Reflowing a large scrollback is *slow*. During an interactive resize,
it can easily take long enough that the compositor fills the Wayland
socket with configure events. Eventually, the socket becomes full and
the compositor terminates the connection, causing foot to exit.
This patch is work-in-progress, and the first step towards alleviating
this.
It delays the reflow by:
* Snapshotting (copying) the original grid when an interactive resize
is started.
* While resizing, we apply a simple truncation resize of the
grid (like we handle the alt screen).
* When the resize is done, or paused for ‘resize-delay-ms’, the grid
is reflowed.
TODO: we *must* not allow any changes to the temporary (truncated)
grid during the resize. Any changes to the grid would be lost when the
final reflow is applied. That is, we must completely pause the ptmx
pipe while a resize is in progress.
Future improvements:
The initial copy can be slow. We should be able to avoid it by
rewriting the reflow algorithm to not free anything. This is
complicated by the fact that some resources (e.g. sixel images) are
currently *moved* to the new grid. They’d instead have to be copied.
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 is my variant of the solarized theme, were only the first eight
colors (i.e. the "normal") colors are from the solarized theme. The
remaining eight (the "bright" colors) are brightened versions of the
"normal" colors. This results in a theme that is usually in all
applications, not just those that are "aware" that the terminal color
theme is "solarized".
This adds an "underline-thickness" setting to the "main" section,
similar to the existing "underline-offset" setting. This setting is used
to specify a custom height for regular (= non-cursor) underlines.
Fixes#1136
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 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.

- 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
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/pulls/1015Closes#1002
This makes the example config `foot.ini` and its man page slightly more
coherent regarding the specification of default values.
Note that the cursor color is not hardcoded like e.g. foreground or
background, thus in the example config, `<inverse foreground/background>`
makes more sense.
These work as expected and don't interfere with anything else.
They are useful on the increasing number of keyboards with custom
firmware. The keycodes enable using the same key combination
for terminals as other apps.
For example: by holding down a layer-switching key with a thumb, the
Copy and Paste key codes can be assigned to the C and V keys on a secondary
layer, making for a natural universal copy/paste key combination.
This allows you to configure custom colors to be used when colors are
being dimmed (`\E[2m`).
It is implemented by color matching (just like
bold-text-in-bright=palette-based); the color-to-be-dimmed is matched
against the current color palette.
If it matches one of the regular colors (colors 0-7), the
corresponding “dim” color will be used.
If it matches one of the bright colors (colors 8-15), the
corresponding “regular” color will be used (but *only* if the “dim”
color has been set).
Otherwise, the color is dimmed by reducing its luminance.
The default behavior, i.e. when dim0-7 hasn’t been configured, is to
dim by reducing luminance for *all* colors. I.e. we don’t do any color
matching at all. In particular, this means that dimming a bright color
will *not* result in the corresponding “regular” color.
Closes#776
When we’re using CSDs, we’ve up until now rendered a 5px invisible
border. This border handles interactive resizing. I.e. hovering it
changes the mouse cursor, and mouse button events are used to start an
interactive resize.
This patch makes it possible to color part of (or the entire) border,
with a configurable color.
To facilitate this, two new options have been added:
* csd.border-width
* csd.border-color
border-width defaults to 0, resulting in the look we’re used to.
border-color defaults to the title bar color. If the title bar color
hasn’t been set, it defaults to the default foreground color (just
like the title bar color does).
This means that, setting border-width but not border-color, results in
a border that blends with the title bar.
This changes the default value of tweak.grapheme-shaping to “yes”,
thus enabling grapheme shaping by default.
It also changes the default value of tweak.grapheme-width-method to
“wcswidth”, for maximum compatibility with terminal applications.
foot doesn't show desktop notifications (via OSC777) if the current
terminal has keyboard focus.
This is probably a sane default, but there are use cases where showing
a notification regardless of the focus status may be desired. For
example, a completion notification of a long running task inside a
non-focused tmux window.
This PR adds the notify-focus-inhibit option which can be used to
disable inhibition of notifications when the window has focus.
The default value is `yes`, which retains the old behavior.
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).
