how we should expose these is a good question.
I like the pattern in std of having the std::os module, which contains std::os::unix, std::os:windows, etcetera; I could imagine having something like that?
hmhm:
If we made the platform module public we could put these in the particular root modules of the specific platforms, but that might get a bit messy.
Maybe what I would prefer instead would be that we have an ext module, and then ext::linux? Another option would be to rename platform to backend or something, and then we could use platform for this, which feels like a better name...

I like platform::LinuxApplicationExt or platform::linux::LinuxApplicationExt. renaming existing platform to backend sound reasonable.
I would prefer shorter use statement:
use druid::shell::platform::LinuxApplicationExt;
over
use druid::shell::platform::linux::LinuxApplicationExt;

we could also have druid::platform::linux that reexports things from shell?
Now should we generally distinguish between platform::gtk and platform::x11?

I guess platform::linux::{GtkApplicationExt, X11ApplicationExt}. X11 and Wayland should be different though

Removed x11 impl for now because clipboard is changing in #1851 |
|
@maan2003 can we split this up, and do the 'platform -> backend' change as a single separate PR? |
|
Sure 👍 |

Is this 'linux' thing, or only a gtk thing?

this is a Linux thing

Is this a Linux thing? The primary selection (I wouldn't really call it "clipboard"...) is AFAIK an X11 thing and not implemented on Wayland. But my knowledge here might be out of date and I am too lazy to dig into Gtk's Wayland backend right now, so I am just leaving this as a comment here...

🤦♂️ I really forgot wayland's existence.

there is a unstable wayland protocol and is supported by gtk, qt and by kde plasma, gnome and sway, so 🤷♂️

@maan2003: I just realized something about this, and naming: basically I think this should just be called |

makes sense, will fix this soon |
