This should fix a lot of issues regarding to old controller API, such as vibration
Haptics (vibrations) are only available in macOS 11+, so haptics are now
processed in macOS 11+ only. Also, this doesn't interfere with
controller's input as controller support is available in macOS 10.9+.
Added a Note for macOS regarding vibration support
The UWP platform port was never ported to the Godot 4.0+ API,
and it's now accumulating bitrot as it doesn't compile, and thus
we no longer propagate platform changes in it.
So we finally remove to acknowledge this state. There's still some
interest in reviving the UWP port eventually, especially as support
for Direct3D 12 will soon be merged, but when that happens it will
be easiest to redo it from scratch.
This adds the ability for games to obtain platform-specific information about joypads such as their vendor/product ID, their XInput gamepad index or the real name of the device before it gets swapped out by the gamecontrollerdb's name.
This PR also includes a rebased version of #76045, this is because this PR is intended to be mainly to help people implementing Steam Input, as having the gamepad index is essential.
During GDC and general testing on Steam Deck units, we found that single
gamepads would often register inputs twice under certain circumstances.
This was caused by SteamInput creating a new virtual device, which Godot
registers as a second gamepad. This resulted in two gamepad devices
reporting the same button presses, often leading to buggy input response
on games with no multi-device logic and other-wise could cause intended
Steam rebindings to not work as intended (for example, swapping o and x
on a playstation pad if that feature isn't supported by the game.)
SDL gets around this by taking in a list of devices that are to be
ignored. When valve sees a controller that wants to be rebound via
SteamInput, they push a new VID/PID entry onto the environment
variable `SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES` for the original gamepad
so that all game inputs can be read from the virtual gamepad instead.
This leverages the same logic as we are already using SDL gamepad
related HID mappings.
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).
Previously if an action was both pressed and released on the same tick or frame, `is_action_just_pressed()` would return false, resulting in missed input.
This PR separately the timestamp for pressing and releasing so each can be tested independently.
- Unify keycode values (secondary label printed on a key), remove unused hardcoded Latin-1 codes.
- Unify IME behaviour, add inline composition string display on Windows and X11.
- Add key_label (localized label printed on a key) value to the key events, and allow mapping actions to the unshifted Unicode events.
- Add support for physical keyboard (Bluetooth or Sidecar) handling on iOS.
- Add support for media key handling on macOS.

* All core types masks are now correctly marked as bitfields.
* The enum hacks in MouseButtonMask and many other types are gone. This ensures that binders to other languages non C++ can actually implement type safe bitmasks.
* Most bitmask operations replaced by functions in BitField<>
* Key is still a problem because its enum and mask at the same time. While it kind of works in C++, this most likely can't be implemented safely in other languages and will have to be changed at some point. Mostly left as-is.
* Documentation and API dump updated to reflect bitfields in core types.
The warning causes messages to be spammed if you are calling this
method in a game that runs on both desktop and mobile platforms,
unless you guard all calls to `Input.vibrate_handheld()` with
`OS.has_feature("mobile") or OS.has_feature("web")`.
Since the limitation is already documented (and is obvious enough
given the method's name), the warning message is redundant.
- Removed empty paragraphs in XML.
- Consistently use bold style for "Example:", on a new line.
- Fix usage of `[code]` when hyperlinks could be used (`[member]`, `[constant]`).
- Fix invalid usage of backticks for inline code in BBCode.
- Fix some American/British English spelling inconsistencies.
- Other minor fixes spotted along the way, including typo fixes with codespell.
- Don't specify `@GlobalScope` for `enum` and `constant`.
This also adds a link to the Command line tutorial on pages
that reference command line arguments, as the page covers some
general usage tips for CLI arguments (especially on macOS).
