Ilya Kamenko 8dd25ece10 Fold hold-to-scroll into existing scroll button lock mode
Instead of adding a new ENABLED_HOLD enum value, modify the existing
ENABLED lock mode so that hold+scroll+release doesn't engage the lock.

Add a 500ms grace period: if the button was held and used to scroll for
longer than 500ms, releasing the button does not engage the lock
(temporary scroll). If released within 500ms (e.g. shaky hands
triggering accidental motion), the lock still engages as before.

This fixes the unintuitive behavior where the lock engages even after
actively scrolling, without requiring new API surface.

libinput

libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.

libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

User documentation

Documentation explaining features available in libinput is available here.

This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.
