Extra wayland shell event loop and their iced bindings

We want to make program with iced for layershell and sessionlock, so we made this project.

Take winit as reference a lot, to make easilier program on layershell and ext-session-lock.

This project bind ext-session-lock and layershell with the similar way of winit, which storing message and handle it in callback

Here are five subprojects

waycrate_xkbkeycode

Take a lot of reference from winit (mainly from winit). Mainly handle the xkbcommon events.

layershellev

Winit like layershell event crate.

We use it make a virtual-keyboard program, please take a look at starcolorkeyboard. Next we will make the program with iced-layershell instead, to provide a more beautiful virtual-keyboard program.

sessionlockev

Winit like sessionlock event crate. It handles the sessionlock event, like lock and unlock, and provides base support for iced binding for sessionlock

iced-layershell

iced binding for layershell

Feature:

• support to open new layershell and support popup window.
• support ext-virtual-keyboard

With this crate, you can use iced to build your kde-shell, notification application, and etc.

iced-sessionlock

iced binding for sessionlock

Session lock is the wayland protocol for lock. This protocol is supported in river, sway and etc. We use it make a beautiful lock program in twenty. You can also use it to build your sessionlock. This will become very easy to use our crate with pam crate.
