This completely removes the tabspaces option from the Alacritty
configuration, due to frequent misuse of it. Based on some research,
none of the terminal emulators support setting the value for tabspaces
or read the terminfo to determine init_tabs value at startup. The tested
terminal emulators were URxvt, XTerm, and Termite.
This resolves an issue with tabs not breaking across line boundaries,
instead the characters would just all get written to the last column and
thus be lost.
It also tweaks the behavior of what happens when the terminal resizes
with the default tabspaces changed, using something like the `tabs`
program. Previously all tabstops would be reset to the default on
resize, which is what URxvt does. Now the tabspaces are kept and the new
columns are filled with the default tabstops, which emulates Termite.
Previously we were rounding pattern's `pixelsize` before `fc_sort`, however we were using not rounded one in `get_glyph`, so bitmap fonts could look a bit smaller when used in a mix with scalable fonts.
The block selection will now only insert extra newline characters after
each line if the last line isn't already included. This resolves an
issue with duplicate newlines, since newlines are automatically appended
when the last column is part of a selection.
Fixes#3304.
This resolves an issue in the parser where it would stop as soon as the
first unknown value is encountered in private mode/sgr attribute
escapes.
Fixes#3339.
This reverts commit 7f4dce2ee0.
Originally it was assumed that macOS always sends the \x7f on backspace
anyways, however this is not true. It seems like the character on
backspace can change even within the same terminal session, so we need
to have our own binding to reliably set the correct binding.
A solution for #1606 should be implemented in cooperation with winit.
Instead of trying to expand the start and end of a selection across
full-width glyphs, the selection should now only go from its origin to
the end without any kind of expansion.
Instead, the expansion is now done where the cells are actually checked
for their selection status, expanding across the entire full-width glyph
whenever any part of it is selected.
Fixes#3106.
Previous implementation was querying Fontconfig using `charset` in a pattern,
which was leading to unpredictable fallbacks in some cases, since Fontconfig
was picking the font with the most coverage for a given charset, regardless of
user configuration. Moreover all fallback was based on font_match which is
extremely slow for such performance sensitive task as a fallback, so alacritty
had a hard times on vtebench's unicode-random-write.
The new approach is to use some internal fallback list from font_sort
and iterate over it to get a proper fallback font, since it matches the
following example query from `fc-match`:
`fc-match -s "monospace:pixelsize=X:style=Y"
That being said it's more intuitive for users to setup their system Fontconfig
fallback, and also most applications are doing similar things. Moreover the new
implementation uses internal caches over Fontconfig API when possible and
performs font matches only once during load of requested font with font_sort,
which leads to dramatically improved performance on already mentioned
vtebench's unicode-random-write.

Since the expansion of the selection was done after clamping it to the
grid, the selection would incorrectly move the clamped start over by one
cell when the start was to the right of the original column. By
resetting the side of the start point to `Left` before expanding, this
can be circumvented.
This also resolves a regression which broke backwards bracket selection.
Fixes#3223.
Since the assumption is usually that bold text is drawn in bright
colors, this might break some applications. However some other terminals
have already taken this leap, which should lessen the impact for
Alacritty.
Since this might still be desired and necessary for certain
applications, the config option is just switched to draw with normal
colors by default, however the old behavior can still be restored.
Fixes#2779.
This change includes dynamic escape buffer support in VTE, which allows
us to have arbitrary escape sizes.
Since tmux could potentially use very long escapes for the clipboard
escape, this allows copying more text.
Fixes#1002.
This fixes various outdated links pointing to the old jwilm/alacritty
repository.
Since `copypasta` now has its own github repository at
https://github.com/alacritty/copypasta, the sources have been removed
from Alacritty.
This resolves the issue with full width glyphs getting rendered in the
last column. Since they need at least two glyphs, it is not possible to
properly render them in the last column.
Instead of rendering half of the glyph in the last column, with the
other half cut off, an additional spacer is now inserted before the wide
glyph. This means that the specific glyph in question is then three
cells wide.
Fixes#2385.
