ncurses on FreeBSD still uses termcap(5) while foot works fine with
xterm-256color sans status line and visible bell. Having more than
one ncurses version installed may break other applications.
Document -Dterminfo=false uses --term=xterm-256color by default
If the value is specified without a unit, then the value is assumed to
be in points, subject to DPI scaling.
The value can optionally have a ‘px’ suffix, in which case the value
is treated as a raw pixel count.
0, the default, means no additional spacing; the cell width is defined
by the font metrics.
A positive value *adds* to the width from the font metrics, while a
negative value *subtracts*.
When set, the grid contents is centered in the window. I.e. the
left/right and top/bottom margins are equal (+- 1px).
This causes the content to “jump” while doing an interactive resize,
but may still be preferred in e.g. a tiling WM.
Closes#273
This extends the new ‘dpi-aware’ option with a new default value,
‘auto’.
When set to ‘auto’, fonts are sized using monitors’ DPI when output
scaling is disabled. When output scaling is enabled, fonts are instead
sized using the scaling factor.
The reasoning here is that a user that has enabled output scaling is
obviously *not* relying on DPI scaling.
Output scaling can also be a way to compensate for different viewing
distances, in which case we do *not* want to break that by using DPI
scaling.
Users can still force DPI-only font sizing by setting ‘dpi-aware=yes’,
or disable it completely by setting ‘dpi-aware=no’.
OSC 777 is URxvt’s generic escape to send commands to its perl
extensions. The first parameter is the name of the extension, followed
by its arguments.
OSC 777;notify is a, if not well established, at least a fairly well
known escape sequence to request a (desktop) notification. The syntax
is:
\e]777;notify;<title>;<body>\e\\
Neither title nor body is escaped in any way, meaning they should not
contain a ‘;’.
Foot will split title from body at the *first* ‘;’. Any remaining ‘;’
characters are treated as part of ‘body’.
Instead of adding built-in support for the freedesktop notification
specification (which would require us to link against at least dbus),
add a new config option to foot.ini: ‘notify’.
This option specifies the command to execute when a notification is
received. ‘${title}’ and ‘${body}’ can be used anywhere, in any
combination, and as many times as you want, in any of the command
arguments.
The default value is ‘notify-send -a foot -i foot ${title} ${body}’
Previously, foot would not accept the following:
[key-bindings]
minimize=Escape
minimize=Escape
Now it does. I.e. key combos in the action being updated are ignored
when detecting collisions.
The example above is contrived; a real world example could be to
remove certain combos from an action with multiple combos; perhaps to
free up a combo for another action. Example:
[search-bindings]
cancel=Escape
This would previously cause an error since `cancel=Control+g Escape`
by default.
Closes#233
When disabled, foot no longers uses outputs’ DPI to scale the
font. Instead, it uses the outputs’ scaling factor.
That is, instead of appending “:dpi=123” to the fontconfig string,
modify the “:pixelsize” or “:size” attribute.
Closes#206
These bindings copy from the clipboard or primary selection into the
search buffer.
Default bindings:
* clipboard-paste: ctrl+v, ctrl+y
* primary-paste: shift+insert
These options lets the user configure custom fonts and styles, to use
with the bold and italic cell attributes.
By default, they are unset, meaning we use the bold/italic variants of
the regular font.
Closes#169.
When csd.preferred == none, we will request CSDs from the compositor,
but internally render as if we are using SSDs. That is, we don’t
render any window decorations at all.
Note that some compositors may ignore our request to use CSDs, and
still render SSDs for us.
Closes#163
This option lets the user configure which characters act as word
delimiters when selecting text.
This affects both “double clicking”, and ‘ctrl-w’ in scrollback search
mode.
Closes#156
Add anew config option, ‘bell=none|set-urgency’. When set to
‘set-urgency’, the margins will be painted in red (if the window did
not have keyboard focus).
This is intended as a cheap replacement for the ‘urgency’ hint, that
doesn’t (yet) exist on Wayland.
Closes#157
When we detected an invalid section name, we correctly logged this and
warned the user.
However, the internal state machine now had an invalid section enum
value. This caused a crash when the next key/value pair was to be
parsed and we tried to lookup which parser function to call.
Closes#159.
Use the new fcft_set_scaling_filter() API to use a non-default scaling
filter.
By default, we use lanczo3, the ‘best’ filter. This overrides the
default in fcft, which is ‘cubic’ filtering.
This deprecates/renames scrollback-up/down to scrollback-up/down-page.
It also renames scrollback-up/down-half to
scrollback-up/down-half-page, and adds the new bindings
scrollback-up/down-line.
