Check Keyboard Source before Gamepad Source for keyEvent handling #120

Open tastelessjolt opened 1 year ago

tastelessjolt commented 1 year ago

Downstream PR: https://github.com/parsec-cloud/libmatoya/pull/87

According to InputDevice:

A multi-function keyboard may compose the capabilities of a standard keyboard together with a track pad mouse or other pointing device

When handling keyEvent from such device, between SOURCE_KEYBOARD and [SOURCE_GAMEPAD, SOURCE_JOYSTICK, SOURCE_DPAD], it might be better to prefer SOURCE_KEYBOARD handling.

There is a downstream issue in Parsec, on Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 with Book Cover Keyboard, the keyEvents from this keyboard have both SOURCE_KEYBOARD and SOURCE_DPAD sources. But since the existing code handles these keyEvents as Gamepad event, normal keyboard presses don't do anything.

This change adds a SOURCE_KEYBOARD check before the Gamepad check so that Keyboard handling is preferred over Gamepad handling in multi source devices.
