From the release notes:
system bell - allowing e.g. terminal emulators to hand off system
bell alerts to the compositor for among other things accessibility
purposes
The new protocol is used when the new config option
bell.system=yes (and the compositor implements the protocol,
obviously).
The system bell is rung independent of whether the foot window has
keyboard focus or not (thus relying on compositor configuration to
determine whether anything should be done or not in response to the
bell).
The new option is enabled by default.
A compositor will not send a frame callback for our main window if it
is fully occluded (for example, by a fully opaque overlay...). This
causes the overlay to stuck.
For regular buffers, it _should_ be enough to *not* hint the
compositor it's opaque. But at least some compositor special cases
single-pixel buffers, and actually look at their pixel value.
Thus, we have two options: implement frame callback handling for the
overlay sub-surface, or ensure we don't use a fully opaque
surface. Since no overlays are fully opaque by default, and the flash
surface is the only one that can be configured to be
opaque (colors.flash-alpha), and since adding frame callback handling
adds a lot of boilerplate code... let's go with the simpler solution
of
This implements part of the new 's' (sound) parameter; the 'silent'
value. When s=silent, we set the ${muted} template argument to
"true". It is intended to set the 'suppress-sound' hint:
notify-send --hint BOOLEAN:suppress-sound:${muted}
This avoids the need for an unused third argument for most xstrjoin()
calls and replaces the cases where it's needed with a more flexible
function. Code generation is the same in both cases, when there are 2
string params and a compile-time known delimiter.
This commit also converts 4 uses of xasprintf() to use xstrjoin*().

* Don't store a list of unfinished notifications. Use a single one. If
the notification ID of the 'current' notification doesn't match the
previous, unfinished one, the 'current' notification replaces the
previous one, instead of updating it.
* Update xstrjoin() to take an optional delimiter (for example ','),
and use that when joining categories and 'alive IDs'.
* Rename ${action-arg} to ${action-argument}
* Update handling of the 'n' parameter (symbolic icon name); the spec
allows it to be used multiple times, and the terminal is supposed to
pick the first one it can resolve. Foot can't resolve icons at all,
neither can 'notify-send' or 'fyi' (which is what foot typically
executes to display a notification); it's the notification daemon that
resolves icons.
The spec _could_ be interpreted to mean the terminal should lookup
.desktop files, and use the value of the 'Icon' key from the first
matching .desktop files. But foot doesn't read .desktop files, and I
don't intend to implement XDG directory scanning and parsing of
.desktop files just to figure out which icon to use.
Instead, use a simple heuristics; use the *shortest* symbolic
names. The idea is pretty simple: plain icon names are typically
shorter than .desktop file IDs.
First, icons have been finalized in the specification. There were only
three things we needed to adjust:
* symbolic names are base64 encoded
* there are a couple of OSC-99 defined symbolic names that need to be
translated to the corresponding XDG icon name.
* allow in-band icons without a cache ID (that is, allow applications
to use p=icon without having to cache the icon first).
Second, add support for the following new additions to the protocol:
* 'f': custom app-name, overrides the terminal's app-id
* 't': categories
* 'p=alive': lets applications poll for currently active notifications
* 'id' is now 'unset' by default, rather than "0"
* 'w': expire time (i.e. notification timeout)
* "buttons": aka actions. This lets applications add additional (to
the terminal defined "default" action) actions. The 'activated' event
has been updated to report which button/action was used to activate
the notification.
To support button/actions, desktop-notifications.command had to be
reworked a bit.
There's now a new config option:
desktop-notifications.command-action-arg. It has two template
arguments ${action-name} and ${action-label}.
command-action-arg gets expanded for *each* action.
${action-name} and ${action-label} has been replaced by ${action-arg}
in command. This is a somewhat special template, in that it gets
replaced by *all* instances of the expanded actions.
Add a new config option, desktop-notifications.close, defining what to
execute to close a notification. It has a single template parameter,
${id}, that is expanded to the external notification ID foot may have
picked up from the notification helper.
notify-send does not support closing notifications, and it appears
impossible to pass an *unsigned* integer as argument to gdbus. Hence
no default value for the new 'close' option.
Example:
printf '\e]99;i=123;this is a notification\e\\'
printf '\e]99;i=123:p=close;\e\\'
Split it up into two, ${action-name} and ${action-label}.
Dunstify, for example, has a different syntax compared to notify-send:
notify-send: default=foobar
dunstify: default,foobar
Only do it when the notification was activated.
Here, activated means the 'click to activate' notification action was
triggered.
How do we tie everything together?
First, we add a new template parameter, ${action}. It's intended to be
used with e.g. notify-send's --action option.
When the action is triggered, notify-send prints its name on stdout,
on a separate line. Look for this in stdout. Only if we've seen it do
we focus/report the notification.
This patch adds support for window focusing, and sending events back
to the client application when a notification is closed.
* Refactor notification related configuration options:
- add desktop-notifications sub-section
- deprecate 'notify' in favor of 'desktop-notifications.command'
- deprecate 'notify-focus-inhibit' in favor of
'desktop-notifications.inhibit-when-focused'
* Refactor: rename 'struct kitty_notification' to 'struct
notification'
* Pass a 'struct notification' to notify_notify(), instead of many
arguments.
* notify_notify() now registers a reaper callback. When the notifier
process has terminated, the notification is considered closed, and we
either try to focus (activate) the window, or send an event to the
client application, depending on the notification setting.
* For the window activation, we need an XDG activation token. For now,
assume *everything* written on stdout is part of the token.
* Refactor: remove much of the warnings from OSC-99; we don't
typically log anything when an OSC/CSI has invalid values.
* Add icon support to OSC-99. This isn't part of the upstream
spec. Foot's implementation:
- uses the 'I' parameter
- the value is expected to be a symbolic icon name
- a quick check for absolute paths is done, and such icon requests
are ignored.
* Added ${icon} to the 'desktop-notifications.command' template. Uses
the icon specified in the notification, or ${app-id} if not set.
This adds limited support for OSC-99, kitty desktop notifications[^1]. We
support everything defined by the "protocol", except:
* 'a': action to perform on notification activation. Since we don't
trigger the notification ourselves (over D-Bus), we don't know a)
which ID the notification got, or b) when it is clicked.
* ... and that's it. Everything else is supported
To be explicit, we *do* support:
* Chunked notifications (d=0|1), allowing the application to append
data to a notification in chunks, before it's finally displayed.
* Plain UTF-8, or base64-encoded UTF-8 payload (e=0|1).
* Notification identifier (i=xyz).
* Payload type (p=title|body).
* When to honor the notification (o=always|unfocused|invisible), with
the following quirks:
- we don't know when the window is invisible, thus it's treated as
'unfocused'.
- the foot option 'notify-focus-inhibit' overrides 'always'
* Urgency (u=0|1|2)

BTN_BACK and BTN_FORWARD are separate buttons. The scroll wheel don't
have any button mappings in libinput/wayland, so make up our own
defines.
This allows us to map them in mouse bindings.
Also expose BTN_WHEEL_{LEFT,RIGHT}. These were already defined, and
used, internally, to handle wheel tilt events. With this, they can
also be used in mouse bindings.
Finally, fix encoding used for BTN_{BACK,FORWARD} when sending mouse
button events to the client application. Before this, they were mapped
to buttons 4/5. But, button 4/5 are for the scroll wheel, and as
mentioned above, BTN_{BACK,FORWARD} are not the same as scroll wheel
"buttons".
Closes#1763
This option controls how we render the cursor when the terminal window
is unfocused.
Possible values are:
* hollow: the default, and how we rendered the cursor before this
patch.
* unchanged: render the cursor exactly the same way as when the window
is focused.
* none: do not render any cursor at all
Closes#1582
When erroring out due to a key combo being "empty", we incorrectly
tried to free one key binding. This is because 'used_combos' is
initialized to '1'. And it should, but an empty key binding is a
special case.
Fixes a test failure, and closes#1620
That is, allow custom modifiers (i.e. other than ctrl/shift/alt etc)
in key bindings.
This is done by no longer validating/translating modifier names to
booleans for a pre-configured set of modifiers (ctrl, shift, alt,
super).
Instead, we keep the modifier *names* in a list, in the key binding
struct.
When a keymap is loaded, and we "convert" the key binding, _then_ we
do modifier translation. For invalid modifier names, we print an
error, and then ignore it. I.e. we no longer fail to load a config due
to invalid modifier names.
We also need to update how we determine the set of significant
modifiers. Any modifier not in this list will be ignored when matching
key bindings.
Before this patch, we hardcoded this to shift/alt/ctrl/super. Now, to
handle custom modifiers as well, we simply treat *all* modifiers
defined by the current layout as significant.
Typically, the only unwanted modifiers are "locked" modifiers. We are
already filtering these out.
When cloning a config struct, the env_vars tllist wasn't correctly
copied. We did correctly iterate and duplicate all old entries, but we
did *not* reset the list in the cloned struct before doing so.
This meant the list contained entries shared with the original list,
causing double free:s in --server mode.
conf file descriptor is closed once again during cleanup at the end of
config_load() if descriptor >= 0. avoid double closing by assigning
negative value to fd after first close.
by the time second close happens some other descriptor might be opened
reusing previous number ie it might happen during foot server startup
when syslog message is logged between one close and the other. in this
particular situation, as of this writing, it considers fd=3 for which
following events apply:
1. conf file is opened and fclosed()
2. warning is logged with syslog which leads to opening socket to
/dev/log which is kept open by glibc (gets fd=3)
3. second close during config_load() closes /dev/log socket descriptor
4. epoll_create() in fdm.c reuses fd=3 again
5. another message is being logged with syslog. glibc notices sendto()
failure on saved /dev/log descriptor hence it closes it and opens
new one
Due to epoll descriptor closure foot starts a chain of errors that
lead to startup failure.
Fixes#1531
Reject color values that aren't in either RGB, or ARGB format. That
is, color values that aren't hexadecimal numbers with either 6 or 8
digits.
Also, if a color value is allowed to have an alpha component, and the
user left it out, default to 0xff (opaque) rather than 0x00 (fully
transparent).
Closes#1526
This patch adds the following new search key bindings:
* extend-char (shift+right)
* extend-line-down (shift+down)
* extend-backward-char (shift+left)
* extend-backward-to-word-boundary (ctrl+shift+left)
* extend-backward-to-next-whitespace (ctrl+shift+alt+left)
* extend-line-up (shift+up)
They can be used to extend the search match (i.e. the selection).
This patch also adds an initial set of key bindings to scroll in the
scrollback history:
* scrollback-up-page
* scrollback-down-page
These work just like the key bindings for the normal mode. Also note
that it was already possible to scroll using the mouse.
This patch also fixes a couple of search mode bugs:
* crashing when a search match ends in the last column
* grapheme clusters not being matched correctly
* Search match not being "extendable" after a pointer leave event
* A few others, related to either large matches, or extending matches
after moving the viewport.
There are still a couple of (known) issues:
* A search match isn't correctly highlighted if its *starting* point
is outside the viewport.
* Extending the match to end of the scrollback (i.e. the most recent
output) is simply buggy.

Previously, foot -a test wouldn't actually set the app ID if there was
no config file and the defaults were used, which was very
counterintuitive.
Now, load_config() will carry on until the end, even if there's no
config file, so overrides still work.
This patch changes the default of triple clicking, from selecting the
current logical row, to first trying to select the contents of the
quote under the cursor, and if failing to find a quote, selecting the
current row (like before).
This is implemented by adding a new key binding, 'select-quote'.
It will search for surrounding quote characters, and if one is found
on each side of the cursor, the quote is selected. If not, the entire
row is selected instead.
Subsequent selection operations will behave as if the selection is
either a word selection (a quote was found), or a row selection (no
quote found).
Escaped quote characters are not supported: "foo \" bar" will match
'foo \', and not 'foo " bar'.
Mismatched quotes are not custom handled. They will simply not match.
Nested quotes ("123 'abc def' 456") are supported.
Closes#1364
Un-grabbed wheel events are now passed through the mouse binding
matching logic, instead of being hardcoded to scrolling the terminal
contents.
They are mappable through the BTN_BACK and BTN_FORWARD buttons.
Since they're not actually button *presses*, they never generate a
click count other than 1. This limitation is documented, but not
checked in the config. This means it's possible to create bindings
like "BTN_BACK+3" (i.e. triple "click"). They will however never
trigger.
The old, hardcoded logic is now accessible through the new
scrollback-up-mouse and scrollback-down-mouse mouse
bindings. They (obiously) default to BTN_BACK and BTN_FORWARD,
respectively.
Example usage: keep the default of scrolling terminal contents with
the wheel, when used without modifiers, but map Control+wheel to font
zoom in/out:
[mouse-bindings]
font-increase=Control+BTN_FORWARD
font-decrease=Control+BTN_BACK
(this also keeps the default key bindings to zoom in/out; ctrl-+ and
ctrl+-)
Closes#1077
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.
Closes#1434
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
