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 $TERM will be 'foot-bananas'
- wayland-instance template target was a mistake.
Systemd does not support simultaneous same user session, so stop
trying to go against that.
- Only start systemd units in Wayland environments.
This patch assumes a git snapshot of wayland-protocols are
installed.
We need to bump the version number as soon as the next version of
wayland-protocols have been released.
This implements support for the new cursor-shape-v1 protocol. When
available, we use it, instead of client-side cursor surfaces, to
select the xcursor shape.
Note that we still need to keep client side pointers, for:
* backward compatibility
* to be able to "hide" the cursor
Closes#1379
This patch generalizes the utmp support, to not only support
libutempter, but also ulog (and in the future, even more interfaces).
* Rename config option main.utempter to main.utmp-helper
* Add meson option -Dutmp-backend=none|libutempter|ulog|auto
* Rename meson option -Ddefault-utempter-path to -Dutmp-default-helper-path
* utmp is no longer detected at compile time, but at runtime instead.
Meson will configure the following pre-processor macros, based on the
selected utmp backend:
* UTMP_ADD - argument to pass to utmp helper when adding a record (starting foot)
* UTMP_DEL - argument to pass to utmp helper when removing a record (exiting foot)
* UTMP_DEL_HAVE_ARGUMENT - if defined, UTMP_DEL expects an extra argument ($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
This patch adds support for creating utmp records using the ‘utempter’
helper binary from the ‘libutempter’ package.
* New config option ‘main.utempter’
* New meson command line option, -Ddefault-utempter-path. Defaults to
auto-detecting the path.
The default value of the new ‘main.utempter’ config option depends on
the meson command line option ‘-Ddefault-utempter-path’.
If ‘main.utempter’ is *not* set to ‘none’, foot will try to execute
the utempter helper binary to create utmp records when a new terminal
is instantiated. The record is removed when the terminal instance is
destroyed.
This mode is activated through the new key-bindings.unicode-input and
search-bindings.unicode-input key bindings.
When active, the user can “build” a Unicode codepoint by typing its
hexadecimal value.
Note that there’s no visual feedback in this mode. This is
intentional. This mode is intended to be a fallback for users that
don’t use an IME.
Closes#1116
This allows package maintainers to override the location to which our
systemd service files are installed.
It’s value is an *absolute* path, and *not* relative ${prefix}.
The default is ${systemduserunitdir}.
- foot.ini.5: mention location of example config file
- foot.1: replace outdated (or incomplete) information about the
location of the config file with references to foot.ini.5
- foot.1 and foot.ini.5: conform to scdoc specification, thus surround each
header with (at least) one blank line. additionally consistently use exactly
one line before/after each header (was sometimes two before)
- foot.1: some parts of the keybindings had their own section, move into
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS section
- foot.1: move EXIT STATUS section to the end where it is commonly found
- foot.1: copy information about config file handling from the beginning of
foot.ini.5 into the CONFIGURATION section of foot.1
- INSTALL.md: foot.ini is no longer included in the documentation
- meson.build: do not bundle foot.ini with documentation anymore, see also

Up until now, our Wayland seats have been tracking key bindings. This
makes sense, since the seat’s keymap determines how the key bindings
are resolved.
However, tying bindings to the seat/keymap alone isn’t enough, since
we also depend on the current configuration (i.e. user settings) when
resolving a key binding.
This means configurations that doesn’t match the wayland object’s
configuration, currently don’t resolve key bindings correctly. This
applies to footclients where the user has overridden key bindings on
the command line (e.g. --override key-bindings.foo=bar).
Thus, to correctly resolve key bindings, each set of key bindings must
be tied *both* to a seat/keymap, *and* a configuration.
This patch introduces a key-binding manager, with an API to
add/remove/lookup, and load/unload keymaps from sets of key bindings.
In the API, sets are tied to a seat and terminal instance, since this
makes the most sense (we need to instantiate, or incref a set whenever
a new terminal instance is created). Internally, the set is tied to a
seat and the terminal’s configuration.
Sets are *added* when a new seat is added, and when a new terminal
instance is created. Since there can only be one instance of each
seat, sets are always removed when a seat is removed.
Terminals on the other hand can re-use the same configuration (and
typically do). Thus, sets ref-count the configuration. In other words,
when instantiating a new terminal, we may not have to instantiate a
new set of key bindings, but can often be incref:ed instead.
Whenever the keymap changes on a seat, all key bindings sets
associated with that seat reloads (re-resolves) their key bindings.
Closes#931
- Support for multiples concurrent instances, templated on
WAYLAND_DISPLAY
- Use standard input for the socket file descriptor (inetd style)
- Always use the socket provided by systemd with the systemd user
service
- wayland-instance@.target is intended to be a special target a bit like
graphical-session.target.
Fcft no longer uses wchar_t, but plain uint32_t to represent
codepoints.
Since we do a fair amount of string operations in foot, it still makes
sense to use something that actually _is_ a string (or character),
rather than an array of uint32_t.
For this reason, we switch out all wchar_t usage in foot to
char32_t. We also verify, at compile-time, that char32_t used
UTF-32 (which is what fcft expects).
Unfortunately, there are no string functions for char32_t. To avoid
having to re-implement all wcs*() functions, we add a small wrapper
layer of c32*() functions.
These wrapper functions take char32_t arguments, but then simply call
the corresponding wcs*() function.
For this to work, wcs*() must _also_ be UTF-32 compatible. We can
check for the presence of the __STDC_ISO_10646__ macro. If set,
wchar_t is at least 4 bytes and its internal representation is UTF-32.
FreeBSD does *not* define this macro, because its internal wchar_t
representation depends on the current locale. It _does_ use UTF-32
_if_ the current locale is UTF-8.
Since foot enforces UTF-8, we simply need to check if __FreeBSD__ is
defined.
Other fcft API changes:
* fcft_glyph_rasterize() -> fcft_codepoint_rasterize()
* font.space_advance has been removed
* ‘tags’ have been removed from fcft_grapheme_rasterize()
* ‘fcft_log_init()’ removed
* ‘fcft_init()’ and ‘fcft_fini()’ must be explicitly called
The builtin terminfo is used by dcs.c, which is built as part of the
static library ‘vtlib’. Thus, vtlib needs to depend on the
builtin_terminfo target.
