This defines the base name of the generated terminfo files. It
defaults to the value of -Ddefault-terminfo (i.e. 'foot')
Example:
meson -Ddefault-terminfo=foot-bananas -Dterminfo-base-name=foot-apples
The generated terminfo files will be
* terminfo/f/foot-apples
* terminfo/f/foot-apples-direct
The default value of $TERM will be 'foot-bananas'
By how much to increase the luminance when brightening bold
fonts. This was previously hard-coded to a factor of 1.3, which is now
the default value of the new config option.

Monitor DPI depends on information from both the wl_output and the
xdg_output interfaces.
Before this patch, terminals were only updated after changes to the
wl_output interfaces (thus depending on xdg output changes being
pushed by the compositor before wl_output changes).
That assumption (xdg_output happening before wl_output) isn’t always
true.
This patch fixes the issue by updating the terminals in the
xdg_output’s “done” event.
Closes#1431
The wayland protocol recommends (or mandates?) that compositors render
a black background behind fullscreened transparent windows. I.e. you
never see what’s _actually_ behind the window.
So, if you have a white, but semi-transparent background in foot,
it’ll be rendered in a shade of gray.
Given this, it’s better to simply disable transparency while we’re
fullscreened. That way, we at least get the "correct" background
color.
Closes#1416
This fixes a crash-on-exit on compositors that emit a _"keyboard
leave"_ event when a surface is unmapped.
In our case, destroying the window (where we unmap it) in
term_destroy(), lead to a crash in term_mouse_grabbed(), due to
key_binding_for() returning NULL.
The call chain in this is case is, roughly:
term_destroy() ->
wayl_win_destroy() ->
keyboard_leave() ->
term_xcursor_update_for_seat() ->
term_mouse_grabbed()
When enabled, double-clicking the CSD titlebar will (un)maximize the
window.
Defaults to ‘yes’ (since this is the old hard-coded behavior).
Closes#1293
When the user has configured custom cursor colors (cursor.color is set
in foot.ini), don’t invert those colors when the cell is either
selected, or has the ‘reverse’ attribute set.
This aligns foot’s behavior with Alacritty, Kitty and Wezterm. Contour
also behaves similarly, except mouse selections override the cursor
colors (turning the cursor invisible).
Closes#1347
Having a keybinding to invoke arbitrary unicode characters is very
useful. It's often used as a method of last resort to communicate with
people outside of your main language. For example, if you want to type
the last letter of my real name, you can invoke the latin-1 character
0xe9 or unicode 0x00e9.
You can also use this to type special characters, for example, unicode
U+1F4A9 is of course, the infamous PILE OF POO, which is sure to
produce million laughs everywhere you go.
In foot, there's no keybinding by default to invoke the very useful
unicode-input command. There is no "standard" (as in "ISO") keybinding
this either. But there *is* a de-facto standard currently deployed
by *both* GTK and Qt (a rare feat) *and* Chrome OS (an even rarer
feat) and it's control-shift-u.
Alternatives include Control-x 8 (emacs), Control V u (vim),
Alt (Windows, LibreOffice), or Option (Mac). I doubt we want to adopt
any of those.
So let's use control-shift-u for this. Unfortunately, it's currently
assigned to show-urls-launch, which is unfortunate, but
insurmountable. We can reassign this keybinding elsewhere. I have
picked control-shift-o in my configuration, because "o" is a good
mnemonic for "open URLs". Others have suggested "m" instead.
Closes: #1183
This implements support for the new cursor-shape-v1 protocol. When
available, we use it, instead of client-side cursor surfaces, to
select the xcursor shape.
Note that we still need to keep client side pointers, for:
* backward compatibility
* to be able to "hide" the cursor
Closes#1379
Before this patch, when the cell dimensions changed (i.e. when the
font size changes), sixel images were either removed (the new cell
dimensions are smaller than the old), or simply kept at their original
size (new cell dimensions are larger).
With this patch, sixels are instead resized. This means a
sixel *always* occupies the same number of rows and columns,
regardless of how much the font size is changed.
This is done by maintaining two sets of image data and pixman images,
as well as their dimensions. These two sets are the new ‘original’ and
‘scaled’ members of the sixel struct.
The "top-level" pixman image pointer, and the ‘width’ and ‘height’
members either point to the "original", or the "scaled" version.
They are invalidated as soon as the cell dimensions change. They, and
the ‘scaled’ image is updated on-demand (when we need to render a
sixel).
Note that the ‘scaled’ image is always NULL when the current cell
dimensions matches the ones used when emitting the sixel (to save
run-time memory).
Closes#1383
That is, parse P1 when initializing a new sixel, and don’t ignore
pad/pad in the raster attributes command.
The default aspect ratio is 2:1, but most sixels will override it in
the raster attributes command (to 1:1).
This adjusts the logic that positions the text cursor after emitting a
sixel, when sixel scrolling mode is *enabled*.
We’ve always mimicked XTerm’s behavior. However, XTerm recently
changed its behavior, to better match that of an VT382.
Now, the cursor is placed *on* the last row of the sixel, instead of
on a new row after the sixel.
This allows applications to print sixels to the bottom row of the
terminal, without causing the content to scroll.
Finally, there was a bug in the horizontal positioning of the cursor;
it was placed on the *first* column of the row, instead of on the
first column of the sixel.
We don’t need to record scroll damage if the viewport isn’t at the
bottom, since in this case, the renderer ignores the scroll damage
anyway.
This fixes a performance corner case, when the viewport is at the top
of the scrollback history.
When application scrolls the terminal contents, and the scrollback
history is full, and the viewport is at top of the history, then the
viewport needs to be moved (the scrollback history is a circular
buffer, and thus the top of the history “moves” when we’re scrolling
in new contents).
Moving the viewport typically results in another type of scroll
damage (DAMAGE_SCROLL_IN_VIEW, instead of the “normal” DAMAGE_SCROLL).
Thus, each application triggered scroll, will result in two scroll
damage records: one DAMAGE_SCROLL, and one
DAMAGE_SCROLL_IN_VIEW. These two are incompatible, meaning they can’t
be merged. What’s worse, it also means the DAMAGE_SCROLL records from
two application triggered scrolls cannot be merged (since there’s a
DAMAGE_SCROLL_IN_VIEW in between).
As a result, the renderer will not see one, or “a few” scroll damage
events, but a *ton*. _Each_ one typically a single line, or so. And
each one resulting in lots of traffic on the wayland socket, as we
create and destroy new buffer pools, when doing “shm scrolling”.
This eventually leads to the socket not being able to keep up, and the
socket is closed on us, forcing us to exit.
The fix is really simple: don’t record “normal” scroll damage when
scrolling, _unless_ the viewport is at the bottom (and thus “follows”
the application output).
As soon as the user scrolls up in the history, we’ll stop emitting
normal scroll damage records. This is just fine, since, as mentioned
above, the renderer ignores them when the viewport isn’t at the
bottom.
What if the viewport is moved back down again, before the next frame
has been rendered? Wont there be “missing” scroll damage records? No,
because moving the viewport results in scroll damage records by
itself.
Closes#1380
When doing an interactive resize, and `resize-delay-ms` > 0 (the
default), we would crash if the original screen size (i.e. the size
before the interactive resize started) was larger than the last window
size.
For example, if we interactively go from 85 rows to 75, and then
non-interactively went from 75 to 80, we’d crash.
The resizes had to be made in a single go. One way to trigger this was
to start an interactive resize on a floating window, and then *while
resizing* toggle the window’s floating mode.
Closes#1377
When background alpha is changed at runtime (using OSC-11), we (may)
have to update the opaque hint we send to the compositor.
We must also update the subpixel mode used when rendering font
glyphs.
Why?
When the window is fully opaque, we use wl_surface_set_opaque_region()
on the entire surface, to hint to the compositor that it doesn’t have
to blend the window content with whatever is behind the
window. Obviously, if alpha is changed from opaque, to transparent (or
semi-transparent), that hint must be removed.
Sub-pixel mode is harder to explain, but in short, we can’t do
subpixel hinting with a (semi-)transparent background. Thus, similar
to the opaque hint, subpixel antialiasing must be enabled/disabled
when background alpha is changed.
For this to work, the default app-id of footclient has been changed
from ‘foot’ to ‘footclient’.
By using distinct StartupWMClasses, the compositor can connect a
running foot/footclient instance to the correct .desktop-file. This
ensures the correct icon is being used in e.g. docks, and that actions
like “open another window” works correctly.
Note that the user can override the app-id, either by setting app-id
in foot.ini, or with the -a,--app-id command line option.
Closes#1355
This patch generalizes the utmp support, to not only support
libutempter, but also ulog (and in the future, even more interfaces).
* Rename config option main.utempter to main.utmp-helper
* Add meson option -Dutmp-backend=none|libutempter|ulog|auto
* Rename meson option -Ddefault-utempter-path to -Dutmp-default-helper-path
* utmp is no longer detected at compile time, but at runtime instead.
Meson will configure the following pre-processor macros, based on the
selected utmp backend:
* UTMP_ADD - argument to pass to utmp helper when adding a record (starting foot)
* UTMP_DEL - argument to pass to utmp helper when removing a record (exiting foot)
* UTMP_DEL_HAVE_ARGUMENT - if defined, UTMP_DEL expects an extra argument ($WAYLAND_DISPLAY)
* UTMP_DEFAULT_HELPER_PATH - path to the default utmp helper binary
The documentation has been updated to mention which arguments are
passed to the helper binary.
Closes#1314
Foot’s policy is to not set environment variables that identifies
it (except the well-known and established `TERM` variable).
We encourage applications to use terminfo to determine capabilities,
or terminal queries, when available. Or, at least use terminal queries
to detect the terminal and its version.
Setting environment variables is a bad idea since they are inherited
by all applications started by the terminal (which is the whole
point). But, this includes other terminal emulators, making it very
possible a terminal emulator gets mis-detected just because it was
started from another terminal.
Since there are a couple of terminal emulators that _do_ set
TERM_PROGRAM and TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION, unset these environment
variables to avoid being misdetected.
Closes#1349
The original kitty keyboard specification allowed F3 to emit either
CSI R, or CSI 13~.
Support for CSI R was removed in later revisions of the protocol,
since it collides with "Cursor Position Report" sequences.
If we had a non-empty bottom scroll region, and the window was resized
to a smaller size, the scroll region was not reset correctly.
This led to a crash when scrolling the screen content.
Fix by making sure the scroll region’s endpoint is within range.
At least Gnome needs this in order to link running instances of foot
to their corresponding .desktop file, used e.g. when determining which
icon to display for running applications.
Closes#1317
