Complex rigs are built from many bones (often overlapping)
connected by constraints.
When investigating or debugging such rigs one often wants to switch to
the target of a constraint, or a parent bone, but it is difficult to do
manually due to overlap confusion.
This adds a right click menu option that automatically selects
and makes the target object or bone active for UI fields where a
suitable reference is readily available.
This should be purely an implementation change,
for end users there should be no functional difference.
The entire key configuration is in one file with ~5000 lines of code.
Mostly avoiding code duplication and preserve comments and utility
functions from the C code.
It's a bit long but for searching and editing it's also convenient to
have it all in one file.
Notes:
- Actual keymap is shared by blender / blender_legacy
and stored in `keymap_data/blender_default.py`
This only generates JSON-like data to be passed into
`keyconfig_import_from_data`, allowing other presets to load and
manipulate the default keymap.
- Each preset defines 'keyconfig_data'
which can be shared between presets.
- Some of the utility functions for generating keymap items still
need to be ported over to Python.
- Some keymap items can be made into loops (marked as TODO).

Now it shows more compact info below the view/object name. Render time and
memory usage is left out, as in most cases this is not so important. These
could be added back optionally if needed.
Cursor motion was often causing redraws.
Distance to scrollbars that don't exist in hidden regions
caused redraws (for alpha fading).
Check if scrollbars are used before calculating fade.
Implemented the following methods:
* SIMCURHAND_TYPE
* SIMCURHAND_RADIUS
* SIMCURHAND_WEIGHT
* SIMCURHAND_DIRECTION
Limits:
* DIRECTION does not support surfaces, because `BKE_nurb_bpoint_calc_normal`
does not work with Nurbs of type `CU_CARDINAL`. This also didn't work prior
to this patch, so we wait until surfaces are properly supported in EditMode.
* Also DIRECTION should take scaling into consideration. We need our own
versions of BKE_nurb_bpoint_calc_normal/bezt.
* Threshold default is too large. Not sure if it's better to change the default
or scale the threshold in code.

Changes from committer (Dalai Felinto):
* Moved nurb_bpoint_direction_worldspace_get/bezt to functions.
* Comments hinting at the mode (direction) that require scaling to be
taken into account - to be addressed by patch creator in a future
patch.
From own changes in that area... Now we also enforce handling shortcuts
in case relevant drawflag of searchbutton is set. Should allow to cover
all cases, hopefully.
When use the template in the topbar for only select an ID is very annoying to have the buttons after the name and only adds noise to the selector.
This option hide the number of users, new and delete buttons to get a cleaner topbar selector.
By default the parameter is disabled in order to keep all existing code/UI running.
Moves the Properties editor context switching to a vertical tabs region.
Design Task: T54951

The tabs are regular widgets, unlike the 'old' toolshelf tabs. This means they
give mouse hover feedback, have tooltips, support the right-click menu, etc.
Also, when vertical screen space gets tight, the tabs can be scrolled, they
don't shrink like the toolshelf ones.
The tab region is slightly larger than the header. The tabs are scaled up
accordingly. This makes them nicely readable.
The header is quite empty now. As shown in T54951, we wanted to have a search
button there. This should be added next.
Implementation Notes:
* Added a new region type, RGN_TYPE_NAVIGATION.
* Having the tabs in a separate region allows scrolling of the tab-bar, unlike
the toolshelf tabs. We might want to remove the scrollbars though.
* Added a new region flag RGN_FLAG_PREFSIZE_OR_HIDDEN, to ensure the tab region
is either hidden or has a fixed size.
* Added some additional flags to support fine-tuning the layout in panel and
layout code.
* Bumps subversion.
With the new automatic handle algorithm, it is possible to do a lot
of the animation via keyframes without touching the curves. It is
however necessary to change the keyframe interpolation and handle
types in certain cases. Currently the dopesheet/action editor
allows changing the types, but does not show them in any way.
To fix, add a new menu option to display this information. For handle
type, it is represented using the shape of the key icons: diamond for
Free, clipped diamond for Aligned, square for Vector, circle for Auto
Clamp, and cirle with dot for Automatic.
Non-bezier interpolation is a property of intervals between keys,
so it is marked by drawing lines, similar to holds. In this initial
version, only the fact of non-bezier interpolation is displayed,
without distinguishing types. For summaries, the line is drawn at
half alpha if not all curves in the group are non-bezier.
In addition, it is sometimes helpful to know the general direction
of change of the curve, and which keys are extremes. This commit
also adds an option to highlight extremes, based on comparing the
keyed values with adjacent keys. Half-intensity display is used
for overshot bezier extremes, or non-uniform summaries.

* Text editor word wrap, line numbers & syntax toggles now use consistent icons
that don’t change when you enable or disable them.
* Replaced icon toggle buttons in the snapping popover with normal checkboxes
and descriptive text labels. This makes it clearer which item is the main
radio button, is more consistent with other popovers, and allows us to use
more descriptive text.
* Added correct icons for grease pencil add menu.
* Added bespoke icons for grease pencil modifiers.
* Added icon for particle instance modifier.
* Added icon for fake user on & off states.
* Added correct icons for enabling/disabling modifiers in the dopesheet &
f-curve editor.
* Made it so the restrict viewport & restrict render toggles for modifier
update correctly when enabled or disabled, by flipping the order in the
icon sheet. This also required changing the outliner to match.
* Removed the few old remaining icons in the old style and made sure to replace
the last places where they were used.
* Updated many icons to be clearer & more consistent.
* Used correct icons for Tracking.
* Flip Copy/Paste icons so they are correct.
* Add correct icon for softbody modifier.
* Replace speaker icons for enabling F-Curves with checkboxes.
Only tag relations update when new f-curve was allocated. This solves
possible too slow keyframe insertion when doing character animation,
but still does proper relation update when new ID component became
animated.
Add the necessary colors and/or alpha components to the theme instead.
Also switch the background for ordinary channels to use the likely
intended theme option, instead of the window background color.
The general rule is that the channel color is drawn full strength in the
channel list on the left, and with alpha in the actual key frame area on
the right. This alpha is also reused with bone group colors.

Computation of hold blocks was done by storing ranges (with start and
an end, and likely overlapping) in a tree keyed only by the block start.
This cannot work well, and there even were comments that it is not
reliable in complex cases.
A much better way to deal with it is to split all ranges so they don't
overlap. The most thorough way of doing this is to split at all and every
known keyframe, and in this case the data can actually be stored in the
key column data structures, avoiding the need for a second tree.
In practice, splitting requires a pass to copy this data to newly added
keys, and the necessity to loop over all keyframes in the range being
added. Both are linear and don't add excess algorithmic complexity.
The new implementation also calls BLI_dlrbTree_linkedlist_sync for
its own needs, so the users of the *_to_keylist functions don't have
to do it themselves anymore.
