However, -that function is never called in Orca or elsewhere, as far as I can -tell. - -This ties down to `atspi_registry_set_reference_window()`, which just -calls `_atspi_mutter_set_reference_window()`. The side effect of that -is to set the `ATSPI_MUTTER_DATA.window_id` and -`window_id_is_explicit`, but again, those fields never get used in the -`atspi-mutter.c` code. I think they were meant to be used in -`_atspi_mutter_generate_keyboard_event` or -`_atspi_mutter_generate_mouse_event`. - -Relatedly, `_atspi_mutter_generate_keyboard_event` takes a `keystring` -argument but it's not used. - -What is incomplete here? - -Refactoring plan ----------------- - -While the device event controller (DEC) code works for X11, it doesn't -work for Wayland because there are no hooks there to sniff the -keyboard or mouse. - -However, the machinery to synthesize events is presumably still -useful. I'd like to be able to add tests for it. |
