This adds support for a new OSC escape sequence: OSC 176, that lets
terminal programs tell the terminal the name of the app that is
running. foot then sets the app ID of the toplevel to that ID,
which lets the compositor know which app is running, and typically
sets the appropriate icon, window grouping, ...

We now default to scaling fonts using the scaling factor, not monitor
DPI.
The ‘auto’ value for dpi-aware has been removed.
Documentation (man pages and README) have been updated to reflect the
new default.
This patch adds support for the OSC-133;A sequence, introduced by
FinalTerm and implemented by iTerm2, Kitty and more. See
https://iterm2.com/documentation-one-page.html#documentation-escape-codes.html.
The shell emits the OSC just before printing the prompt. This lets the
terminal know where, in the scrollback, there are prompts.
We implement this using a simple boolean in the row struct ("this row
has a prompt"). The prompt marker must be reflowed along with the text
on window resizes.
In an ideal world, erasing, or overwriting the cell where the OSC was
emitted, would remove the prompt mark. Since we don't store this
information in the cell struct, we can't do that. The best we can do
is reset it in erase_line(). This works well enough in the "normal"
screen, when used with a "normal" shell. It doesn't really work in
fullscreen apps, on the alt screen. But that doesn't matter since we
don't support jumping between prompts on the alt screen anyway.
To be able to jump between prompts, two new key bindings have been
added: prompt-prev and prompt-next, bound to ctrl+shift+z and
ctrl+shift+x respectively.
prompt-prev will jump to the previous, not currently visible, prompt,
by moving the viewport, ensuring the prompt is at the top of the
screen.
prompt-next jumps to the next prompt, visible or not. Again, by moving
the viewport to ensure the prompt is at the top of the screen. If
we're at the bottom of the scrollback, the viewport is instead moved
as far down as possible.
Closes#30
We now bind ctrl+v, ctrl+shift+v, ctrl+y and XF86Paste to pasting from
the clipboard into the scrollback search buffer.
Why all these? Because we can, and because all are common shortcuts
for pasting:
* ctrl+v: “normal” apps use this by default
* ctrl+shift+v: used in terminals (including foot)
* ctrl+y: Emacs
* XF86Paste: special keyboard key, for pasting
With dpi-aware=auto (the default), scale fonts using DPI *only*
if *all* available monitors have a scaling factor of one.
The idea is this: if a user, with multiple monitors, have enabled
scaling on *at least* one monitor, he/she has most likely done so to
match the size of his/hers other monitors.
For example, if the user has one monitor with a scaling factor of one,
and another one with a scaling factor of two, he/she expects things to
be twice as large on the second monitor.
If we (foot) scale using DPI on the first monitor, and using the
scaling factor on the second monitor, foot will *not* look twice as
big on the second monitor (this was the old behavior of
dpi-aware=auto).
Part of #714
The text was describing the original behavior, where output scaling
was completely ignored, and tacked on a “btw, starting with
foot-1.6...”.
Now, simply describe the current behavior, and be more clear about
_how_ dpi-aware can be changed.
