Previously, we would assign dock elements a minimum width/height of 2
pixels so that we could detect when the mouse approached the edge of a
hidden dock in order to show the chevron buttons. This, however, was
causing confusion for users, who expected that extra space to be
clickable in order to scroll editors located in the center dock.
With this commit we will instead register a global `mousemove` event on
the window right when attaching the workspace element to the DOM (the
event handler is debounced, so this shouldn't have any performance
consequence). Then, when mouse moves, we will programmatically detect
when it is approaching to the edge of a dock and show the chevron button
accordingly. This allows us to remove the `min-width` property from the
dock container element, which eliminates the confusing behavior
described above.
Prior to this change, the following commands successfully move between
panes in the workspace center, but they could not move between the the
panes in the workspace center and panes in the docks:
- window:focus-pane-above
- window:focus-pane-below
- window:focus-pane-on-left
- window:focus-pane-on-right
- window:move-active-item-to-pane-above
- window:move-active-item-to-pane-below
- window:move-active-item-to-pane-on-left
- window:move-active-item-to-pane-on-right
- window:copy-active-item-to-pane-above
- window:copy-active-item-to-pane-below
- window:copy-active-item-to-pane-on-left
- window:copy-active-item-to-pane-on-right
This commit updates these commands to work across all visible panes,
regardless of whether the pane is in the workspace center or a dock.
Summary of approach:
- Add tests for the `nearestVisiblePaneInDirection`, which provides the
core logic for the higher-level methods like `focusPaneViewAbove`,
`moveActiveItemToPaneAbove`, `focusPaneViewOnLeft`, etc.
- Test the generic logic extensively (i.e., the logic that is
independent of whether the given pane resides in the workspace
center or a dock)
- Also test the navigation between docks and the workspace center
- Since the core logic is tested in the new tests above, simplify the
tests for the higher-level methods (e.g., `focusPaneViewAbove`,
`moveActiveItemToPaneAbove`, `focusPaneViewOnLeft`) to avoid
unnecessary duplication.
- Add `nearestVisiblePaneInDirection` to `WorkspaceElement`, implemented
in terms of the existing `nearestPaneInDirection` method on
`PaneContainerElement` for now.
In preparation for providing directional pane navigation that goes
beyond the currently-active pane container, this commit:
- Moves the existing directional pane movement specs out of the
PaneContainerElement specs and into the WorkspaceElement specs
- Adjusts the specs to perform all set-up in terms of the workspace, as
opposed to manually constructing a PaneContainer.
