Introduce vk() and sc() key chord specifiers #10666

lhecker · 2021-07-15T01:14:59Z

This commit introduces an alternative to specifying key bindings as a combination of key modifiers and a character. It allows you to specify an explicit virtual key as vk(nnn).
Additionally this commit makes it possible to bind actions to scan codes. As scan code 41 appears to be the button below the Escape key on virtually all keyboards, we'll be able to bind the quake mode hotkey to win+sc(41) and have it work consistently across most if not all keyboard layouts.

PR Checklist

Closes Default bound key combinations are not working as expected on international keyboard layouts #7539, Closes Make Quake mode work with a German keyboard layout #10203
I work here
Tests added/passed

Validation Steps Performed

The following was tested both on US and DE keyboard layouts:

Ctrl+, opens settings ✔️
Win+` opens quake mode window ✔️
Ctrl+plus/minus increase/decrease font size ✔️

+        KeyChord(Boolean ctrl, Boolean alt, Boolean shift, Boolean win, Int32 vkey, Int32 scanCode);


I didn't want to add a 5th constructor, so I removed 1 instead.

-        return nullptr;
+        return _GetActionByKeyChordInternal({ modifiers, 0, keys.ScanCode() }).value_or(nullptr);


We'll now have to run _GetActionByKeyChordInternal twice, since the given keys might have both a vkey as well as a scan code set, but the internal hashmaps have only key bindings loaded that contain either of the two.

I used to have a comment explaining this here, but I must've lost it at some point. I'll re-add one.

    {
-        if (k != nullptr)
+        if (auto summonArgs = cmd.ActionAndArgs().Args().try_as<Settings::Model::GlobalSummonArgs>())


By casting the cmd prematurely, we won't have to cast it again in AppHost::_GlobalHotkeyPressed.
Additionally we won't have to hold onto the _hotkeyActions map.

-            args.SummonBehavior().DropdownDuration(summonArgs.DropdownDuration());
+    const auto& summonArgs = til::at(_hotkeys, hotkeyIndex);


As you can see here, a lot of casting is gone without the _hotkeyActions map.
Otherwise this code is still the same - just less indented.
(Suppressing white-space changes in GitHub makes this PR less scary.)

_useNonClientArea wasn't initialized during construction. I moved them down so this class uses less padding.

I had to add support for "( and )" escaping (now it uses R"#(...)#" instead), and I thought I could clean this file up a bit. 👍

By passing the hotkey not as a vector but rather one by one, we can get rid of the std::vector of key chords in the AppHost.

would it be tremendously dumb to oneline this as

return _GetActionByKeyChordInternal({ modifiers, keys.Vkey(), 0 }).value_or( _GetActionByKeyChordInternal({ modifiers, 0, keys.ScanCode() }).value_or(nullptr));

It would certainly be nice! But it would also eagerly check both variants, before returning either, and I'm not sure if that's a good idea...

Should this be added to profiles.schema.json too?

lhecker · 2021-07-15T15:49:00Z

@KalleOlaviNiemitalo Yeah I can do that. 👍
The space in the description field is rather limited though, so I've planned to add the actual, exhaustive, description to the online docs only.

KalleOlaviNiemitalo · 2021-07-15T21:00:17Z

Rather than the description, I meant this regular expression

           "pattern": "^(?<modifier>(?<mod1>ctrl|alt|shift|win)(?:\\+(?<mod2>ctrl|alt|shift|win)(?<!\\k<mod1>))?(?:\\+(?<mod3>ctrl|alt|shift|win)(?<!\\k<mod1>|\\k<mod2>))?(?:\\+(?<mod4>ctrl|alt|shift|win)(?<!\\k<mod1>|\\k<mod2>|\\k<mod3>))?\\+)?(?<key>[^\\s+]|app|menu|backspace|tab|enter|esc|escape|space|pgup|pageup|pgdn|pagedown|end|home|left|up|right|down|insert|delete|(?<!shift.+)(?:numpad_?[0-9]|numpad_(?:period|decimal))|numpad_(?:multiply|plus|add|minus|subtract|divide)|f[1-9]|f1[0-9]|f2[0-4]|plus)$",

lhecker · 2021-07-15T22:15:54Z

@KalleOlaviNiemitalo Oh wow that's a rather... comprehensive regex. 😄
I'm not sure if it's worth keeping it that complex, since it would get out of sync every time the VKEY_NAME_PAIRS list is changed in the code. (And it uses backtracking...)

For now I'll just remove the backtracking from the regex and update it with the 5 new key chord types.

~~Remaining TODOs:~~

~~Add a comment to ActionMap::GetActionByKeyChord~~ ✔️
~~Add a unit test for vk(nnn) / sc(nnn) parsing~~ I can't run LocalTests_SettingsModel tests. 😟

If there's an actually correct regex for all the things this accepts, I won't be shocked, but I don't think it's valuable to try and optimize this more past this point IMO.

Yeah I made it less correct than it was, because the previous regexp was really really hard to understand. 😅

this does somewhat violate the design where any action could have been promoted to be "global" :/

if @zadjii-msft is okay with this ("YAGNI"), then okay

I don't think we'll need it, at least not for a while. Methinks the event horizon for "slam arbitrary actions into the tray flyout" is decently far away.

I just changed it because I found the code hard to read and I applied the YAGNI principle to it. I find it easier to understand now, as less casts/checks are necessary.
But of course I can't know how others about it. If you feel like I should revert it I'll gladly do so!
I'll wait a bit before I merge it. :)

Of course we can also convert the type of this vector to be std::vector<Command> in the future and retain the same advantages (well I mean the advantages as I perceived them). 🙂

Hello @lhecker!

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.

Additionally this commit makes it possible to bind actions to scan codes. As scan code 41 appears to be the button below the Escape key on virtually all keyboards, we'll be able to bind the quake mode hotkey to `win+sc(41)` and have it work consistently across most if not all keyboard layouts. ## PR Checklist * [x] Closes microsoft#7539, Closes microsoft#10203 * [x] I work here * [x] Tests added/passed ## Validation Steps Performed The following was tested both on US and DE keyboard layouts: * Ctrl+, opens settings ✔️ * Win+` opens quake mode window ✔️ * Ctrl+plus/minus increase/decrease font size ✔️

`VkKeyScanW` as well as `MapVirtualKeyW` are used throughout the project, but are input method sensitive functions. Since #10666 `win+sc(41)` is used as the quake mode keybinding, which is then mapped to a virtual key in order to call `RegisterHotKey`. This mapping is highly dependent on the input method and the quake mode key binding will fail to work once the input method was changed.  ## PR Checklist * [x] Closes #10729 * [x] I work here * [ ] Tests added/passed ## Validation Steps Performed * win+` opens quake window before & after changing keyboard layout ✔️ * keyboard layout changes while WT is minimized trigger reloaded ✔️

@lhecker

## Summary of the Pull Request This isn't a fix for #10875, but it is logging that help identify the root cause here. The logging may additionally be helpful for some of the other issues we're seeing elsewhere in the repo, namely #10340. @lhecker is actually working on the fix for #10875, so hopefully this test will help validate. ## References * Regressed in #10666. * logging for #8888 ## PR Checklist * [x] Closes nothing * [x] I work here * [x] Tests added, and they absolutely fail, but they're localtests, so ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ * [n/a] Requires documentation to be updated ## details While I was here, I noticed that `KeyBindingsTests::KeyChords` has been broken for some time now. So I fixed that too.

👏 This is a huge win for key bindings in general. I wish all video games switched to scan codes instead of being layout dependent.
