This input event handling change is intended to address the following
design issues:
- Having `DOM::Position` is unnecessary complexity when `Selection`
exists because caret position could be described by the selection
object with a collapsed state. Before this change, we had to
synchronize those whenever one of them was modified, and there were
already bugs caused by that, i.e., caret position was not changed when
selection offset was modified from the JS side.
- Selection API exposes selection offset within `<textarea>` and
`<input>`, which is not supposed to happen. These objects should
manage their selection state by themselves and have selection offset
even when they are not displayed.
- `EventHandler` looks only at `DOM::Text` owned by `DOM::Position`
while doing text manipulations. It works fine for `<input>` and
`<textarea>`, but `contenteditable` needs to consider all text
descendant text nodes; i.e., if the cursor is moved outside of
`DOM::Text`, we need to look for an adjacent text node to move the
cursor there.
With this change, `EventHandler` no longer does direct manipulations on
caret position or text content, but instead delegates them to the active
`InputEventsTarget`, which could be either
`FormAssociatedTextControlElement` (for `<input>` and `<textarea>`) or
`EditingHostManager` (for `contenteditable`). The `Selection` object is
used to manage both selection and caret position for `contenteditable`,
and text control elements manage their own selection state that is not
exposed by Selection API.
This change improves text editing on Discord, as now we don't have to
refocus the `contenteditable` element after character input. The problem
was that selection manipulations from the JS side were not propagated
to `DOM::Position`.
I expect this change to make future correctness improvements for
`contenteditable` (and `designMode`) easier, as now it's decoupled from
`<input>` and `<textarea>` and separated from `EventHandler`, which is
quite a busy file.
LibLocale was split off from LibUnicode a couple years ago to reduce the
number of applications on SerenityOS that depend on CLDR data. Now that
we use ICU, both LibUnicode and LibLocale are actually linking in this
data. And since vcpkg gives us static libraries, both libraries are over
30MB in size.
This patch reverts the separation and merges LibLocale into LibUnicode
again. We now have just one library that includes the ICU data.
Further, this will let LibUnicode share the locale cache that previously
would only exist in LibLocale.
With this change, we now have ~1200 CellAllocators across both LibJS and
LibWeb in a normal WebContent instance.
This gives us a minimum heap size of 4.7 MiB in the scenario where we
only have one cell allocated per type. Of course, in practice there will
be many more of each type, so the effective overhead is quite a bit
smaller than that in practice.
I left a few types unconverted to this mechanism because I got tired of
doing this. :^)
The existing implementation has some pre-existing issues where it is
incorrectly assumes that byte offsets are given through the IDL instead
of UTF-16 code units. While making these changes, leave some FIXMEs for
that.
Currently, if you use the left/right arrow keys to move over a multi-
code point glyph, we will move through that glyph one code point at a
time. This means you can "pause" your movement in the middle of a glyph
and delete a subsection of a grapheme cluster. This now moves the cursor
across the entire cluster.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
This introduces methods to increment and decrement the cursor position.
This is non-trivial as the cursor position is specified in bytes rather
than codepoints. Thus, it sometimes needs to be incremented or
decremented by more than one, depending on the codepoint to "jump over".
Because the cursor blink cycle needs to be reset after moving the
cursor, methods calling the ones in DOM::Position are implemented in
Frame. Furthermore, this allows the cursor_position() getter to stay
const. :^)
Additionally, it adds a offset_is_at_end_of_node() method which checks
if the current offset points to the end of the node.
