- moved shift-F3 (reload panel) bindings to XML
- moved shift-F4 (reload prefs) bindings to XML
- moved shift-F5, shift-F6, shift-F7, and shift-F8 (scroll panel) to
XML
- no longer includes Main/bfi.hxx
- added implementations of GLUTkey, GLUTkeyup, GLUTspecialkey, and
GLUTspecialkeyup
- include Input/input.hxx
- register GLUTkeyup and GLUTspecialkeyup with glut
- comment out call to fgJoystickRead
- comment out call to fgJoystickInit
- add call to FGInput::update to replace fgJoystickRead
this way, keyboard buttons can work the same way as joystick buttons
- added declaration for FGBinding::fire(double); this adds a setting
property to the arguments passed to the command, so that it can use
the current axis position as part of its calculations
- added data structures from joystick.cxx
- go back to using index as key code (otherwise, we'll get nasty
surprises when users try to override bindings)
- XML config file now nests bindings inside modifiers
- allow user to specify whether key is repeatable
- removed hard-coded bindings for 'b', ',', and '.'
- added code from joystick.cxx, with the following major changes:
- changed from js0, axis0, button0 to js[0], axis[0], button[0], etc.
- removed factor, offset, etc. since they will be args to command in
binding
- allow multiple bindings, as with key mappings
- allow access to keyboard modifier keys for bindings
- include infrastructure for modifiers (only FG_MOD_UP is used so far)
- removed unused 'saturation' property
- temporarily removed capture property and trim code; it will have to
be rewritten to be more generic
- allow modifiers for joystick buttons
want binding/property rather than binding/control
- removed hard-coded bindings for F3 (screenshot), Ctrl-S
(autothrottle), v (cycle view) and all of the keypad view-direction
keys; these are now defined in $FG_ROOT/keyboard.xml
- removed unused action method
a crash when relocating to a new airport. Pending work from the old
area is now just completed as normal, rather than trying to empty the various
queues in their various stages when can lead to many problems in a threaded
environment.
with different modifiers (the format of the key bindings has changed
again slightly, adding a <code>..</code> element; see keyboard.xml for
details).
2. Modified FGInput to try default modifiers for ctrl, shift, and alt
when the initial bindings fail (i.e. you don't have to specify
mod-shift explicitly for upper-case 'P' any more).
3. Fixed problems with properties and panel reloading reported by
Martin Dressler and John Check.
4. Updated preferences.xml to get rid of obsolete references to
/controls/brakes/left and /controls/brakes/right (as reported by John
Check).
There were also two non-bugs reported by John Check:
(a) Differential braking doesn't work (John was using the obsolete
properties from #4 above).
(b) Duplicates show up in the property tree using the telnet interface
(the property tree doesn't show indices, and John was seeing separate
entries for each possible engine, etc.).
Fixed a few glitches in the autopilot keys
Added a #define to be able to make a compile time decision to revert to
older GPS like autopiolt behavior this define SHOULD become a property
so that it is run time switchable.
(src/Input). So far, FGInput replaces most of src/Main/keyboard.cxx
(I've left a tiny stub); in the very near future, it will also take
over control of the joystick, mouse (Norm permitting), and panel
instrument interactions, so that there is a single mechanism for
configuring all input devices.
The new format should be (close to) self-explanatory by looking at the
new base-package file keyboard.xml, which is now included by
preferences.xml (I'll do the same thing for the joystick when I have a
chance). I have not managed to move all keybindings into this file
yet, but I've made a good start. I'm including Tony in the recipient
list so that he can see how bindings can use an external XML file.
This patch also adds support for multiple bindings for a single key,
special keys (i.e. keypad and function keys), and key modifiers
(shift/alt/ctrl); special keys use the PUI convention of adding 256 to
the Glut key code.
Unfortunately, everything comes with a price; in this case, I have not
yet found a general mechanism for the old (hard-coded) modal bindings,
which behaved differently depending on the autopilot state (i.e. left
rudder or move AP heading left); with my patches, this functionality
disappears, but you can still adjust the autopilot using the panel or
the GUI input dialogs.
