Bug 51302 – [GTK+] Simplify spatial navigation handling in EditorClientGtk.cpp

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: New Bugs

[Antonio Gomes]

In moveCursorCallback function (EditorClientGtk.cpp) we are special handling the case where we have 'step' equals to 1 and 'direction' equals to 0 or 1. To put it simple, this is the case of either a RIGHT or LEFT arrow key press, without any modifier.

235     if (isSpatialNavigationEnabled(core(client->webView())->focusController()->focusedOrMainFrame()) && step == 1) {
236         if (direction == 1)
237             rawCommand = "MoveRight";
238         else if (!direction)
239             rawCommand = "MoveLeft";
240     }

When spatial navigation is enabled, we change the editor command from "MoveBackwark" to "MoveLeft" or "MoveForward" to "MoveRight", respectively.


This is unneeded if we change the movement mapping table directly. Patch coming ...

Perhaps you can say in the ChangeLog more explicitly that this only seems to be safe for left/right (granularity = character), since the other fallbacks in those methods have a FIXME implying that they are not desired. Thanks!

Fixed before landing.
