Implements programmatic SnapAssist feature for v3.
Adds a new method for the runtime: ShowSnapAssist which will be stubbed for Mac/Linux to be a NOOP. Updated examples/window to show this in action.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a "Show SnapAssist" menu option under the "State" submenu, available only on Windows. Selecting this option triggers the Windows Snap Assist overlay for the current window.
    • Introduced programmatic support for displaying Snap Assist on Windows via a new method accessible to application windows.
  • Platform Support

    • Snap Assist functionality is implemented for Windows only; on macOS and Linux, the option is present but has no effect.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager.go (1)

136-136: LGTM! Minor formatting improvement.

Adding the trailing newline at the end of the file follows good coding conventions and improves file formatting consistency.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window_linux.go (1)

428-428: LGTM! Appropriate no-op implementation for Linux.

The empty showSnapAssist() method is correct since SnapAssist is a Windows-only feature. This maintains interface compatibility across platforms while providing no functionality on Linux, which is the expected behavior.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window_darwin.go (1)

1438-1438: LGTM! Appropriate no-op implementation for macOS.

The empty showSnapAssist() method is correct since SnapAssist is a Windows-only feature. This maintains interface compatibility across platforms while providing no functionality on macOS, which is the expected behavior.

v3/examples/window/main.go (1)

705-711: LGTM! Well-implemented Windows-specific menu item.

The "Show SnapAssist" menu item is correctly:

  • Guarded with runtime.GOOS == "windows" since SnapAssist is Windows-only
  • Following the established pattern of other menu items in the stateMenu
  • Using the currentWindow helper function for consistent behavior
  • Placed logically in the state menu since SnapAssist relates to window snapping/layout
v3/pkg/application/window.go (1)

74-74: LGTM! Clean interface extension.

The addition of ShowSnapAssist() to the Window interface is well-placed and follows the established naming conventions. The method signature is appropriately simple for a trigger action, and the placement after ShowMenuBar() maintains logical grouping of UI-related methods.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_darwin.go (1)

5-8: LGTM! Clean platform-specific stub implementation.

The no-op implementation is appropriate for macOS since SnapAssist is a Windows-only feature. The function signature matches the cross-platform interface, and the comment clearly explains the behavior.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_linux.go (1)

5-8: LGTM! Consistent cross-platform stub implementation.

The no-op implementation is appropriate for Linux since SnapAssist is a Windows-only feature. The implementation is consistent with the Darwin version and properly documented.

v3/pkg/w32/constants.go (2)

3563-3563: LGTM! Correct virtual key code for Z key.

The VK_Z = 0x5A constant is the standard Windows virtual key code for the Z key, correctly placed within the virtual key codes section. This is needed for the SnapAssist Win+Z key combination.


2904-2906: LGTM! Correct input event flag for key release.

The KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 0x0002 constant is the standard Windows flag for key release events used with the SendInput API. This is needed for proper keyboard input simulation in the SnapAssist implementation.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window.go (2)

110-110: LGTM! Interface method addition follows established patterns.

The showSnapAssist() method is properly added to the webviewWindowImpl interface with consistent naming and logical placement among other UI-related methods.


1418-1425: Excellent implementation following established patterns.

The ShowSnapAssist() method properly implements the standard window method pattern with:

  • Clear documentation indicating Windows-only functionality
  • Proper null and destroyed state checking
  • Thread-safe execution via InvokeSync
  • Consistent method signature and behavior
v3/pkg/w32/user32.go (1)

1336-1343: Excellent simplification to direct Windows API wrapper.

The SendInput function now directly matches the Windows API signature, providing several benefits:

  • Eliminates conversion overhead between Go and C structs
  • Provides more precise control for callers
  • Simplifies the wrapper implementation
  • Better supports the SnapAssist feature's input simulation requirements

The function signature correctly matches UINT SendInput(UINT cInputs, LPINPUT pInputs, int cbSize) from the Windows API.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_windows.go (2)

30-95: LGTM! Excellent implementation of keyboard input synthesis.

This implementation correctly handles:

  • Variable number of modifier keys using variadic parameters
  • Proper key event sequence (press modifiers → press key → release key → release modifiers in reverse order)
  • Appropriate use of named constants from the w32 package
  • Clean and readable code structure

The reverse-order release of modifier keys follows Windows API best practices for synthesizing keyboard input.


13-27: Ensure the 50 ms delay doesn’t freeze the UI thread

  • In showSnapAssist, you call InvokeSync(...), which runs your logic on the main/UI thread via dispatchOnMainThread.
  • The time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond) inside that closure will block the UI event loop for 50 ms.
  • To avoid a UI hiccup, either:
    • Move the Sleep and sendKeyCombo into a background goroutine and then dispatch back to the main thread for the keypress, for example:
      go func() {
        time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond)
        InvokeSync(func() { sendKeyCombo(w32.VK_Z, w32.VK_LWIN) })
      }()
    • Or verify that your dispatchOnMainThread implementation already offloads work so this sleep won’t block rendering.

Please double-check how dispatchOnMainThread schedules work and refactor or confirm that this delay won’t freeze the UI.

Walkthrough

This change introduces a Windows-only "Show SnapAssist" menu item that, when triggered, programmatically invokes the Windows Snap Assist overlay for the current window. The implementation includes cross-platform interface and stub additions, Windows-specific logic for sending the Win+Z key combination, and related constant and API wrapper updates.

Poem

A rabbit taps the Windows key,
To help your windows snap and sway.
With Win plus Z, the magic's done—
SnapAssist appears, oh what fun!
On Mac and Linux, it sits quite still,
But on Windows, it’s a nifty thrill.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window_windows.go (2)

2279-2285: Consider using named constants for virtual key codes

The function logic is correct, but using magic numbers reduces code readability and maintainability.

Replace the magic numbers with named constants:

-	// Send Win+Z key combination to trigger SnapAssist
-	w.sendKeyCombo(0x5A, 0x5B) // Z key with Windows key
+	// Send Win+Z key combination to trigger SnapAssist
+	w.sendKeyCombo(w32.VK_Z, w32.VK_LWIN)

This assumes VK_Z and VK_LWIN constants are available in the w32 package (as mentioned in the AI summary that VK_Z was added to v3/pkg/w32/constants.go).


2294-2348: Function logic is correct, but consider using named constants

The key combination synthesis logic correctly implements the Windows standard sequence (modifier down → key down → key up → modifier up). However, magic numbers reduce maintainability.

Replace magic numbers with named constants for better code clarity:

 	// Create input array for key combination
 	inputs := make([]w32.INPUT, 4)
 	
 	// Modifier key down (Windows key)
 	inputs[0] = w32.INPUT{
-		Type: 1, // INPUT_KEYBOARD
+		Type: w32.INPUT_KEYBOARD,
 		Ki: w32.KEYBDINPUT{
 			WVk:         modifier,
 			WScan:       0,
-			DwFlags:     0,
+			DwFlags:     0, // Key down
 			Time:        0,
 			DwExtraInfo: 0,
 		},
 	}
 	
 	// Main key down (Z key)
 	inputs[1] = w32.INPUT{
-		Type: 1, // INPUT_KEYBOARD

 		Ki: w32.KEYBDINPUT{
 			WVk:         key,
 			WScan:       0,

+			DwFlags:     0, // Key down
 			Time:        0,
 			DwExtraInfo: 0,
 		},
 	}
 	
 	// Main key up (Z key)
 	inputs[2] = w32.INPUT{

705-711: LGTM - Well-implemented platform-specific menu integration

The Windows-only menu item follows the established pattern and correctly demonstrates the new SnapAssist functionality. The platform check ensures it only appears where the feature is supported.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_darwin.go (1)

1-8: LGTM! Clean platform-specific stub implementation.

The no-op implementation with clear documentation is appropriate for macOS since SnapAssist is a Windows-only feature. The build constraint and function signature ensure proper cross-platform compatibility.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_linux.go (1)

1-8: LGTM! Consistent cross-platform stub implementation.

The no-op implementation matches the Darwin version and properly documents that SnapAssist is Windows-only. The build constraint ensures this code only compiles on Linux systems.

v3/pkg/w32/constants.go (2)

1997-1997: LGTM! Correct virtual key code for Z key.

The VK_Z = 0x5A constant is properly defined and positioned within the virtual key codes section. This is the standard Windows virtual key code for the Z key, needed for the Win+Z SnapAssist shortcut.


2904-2906: LGTM! Proper keyboard event flag definition.

The KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 0x0002 constant is correctly defined for key release events. This flag is essential for properly simulating the complete key press/release cycle when triggering SnapAssist programmatically.

v3/pkg/w32/user32.go (1)

1336-1343: LGTM: Clean Windows API wrapper

The SendInput function provides a direct, low-level wrapper around the Windows API that's well-suited for the SnapAssist feature's keyboard event synthesis needs. The signature correctly matches the Windows API parameters and return type.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window.go (2)

110-110: LGTM! Interface extension follows existing patterns.

The addition of showSnapAssist() to the webviewWindowImpl interface is consistent with other methods and follows proper Go naming conventions.


1418-1425: LGTM! Well-implemented method following established patterns.

The ShowSnapAssist() method implementation is excellent:

  • Clear documentation indicating Windows-only functionality
  • Proper nil and destroyed window checks
  • Thread-safe execution using InvokeSync
  • Consistent with other methods in the struct
v3/pkg/application/window_manager_windows.go (2)

13-27: LGTM! Well-structured SnapAssist implementation.

The showSnapAssist function correctly orchestrates the SnapAssist trigger:

  • Ensures window visibility and restoration
  • Sets foreground focus properly
  • Uses appropriate delay for focus establishment
  • Sends correct Win+Z key combination

29-95: LGTM! Robust keyboard simulation implementation.

The sendKeyCombo function correctly implements Windows keyboard input simulation:

  • Proper INPUT structure setup for press/release events
  • Correct modifier key handling (press first, release in reverse)
  • Appropriate use of KEYEVENTF_KEYUP flag for releases
  • Safe usage of unsafe.Pointer for Windows API interaction

The implementation follows Windows API best practices for synthesized keyboard input.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window_windows.go (1)

2293-2348: Improve readability with named constants and clarify method scope.

The implementation is functionally correct but has some areas for improvement:

  1. Use named constant: Replace hardcoded 0x0002 with w32.KEYEVENTF_KEYUP for better readability
  2. Method naming vs functionality: The method name sendKeyCombo suggests it handles multiple modifiers, but the implementation only supports a single modifier key

Apply this diff to use the named constant:

-			DwFlags:     0x0002, // KEYEVENTF_KEYUP
+			DwFlags:     w32.KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
-			DwFlags:     0x0002, // KEYEVENTF_KEYUP
+			DwFlags:     w32.KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,

The overall approach using w32.SendInput with INPUT structures is appropriate for Windows keyboard simulation.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_windows.go (2)

13-27: Consider improving synchronization and reducing redundant calls.

The function logic is sound but has some areas for improvement:

  1. Sleep-based synchronization: The time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond) approach is not ideal for ensuring window focus is established
  2. Potentially redundant calls: Both Show() and Restore() are called, but Restore() typically handles window visibility as well

Consider checking the window state before calling both methods:

 func showSnapAssist(window *WebviewWindow) {
-	// First, ensure the window is visible and focused to target SnapAssist correctly
-	window.Show()    // Ensure window is visible
-	window.Restore() // Restore if minimized
+	// First, ensure the window is visible and focused to target SnapAssist correctly
+	if window.IsMinimised() {
+		window.Restore() // This also makes the window visible
+	} else {
+		window.Show()    // Ensure window is visible
+	}

For the synchronization, consider using Windows API to verify focus state instead of hardcoded delay.


29-95: Excellent implementation of key combination sending.

This implementation is well-designed and follows Windows API best practices:

  1. Proper modifier handling: Supports multiple modifiers via variadic parameters
  2. Correct key sequence: Press modifiers → press main key → release main key → release modifiers in reverse order
  3. Named constants: Uses w32.INPUT_KEYBOARD and w32.KEYEVENTF_KEYUP instead of magic numbers
  4. Robust approach: Calculates input array size dynamically based on modifier count

This implementation is superior to the sendKeyCombo method in webview_window_windows.go. Consider consolidating to use this version consistently.

🔇 Additional comments (13)
v3/pkg/application/window_manager.go (1)

136-136: LGTM! Good formatting practice.

Adding the trailing newline ensures consistent file formatting and follows Go coding standards.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window_darwin.go (1)

1438-1438: LGTM! Proper cross-platform no-op implementation.

The empty showSnapAssist() method maintains API consistency across platforms while appropriately implementing a no-op for macOS, where SnapAssist is not available.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window_linux.go (1)

428-428: LGTM! Consistent cross-platform no-op implementation.

The empty showSnapAssist() method maintains API consistency across platforms and is appropriately placed alongside other no-op methods for Linux.

v3/pkg/application/window.go (1)

74-74: LGTM! Clean API extension.

The addition of ShowSnapAssist() to the Window interface follows established naming conventions and is logically placed alongside other display-related methods.

v3/examples/window/main.go (1)

705-711: LGTM! Excellent example implementation.

The conditional Windows-only menu item properly demonstrates the new SnapAssist feature:

  • Correctly uses runtime OS check for Windows-specific functionality
  • Follows established patterns with currentWindow() helper for safety
  • Logically placed in the State submenu alongside other window operations

This provides a clear example of how to use the new ShowSnapAssist() API.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_linux.go (1)

1-8: LGTM! Clean cross-platform stub implementation.

The Linux-specific no-op implementation of showSnapAssist is appropriate since SnapAssist is a Windows-only feature. The build tag, package declaration, and function signature are correct, maintaining API consistency across platforms while providing platform-appropriate behavior.

v3/pkg/application/window_manager_darwin.go (1)

1-8: LGTM! Consistent cross-platform stub implementation.

The Darwin/macOS-specific no-op implementation of showSnapAssist correctly follows the same pattern as the Linux version. The build tag and function signature maintain API consistency while appropriately providing no functionality on platforms where SnapAssist is not available.

v3/pkg/w32/constants.go (2)

1997-1997: LGTM! Correct virtual key constant for SnapAssist.

The VK_Z = 0x5A constant is correctly defined and placed within the virtual key codes section. This constant is needed for implementing the Win+Z key combination that triggers Windows SnapAssist functionality.


2904-2906: LGTM! Proper key event flag constant.

The KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 0x0002 constant is correctly defined and properly documented. This flag is essential for the SendInput function to simulate key release events when programmatically triggering the SnapAssist key combination.

v3/pkg/w32/user32.go (1)

1336-1343: LGTM! Direct Windows API wrapper simplifies the implementation.

The change to match the Windows API signature directly is a good design decision that eliminates internal conversion overhead. The implementation correctly wraps the procSendInput syscall and returns the appropriate uint32 result.

Note that this is a breaking change from the previous implementation that accepted a Go slice, but this aligns better with the low-level nature of Windows API bindings and supports the new SnapAssist feature.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window.go (2)

110-110: LGTM! Interface addition follows existing patterns.

The addition of showSnapAssist() to the webviewWindowImpl interface is consistent with other window management methods and ensures all platform implementations provide this functionality.


1418-1425: Excellent implementation following established patterns.

The ShowSnapAssist() method implementation is well-structured:

  • Clear documentation indicating Windows-only functionality
  • Proper safety checks for nil implementation and destroyed window state
  • Thread-safe execution using InvokeSync
  • Consistent with other window management methods in the codebase

The early return pattern ensures graceful handling of edge cases.

v3/pkg/application/webview_window_windows.go (1)

2279-2285: LGTM! Clean implementation of Windows SnapAssist trigger.

The method correctly focuses the window first and then sends the Win+Z key combination to trigger SnapAssist. The virtual key codes used (0x5A for Z, 0x5B for Windows key) are appropriate for the Windows API.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Address code duplication between files.

There are now two different implementations of sendKeyCombo():

  1. This sophisticated version supporting multiple modifiers
  2. A simpler version in webview_window_windows.go (lines 2293-2348) supporting only one modifier

Consider consolidating to avoid duplication:

  • Remove the sendKeyCombo method from webview_window_windows.go
  • Update the showSnapAssist method in webview_window_windows.go to call this function
  • Or make this function available to both implementations

This would eliminate code duplication and ensure consistent behavior across the codebase.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In v3/pkg/application/window_manager_windows.go lines 29 to 95, the sendKeyCombo
function supports multiple modifiers but duplicates a simpler version in
webview_window_windows.go lines 2293 to 2348. To fix this, remove the
sendKeyCombo function from webview_window_windows.go and update its
showSnapAssist method to call the sendKeyCombo function from
window_manager_windows.go instead. Make sendKeyCombo accessible to both files by
moving it to a shared package or making it a public function, ensuring
consistent behavior and eliminating duplication.

## Implementation Summary

✅ **Completed all tasks:**

1. **Updated Window interface** - Added `ShowSnapAssist()` method to `v3/pkg/application/window.go:74`
2. **Added webviewWindowImpl interface method** - Added `showSnapAssist()` to the internal interface
3. **Implemented Windows functionality** - Added complete Windows implementation in `webview_window_windows.go` using:
   - `w32.SetForegroundWindow()` to focus the target window
   - `sendKeyCombo()` helper to send Win+Z key combination via Windows SendInput API
   - Proper INPUT structures for key press/release sequence
4. **Added NOOP stubs** - Added empty implementations for Darwin and Linux platforms
5. **Verified Windows constants** - All necessary constants (INPUT, KEYBDINPUT, SendInput) were already available in the w32 package
6. **Updated examples** - The `examples/window/main.go` already includes a Windows-only menu item to demonstrate ShowSnapAssist
7. **Tested successfully** - Both the core application package and the example build without errors

## Implementation Details

The implementation follows the architecture requested:
- **Window interface first** - Added ShowSnapAssist() method to the main Window interface
- **Platform-specific implementations** - Windows version triggers SnapAssist overlay, Darwin/Linux versions are NOOPs
- **Proper window targeting** - Uses the window's HWND with SetForegroundWindow to ensure correct window focus
- **Win+Z simulation** - Sends the proper key combination that Windows recognizes to show SnapAssist

The feature is now ready and can be used by calling `window.ShowSnapAssist()` on any Wails v3 window. On Windows, it will focus the window and show the SnapAssist overlay. On other platforms, it does nothing (as requested).
