Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.
* Revert 776bfa64a5 and c3dad7953a (some X11 systems are doing
stupid things forcing me to do an extra check that completely breaks the
click type handling on other systems using the slightly changed
implementation from those commits - see T44278)
* Fix sample lines in Compositor+VSE
(And yes, this time I tested on both of my systems to make sure
everything is fine)
Seems like a fix that is needed for some X11 systems causes this bug on
others :| Not sure if the systems that needed this fix are now still
fine (since I did a slight change to the click type check procedure),
but I need to check that on my system in the institute in a bit.
Just add KM_CLICK to the already sent KM_RELEASE, don't send a new one
for this.
This might help us to get rid of quite some glitches and workarounds \o/
(why didn't this come earlier to my mind? :S)
For KM_ANY I've filtered out every event that has a click type, although
that was only needed for the additional event sent on KM_HOLD. A bit weird
that this only happened on a few machines though.

Initial implementation proposal: T41867
Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.
A few people that were involved with this:
* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done
* Campbell and Antony for the code and design review
* Ton for the design review
* All the other people that gave feedback on the patch and helped to
make this possible
A big "Thank You" for you all!
patch number D706 with changes:
- WITH_GPU_DEBUG just creates a debug context (and enables the debug messaging
system functions) but leaves the checks we had intact. Old patch
added the debug functionality only if we had the flag on to save some
performance.
Rationale here is that we might not want to recompile blender just to get
the extra information, and having users start blender with a -d flag to
get the extra information is also useful for bug reports. Those checks already
existed and most expensive ones are hidden behind a debug mode check
so performance should not be that bad.
- Did some cleanup of existing functionality:
When things go wrong blender side, just print the error,
don't check for GL errors first.
- Did not port changes needed for GLES to regular glew.h
- Got rid of duplicate or very similar new functionality.
Generally, code is more moving things around/cleanup and should work exactly
as before apart from the debug context, so it's safe to add even now.
It also provides a nice substitute function for glu error descriptions
This was initially added for a later support of making the automatic File
Browser fullscreen optional. As this idea was rejected for now (D1037) it
doesn't really make sense to leave these things in.
Adds support for stacked fullscreens. This basically means, if a user opens a
temporary fullscreen mode, such as the File Browser or the Image Editor render
view, from a different fullscreen, the "Back to Previous" function or the other
ways to escape those temporary fullscreens don't return to the split screen
layout but to the previous fullscreen he has been in.
I already committed something similar (f7e844570f) but that was only
supposed as a fix, it didn't work for the "Back to Previous" operator and the
implementation wasn't really reusable. This one looks a bit nicer + makes some
older hacks unnecessary :)
This was sort of a chicken<->egg dilemma, because after a maximized screen was restored, the screen handling used region
coordinates which weren't updated yet. I'm still not sure why, but this resulted in area coords that go beond INT_MAX.
To fix this I made sure the first screen handling after restoring a maximized screen is skipped, so that it's delayed to
the next call of wm_event_do_handlers (since this is called from main loop there shouldn't be a noticable delay or any
handling glitches).
There was a hard-coded check to exit the fileselector when restoring a view.
Now, when space types differ, flag areas as temporary and switch back to the previous type only in this case.
This means you can select a file while having a file-selector space type open, and not loose it every time.
This partial reverts rBd800cffaf10cb7, but fixes T40435 (Background label is not
redrawn).
It now isn't possible to use single modifier keys as shortcuts anymore. But this
is something that's not really useful at all, since it breaks more than it allows.
Original patch by @random (D765) with some minor work done by @campbell
and me.
At this place, I'd like call out a number of people who were involved and
deserve a big "Thank you!":
* At the first place @randon who developed and submitted the patch
* The Blendercn community which helped a lot with testing - espacially
* @yuzukyo, @leon_cheung and @kjym3
* @campbellbarton, @mont29 and @sergey for their help and advises during
* review
* @ton who realized the importance of this early on and asked me for
* reviewing
We are still not finished, as this is only the first part of the
implementaion, but there's more to come!
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
The reason being, with the current system of quick selection, it's
possible to spawn an operator after confirmation, especially for cases
with modifier buttons.
This commit adds a confirm threshold property to pie menus.
Basically, this will confirm the pie menu automatically when
the distance from the center of the pie exceeds that threshold without
a need to release the pie button.
The confirm threshold will only work if it is larger than the pie
threshold.
The confirmation actually occur when the mouse stops moving, to
allow multiple pie menus to be better linked together, (see below)
This functionality also facilitates the ability for chained pie menus by
dragging. Basically, a pie menu item can be a call_menu_pie operator and
the new pie menu will still use the original pie menu release event for
confirmation. This should allow for quick, gesture based navigation in
pie menu hierarchies (going back in the hierarchy is still not supported
though)
There will be a demonstration pie in the official add-on soon
This commit merges the code in the pie-menu branch.
As per decisions taken the last few days, there are no pie menus
included and there will be an official add-on including overrides of
some keys with pie menus. However, people will now be able to use the
new code in python.

Thanks:
Campbell Barton, Dalai Felinto and Ton Roosendaal for the code review
and design comments
Jonathan Williamson, Pawel Lyczkowski, Pablo Vazquez among others for
suggestions during the development.
Special Thanks to Sean Olson, for his support, suggestions, testing and
merciless bugging so that I would finish the pie menu code. Without him
we wouldn't be here. Also to the rest of the developers of the original
python add-on, Patrick Moore and Dan Eicher and finally to Matt Ebb, who
did the research and first implementation and whose code I used to get
started.
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.
For full list of features see:

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
