startupBound :: (MVar RawFrontend -> IO ()) -> IO RawFrontend

Start up a frontend on a bound thread.

In fact, it is started on the very main thread, via a hack, because apparently some SDL backends are not thread-safe (https://wiki.libsdl.org/FAQDevelopment; "this should only be run in the thread that initialized the video subsystem, and for extra safety, you should consider only doing those things on the main thread in any case") and at least the newer OS X obtusely requires the main thread, see https://github.com/AllureOfTheStars/Allure/issues/79 In case any other exotic architecture requires the main thread, we make the hack the default for all (on frontends that require a bound thread, e.g., SLD2).

createRawFrontend :: ScreenContent -> (SingleFrame -> IO ()) -> IO () -> IO RawFrontend

resetChanKey :: TQueue KMP -> IO ()

Empty the keyboard channel.

saveKMP :: RawFrontend -> Modifier -> Key -> PointUI -> IO ()

modifierTranslate :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool -> Bool -> Modifier

Translates modifiers to our own encoding.
