Committed on 13/08/2025 at 21:06. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kicker: properly handle opposite-edge applets When kicker is placed on a right-edge panel in LtR or left-edge panel in RtL, it flips its arrangement partially to be in the opposite order. There are several good reasons for this, like keeping the search field in a consistent position, or matching the fact the direction that category popouts will open in. Kicker is not very good about rearranging things though - there are all sorts of visual and UX issues, such as the runner columns not being mirrored, so the search field is not actually in the column where space for it is left, covering the contents and leaving and empty space in a different column as well as not matching the width of the column it is in, broken arrow key navigation, inappropriate spacings and positions in some circumstances, and the popout indicator arrow not matching the direction the popout or keyboard navigation. This change solves these issues by also adjusting the order of the runner columns and fixing spacings, positioning, and arrow key navigation. This in turn requires some rather invasive changes throughout kicker, as the existing manual sizing calculations and positioning/spacing heavily relying on anchors are already unwieldy and error-prone when having a single layout direction – mixing layout directions makes the problems several times worse. Instead, where possible, we now use Layouts, automatic spacing, and implicit sizing calculations in the relevant parts of Kicker, simplifying the code and reducing the complexity of the internal dependencies. Along the way, we do some minor cleanups, such as switching a case of imperative assignment of signal handlers to a declarative one. A positive side-effect of having a simpler structure is that it resolves an unintended dependency between the visibility of the runner results and the favorites sidebar, resolving an otherwise unrelated bug.
