Patrick McDavidandClaude Opus 5.5 6fb168a8b8 Lazy susan: Meta+Alt+Tab spins the panels around you
- ft-screens "spin next|prev|<degrees>": every unpinned screen and
  floating window turns together about a vertical axis through your
  head (0.3 s, eased), so the next panel on the right or left comes to
  straight ahead; the arrangement stays as it is. Taps during a spin
  add to it, from where the panels are headed; grabbing a panel or
  placing it (ft-layout, ft-floatd) takes it out of the spin
- when a spin settles, the panel in front gets the pointer (recenter),
  typing (as after a click), and KWin's active window: its floating
  window, or the top window on a screen (ft-floatd "front N", the KWin
  script's activate-output). KWin's outputs follow the screens'
  new places (ft-layout scale), as after a move
- the input relay: spin_next and spin_prev actions, Meta+Alt+Tab and
  Meta+Alt+Shift+Tab by default; Frametop Input Settings lists them.
  Not Meta+Tab: that's Cmd+Tab on a Mac reached through a remote
  desktop like RustDesk, and the relay would take the Mac's app
  switcher. Meta+Alt+Tab (Cmd+Option+Tab) is unused on macOS,
  Windows, and KDE

Used on the Frame (SteamOS 0.3.0 build 20260922) with one screen and
three or four floating windows, through RustDesk to a Mac.

// frametop-float: the KWin side of floating windows (see docs/floating-windows.md). ft-floatd
// loads it into the desktop's KWin over D-Bus (org.kde.kwin.Scripting) and talks to it:
// - events go to ft-floatd as JSON strings (org.frametop.Float.Event), for the windows it
// cares about: floating windows (the ones on a spare output, WL-<screens> and up), their
// popups and dialogs, new windows, and requests to float or dock one;
// - commands come back through a long poll: the script calls NextCommand, ft-floatd
// answers when it has one (or after a while with nothing), and the script calls again.
// KWin scripts can call D-Bus but can't serve it, hence the poll. Window ids are KWin's
// internalId (a UUID string).
