SDL2: Atlas text input broken

Reported by: historic_bruno Owned by: wraitii
Priority: Nice to Have Milestone: Alpha 24
Component: Atlas editor Keywords:
Cc: Patch: ​Phab:D2788

Description

Atlas uses wxWidgets to handle input, so it pumps simulated SDL events into the engine. With SDL1, it would use the "unicode" field of ​SDL_keysym for text input, but SDL2 completely changed how text input works. Now we'll need to simulate ​SDL_TextEditingEvents.

In 23926:

Fix issues relating to SDL and wxWidgets interaction in Atlas.

This fixes the transfer of key inputs from WxWidgets to SDL, making it possible to type in the in-game GUI from Atlas.

Also fixes whitespace issues in some Atlas files.

The following improvements are OSX specific:

  • fixes an SDL assertion related to unused subsystems in Atlas.
  • Remove the 'osxguiapplication' override. This fixes the editor starting up in the background and not accepting input when launched from in-game.
  • To prevent an issue with sdl/wxwidgets conflict when running from inside the game, actually boot a new instance (see #2427)
