This directory contains code for handling accelerators in Ash. The following documents the flow of accelerators.
- wm::AcceleratorFilter() sees events first as it's a pre-target handler on Shell.
- wm::AcceleratorFilter calls to PreTargetAcceleratorHandler.
- PreTargetAcceleratorHandler handles accelerators that need to be handled early on, such as system keys. This does not include accelerators such as control-n (for new window).
- If focus is on a Widget, then views handles the accelerator.
- Views does normally processing first (meaning sends to the focused view). If the focused view doesn't handle the event, then Views sends to the FocusManager.
- FocusManager::OnKeyEvent() calls PostTargetAcceleratorHandler::ProcessAccelerator().
- PostTargetAcceleratorHandler::ProcessAccelerator() calls to Ash's AcceleratorController.
Steps 1-3 give Ash the opportunity to have accelerators before the target (these are often referred to as pre-target accelerators). Step 4-5 allows the target to handle the accelerator. Step 6-7 allow for post-target accelerators (accelerators that only occur if the target does not handle the accelerator).
Steps 4-7 differ if focus is on a remote window (a window created at the request of a client connecting by way of the WindowService). If focus is on a remote window, then step 4-7 are replaced with:
- WindowService waits for response from remote client.
- If remote client does not handle the event, WindowService calls WindowServiceDelegate::OnUnhandledKeyEvent().
- Ash's WindowServiceDelegateImpl::OnUnhandledKeyEvent() calls to AcceleratorController::Process(), which handles the post-target processing phase.
