This commit allows compiling LyX with Qt6 when using autotools.
For a successful compilation the following 2 conditions must be met.
1) The Qt6 qmake has to come first in PATH, so that the command
"qmake -v | grep -o 'Qt version .'" returns "Qt version 6".
2) The --enable-qt6 switch has to be passed to the configure command.
If --enable-qt6 is used but Qt6 is not found, Qt5 is tried as a fallback.
If also Qt5 is not found, configuring for Qt4 is attempted.
If --enable-qt6 is not used, then things go as usual. This means that Qt5
is tried first and then Qt4, unless --disable-qt5 is used, in which case
Qt4 is directly attempted. This means that existing scripts should
continue working unmodified.
LyX should compile with Qt6 on windows and linux, and possibly also on
mac, but I could not test that. However, it is not guaranteed that it
works as it should. In particular I am not sure that I got right the
conversion from QRegExp to QRegularExpression. For sure, the syntax
highlighting seems to not work right. Someone in the know should take
a look at that. I am able to load documents and compile them but some
thourough testing is needed. However, when compiling for Qt5 or Qt4,
I tried to make sure that the functionality is preserved.
Outputing the FuncCode enum to a stream using the << operator does not
work well. Actually I am not sure whether the << operator in LyXAction
is supposed to work (don't we need an enum class for that?).
On macOS the Disable Editing "Lock" icon protrudes into tab title
Also, since the close button is on the left, the lock is better positioned on the right.
The detour via QIcon is to avoid a pixelated pixmap (because in LyX pixmaps don't adjust by default to the device's pixel ratio correctly).
Also
Fix for bug #12160.
The bookmarks are shown with circled numbers in the right margin (or
the left margin in RTL mode). A new color "bookmarks" has been added.
Currently bookmark 0 (the return position) is not displayed because it
is very disturbing in practice.
To make this work, a new method BookmarksSection::bookmarksInPar
retuns the list of bookmarks in a paragraph along with their position.
Force redraw when using bookmark-save and bookmark-clear.
Caveats:
- this solution does not show the precise position of the bookmark
(this is supposedly not a problem).
- if several bookmarks are on the same row, they will currently be
garbled. It would be easy to make sure that only one is shown ; what
would be more difficult would be to move the second bookmark lower.
- it is possible to make sure that the markers are correctly centered
in the margin, and that the margin size is large enough to hold the
marker (I did not try all fonts).
Fixes bug #2496.
Add code stolen from QBitTorrent that enables properly HiDpi handling.
HighDpi support is set by default starting with Qt 5.6.
Support for fractional scaling is added for Qt >= 5.14.
Hopefully fixes bug #12060.
A new method for drawing ellipses has been added to the painter
and used for drawing real dots for math decorations and the various
\cdots, \ddots, \vdots, etc., latex commands.
Some lfuns are handled directly in GuiApplication while handling
of menu hiding in fullscreen was done on the level of GuiView.
We'll see if this code movement breaks in different scenarios,
but quick grep suggested that the only other way to guiview
dispatch is through drag&drop when menu isn't involved.
Add a new ForceAll update flag that forces to update metrics and
redraw all buffer views.
The situation in multi windows setting is very fragile and will need
to be adressed properly in the 2.5 cycle.
In Qt 5.15 many deprecation warnings are issued, presumably for
helping the port to Qt 6. They are really a load but can be
shuten up by using -DQT_NO_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS, except for the ones
about MidButton, AdjustToMinimumContentsLength, and DefaultLocaleLongDate.
This change should not affect compilation with Qt 4, as all changes are
backward compatible (only Qt versions prior 4.5 could be affected).
Factor out the code that connects to a newly created dialog and then
use that also in GuiGraphics.
There must be many other dialogs that need this same treatment....
The bookmarks are added as virtual elements in display Rows. Bookmarks
are shown with circled numbers. A new color "bookmarks" has been
added. Currently bookmark 0 (the return position) is not displayed
because it is very disturbing in practice.
To make this work, a new method BookmarksSection::bookmarksInPar
retuns the list of bookmarks in a paragraph along with their position.
Force redraw when using bookmark-save and bookmark-clear.
Fixes bug #2496.
As suggested there, we attach ourselves to the newly created inset,
if we in fact just created an inset. (This will only matter if Apply
was clicked, so the dialog is still open, but I did the calcuation
anyway, as it seems cheap enough.) This allows the user to modify
that inset (e.g., change the format) and also prevents another click
on Apply, or OK, from creating another dialog.
I've also removed the override of disconnectOnApply(). It does not
work, anyway, I think because it only works with GuiDialog, not with
DialogView-based dialogs.
At the moment, there is no support for plurals and capitalization.
A long comment explains why. Support could be added for that without
a format change.
Mistakes are visible but word replacement is disabled. Disable relevant
widgets depending on the situation.
Move updateView code to SpellcheckerWidget::Private.
1/ remove boost regex code from 3rdparty/boost. Only the cmake stuff remains.
2/ remove traces of BOOST_LIB since there is no need anymore to
compile boost stuff.
3/ remove traces of boost regexp in config/lyxinclude.m4 and INSTALL
4/ require gcc 4.9 as minimal version in autoconf.
Unfortunately, the net gain is only 10% of included boost size (now 21M).
The current code did not give much information.
I am not sure why the <<FontInfo operator is not defined in
FontInfo.h, but I figured that it was not necessary to understand that
now.
The caret geometry is now computed in BufferView as a list of shapes
(caret, horizontal l-shape if needed, completion triangle if needed)
kept in a variable of type CaretGeometry.
The code in WorkArea.cpp only has to draw these shapes. The
CaretWidget (which never was a widget) in GuiWorkArea.cpp is gone
now.
As a consequence, the bounding box for the cursor is known precisely
and therefore rows should be repainted correctly now. This avoids
caret droppings.
Fixes bug #12024.
Because Compare uses threads, we need to make sure it is finished when a
compare is executed from the command line. This was a problem for command
sequences, because the next command would start running before the compare
was done, and the buffer with differences was available.
So this commit adds the "run-blocking" parameter when using
LFUN_DIALOG_SHOW to run a Compare. When calling Compare with run-sync, the
LFUN will wait for the compare worker thread to finish before returning and
possibly running the next command.
To do this, hard-coded test for xcb had to be replaced with a call to
platformName(). Since this method does not exist in Qt4, we emulate
it.
Note that Qt5 uses xcb bindings for X11 system, while Qt4 relies on
older X11 bindings. We return platorm == "qt4x11" in this case.
Fixes bug #11746.
The option here is to NOT indent the paragraph, so make that clear.
As it was, we would set "Indent" to false in the case of paragraphs
that do not permit indentation and then write that, uselessly, to the
LyX file if we wrote any other option (and then keep writing it, even
if other options were removed). Now, we will write it only if it's been
explicitly set.
The method horizontalAdvance() replaces width() starting with Qt 5.11.
To handle this, all direct calls to QFontMetrics::width() are replaced
by calls to GuiFontMetrics::width(), and the code for
GuiFontMetrics::width(QChar) uses horizontalAdvance on newer Qt
versions.
Without this patch, there would be errors like these (warnings turned into errors):
D:\LyX\lyx-unstable\src\frontends\qt\GuiView.cpp(2413): error C4101: 'e': unreferenced local variable
D:\LyX\lyx-unstable\src\frontends\qt\GuiView.cpp(4879): error C4101: 'ex': unreferenced local variable
Intended changes:
* code is shorter and cleaner
* caret scales better with zoom when cursor_width=0: completion
indicator, l-shaped cursor...
Details:
* Rename BufferView::getPosAndHeight to getPosAndDim because ascent is
needed too and width could in the future be set depending on font.
* Get rid of rect_ in CaretWidget and record a Dimension (and y value) instead.
Remove also caret_width_ and slant_, replace rtl_ with dir.
* Make CaretWidget members public and lose the trailing _.
* change CaretWidget::update to read its parameters from current bufferview.
This can lead to mistakes. If no buffer is required at the beginning,
it is better to pass 'nullptr' explicitly.
Fix a case of missing parameter in GuiCompleter (introduced at
f3656600). This avoids some spurious "There is no group open (creating
one)" messages.
Fixes for bug #11428. Emphasis is used regularly and it is helpful to
see whether the next text will be written emphasized directly from the
cursor.
This is also implemented in MS Word and Google docs but not in
LibreWriter.
Also fixes the caret for RTL languages whose width was previously
extended into the wrong direction.
Instead of working around crashes in update of caret geometry, only
request it as needed. The actual computation will take place just
before painting the caret.
It might be that this is overkill and that caret geometry should be
updated unconditionally. One would have to to some timing while idle to
ascertain that.
Fixes bug #11912.
The rules for typesetting math differ from the rules for typesetting
text. For example, two italic 'f' chars have to be typeset more closely
than two 'o' chars in text mode, but not in math mode. Qt provides a
method that returns the distance appropriate for drawing a subsequent
character in text mode, but nothing for math mode. Typically, the
distance appropriate for drawing the next character in math mode is
the actual width span by the character, corrected by the rules of
an appendix in the TeXbook. Recently, those rules are followed more
closely in LyX but not exactly, and we have to find a way to adapt to them.
Some symbols may need more spacing around them than the width they span.
So, we use the distance suggested by Qt, unless it is less than the
width of the rectangle bounding the symbol. Before Qt 5.11 the used method
was QFontMetrics::width(), but since then it has been declared obsolete
in favor of QFontMetrics::horizontalAdvance(), whose name conveys better
its meaning.
Instead of working around crashes in update of caret geometry, only
request it as needed. The actual computaiton will take place just
before painting the caret.
It might be that this is overkill and that caret geometry should be
updated unconditionally. One would have to to some timing while idle to
ascertain that.
Fixes bug #11912.
When the fonts distributed with texlive with same family name
as ours are also managed by fontconfig, Qt is not able to
discriminate ours by the style only. In order to be sure Qt
will load our fonts, we change the foundry name from 'PfEd'
to 'LyEd' and augment the font family name with this foundry
name. This only works on *nix, because adding a foundry name
seemingly breaks things on Windows. However, this is a *nix
only problem, seemingly.
This restores the debug output as it was intended before the
introduction of the LYXERR macro that was unconditionally outputing
an end of line. This is how this output was appearing until lyx 1.5:
Looking for font family cmr10 ... got: cmr10
got it normal!
instead of as it was since lyx 1.6 and until now:
Looking for font family cmr10 ...
got: cmr10
got it
normal!
Using US english desktop language LyX's Mac OS adds some items to the view menu:
1. Show/Hide Tab Bar and
2. Enter Full Screen
These items won't work properly and it's better to hide them.
Mac OS adds two extra menu entries to the edit menu.
These menu items are:
1. Start Dictation...
2. Emoji & Symbols
Both menu items don't work with LyX.
Therefore they shouldn't be present and the new code hides them.
Both QTextLine::naturalTextWidth() and QTextLine::horizontalAdvance()
return the same value for \fint. However, examining esint10.ttf with
fontforge does not reveal any issue with the metrics. The fact that
\fint seems to be the only affected symbol might be due to its code
point, which corresponds to a space, so that maybe Qt makes some
assumptions on the metrics.
As QTextLine::naturalTextWidth() returns the width of the line that is
occupied by text, in the case of a single symbol we can obtain the
same value by using the width of the rectangle bounding the symbol.
Currently tested:
- url & doi fields for bibtex.
- all documented eprinttypes of biblatex
- absolute paths of first entry of 'file' field for jabref and kbibtex
- external script searching for author + year pdf
Additional polishing will follow.

Since be836909c5 the positioning of super- and subscripts
for symbol fonts has been broken because the metrics of the
font of the environment (rather than those of the symbol itself)
were used.
The 20px space on top and bottom of document have traditionally been
obtained by adding the to the ascent/descent of the first/last row.
This reads to annoyances like selections that are drawn in these
margins and issues with the nesting marker.
The change is to add the values to a separate member of the Row
object, and to add new Row::total(Ascent|Descent) methods that add the
effect of this padding.
Moreover, some methods are added to TextMetrics to simplify the
BufferView code.
Fixes bug #9545.
The old code in GuiPainter::filterColor did not work. Tricks with
colors should take place in HSV space, not RGB IMO.
Replace the code with a simpler one which maps the grayscale value
of the original color on the blend color. It works nin the case where
original color is red, but might not work as well when blend color is
not black. Time will tell.
Fixes bug #11904.
This commit adds the mathed command \mathds that selects a
font more appropriate than \mathbb for typesetting the
mathematical symbols for the natural (N), whole numbers (Z),
rational numbers (Q), real numbers (R), complex numbers (C),
and some others.
As in the \mathbb case, only capital letters are supported,
but in addition one can also typeset a symbol often used for
representing the indicator function (\mathds{1}) and the
letters a, h, k.
Fixes bug #11887.
It turns out that the resources were mostly not used anyway. Removing
them shrinks LyX binary by ~6MB.
Only autotools have been adapted. cmake will require the same
simplification.
The automatic icons for "command-alternative", "math-insert",
"math-(big)delim" and "command" can be overriden by an explicit icon
name.
Besides that, the iconName function is refactored, and now returns an
additional bool that indicates whether the icon should be flipped.
The code that uses resources is still useless. This will be the
subject of further work.
The code was checking only for particular vertical alignment requests
in order to decide to nest a standard array into a 1x1 ams matrix.
However, also vertical lines are not possible in ams matrices.
Before, we would continually set the selection to the empty string,
to maintain ownership. This causes problems with clipboard managers
GPaste and CopyQ. Further, in theory this should have better
performance since checking ownership should be faster than setting.
A disadvantage of this change is that the timestamp of the selection
will be old at this point in the code. However, when the selection
is requested, we put the selection contents at that point so the
selection timestamp should be accurate then. Further, the selection
contents are not accurate at this point in the code (they are just
the empty string), so it is not clear whether having an accurate
timestamp is beneficial.
Fixes#11715.
