Support grabbing the pointer with the Pointer Lock API
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This change adds the following:

a) A new button on the UI to enter full pointer lock mode, which invokes
   the Pointer Lock API[1] on the canvas, which hides the cursor and
   makes mouse events provide relative motion from the previous event
   (through `movementX` and `movementY`). These can be added to the
   previously-known mouse position to convert it back to an absolute
   position.
b) Adds support for the VMware Cursor Position pseudo-encoding[2], which
   servers can use when they make cursor position changes themselves.
   This is done by some APIs like SDL, when they detect that the client
   does not support relative mouse movement[3] and then "warp"[4] the
   cursor to the center of the window, to calculate the relative mouse
   motion themselves.
c) When the canvas is in pointer lock mode and the cursor is not being
   locally displayed, it updates the cursor position with the
   information that the server sends, since the actual position of the
   cursor does not matter locally anymore, since it's not visible.
d) Adds some tests for the above.

You can try this out end-to-end with TigerVNC with
TigerVNC/tigervnc#1198 applied!

Fixes: novnc#1493 under some circumstances (at least all SDL games would now
work).
