admin 3edd822918 Toplevel events name the window, apps hear the pointer hover a surface and where their blurred cards were laid out, and rows can align to the bottom
CI / build + test (push) Canceled after 0s
CI / cargo audit (push) Canceled after 0s
A shell could not tell the windows of an app apart, follow the mouse over one of its overlays, or tell its compositor where the translucent cards of a surface ended up. crustace's floating dock needs all three, to activate and close single windows, to magnify the icons under the pointer and to have forge blur behind its pill and its Quick Settings cards.
`ToplevelEvent::Opened` carries the handle's `identifier`, the compositor's token for that one window, and its `title`, both from `ForeignToplevelInfo`; `toplevel_opened` builds the event for the new and the updated handle. Matches on `Opened { id, app_id }` have to add the fields or `..`.
`App::on_pointer_hover( SurfaceTarget, Option<( x, y )> )` is called on every mouse motion over a surface, in its physical pixels, and with `None` from the pointer's `leave`, which ltk did not handle before. `SurfaceFocus::target` gives the `SurfaceTarget` of a focus.
`Container::blur_behind()` marks a container whose rect and largest corner radius, capped at half its shorter side, the layout pass records in surface coordinates through the `DrawCtx::origin` offset of the sub-canvases, clipped by the viewports it sits in. `commit_draw_ctx` keeps them in `FrameState`, and after a frame where they changed `draw_frame` hands them to `App::on_blur_regions( SurfaceTarget, &[ ( Rect, f32 ) ] )`, for the main surface and each overlay.
`Row::align_bottom()` pins the children to the bottom edge, so taller siblings grow upward. `docs/architecture.md` lists `on_pointer_hover` among the input hooks.
Not done. `on_blur_regions`, `blur_behind` and `align_bottom` are not in the documentation, and there are no tests for them. The regions are reported after the frame is committed, so a compositor that receives them over IPC is one frame behind a surface whose cards move.

admin dcb1c7dff3 A tab strip that scrolls to the selected tab and while a tab is dragged against its edge, and hooks for every mouse button and for the modifiers, for an application that hands the mouse on
CI / build + test (push) Canceled after 0s

A strip with more tabs than fit left the selected one wherever it was, so a tab opened at the end or chosen with the keyboard could stay out of sight, and a tab could only be dragged as far as the visible part reached. A terminal that passes the mouse to the program in it, as xterm does, also needs every click with its modifiers, which ltk kept to itself apart from the middle button, and the modifiers held while the wheel turns, which the wheel does not carry.
Scrolling to the selected tab. `TabRow` now knows the key of the selected tab, and in the layout it asks the `TabMotion` where the scroll of the tabs should go before drawing it; the answer is written into the scroll's own offset, which is keyed by the same index. When the selection changes the strip scrolls just enough to show that tab, through the scroll's `offset_into_view`, and keeps following it while it grows from nothing, so a new tab at the end is shown whole once it has opened. After that the strip is left where the user scrolls it.
Dragging against the edge. While a tab is dragged and its lifted copy touches either edge of the visible part, the strip scrolls 8 widget pixels further that way on each frame (`EDGE_SCROLL`), and every layout places the dragged tab under the pointer again, so it travels with the strip although the pointer holds still and drops among the tabs that come into view.
Pointer coordinates. A scroll and a viewport draw their child on a canvas of their own, so the tabs were laid out in coordinates that no longer matched the pointer once the strip scrolled. `DrawCtx.origin` now holds where the canvas being drawn on sits on the surface, set around the child of every `Scroll` and `Viewport`, and `TabCells` and `TabCards` hand it to the `TabMotion`, which takes it off the pointer in `drag_move`.
The mouse. `App::on_mouse_button( &MouseButtonEvent )` reports every press and release of the left, middle and right buttons, with the position in physical pixels and Ctrl, Shift and Alt, before ltk handles it; `MouseButton` and `MouseButtonEvent` are exported. `App::on_modifiers( ctrl, shift, alt )` is called whenever the modifiers held change. Both do nothing by default.
Tests cover a selected tab scrolled into view once and back, and a tab dragged against the edge scrolling the strip. The documentation of `tab_strip` describes the scrolling.

admin 99b195ea13 The primary selection is kept in step with other applications, an application can paste either selection and hear the middle button, raw keys carry the text dead keys compose, and an application can ask for a cursor where the pointer is
CI / build + test (push) Canceled after 0s
CI / cargo audit (push) Canceled after 0s
A terminal drawn by the application itself needed four things ltk did not give it: the selection the middle button pastes, a way to read the clipboard, the text a key types once dead keys are applied, and a text cursor over its text area that does not hide the window's resize cursors. Text fields gain the primary selection along the way, and the symbol fallback and a missed field in the previous commit are fixed.
The primary selection. `event_loop/primary_selection.rs` binds `zwp_primary_selection_device_manager_v1` when the compositor offers it, creates the device with the data device in `new_seat`, and holds the manager, the device, our source while we own the selection, its text and the inbox the reader threads post to. A selection offered by another client is read on a thread of its own as the clipboard is; a peer asking for ours is served from the cached text, and a cancelled source is dropped. `data_device.rs` gives both the pieces they share: `pick_text_mime`, `read_selection` and `write_selection`, so the clipboard behaves as before.
Text fields. Once a press ends, `sync_text_field` publishes a new selection in the focused text field as the primary selection; password fields never publish theirs. It remembers what it last published rather than comparing with the current primary selection, so a selection made in another application is not taken back. A middle-button press on a text field focuses it, puts the cursor where it landed and inserts the primary selection there.
The application's side. `App::take_primary_request` makes a text the primary selection, as `take_clipboard_request` does for the clipboard. `App::take_paste_request` names a `SelectionKind`, `Clipboard` or `Primary`, and the runtime answers with `App::on_paste` and that selection's text, never with an empty one. `App::on_pointer_middle` reports a middle-button press anywhere but on a text field. All default to doing nothing.
Raw keys. `App::on_raw_key_with_alt` gives way to `App::on_raw_key_event`, which takes a `RawKey` with the keysym, the keycode, the press, Ctrl, Shift and Alt, and `text`: what sctk reports the key types once dead keys and compose sequences are applied, `None` on release, halfway through a sequence and for keys that type nothing. A terminal that took the character from the keysym typed `a` for an acute accent followed by `a`. The default still forwards to `on_raw_key`, and prompt was the only application overriding the old hook. Every key press now also records its serial in `last_input_serial`, so a selection set from a keyboard shortcut carries a serial a strict compositor accepts rather than the last click's.
The cursor. `App::cursor_at( x, y )` is the cursor the application wants at a point of the main surface. It comes after the resize edges and `cursor_override`, and before the cursor of the widget under the pointer, so a terminal shows the text cursor over its cells and the resize cursors still show at the window's edges, which a `cursor_override` would hide.
Fonts. Noto Sans Symbols 2 and Noto Sans Symbols follow DejaVu Sans in the fallback chain, for the media controls, arrows and shapes DejaVu lacks, which drew as the missing glyph.
`TextEdit::map_msg` now carries `pad_h` over: the previous commit added the field but left it out there, and ltk did not build.

admin 96a9e88051 Back as a navigation request: App::on_back, BackAtRoot, NavStack and docs/navigation.md; renew the text-input enable on a press; fit an oversized window_size_hint to the screen
CI / build + test (push) Canceled after 0s
CI / cargo audit (push) Canceled after 0s
Three changes that came out of making the shell's back button work across Eydos the way it does on Android. The first is the feature; the other two are gaps it exposed.
Back is no longer Escape. forge turns its back gesture and button into the `XF86Back` key for the focused client, and ltk treated that key as an alias of `Escape`: close transient UI, else drop the focus and reach `on_key_with_modifiers`. That is "cancel", and it is all an app could get: nothing navigated, and nothing ever left the app. `XF86Back` is now a back request with its own order, one layer per request, top-most first: transient UI the runtime owns (open xdg-popup overlays, the built-in context menu, a text selection, the top-most pressable carrying an `on_escape`, i.e. a dialog's cancel), then text-input focus, then the new `App::on_back`, then `on_key_with_modifiers( XF86_Back )` so an app that bound the key itself keeps receiving it (crustace does, for its launcher), then `App::back_at_root`. The first step is what Escape already did; it moves out of `handle_key_escape` into `AppData::dismiss_transient` in the new `input/keyboard/back.rs`, which both paths call, so Escape behaves exactly as before. Text focus comes before the app on purpose: with a keyboard covering half the screen, back means "put the keyboard away", and navigating instead would discard what the user was typing. A compositor that folds its keyboard itself, as forge now does, only lets the next request through, which makes this step the fallback for the ones that do not.
`App::on_back` returns a `BackResponse`: `Message( msg )` with the message that undoes the top-most piece of navigation state, `Unhandled` at the root, or `Consumed` for a host whose back stack lives elsewhere and cannot be inspected ahead of time. `Consumed` exists for rustdroid: an Android app keeps its activities, fragments and back callbacks in its own code, so the host can only hand the request over. `App::back_at_root` then picks `Minimize` (the default), `Close` (through `on_close_requested`, which can still veto) or `Ignore`. Minimising is what a root activity does on Android since version 12 and what suits an app the user comes back to: a browser keeps its tabs, a call goes on. It is also the single point where the two stacks meet: the navigation stack belongs to the app's model, the task stack to the compositor, and `xdg_toplevel.set_minimized` is the one standard request between them, so no custom protocol carries navigation state out of the process and clients that are not ltk apps keep working. Only `ShellMode::Window` surfaces react at the root; a panel or a lock screen that minimised itself would be a bug.
Three consequences of back being a navigation request rather than input: the key leaves the default `App::key_repeats` set, since a held button would empty the whole stack; it is no longer reported through `App::on_raw_key`, so a host forwarding raw keys into an embedded web view or guest toolkit stops leaking it as a keystroke; and the mouse's back button (`BTN_SIDE` / `BTN_BACK`) enters through the same `handle_back`. `focused_text_input` becomes `pub( crate )` for the new module.
The answer is derived, not recorded, and that is the design decision worth writing down. The runtime keeps no navigation stack of its own. Its entries would have to be messages, which are not serialisable (the trait puts no serde bound on `Message`, by design), so it could not survive a relaunch; and a list of "things to undo" drifts the first time the user leaves a screen some other way, through its own close button or a link, leaving a back press that does nothing visible. An answer computed from the model cannot disagree with it. This is also what ties back to the session persistence added earlier: navigation state is both what `on_back` reads and what `save_state` should persist, and keeping the two the same is what makes back retrace the same places after a session restore or a crash, with nothing extra to serialise. Persist less and a restored app opens on the right screen with nothing behind it; persist more and it restores a menu the user had closed.
`NavStack<R>` packages that rule for the common case, an app made of screens. It is a plain value the app keeps in its model, never seen by the runtime: `push`, `pop`, `replace` (the sideways move back should not retrace), `pop_to_root`, `reset`, `current`, `current_mut`, `iter`, `depth`, `can_pop`, and `back( msg )`, which answers `on_back` directly. It is stored as a root plus the routes above it rather than as a `Vec`, so "never empty" holds by construction, including after deserialising an old or damaged state file, and it derives serde whenever `R` does. Six unit tests cover it, a serde round trip among them, and its rustdoc example is a complete `App` where one object answers `on_back`, `save_state` and `restore_state`.
Documentation, since the point is for app authors to take navigation state into account. The new `docs/navigation.md` is the reference: transient UI versus navigation state and the test that separates them, the back order and the reason for each step, why the answer is derived, how it lines up with session state, `NavStack`, apps that embed a web view (whose page history is navigation state too, to be persisted with ltk-webkit's `session_state`), hosts with a foreign back stack, the root, who owns which stack, and an author's checklist. `architecture.md` gains a group in the trait surface and a paragraph in the state patterns, `onboarding.md` and the README index link to it, and in the cookbook the multi-screen recipe now uses `NavStack` with `on_back` and persists the stack without serde, which keeps it compiled by the Markdown doctest harness (that harness links `ltk` alone, so the serde example in `navigation.md` is marked `ignore` and compiled as `NavStack`'s own doctest instead). `BackResponse`, `BackAtRoot` and `NavStack` are exported at the crate root and in the `ltk::window` facade.
Behaviour change for existing apps, also recorded under Changed: a window app that implements neither `on_back` nor the key is now minimised on back at its root, where nothing happened before; `BackAtRoot::Ignore` restores that. With a text input focused, back only drops the focus and the app sees the next request, where it used to get the key in the same press.
Renew the text-input enable on a press. Moving the focus between two text fields, or pressing the one already focused, only committed the refreshed content type on the existing `zwp_text_input_v3`. `activate_text_input` now sends `enable` first, as GTK does when a focused entry is clicked. A compositor that folded its on-screen keyboard while the field kept the focus, which is what back now does, has no other way to learn that the user wants it again: the text-input never stopped being active, so there was nothing for it to observe. ltk sends neither surrounding text nor a cursor rectangle, so the only state `enable` resets is the content type set right after it.
Fit an oversized `window_size_hint` to the screen. The hint is pinned as `min_size == max_size` before the first commit, when no output is known yet, so an app asking for a phone-shaped 720x1440 window on a 1080p desktop got a toplevel taller than the screen; rustdroid carried a dead branch that tried to avoid this from a screen size nothing could give it. The first configure is the earliest point the hint can be checked, and the protocol has the right input for it: `xdg_toplevel.configure_bounds`, exposed by sctk as `WindowConfigure::suggested_bounds` and ignored until now. The new `event_loop/window_fit.rs` holds `fit_within`, which scales a size down keeping its aspect ratio until it fits and leaves one that fits untouched (four unit tests), and `AppData::fit_size_hint`, run once behind the new `pending_size_hint_fit` latch: it uses the compositor's bounds when sent and otherwise 90 % of the first output's logical size, since panels and decorations are unknown from the client side. When the hint has to shrink, `min_size` (and `max_size` for a non-resizable window) is re-pinned to the fitted size, which is kept in `fitted_size_hint` and replaces the app's hint as the fallback for later configures that carry no size; without that the window would grow back on the next one. On that one configure the fitted size wins over the compositor's `new_size`, which was derived from the oversized pin. `App::window_size_hint` documents the rule with the worked example (720x1440 opens as 486x972 on a 1080p output).
The back order needs a live Wayland connection to exercise and has no test; the unit tests cover `NavStack` and `fit_within`.

admin 78053b8b01 Cover every output from a background shell: the session-lock secondary machinery generalizes to layer surfaces
CI / build + test (push) Has been cancelled
CI / cargo audit (push) Has been cancelled
The runtime already covered outputs beyond the first, but only for `ShellMode::SessionLock`: `locked` created one `ext-session-lock` surface per output, tracked in `lock_extras`, rendered from `App::lock_secondary_view`, excluded from pointer/touch routing and repainted through the shared invalidation path. A background shell had nothing equivalent, so on a multi-monitor session its wallpaper simply did not exist on the extended screens — the compositor had to fake one by cover-scaling the primary's background, wrong scale and wrong crop included.
The machinery is shared rather than duplicated. The state and the hook lose their lock-specific names — `lock_extras` becomes `secondaries`, `main_lock_output` becomes `main_output`, `App::lock_secondary_view` becomes `App::secondary_view` — and everything downstream of creation (the draw loop in frame.rs, invalidation, per-surface scale handling, the input exclusion in pointer/touch, redraw scheduling in run.rs) is the same single copy serving both kinds.
What is genuinely new is the second creation site: in `new_output`, when the app's shell mode is `Layer( Background )`, every output beyond the main surface's gets its own background layer surface — anchored to all four edges with size delegated to the compositor, exclusive zone 0, no keyboard interactivity — bound to that output at creation and torn down in `output_destroyed`. The main surface's output is now recorded when it materializes so the runtime knows which output not to cover.
Layer-shell events learn about secondaries too, and the `configure` branch is not optional: secondaries live outside the focus map, so their configure used to fall into the `None` arm and resize the main surface. `closed` on a secondary now just drops it instead of asking the app to exit.
`secondary_view` keeps its default of `None` (surface filled with `background_color`), so nothing changes for apps that do not opt in; the session-lock behaviour is unchanged aside from the renames.

admin 99a4767815 event_loop: cover every output with a session-lock surface, with the app's backdrop on the secondary ones
CI / build + test (push) Has been cancelled
CI / cargo audit (push) Has been cancelled
ext-session-lock-v1 obliges the compositor to blank any output that has no lock surface, and the runtime only ever created one, on the first output — so on a multi-monitor session the extended screens went black the moment the lock engaged. The lock grant now creates one lock surface per advertised output: the first keeps hosting the app's main surface exactly as before, and each remaining output gets its own surface tracked in `lock_extras`, paired with its `WlOutput` so configure, scale and teardown can be routed per surface.
What those extra surfaces show is up to the app: a new `App::lock_secondary_view( width, height )` returns the content for a secondary output of that physical size, and the default `None` paints the surface with `background_color()`. The draw pass renders them without requesting frame callbacks — their content is static between invalidations, and a callback that is never re-requested would leave `frame_pending` stuck — and invalidations that touch the main surface also mark the extras, so a backdrop that follows main-surface state (wallpaper swaps, theme changes) stays in sync.
The per-surface plumbing that only ever knew about the main surface learns to route: `SessionLockHandler::configure` matches the surface against main and the extras instead of assuming main (an extra's configure used to resize the main surface's target), and the scale-change resize moves into an `apply_surface_scale` helper shared by main, overlays and the lock extras, so a HiDPI secondary gets a correctly scaled buffer instead of staying at factor 1. `new_output` creates a lock surface for an output hotplugged while locked — the compositor would blank it otherwise — and `output_destroyed` drops the matching extra.
Input on the extras is deliberately inert, with one asymmetry: pointer and touch events landing on them are discarded rather than falling back to `Main`, because their coordinates would hit-test the main surface's widgets and a click on a secondary screen could press whatever sits at those coordinates on the form — the power button included. Keyboard keeps its existing fall-through to `Main`, so typing works wherever the compositor decides to put the lock focus.

admin 4aa3480b64 refactor: split every monolithic module into focused submodules
Each source file that had grown beyond a single concern is replaced by an identically-named directory containing focused submodules. `src/event_loop/mod.rs` (878 lines) becomes a directory with clipboard, context_menu, cursor_shape, drag, focus, handlers, invalidation, overlays_reconcile, repeat, run, surface, text_editing, and tooltip. Every widget, input handler, and theme component follows the same split. Public interfaces are unchanged — only the internal file layout moves.
image bumped from 0.25.2 to 0.25.9.
