The editor was a process-wide singleton: opening it on a different
device replaced the content in the existing window. A user with two
perkey-capable devices (e.g. a G915 keyboard and a G502 mouse) had to
context-switch between them, losing any in-progress edits on the
device they switched away from.
Replace the singleton with a `_dialogs` dict in dialog.py keyed by a
stable per-device identifier. control.py builds the key from
`device.unitId` first — read from the device firmware via the
DeviceInformation feature, the same regardless of whether the device
is currently on a receiver or plugged directly via USB — so the same
physical device on different transports shares one dialog instead of
opening two windows. Falls back to `serial`, `hid_serial`, `codename`,
and finally `id(sink)` for the pathological case where nothing else
identifies the device.
If the dialog is already open for a given device and `present()` is
called with the same sink instance, the window is just raised — no
flicker, in-progress interaction state preserved. A different sink
under the same key (transport change for the same physical device)
rebuilds the window content under the existing dialog slot, so the
window position is preserved across transport switches.
Closing a window via the WM tears down only that dialog and pops it
from the registry; other open editors stay up. As a side cleanup the
unused `inset` ScrolledWindow shadow already added in editor.py and
the per-device sizing logic in dialog.py remain in place.
The dialog used hardcoded offsets to compute its target size from the
canvas's size_request:
target_w = canvas_w + 32 # 8 wrapper border * 2 + ~16 scrollbar slack
target_h = canvas_h + 80 # 8 wrapper border * 2 + 50 toolbar + slack
Two problems with that:
1. The "+32" only covered the canvas's width plus borders, not the
toolbar's width. Small layouts (e.g. an 8-LED mouse: canvas ~172px)
produced a window narrower than the toolbar wanted (~261px with
the icon buttons + palette + color picker + unset toggle), causing
toolbar overflow / clipping.
2. The "+80" assumed a fixed toolbar height and scrollbar slack —
wrong on themes with chunkier buttons or different scrollbar
metrics, and brittle to any future toolbar additions.
Replace with `wrapper.get_preferred_size()`. GTK already aggregates
the canvas's size_request through ScrolledWindow + the editor VBox +
the wrapper's border into a natural size that accounts for every
contribution, including the toolbar's width. Drop the now-unused
`canvas_size()` shim from PerKeyEditor.
Read HID++ feature 0x4540 KeyboardLayout to detect the device's country
code, then route the per-key painter to a matching regional layout.
Changes:
- lib/logitech_receiver/hidpp20.py: new get_keyboard_layout() returning the
HID Usage Table country code from feature 0x4540's first response byte.
- lib/logitech_receiver/device.py: lazy device.keyboard_layout property,
guarded by feature presence so devices without 0x4540 don't pay a query
cost on access.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/control.py: thread the country code into the editor
hint dict.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/_keyboard_base.py (new): factor out the
function row, nav cluster, and numpad block as shared building blocks.
Two main-block variants (ANSI with row 2 col 13 backslash, ISO without)
cover all five regions. build_layout() applies per-zone label overrides
on top of either main block.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_ansi.py: refactored to use the
builder; same LAYOUT_FULL/LAYOUT_TKL exports.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_iso_qwerty.py (new): UK English
ISO. Same shape as DE/FR/JIS but no label overrides.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_iso_qwertz.py (new): DE/Swiss --
Y/Z swap, Ü/Ö/Ä/ß placement.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_iso_azerty.py (new): FR -- A↔Q,
W↔Z, French digit-row symbols, M repositioning.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_jis.py (new): JP -- @ / [ / :
bracket-row relabels.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/__init__.py: country-code-aware matchers,
five families × two sizes (full/TKL). Defaults to ANSI when 0x4540 is
unsupported or returns an unknown code.
POUND, ISO_BACKSLASH, and the L-shape Enter top half (zone 46) are
intentionally omitted from the ISO layouts -- same coverage as OpenRGB.
ABNT2 (Brazilian) deferred until a confirmed Logitech BR RGB device shows
up; adding it later is one new layout file plus a country-code entry.
Also fix copyright headers on all new lib/solaar/ui/perkey/ files: the
files were created in 2026, not 2024 as the headers said.
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.
