happens often enough in UI ;).
* Minor documentation tweaks around UIManager's `setDirty` to reflect that change.
* ReaderFooter: Force a footer repaint on resume if it is visible (otherwise, just update it).
* ReaderBookmark: In the same vein, don't repaint an invisible footer on bookmark count changes.
* Fix HW dithered partial refreshes sometimes behaving as if the refreshed
content had moved a few pixels to the side...
Probably a kernel issue with the alignment fixup in the EPDC?
* Get rid of the legacy coordinates fixup
It shouldn't be necessary anymore.
And I'd rather fix the root cause, anyway.
* Bump base
(https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1116)
* Missed a few DIVs in #6224
Don't display a tofu glyph when meeting a tab (none of
our fonts have a glyph for it).
New parameter: TextBoxWidget.tabstop_nb_space_width,
that defaults to 8, to ensure tabstops in the usual
left aligmnent (or right when para is RTL).
Ellipsis was sometimes not displayed when text is right aligned,
because width was not updated with ellipsis size.
bump base/xtext: fix truncation ellipsis position in bidi text
so it stays nearer to previous logical order char, instead of
sometimes being thrown away to start or end of line.
- bump crengine: (Upstream) DocX: fix paragraphs with single hyperlink
- bump fribidi to 1.0.8 (for nested isolates fix)
- xtext.makeLine(): return no_allowed_break_met=true when that
happens, so we know the line breaks inside a word.
TextBoxWidget: add forgotten property (when use_xtext=true) when no
line break opportunity was found: has_split_inside_word=true.
(Only used by CoverBrowser Mosaic mode to make nicer text covers
by reducing font size when that happens.)
A few fixes and enhancement related to bold text:
- When using bold=true with a regular font, use its bold
variant if one exists (can be prevented by manually
adding a setting: "use_bold_font_for_bold" = false).
- When using a bold font without bold=true, promote bold
to true, so fallback fonts are drawn bold too.
- Whether using a bold font, or using bold=true, ensure
fallback fonts are drawn bold, with their available bold
variant if one exists, or with synthetized bold.
- When using a bold variant of a fallback font, keep using
the regular variant as another fallback (as bold fonts
may contain less glyphs than their regular counterpart).
- Allow providing bold=Font.FORCE_SYNTHETIZED_BOLD to
get synth bold even when a bold font exists (might be
interesting to get text in bold the same width as the
same text non-bold).
- Use the font realname in the key when caching glyphs,
instead of our aliases (cfont, infont...) to avoid
duplication and wasting memory.
- height_adjust: if true, reduce height to a multiple of
line_height (for nicer centering)
- height_overflow_show_ellipsis: if height overflow, append
ellipsis to last shown line
(Implemented in both use_xtext and legacy code path.)
Use them in Menu.lua to clean up/shorten the code used for multiline
menu items by delegating the work to TextBoxWidget, or using
TextWidget when we end up needing only a single line.
Alternative code to size, split lines and draw text with
the help of the xtext Lua C module.
Enabled by default (can be disabled via an added menu
item in "Developer options").
New properties can be specified by calling widgets, only
used when xtext is used:
- lang: use specified language instead of the UI language
- para_direction_rtl: true/false to override the default
direction for the UI language
- auto_para_direction: detect direction of each paragraph
in text
- alignment_strict: prevent the inversion of the specified
alignment= that is done when a paragraph direction is
set or detected as RTL.
Also: fix possible memory leak (present even when not using xtext)
by calling :free() in onCloseWidget() like it's done in ImageWidget.
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
