Currently, code just checks whether a text-edited button uses a given icon (VIEWZOOM) to decide to apply changes on each typed char.
This patch adds a propper button flag (UI_BUT_TEXTEDIT_UPDATE) and a dedicated RNA flag (PROP_TEXTEDIT_UPDATE) for that.
It's also now usable not only for text buttons, but also for example for num buttons when in 'text edit' mode, etc.
It also fixes an actual bug, which is for text properties, in 'immediate' mode, hitting escape would not restore org value, because `ui_apply_but_TEX()` would set its orgstr to NULL on first call (giving it to `but->rename_orig` instead of copying it).
Note no change in behavior is expected from user POV.
Update for addons using that 'VIEWZOOM' icon 'feature' will follow (if any).

D937 with minor edits (whitespace only)
@aligorith, I double checked everything runs smoothly, blame me if I missed something ;). Sorry for just taking the initiative and committing without talking to you, but I wasn't able to catch you the last days. This should be fixed before the release IMHO, but I don't think it's important enough to be committed during BCon5, so sorry again, but hopefully everything is okay :)
Can be considered TODO but it's not bad to support either. Also added
RNA api to get aspect ratio of assigned UV image - returns aspect
corrected image dimensions so needs adjustments for uv editing.
* Rename "emboss" to "widget_emboss"
* Remove duplicated UI_GetThemeColor4ubv function
I made sure version bump and Save User Settings are working correctly ;P

We are still not finished, as this is only the first part of the
implementaion, but there's more to come!
After double checking the sequencer code, there doesn't seem to be any reason to
exclude these from the sequencer previews. This makes it possible to use the
sequencer to non-destructively chain together difference Grease Pencil animated
shots together without having to render each image sequence first, allowing for
a smoother workflow.
Just in case the initial assumption isn't entirely correct, I've put in place
an extra arg to the relevant functions which can be hooked up to a suitable
option on the scene strip later to turn this on/off as needed.
I'd kept the code around in the codebase until after the merge back to master
to avoid having too many conflicts if things changed there (or in case we
needed to roll back). Now, it's safe to jettison this!
This merge-commit brings in a number of new features and workflow/UI improvements for
working with Grease Pencil. While these were originally targetted at improving
the workflow for creating 3D storyboards in Blender using the Grease Pencil,
many of these changes should also prove useful in other workflows too.
The main highlights here are:
1) It is now possible to edit Grease Pencil strokes
- Use D Tab, or toggle the "Enable Editing" toggles in the Toolbar/Properties regions
to enter "Stroke Edit Mode". In this mode, many common editing tools will
operate on Grease Pencil stroke points instead.
- Tools implemented include Select, Select All/Border/Circle/Linked/More/Less,
Grab, Rotate, Scale, Bend, Shear, To Sphere, Mirror, Duplicate, Delete.
- Proportional Editing works when using the transform tools
2) Grease Pencil stroke settings can now be animated
NOTE: Currently drivers don't work, but if time allows, this may still be
added before the release.
3) Strokes can be drawn with "filled" interiors, using a separate set of
colour/opacity settings to the ones used for the lines themselves.
This makes use of OpenGL filled polys, which has the limitation of only
being able to fill convex shapes. Some artifacts may be visible on concave
shapes (e.g. pacman's mouth will be overdrawn)
4) "Volumetric Strokes" - An alternative drawing technique for stroke drawing
has been added which draws strokes as a series of screen-aligned discs.
While this was originally a partial experimental technique at getting better
quality 3D lines, the effects possible using this technique were interesting
enough to warrant making this a dedicated feature. Best results when partial
opacity and large stroke widths are used.
5) Improved Onion Skinning Support
- Different colours can be selected for the before/after ghosts. To do so,
enable the "colour wheel" toggle beside the Onion Skinning toggle, and set
the colours accordingly.
- Different numbers of ghosts can be shown before/after the current frame
6) Grease Pencil datablocks are now attached to the scene by default instead of
the active object.
- For a long time, the object-attachment has proved to be quite problematic
for users to keep track of. Now that this is done at scene level, it is
easier for most users to use.
- An exception for old files (and for any addons which may benefit from object
attachment instead), is that if the active object has a Grease Pencil datablock,
that will be used instead.
- It is not currently possible to choose object-attachment from the UI, but
it is simple to do this from the console instead, by doing:
context.active_object.grease_pencil = bpy.data.grease_pencil["blah"]
7) Various UI Cleanups
- The layers UI has been cleaned up to use a list instead of the nested-panels
design. Apart from saving space, this is also much nicer to look at now.
- The UI code is now all defined in Python. To support this, it has been necessary
to add some new context properties to make it easier to access these settings.
e.g. "gpencil_data" for the datablock
"active_gpencil_layer" and "active_gpencil_frame" for active data,
"editable_gpencil_strokes" for the strokes that can be edited
- The "stroke placement/alignment" settings (previously "Drawing Settings" at the
bottom of the Grease Pencil panel in the Properties Region) is now located in
the toolbar. These were more toolsettings than properties for how GPencil got drawn.
- "Use Sketching Sessions" has been renamed "Continuous Drawing", as per a
suggestion for an earlier discussion on developer.blender.org
- By default, the painting operator will wait for a mouse button to be pressed
before it starts creating the stroke. This is to make it easier to include
this operator in various toolbars/menus/etc. To get it immediately starting
(as when you hold down DKEy to draw), set "wait_for_input" to False.
- GPencil Layers can be rearranged in the "Grease Pencil" mode of the Action Editor
- Toolbar panels have been added to all the other editors which support these.
8) Pie menus for quick-access to tools
A set of experimental pie menus has been included for quick access to many
tools and settings. It is not necessary to use these to get things done,
but they have been designed to help make certain common tasks easier.
- Ctrl-D = The main pie menu. Reveals tools in a context sensitive and
spatially stable manner.
- D Q = "Quick Settings" pie. This allows quick access to the active
layer's settings. Notably, colours, thickness, and turning
onion skinning on/off.
Along with some minor cleanup and simplifications.

Recent flag re-order broke it since bits overlap, but logic here was far too complicated & fragile,
Checked the type of each button when testing which direction to handle events as well as block direction.
Now store the block-flipped state as a flag.
Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
Add simple uvs now does a cube unwrap and pack operation. Result is not
optimal by far but it should not result in crashes and it will be quite
usable for simple cases.
Operators that trigger UI events (but nothing else)
were using 'CANCELLED' making it impossible to tell if an invoke
function failed, or opened a menu.
This adds a theme option for the embossing of UI widgets. By doing this users have much greater flexibility for creating nice themes. Previously many themes (particularly dark ones) looked quite bad due to the very obvious emboss. This made simpler, flat-style themes very challenging.

Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

The nodes wire was using 'TH_HEADER' flag to get its color and thus would be in sync with the header. Now make it so it uses its 'own' flag (actually 'TH_SYNTAX_R', the only TH_SYNTAX_* which wasn't yet used by the nodes).
Also expose the setting to the user so it can be themified.

This will use a slower file write if an object is in edit or sculpt
mode.
Autosaving will explicitly not be supported to keep it fast.
Added a tooltip warning.
Attempt to select closest bones when possible.
Occlusion query selection does't support this well because we can't
really derive depth information from occlusion tests. May be possible to
improve this somewhat in the future.
Issue, after a lot of blood sweat and tears, was found in
ui_but_update_from_old_block, where we restore a button to its old
values when possible. The problem here is that a1 and a2 are not really
meant to store temporary variables, because they tend to get overriden
and palette selection is one of those temporary states.
Instead, we now store the position of each button in the palette in a2
and pointer to the palette in the customdata pointer of each button and
use that to test if it's active. The positions won't change when
clicking so we are guaranteed that the old button won't override the new
one with garbage.
It's still hacky but it is better than testing button types when copying
old values.
- Drawing grease pencil fail without scene-lock.
- Converting to curve failed without scene-lock.
- Outliner drag into viewport failed with local-view.
Turned out there were several issues in handling of scale parameter by numinput.
Fixed that by factorizing more some code in common with 'usual' numbuttons eval code
(new `bUnit_getScaleUnit()` helper will return valid scaled value, depending on
given system and type).
Now, numinput behaves as expected - using default unit amended by scale in case no unit is given
(i.e. entering '20' with a scale of 0.01 will give you 20cm, and '20cm' as well!).
