 * @Short_description: Functions for handling input devices
 * @Long_description: In addition to a single pointer and keyboard for user interface input, GDK
 *                    contains support for a variety of input devices, including graphics tablets,
 *                    touchscreens and multiple pointers/keyboards interacting simultaneously with
 *                    the user interface. Under X, the support for multiple input devices is done
 *                    through the <firstterm>XInput 2</firstterm> extension, which also supports
 *                    additional features such as sub-pixel positioning information and additional
 *                    device-dependent information.
 * @Title: GdkDeviceManager
 * @See_also: #GdkDevice, #GdkEvent, gdk_enable_multidevice()
 *
 * By default, GDK supports the traditional single keyboard/pointer input scheme (Plus additional
 * special input devices such as tablets. In short, backwards compatible with 2.X). Since version 3.0,
 * if gdk_enable_multidevice() is called before gdk_display_open() and the platform supports it, GDK
 * will be aware of multiple keyboard/pointer pairs interacting simultaneously with the user interface.
 *
 * Conceptually, in multidevice mode there are 2 device types, virtual devices (or master devices)
 * are represented by the pointer cursors and keyboard foci that are seen on the screen. physical
 * devices (or slave devices) represent the hardware that is controlling the virtual devices, and
 * thus has no visible cursor on the screen.
 *
 * Virtual devices are always paired, there is a keyboard device for every pointer device,
 * associations between devices may be inspected through gdk_device_get_associated_device().
 *
 * There may be several virtual devices, and several physical devices could be controlling each of
 * these virtual devices. Physical devices may also be "floating", which means they are not attached
 * to any virtual device.
 *
 * By default, GDK will automatically listen for events coming from all master devices, setting the
 * #GdkDevice for all events coming from input devices
 * <footnote>
 *   Events containing device information are #GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY, #GDK_BUTTON_PRESS, #GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS,
 *   #GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS, #GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE, #GDK_SCROLL, #GDK_KEY_PRESS, #GDK_KEY_RELEASE,
 *   #GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY, #GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY, #GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE, #GDK_PROXIMITY_IN, #GDK_PROXIMITY_OUT,
 *   #GDK_DRAG_ENTER, #GDK_DRAG_LEAVE, #GDK_DRAG_MOTION, #GDK_DRAG_STATUS, #GDK_DROP_START,
 *   #GDK_DROP_FINISHED and #GDK_GRAB_BROKEN.
 * </footnote>
 * , although gdk_window_set_support_multidevice() has to be called on #GdkWindow<!-- --> in order to
 * support additional features of multiple pointer interaction, such as multiple, per-device enter/leave
 * events. The default setting will emit just one enter/leave event pair for all devices on the window.
 * See gdk_window_set_support_multidevice() documentation for more information.
 *
 * In order to listen for events coming from other than a virtual device, gdk_window_set_device_events()
 * must be called. Generally, this function can be used to modify the event mask for any given device.
 *
 * Input devices may also provide additional information besides X/Y. For example, graphics tablets may
 * also provide pressure and X/Y tilt information. This information is device-dependent, and may be
 * queried through gdk_device_get_axis(). In multidevice mode, virtual devices will change axes in order
 * to always represent the physical device that is routing events through it. Whenever the physical device
 * changes, the #GdkDevice:n-axes property will be notified, and gdk_device_list_axes() will return the
 * new device axes.
 *
 * Devices may also have associated <firstterm>keys</firstterm> or macro buttons. Such keys can be
 * globally set to map into normal X keyboard events. The mapping is set using gdk_device_set_key().
 *
 * In order to query the device hierarchy and be aware of changes in the device hierarchy (such as
 * virtual devices being created or removed, or physical devices being plugged or unplugged), GDK
 * provides #GdkDeviceManager. On X11, multidevice support is implemented through XInput 2. If
 * gdk_enable_multidevice() is called, the XInput 2.x #GdkDeviceManager implementation will be used
 * as input source, else either the core or XInput 1.x implementations will be used.
