X11 has a so-called primary selection, which you can use by marking text and middle-clicking elsewhere to copy the marked text.
There are 3 new API functions in `SDL_clipboard.h`, which work exactly like their clipboard equivalents.
## Test Instructions
* Run the tests (just a copy of the clipboard tests): `$ ./test/testautomation --filter Clipboard`
* Build and run this small application:
<details>
```C
#include <SDL.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
void print_error(const char *where)
{
const char *errstr = SDL_GetError();
if (errstr == NULL || errstr[0] == '\0')
return;
fprintf(stderr, "SDL Error after '%s': %s\n", where, errstr);
SDL_ClearError();
}
int main()
{
char text_buf[256];
srand(time(NULL));
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
print_error("SDL_INIT()");
SDL_Window *window = SDL_CreateWindow("Primary Selection Test", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 400, 400, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);
print_error("SDL_CreateWindow()");
SDL_Renderer *renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED);
print_error("SDL_CreateRenderer()");
bool quit = false;
unsigned int do_render = 0;
while (!quit) {
SDL_Event event;
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
print_error("SDL_PollEvent()");

print_error("SDL_HasClipboardText()");

print_error("SDL_GetClipboardText()");

SDL_free(text);
break;

SDL_SetPrimarySelectionText(text_buf);
print_error("SDL_SetPrimarySelectionText()");

print_error("SDL_HasPrimarySelectionText()");
char *text = SDL_GetPrimarySelectionText();
print_error("SDL_GetPrimarySelectionText()");
printf("text=\"%s\"\n", text);
SDL_free(text);
break;
} default:
break;
}
break;
} default: {
break;
}}
}
// create less noise with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1
if (do_render == 0) {
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
print_error("SDL_RenderPresent()");
}
do_render += 1;
usleep(12000);
}
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
print_error("quit");
return 0;
}
```
</details>
* Use c,v,d,f to get and set the clipboard and primary selection.
* Mark text and middle-click also in other applications.
* For wayland under x:
* `$ mutter --wayland --no-x11 --nested`
* `$ XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./<path_to_test_appl_binary>`
This is now used as a crc field in the mapping rather than directly in mapping guids, for better mapping compatibility between versions of SDL.
Added SDL_GetJoystickGUIDInfo() to get device information encoded in a joystick GUID, so that mapping programs can clear the CRC from the GUID when generating mappings.
sort_controllers.py has been updated to extract the CRC from mappings created by older mapping programs and convert it into the new crc field. It will also take the CRC into account when checking for duplicate mappings.
Also regenerated the GUIDs for the PS2/PSP/Vita controller mappings, fixing https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6151
- This allows looking up the display index for an arbitrary location rather than requiring an active window to do so.
- This change also reimplements the fallback display lookup that found the display with center closest to the window's center to instead find the display rect edge
closest to the window center (this was done in the almost identical display lookup used in SDL_windowsmodes.c, which now uses `SDL_GetPointDisplayIndex`). In
practice this should almost never be hit as it requires the window's center to not be enclosed by any display rect.
The documentation doesn't state that the argument is ever modified,
and no implementation does so currently.
This is a non-breaking change to guarantee as much to callers.
* Xbox GDK support (14 squashed commits)
* Added basic keyboard testing
* Update readme
* Code review fixes
* Fixed issue where controller add/removal wasn't working (since the device notification events don't work on Xbox, have to use the joystick thread to poll XInput)
- SDL_JoystickGUID -> SDL_GUID (though we retain a type alias)
- Operations for GUID <-> String ops are now in
src/SDL_guid.c and include/SDL_guid.h
- The corresponding Joystick operations delegate to SDL_guid.c
- Added test/testguid.c
Added the ability to specify a name and the product VID/PID for a virtual controller
Also added a test case to testgamecontroller, if you pass --virtual as a parameter
* Add initial support for the Nokia N-Gage
* N-Gage: disable clipping for the time being, issue needs to be resolved later
* Move va_copy definition to SDL_internal.h
* Move stdlib.h include to SDL_config_ngage.h, much cleaner this way
* Remove redundant include, add HAVE_STDLIB_H
* Revert "N-Gage: disable clipping for the time being, issue needs to be resolved later"
This reverts commit 4f5f0fc36cc7f34fad05e45671dfa7b8dc32fd51.
* N-Gage: fix clipping issue by providing proper math functions
* Fixes for IME Composition Truncation + Addition of SDL_ClearComposition, SDL_IsTextInputShown
* Fixed: Documentation and code style issues raised during code review.
* SDLTest_CommonDrawWindowInfo: log SDL_RenderGetScale, SDL_RenderGetLogicalSize
* testwm2: fix video modes menu hit detection in High DPI cases
- also when logical size is specified, e.g.
`--logical 640x480 --resizable --allow-highdpi`
* add function to determine logical coordinates of renderer point when given window point
* change since to the targeted milestone
* fix typo
* rename for consistency
* Change logical coordinate type to float, since we can render with floating point precision.
* add function to convert logical to window coordinates
* testwm2: use new SDL_RenderWindowToLogical
* SDL_render.c: alternate SDL_RenderWindowToLogical/SDL_RenderLogicalToWindow
