Some groundwork for #gestures in #phoc paved the way to fix touch and tablet output mapping so you can e.g. use your nexdock's touch screen as well with #phosh. I also made single output mode a bit more useful/robust. MRs are posted:

@joao The demo shows what works somewhat. Need to fix the parts that don't work yet 🔧 🔨 👩‍🔧 👨‍🔧 first

...and here's the same thing using #phosh. Needs more work and polishing but just to give an idea. It works pretty well with thumb only too but that's hard to record.

@Alexmitter Imagine you want a swipe up with two fingers to close the application or a 3 finger horizontal swipe to switch to the next application: there's not GTK surface in these cases at all. Same goes e.g. for the case when you drag in a totally invisible surface (like in fullscreen). The fact that we have a tiny bit of top-bar / home button to pull in from is basically an implementation detail.

@be It's likely that the #phosh's top-bar becomes swipeable first though since the #phosh side needs more work in the app-grid to make this pleasant to use. The #phoc side doesn't care though.

In the matching phosh I have swiping enabled for both but the vertical scrolling in #phosh needs to become horizontal scrolling for that to be usable.

@be that's the same concept, just turn the video upside down.

@carlosgonz@mastodon.social I don't think we need that but let's rather discuss in a bug. The fediverse isn't a bug tracker.

I should add that the client tells the compositor which surfaces are dragable and how so it's not hardcoded in #phoc. E.g. #phosh would mark the top panel and bottom bar dragable.

Instead of #phosh I'm using a test client to hack on #phoc's gesture support. The red bar basically maps to phosh's top-panel. Red meaning `folded`, green `moving` and blue `unfolded`. The first prereqs for this are already merged and I hope to submit more over the next weeks. Animations need more work as does cancelation, etc but it's moving forward. The way it's implemented works for other kinds of gestures too and also for mouse and laptop touchpad gestures.

phosh 0.14.0 is out 🚀 :

It adds launch splash for starting apps, has media player improvements and much more. Check the release notes (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.14.0) for details.

@linmob I usually have the Wifi HKS off when not needing it which helps battery life a lot.

@purism … and on a side note: it's great that working with all those different upstreams (#GNOME, #wlroots, #linux, #mesa, #fdo,, #debian, …) works so well so far so we can run together rather than against each other.

@dubstar_04 Just for context: It's possible with GTK3 too. It's really more a #phosh / #phoc interaction thing.

@dubstar_04 That is unrelated. Would be nice if we'd get it that easily. Some of my #phoc work is somewhat related to that though.

@Alexmitter yeah, it's great to see that moving
