Replace the per-key dropdown UI (MapChoiceControl) with a Cairo-rendered
keyboard canvas where users can paint colors directly onto keys.
Editor (lib/solaar/ui/perkey/):
- Cairo DrawingArea renders cells from a Layout dataclass; bound cells
take their painted color, unset cells show a diagonal hash whose base
color matches the device's rgb_zone_* setting.
- Tools: brush, drag-rectangle, flood-fill (4-adjacent, Paint-style),
and a directional gradient (line A->B projected across the matrix
with cells past the endpoints clamped to the endpoint colors).
- GradientSwatch is the single source of truth for the gradient's two
colors; the canvas reads from it on each gradient stroke.
- Palette: GTK ColorButton plus an unset toggle that paints the
"no change" sentinel (-1).
- PerKeyEditorDialog auto-sizes from the canvas's size_request, so a
104-key keyboard opens wide and a 8-LED mouse opens compact.
- Editor consumes only a narrow PerKeyColorSink protocol; never imports
from lib/logitech_receiver, preserving the FE/BE seam.
- Per-device palette state (active + previous color) persists via the
existing persister under a _palette: prefixed key.
Layouts:
- ANSI 104-key full-size and TKL keyboard layouts.
- G502 X family mouse layout (zones 1-8 -> labels A-H).
- Generic registry: register_layout(feature, matcher, layout). A
_name_contains() helper builds case-insensitive substring matchers
against device codename / name. Unknown devices fall back to a flat
strip of all reported zones.
Validator (open value space):
- New Range dataclass and MapRangeValidator extending Validator
directly (kind=MAP_CHOICE for dispatch compatibility). Replaces the
ChoicesMapValidator on PerKeyLighting -- the named-color universe
(COLORSPLUS) was rejecting any picker color outside its ~20 entries.
Other MAP_CHOICE settings are untouched.
Integration:
- Setting base gains an editor_class string attribute. config_panel's
_create_sbox resolves it via importlib before the kind dispatch, so
PerKeyLighting routes to the new editor without a new Kind value.
- CLI gains a hex/dec parser for open-value MAP_CHOICE settings:
solaar config <dev> per-key-lighting A 0xFF00FF
- Diversion rule editor skips Range-valued MAP_CHOICE settings'
value-selector instead of crashing on the open value space.
- pycairo declared in install_requires; transitively present on most
systems but now explicit for pip-from-source installs.
Tests in test_setting_templates.py updated for the new validator.
Replace scripts=glob("bin/*") with entry_points console_scripts
to make solaar installable via pipx. pipx requires packages to
define console_scripts entry points to detect command-line apps.
It's imported unconditionally in:
lib/solaar/ui/about/presenter.py:19
lib/logitech_receiver/hidpp10.py:22
lib/logitech_receiver/hidpp20.py:35
Fixes 469c04f (committed as part of #2428).
Warnings found by automatic code inspection and partially tackled
- Drop distuitls inf favour of setuptools
- Replace deprecated pyudev.Device.from_device_number
- Remove unnecessary brackets
- Avoid access to private variables etc.
- Shadows built-in name
- Line length >120 characters
- Not a module level variable
- Simplify clause
and more
Replace yapf, isort and flake8 with much faster ruff formatter. Remove
conflicting rule and switch to double quotes for strings.

these only have meaning when they end up in a directory scanned by udev,
so $prefix/lib/udev/rules.d will be correct when installed to /usr. this
changes it from /usr/share/solaar/udev-rules.d which is ignored. it does
not affect installing as a user (e.g. pip install --user)
