Currently, TabChild discards eKeyDown and eKeyPress events which are marked as
"repeated" and were dispatched after the latest eKeyDown event comes into the
process. However, keyboard layout utils may generate native key events
as "repeated" even if each native key is important to input proper text.
So, TabChild shouldn't decide if coming keyboard event is skippable only with
mIsRepeat. For solving this issue, this patch adds
mMaybeSkippableInRemoteProcess to WidgetKeyboardEvent and makes
TabChild::SkipRepeatedKeyEvent() check
WidgetKeyboardEvent::CanSkipInRemoteProcess() instead.
On Windows, there are two ways to generate keyboard input messages. One is
using SendMessage() or PostMessage(). The other is SendInput() API. In both
ways, utils can make their input as repeated key messages.
The former case must be safe for this issue since such utils need to set 31st
bit of lParam to 1 explicitly.
On the other hand, in the latter case, the utils probably need to append
KEYEVENTF_KEYUP into KEYBDINPUT::dwFlags. Otherwise, only first call is
treated as non-repeated event.
So, when given message does not came from physical key operation, NativeKey
should set WidgetKeyboardEvent::mMaybeSkippableInRemoteProcess to false
even if WidgetKeyboardEvent::mIsRepeat is true.

If a key combination causes text input, we need to dispatch keypress
events without alt/ctrl/meta modifiers since TextEditor won't handle
keyepress events whose altKey, ctrlKey or metaKey is true as inputting
text.
Currently, TextEventDispatcher sets mCharCode of eKeyPress event from
mKeyValue. Then, when altKey, ctrlKey or metaKey is true, it'll call
WillDispatchKeyboardEvent() and then, TextInputHandler needs to reset
the charCode value from native event information.
However, the problem is, TextInputHandler::InsertText() is called
with control character when control key is pressed and InsertText()
clears the modifier information before sending eKeyPress event to
TextEvenDispatcher so that TextEventDispatcher won't call
WillDispatchKeyboardEvent() even though control key is actually
pressed. Therefore, TextInputHandler cannot adjust charCode value
and modifier flags in some cases such as control + option + 'a'.
This patch makes InsertText() stop clearing the modifiers and
makes WillDispatchKeyboardEvent() do it instead. This procedure
is expected by TextEventDispatcher.

On macOS, option key is mapped to alt key, and it works like AltGr key on
the other platforms. Since our editor doesn't accept keypress events as
typing printable character if one of altKey, ctrlKey and metaKey of the
events is true, widget for macOS sets those attributes to false when an
editor has focus. On the other hand, if no editor has focus, our widget
does not do this hack so that altKey and ctrlKey values of keypress events
are always same as actual user operation and this is same behavior as the
other browsers. Therefore, we need to keep setting altKey of keypress
events to true if no editor has focus but we need to dispatch keypress
events even on content unless the charCode is 0.
So, only on macOS, WidgetKeyboardEvent::IsInputtingText() does not need
to check altKey state.

Gecko decides keyCode from an ASCII character which is produced by the key
by itself or with Shift on active keyboard layout or alternative ASCII capable
keyboard layout if active keyboard layout isn't ASCII capable. However, we've
ignored alternative ASCII capable keyboard layout's character if both the
key itself and with Shift don't produce ASCII alphabet nor ASCII numeral,
i.e., ASCII punctuation characters are not used in alternative ASCII capable
keyboard layout because of avoiding mapping a keyCode value to 2 or more keys.
However, setting 0 to keyCode value makes Firefox unusable with some web
applications which are aware of neither KeyboardEvent.key nor
KeyboardEvent.code. So, even if we map same keyCode value to a key, we should
avoid setting keyCode value to 0 as far as possible.
This patch's approach is, we behave same keyCode value as the alternative ASCII
capable keyCode is selected when computed keyCode value of active keyboard
layout is 0. This means that we will make some language users whose keyboard
layout for their language is not ASCII capable can use global web services
which support US keyboard layout of Firefox since the new keyCode values
are mostly computed with US layout on Windows or actual alternative ASCII
capable keyboard layout on macOS and Linux. In other words, we cannot improve
compatibility with web applications which don't support Firefox by this patch
since our keyCode values are really different from Chrome's. So, unfortunately,
if we'd use exactly same keyCode computation as Chromium, we'd break
compatibility with existing web applications which are aware of Firefox since
it's necessary to check UA name or something before using keyCode values.
Note that the most important difference between Windows and the others is,
such keyCode value is computed with alternative ASCII capable keyboard
layout on macOS and Linux but only on Windows, it's computed with OEM virtual
keycode. This means that only on Windows, the keyCode value may be different
from actual alternative ASCII capable keyboard layout's keyCode.

Currently, we dispatch keypress event when Enter is pressed without modifiers
or only with Shift key. However, the other browsers dispatch keypress event
for Ctrl + Enter in any platforms even if it doesn't cause any text input.
So, we should fire keypress event for Ctrl + Enter even in strict keypress
dispatching mode.
Note that with other modifiers, it depends on browser and/or platform.
So, anyway, web developers shouldn't use keypress event to catch
Alt + Enter, Meta + Enter and two or more modifiers + Enter.

Chromium dispatches a keypress event when pressing Enter or Shift+Enter.
Actually, when user press them in <pre> element of HTML editor, ﾂ･n is inserted.

UI Events declares that keypress event should be fired when the keypress event
causes some text input. However, we're keeping our traditional behavior for
historical reasons because our internal event handlers (including event
handlers of Thunderbird) handles keypress events for any keys. Therefore,
for minimizing the side effect, we should stop kicking keypress event handlers
in the default event group in web content.
This patch adds new pref for enabling the standard behavior in web content.
Additionally, creates WidgetKeyboardEvent::IsInputtingText() for sharing the
check logic between TextEventDispatcher and TextEditor/HTMLEditor.

Currently, access key is handled in EventStateManager::PreHandleEvent() with eKeyPress event, i.e., before dispatching it into the DOM tree, if the access key is registered in EventStateManager. So, the main process does not check if the preceding eKeyDown event is consumed in focused remote process.
When preceding eKeyDown event is consumed in the main process, eKeyPress event won't be dispatched by widget. However, if remote process has focus, it's impossible widget to stop dispatching eKeyPress event because preceding eKeyDown event hasn't been handled in the focused remote process yet. Therefore, main process needs to post eKeyPress event to check if preceding eKeyDown event was consumed. When eKeyPress event is marked as "waiting reply from remote process", TabChild sends it back to the main process only when preceding eKeyDown event wasn't consumed. So, only when eKeyPress event is back to the main process, main process should handle accesskey with it.
This patch makes EventStateManager::PreHandleEvent() check if a remote target has focus before handling accesskey. If a remote process has accesskey and there is an accesskey matching with eKeyPress event, it marks the event as "waiting reply from remote content" and stop propagation in the process.
Finally, when eKeyPress event is sent back to TabParent, TabParent::RecvReplyKeyEvent() calls EventStateManager::HandleAccessKey() before dispatching the reply event into the DOM tree.

EventStateManager checks if every keypress event's modifiers match with access key modifiers which are in prefs. Moving related methods of this to WidgetKeyboardEvent makes EventStateManager simpler and we can hide the NS_MODIFIER_* constants (they may make developers confused between Modifiers of WidgetInputEvent) into WidgetEventImpl.cpp.

Currently, we have 2 bool flags (and optional 2 bool flags with related purpose) for managing propagation state between parent process and remote process. However, it's really complicated. Actually, setting these flags and referring the flags is usually follow explanation.
So, for making simpler, WidgetEvent and BaseEventFlags should have some utility methods for making them as self documented code.
This patch moves WidgetKeyboardEvent::mIsReserved to BaseEventFlags::mIsReservedByChrome. That allows us to manage the cross process event propagation state in same place.

WidgetKeyboardEvent::mInputMethodAppState was used by B2G for managing keyboard event propagation state between chrome process and IME process. Therefore, we can remove it now.

Keyboard scrolling works by first dispatching a key event to the focused element
of the page. It is then caught by a XBL binding put on the chrome event handler of
every window. The XBL binding searches through all of its handlers to find one
that can handle the keyboard event. The matching binding has a command string
which is dispatched to the nsGlobalWindowCommands which dispatches to PresShell
which does the actual scrolling.
To do this asynchronously, we need a representation of the XBL handlers that can
be applied to a KeyboardInput to get a KeyboardAction.
This commit adds KeyboardShortcut for this purpose. KeyboardShortcut is designed
to be compatible with nsXBLPrototypeHandler and to only handle the specific cases
we care about for keyboard scrolling. If a XBL handler runs javascript or does
anything else we cannot handle in an OMT situation, then we create a
dispatch-to-content KeyboardShortcut.

PBrowser::RequestNativeKeyBindings() is used only when somebody tries to
execute native key bindings for synthesized keyboard events. Therefore, it
doesn't need to retrieve edit commands for all editor types. Instead, it
should take the editor type and just return the edit commands for it.
MozReview-Commit-ID: HF4Gz99SBQP
Now, nsIWidget::ExecuteNativeKeyBinding() isn't used by anybody for executing
edit commands. Instead, they need array of edit commands for the key
combination. So, the method should be renamed to GetEditCommands() and just
return edit commands as an array.
MozReview-Commit-ID: 4G0B1lJ8Lbe
When eKeyPress event is dispatched from TabParent to a remote process, it
should store edit command for all editor types. Then, copied
WidgetKeyboardEvent in the remote process doesn't need to request the edit
commands when its ExecuteEditCommands() is called.
Note that this patch also changes a automated test, browser_bug1316330.js,
that uses nsIDOMWindowUtils.dispatchDOMEventViaPresShell() to dispatch
repeated keyboard events in the tab. However, it should use synthesizeKey()
to emulate everything of native keyboard events and the API can dispatch
repeated keyboard events too. (And the test has a bug. It tries to wait 0.5
sec when every keydown or keypress event. However, it fails since startTime
is never initialized. This patch fixes this bug too.)

Currently, edit commands for native key bindings are stored in widget. This is
stateful and really complicated in content process because it needs to cache
them.
We can make this simpler if we make WidgetKeyboardEvent store edit commands for
the key combination. Then, child process can handle it even if it's delayed
event or it's a nested event.
This patch adds arrays to WidgetKeyboardEvent to store edit commands which are
initialized with nsIWidget::ExecuteNativeKeyBinding() and adds
WidgetKeyboardEvent::ExecuteEditCommands() to execute stored edit commands as
same as nsIWidget::ExecutenativeKeyBinding().

If the remote process is busy or user restarts composition too quickly, there could be 2 or more compositions in ContentCache. For managing such case, ContentCacheInParent should manage the pending composition count which is increased at dispatching eCompositionStart event to the remote process and decreased at receiving eCompositionCommit(AsIs) event from the remote process.

This patch implements some helper methods to log constants related to event handling.
ToString(KeyNameIndex) and ToString(CodeNameIndex) converts the enum itmes to human readable string. They use WidgetKeyboardEvent's helper class which returns Unicode text. Therefore, this need to convert from UTF16 to UTF8. That's the reason why these methods don't return |const char*|.
GetDOMKeyCodeName(uint32_t) returns DOM keycode name if it's defined. Otherwise, returns hexadecimal value. For generating switch-case statement, VirtualKeyCodeList.h shouldn't include ",". Therefore, this patch removes "," from VirtualKeyCodeList.h and append it at defining NS_DEFINE_VK. Additionally, the last item of enum and array should not end with ",". Therefore, this adds dummy last item at each of them. Finally, some of the keyCode values are shared between 2 keys. Therefore, it needs to support NS_DISALLOW_SAME_KEYCODE for switch-case generator. See the comment in the file for more detail.
GetModifiersName(Modifiers) returns all modifier names included in the given value.

Native IME handler may want to query content relative to start of selection (or composition if there is it). Additionally, in e10s mode, insertion point in actual content may be different from the cache in parent. Therefore, in some cases, it does make sense to query content with offset relative to start of selection or composition.
This patch implements it simply and only in non-e10s mode.
Additionally, this fixes a bug of nsQueryContentEventResult::GetOffset() which hasn't been accepted its calls even if the event message is valid (eQueryTextContent, eQueryTextRect and eQueryCaretRect).

TextComposition needs to query first IME selection. Therefore, we need to add support to query special selection range with eQuerySelectedText.
First, WidgetQueryContentEvent::mInput should have mSelectionType which should be initialized with InitForQuerySelectedText() but unfortunately, there is no method for eQuerySelectedText. Therefore, this patch initializes WidgetQueryContentEvent::mInit::mSelectionType with SelectionType::eNormal in its constructor.
Next, ContentEventHandler needs to support to handle eQuerySelectedText with special selection types. However, we need to create 2 paths in some cases, one is for normal selection and the other is for special selections because there are no selection ranges may be usual case for special selections but not so for normal selection. Therefore, ContentEventHandler::InitCommon() becomes a little bit more complicated. ContentEventHandler::mSelection and ContentEventHandler::mFirstSelectedRange is initialized with the specified selection type but normal selection type is also necessary to compute the selection root since the selection root is computed from the first selected range which may not be anywhere if its selection type is not normal.
Finally, ContentEventHandler::OnQuerySelectedText() returns "there are no selections" as succeeded case in special selection type cases.

If a plugin process posts native key events to the widget, it needs to check if the key combination is reserved by chrome because if it's reserved by chrome, the reserved shortcut key handler should be executed and the event shouldn't be handled by the focused plugin.
This patches add eKeyDownOnPlugin and eKeyUpOnPlugin. nsXBLWindowKeyHandler will listen to them and handle them as normal keydown and keypress or keyup event. Note that these events won't be fired on content in the default event group and won't be sent to the remote process.
