Events have been passed to the frontend/device (or /input) code before.
Some of them have been handled in the FFI/input code, however. That
seems to be highly critical with regard to timing, though, so we just
let it enqueue the event for our code to process later. That way, a
mutex that locks the input event queue can be freed faster.
This should fix#1016.
Usage for #1016:
Create a file named "custom.event.map.lua" in the koreader directory
with the following content:
return {
[102] = "LPgFwd",
}
This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
