With both lasers on the keyboard SteamVR forwards per poll only one laser's movement, so the pressing one may get no touchmoves and its swipe became a tap. keyboard.vr.swipe.twoHanded (default on; turns on the controller bridge): a press is attributed to the hand whose laser hit is nearest to it (within 30 px, the trigger as a tiebreak; without recent frames the first frame after the press decides, within 60 px). The path comes from runs of one source: the touch's own moves while they flow, that hand's laser hit per bridge frame once they pause for 60 ms, touchmoves again if frames pause. A touchend disagreeing with the laser during a bridge run ends at the laser. Touchmoves on the other hand's laser move the attribution. Without fresh frames: touch events only, as before. A second press during a swipe stays Steam's tap (one text field, one word at a time). The bridge sends full rate only on demand now: hub.js demand(ms) goes back through the relay (CDP binding __sfuiCtlIn) to systemui's __sfuiCtl.demand; the swipe patch asks from the press to the release. Tests: gesture-input with the two-controller recording and synthetic bridge frames (a pressing hand without touchmoves, attribution with both lasers on the keyboard, a stale bridge, frames stopping mid-swipe, re-attribution, interleaved hover and presses); hub demand.

# Development
|
|
|
|
Which file does what and where it runs, for working on steam-frame-nix
|
|
itself. Writing your own patches: [UI patches](ui-patches.md).
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
|
|
- `modules/<name>.nix` is `homeManagerModules.<name>`; files only it uses
|
|
are in `modules/<name>/`.
|
|
- `patch.js` / `unpatch.js`: a runtime patch of a web page and the
|
|
expression that reverts it. A module with several patches has one
|
|
directory per patch (`launcher-menu/grid/`,
|
|
`vr-keyboard/suggestions-panel/`).
|
|
- `*.js` in `modules/` is browser JavaScript evaluated in Steam's or
|
|
SteamVR's pages (single expressions, no imports); `*.mjs` is a Node
|
|
program (user service, test or script).
|
|
- `check.nix` is the module's flake check (`nix flake check`, attribute
|
|
`checks.<system>.<name>`); `tests/*.test.mjs` are run by it.
|
|
- Runtime names (patch names, user services, state files) are listed
|
|
[below](#runtime-names); they stay stable when files move.
|
|
|
|
Where things run:
|
|
|
|
| Tag | Where |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **Steam** | Steam's UI, page `SharedJSContext`, DevTools `127.0.0.1:8080` |
|
|
| **SteamVR** | SteamVR's dashboard (`vrwebhelper`), page `systemui`, DevTools `127.0.0.1:8087` |
|
|
| **service** | systemd user service (outer Steam/VR session) |
|
|
| **switch** | Home Manager activation (`home-manager switch`) |
|
|
| **build** | Nix build time |
|
|
| **app** | started with an app (launcher, `LD_PRELOAD`, autostart) |
|
|
| **test** | `nix flake check` |
|
|
| **dev** | run by hand from a checkout |
|
|
|

## Runtime names
|
|
|
|
Patch names appear in the journal, key `signatures.json` and name the
|
|
state files (`~/.local/state/steam-frame-nix/ui-patches/<name>.json`), so
|
|
they are kept even where a file name says more:
