Make the window name `_quake` special #9785

zadjii-msft · 2021-04-12T14:03:22Z

Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds some special behavior to the window named "_quake".

When creating the quake window, it ignores "initialRows" and "initialCols" and opens on the top half of the monitor.
- It uses initialPosition to determine which monitor this is
It cannot be moved
It can only be vertically resized on the bottom border.
It's always in focus mode.
- We should probably have an issue tracking "Allow showing tabs in focus mode"? Maybe?
- This one element is maybe the one I'm least attached to

When renaming a window to "_quake", it adopts all those behaviors as well. It does not exit focus mode when leaving QM, nor does it resize back. That seemed unnecessary.

PR Checklist

In the pursuit of Feature request: hot key drop down ala quake/guake/tilda #653
I work here
Tests added/passed
Requires documentation to be updated, but I'm not gonna do any of that till quake mode is totally done.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Note that this doesn't do things like:

dropdown
global hotkey summon
summon to the current monitor
summon to the current desktop

I'm doing #653 very piecemeal, to try and make the PRs less egregious.

Validation Steps Performed

validated that center on launch still works
validated that QM works on different monitors based on initialPosition
validated entering/exiting QM behaves as expected

TODO!

When snapping the quake window between desktops with win+shift+arrow, the window doesn't horizontally re-size to the new monitor dimensions. It should.

A lot of nits, but a few questions here and there that I want answers on before signing off.

+            if (IsQuakeWindow())
+            {
+                _root->ToggleFocusMode();


Why ToggleFocusMode and not something like EnableFocusMode or SetFocusMode(true)? QM will always be in focus mode right?

Frankly, I hadn't written _SetFocusMode yet when I added this line 😋

Ah, but that's a private member on TerminalPage... meh, I just didn't feel like adding another method that'll only have one usage right here

+                // If we're entering QM from ~FM, then this will enter FM
+                // If we're entering QM from FM, then this will do nothing
+                // If we're leaving QM (we're already in FM), then this will do nothing
+                _SetFocusMode(_isInFocusMode);


A continuation of my confusion from above, why not do ToggleFocusMode?

meh, this one gets to be more explicit in what it's trying to do because it's already inside the TerminalPage. Technically, yes, ToggleFocusMode would work, by setting it to false, but then staying in focus mode anyways, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like this is weird. We're doing the math unprotected from over/underflow first then casting the result into ptrdiff_t.

Shouldn't we be doing a saturated operation on these things or casting them into the math wrappers first and then let it do the saturated subtract?

The same goes for some of the other saturated casts below. Though I'm not totally clear on what the source types are here that requires us to do the cast to begin with.

Yea you know, I felt weird writing that. I thinkthe types are LONGs originally. Maybe point is more forgiving than size, which is why I was getting weird "can't use an initializer list" errors.

lemme back that out and spend more than 30 seconds on it

That's an excellent idea for fixing the math thing. Appreciated. Looks good to me in that respect and otherwise.

Hello @zadjii-msft!

Because this pull request has the AutoMerge label, I will be glad to assist with helping to merge this pull request once all check-in policies pass.

p.s. you can customize the way I help with merging this pull request, such as holding this pull request until a specific person approves. Simply @mention me (`@msftbot`) and give me an instruction to get started! Learn more here.

Adds support for two new actions: * `globalSummon`, which can be used to activate a window using a _global_ (READ: OS-level) hotkey. - accepts an optional `name` argument. When provided, this will attempt to summon with the given name. When omitted, we'll try to summon the most recent window. * `quakeMode` which is `globalSummon` for the `_quake` window. These actions are stored in the actions array, but are read by the `WindowsTerminal` level and bound to the OS in `IslandWindow`. The monarch registers for these keybindings with the OS. When one is pressed, the monarch will recieve a `WM_HOTKEY` message. It'll use that to look up the corresponding action args. It'll use those to try and summon the right window. ## References * #8888: Quake mode megathread * #9274: Spec (**guys seriously i just need one more ✔️**) * #9785: The start of granting "\_quake" super powers ## PR Checklist * [x] Closes #653 - I'm gonna say this closes it for now, though we have _many_ follow-ups in #8888 * [x] I work here * [x] Tests added/passed ## Validation Steps Performed * Validated that it works with `win` keys * Validated that it works without `win` keys * Validated that it hot-reloads * Validated that it moves to the new monarch * Validated that you can bind both `globalSummon` and `quakeMode` at the same time and do different things * Validated that you can bind `globalSummon` with a name and it creates that name if it doesn't already exist
