Michael Weiser 471b873de3 keyboard-shortcuts-inhibit: Implement the protocol 
The keyboard shortcuts inhibitor protocol is useful for remote desktop
and virtualization software in order to request all keyboard events to
be passed to it and (almost) none being resonded to by the compositor.
This allows the session at the other end of the remote desktop
connection or inside the virtual machine to be interacted with as usual
(e.g. Alt+Tab to switch windows on the remote system instead of
locally).

Add the wayland protocol to the meson build files.

Copy'n'search'n'replace the very similar idle inhibit protocol
implementation. This already provides all the basic functionality:
- creating and destroying inhibitors upon request by a client,
- destruction in reaction to destruction of surfaces or displays,
- a list of inhibitors to search through for existing ones as well as
- a signal to be sent to the compositor upon registration of a new
  inhibitor.

Beyond that we add the active and inactive events to be sent to the
client and wire those to activate and deactivate functions for the
compositor to call in confirmation of activation of a new inhibitor or
(un-)suspending of an existing inhibitor e.g. in response to a special
key combination entered by the user as suggested by the protocol.

As mandated by the protocol, we check the existance of an inhibitor for
a given surface and seat upon creation and return the error provided by
the protocol for that purpose.

wlroots

Pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor; or about 50,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway.

  • wlroots provides backends that abstract the underlying display and input hardware, including KMS/DRM, libinput, Wayland, X11, and headless backends, plus any custom backends you choose to write, which can all be created or destroyed at runtime and used in concert with each other.
  • wlroots provides unopinionated, mostly standalone implementations of many Wayland interfaces, both from wayland.xml and various protocol extensions. We also promote the standardization of portable extensions across many compositors.
  • wlroots provides several powerful, standalone, and optional tools that implement components common to many compositors, such as the arrangement of outputs in physical space.
  • wlroots provides an Xwayland abstraction that allows you to have excellent Xwayland support without worrying about writing your own X11 window manager on top of writing your compositor.
  • wlroots provides a renderer abstraction that simple compositors can use to avoid writing GL code directly, but which steps out of the way when your needs demand custom rendering code.

wlroots implements a huge variety of Wayland compositor features and implements them right, so you can focus on the features that make your compositor unique. By using wlroots, you get high performance, excellent hardware compatibility, broad support for many wayland interfaces, and comfortable development tools - or any subset of these features you like, because all of them work independently of one another and freely compose with anything you want to implement yourself.

Check out our wiki to get started with wlroots.

wlroots is developed under the direction of the sway project. A variety of wrapper libraries are available for using it with your favorite programming language.

Building

Install dependencies:

  • meson
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols
  • EGL
  • GLESv2
  • libdrm
  • GBM
  • libinput
  • xkbcommon
  • udev
  • pixman
  • systemd (optional, for logind support)
  • elogind (optional, for logind support on systems without systemd)
  • libcap (optional, for capability support)

If you choose to enable X11 support:

  • xcb
  • xcb-composite
  • xcb-xfixes
  • xcb-xinput
  • xcb-image
  • xcb-render
  • x11-xcb
  • xcb-errors (optional, for improved error reporting)
  • x11-icccm (optional, for improved Xwayland introspection)

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build

Install like so:

sudo ninja -C build install
