This allows us to avoid asking the user for permission for remote control on Wayland every time kdeconnectd is restarted for whatever reason (for example logging out or rebooting), at least in theory. The idea is that the SelectDevices call now also accepts a restore token, and if the user grants permission to persist a restore token will be returned in the response of the Start call.
Currently https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/merge_requests/265 is required for this to work at all with Plasma 6, and even then persistence only works in the same session (for example if I restart kdeconnectd then I only get the notification instead of the permissions prompt), if I reboot the system then the token gets invalidated and the permissions dialog appears again, not sure if the issue is with what I'm doing here or if that's a bug in the portal.
Things that need to be checked:
- What happens if the portal implementation only has v1 of the protocol and not v2 (the one with persistence)?
- In particular what happens for the SelectDevices call if a restore token is given despite the portal not supporting it
- Seems fine with xdg-desktop-portal 1.14.4 at least
- For the Start call we'll need to handle the case of the user denying the persistence request anyway
- Where and how should the restore token be stored?
- ~~I used KConfig just so I have something to test, but the restore token isn't really a setting~~
- Updated to use `KSharedConfig::openStateConfig`
- Most of KDE Connect's settings and data appear to be for each connected device
- The device name is a global setting, but it's implemented using QSettings rather than KConfig, and currently only setName and getName is exposed in `core/kdeconnectconfig.h`
BUG: 479013
(cherry picked from commit 383ad27b59)
The rationale is explained in https://planet.kde.org/friedrich-kossebau-2023-06-28-include-also-moc-files-of-headers/
In case of KDEConnect, it impressively speeds up compilation. Before it
took 390 seconds on a clean build and with this change it took 330 seconds.
This is due to the mocs_compilation having to include the header files
and thus all their headers. Due to the lots of small plugins we have,
this means that the same headers must be compiled plenty of times.
When we include the moc files directly in the C++ file, they are already
available.
Cross-desktop approach to moving the cursor remotely on wayland. Should
work on X11 too, so we can consider drop the other one as well.
It adds support for receiving full text as well, which didn't use to be
possible.
Summary:
Windows no longer needs a separate plugin, and X11 and Wayland are now in
separate files instead of having lots of ifdefs.
Test Plan: Tested on X11, Wayland and Windows.
