The WaylandSeat type provides access to different types of user input and maintains a keyboard focus and a mouse pointer. It corresponds to the wl_seat interface in the Wayland protocol.

Signal Documentation

void cursorSurfaceRequest(QWaylandSurface surface, int hotspotX, int hotspotY)

This signal is emitted when the client has requested for a specific surface to be the mouse cursor. For example, when the user hovers over a particular surface, and you want the cursor to change into a resize arrow.

Both hotspotX and hotspotY are offsets from the top-left of a pointer surface, where a click should happen. For example, if the requested cursor surface is an arrow, the parameters indicate where the arrow's tip is, on that surface.

Note: The corresponding handler is onCursorSurfaceRequest.


void keyboardFocusChanged(QWaylandSurface newFocus, QWaylandSurface oldFocus)

This signal is emitted when setKeyboardFocus() is called or when a WaylandQuickItem has focus and the user starts pressing keys.

newFocus has the surface that received keyboard focus; or nullptr if no surface has focus. oldFocus has the surface that lost keyboard focus; or nullptr if no surface had focus.

Note: The corresponding handler is onKeyboardFocusChanged.


Method Documentation

void sendKeyEvent(int qtKey, bool pressed)

Sends a key press (if pressed is true) or release (if pressed is false) event of a key qtKey to the keyboard device.


void sendTouchCancelEvent(WaylandClient client)

Sends a cancel event to the touch device of a client.


void sendTouchFrameEvent(WaylandClient client)

Sends a frame event to the touch device of a client to indicate the end of a series of touch up, down, and motion events.


void sendTouchPointMoved(WaylandSurface surface, int id, point position)

Sends a touch moved event for the touch point id on surface with position position.

Note: You need to send a touch frame event when you are done sending touch events.

Warning: This API should not be used in combination with forwarding of touch events using WaylandQuickItem::touchEventsEnabled, as it might lead to conflicting touch ids.

Returns the serial for the touch motion event.


uint sendTouchPointPressed(WaylandSurface surface, int id, point position)

Sends a touch pressed event for the touch point id on surface with position position.

Note: You need to send a touch frame event when you are done sending touch events.

Warning: This API should not be used in combination with forwarding of touch events using WaylandQuickItem::touchEventsEnabled, as it might lead to conflicting touch ids.

Returns the serial for the touch down event.


void sendTouchPointReleased(WaylandSurface surface, int id, point position)

Sends a touch released event for the touch point id on surface with position position.

Note: You need to send a touch frame event when you are done sending touch events.

Warning: This API should not be used in combination with forwarding of touch events using WaylandQuickItem::touchEventsEnabled, as it might lead to conflicting touch ids.

Returns the serial for the touch up event.
