The current name causes people to think of scrolling, which is slightly awkward on E Ink. For example, see <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/5166#issuecomment-517771475>.
> But this on LCD, not E-ink where the lag is unbearable, especially if you want to correct any scrolling over/undershoot.
Scroll mode is a misnomer. It should be renamed continuous. I use "scroll mode" as the default, but I seldom or never scroll. Conversely, you can still scroll in paged mode if a page is longer than the screen. As far as I'm concerned if you're scrolling (panning) you may be doing it wrong, but to anyone reading: you do you. ;-)
This internal ButtonProgressWidget widget was behaving
differently from all others (OptionTextItem, OptionIconItem
and ToggleSwitch) by duplicating some code from
ConfigDialog:onConfigChoose() instead of calling it directly.
While making it similar to others, I noticed that onConfigChoose()
did a full repaint, which was necessary for some settings to
be applied (ie: Contrast).
On CreDocument, this full repaint may cause some double drawing
on config changes (ie: Margins, drawing once after margin changes,
and then re-positionning to previous xpointer).
So, make the need for full repaint a condition on KoptOptions.
* Enable HW dithering on supported devices (Clara HD, Forma; Oasis 2, PW4)
* FileManager and co. (where appropriate, i.e., when covers are shown)
* Book Status
* Reader, where appropriate:
* CRe: on pages whith image content (for over 7.5% of the screen area, should hopefully leave stuff like bullet points or small scene breaks alone).
* Other engines: on user-request (in the gear tab of the bottom menu), via the new "Dithering" knob (will only appear on supported devices).
* ScreenSaver
* ImageViewer
* Minimize repaints when flash_ui is enabled (by, almost everywhere, only repainting the flashing element, and not the toplevel window which hosts it).
(The first pass of this involved fixing a few Button instances whose show_parent was wrong, in particular, chevrons in the FM & TopMenu).
* Hunted down a few redundant repaints (unneeded setDirty("all") calls),
either by switching the widget to nil when only a refresh was needed, and not a repaint,
or by passing the appropritate widget to setDirty.
(Note to self: Enable *verbose* debugging to catch broken setDirty calls via its post guard).
There were also a few instances of 'em right behind a widget close.
* Don't repaint the underlying widget when initially showing TopMenu & ConfigDialog.
We unfortunately do need to do it when switching tabs, because of their variable heights.
* On Kobo, disabled the extra and completely useless full refresh before suspend/reboot/poweroff, as well as on resume. No more double refreshes!
* Fix another debug guard in Kobo sysfs_light
* Switch ImageWidget & ImageViewer mostly to "ui" updates, which will be better suited to image content pretty much everywhere, REAGL or not.
PS: (Almost 💯 commits! :D)
* Enforce a known rotation on startup, to make sure we handle touch input coordinates properly.
* Proper FrontLight warmth support (thanks to @cairnsh & @pazos in #4291)!
* Fix the PageTurn buttons mapping to match Nickel's defaults
* Properly remap PageTurn buttons depending on the current rotation.
* Actually enable the Mk.7 screen refresh codepath on *all* Mk.7 devices (I'd messed up the device check...).
* Full accelerometer handling (includes a touch of refactoring regarding orientation handling in general).
* Fix insidiously broken USBMS behavior in Nickel after we exit on FW >4.8.
Fix#4291Fix#3002
* [toggleswitch] Add support for key navigation to this widget
Add the onFocus an onUnfocus event handler
add a new function that just circle the switch if not touch event is
detected
* Add key navigation to the readermenu
The shortcut is still Alt-gr on sdl, to be defined on Kindle
* Remove the old method of handling the Press key.
Now the event is handled by the main widget who implement focusmanager
and then dispatched to the currently focused item.
Modify the fine font tuning only for non touch-devices

This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
