The zsh completion name for the deb installer has been corrected.
The installation instructions for the zsh completions have also been
updated to make it possible to install them without root permissios.
Set `COLORTERM` to `truecolor` in order for applications to be able to
detect that alacritty supports 24-bit colors.
See https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 for more details.
Closes#1526.
Fixes a regression on non-macOS platforms caused by the fix for
issue #1291. The fix is to follow platform norms for mouse click
behavior on unfocused terminals. On macOS, the first click (that
gives the window focus) is swallowed, and has no effect on the
terminal. On all other platforms, the first click is passed through
to the terminal.
Since Alacritty does not require the AUR anymore, its mention has been
removed from the README.
To make future changes simpler, the README has also been reworded so
less changes are required for adding new operating systems.
* Change deb installation from crates.io to git
There have been a number of issues an PRs opened since
the cargo-deb installation does not work with the latest
version from crates.io.
To help out users until the crates.io version is updated,
the installation instructions have been temporarily
changed to install `cargo-deb` through github.
* Revert cargo-deb install back to use crates.io
Since `cargo-deb` has been updated on crates.io it is now
possible to just install it from crates.io and build Alacritty's
deb without having to rely on github.
* Update dependencies
This fixes an `illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)`
error when building in release mode.
* Remove redundant copy when selecting font_key
* Bump version number to 0.2.0
Since the Scrollback branch introduces some major changes, this bumps
the version number from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0.
The versions of Alacritty have not been updated regularly to this point,
so the scrollback branch is a good point in time to start updating
Alacritty's version on a regular basis.
Further changes to the readme, like dropping the 'alpha' status and
updating it to 'beta' could also be introduced with this branch. This
way there will be a clean cut which updates everything as soon as
scrollback is merged.
Building versions is another thing which would be a good thing to start
reasonably quickly. However starting this on the main branch after
scrollback has been merged seems like a more reliable way to move
forward.
This fixes#1240.
* Add a CHANGELOG file
A CHANGELOG file has been added to offer a bit more transparency over
which features have been changed, added and potentially removed in
Alacritty.
There are various formats available for the CHANGELOG file but the most
common and sensible one seems to be the one defined by
https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0. Following the template proposed by
this it should be possible to create a clear CHANGELOG which makes it
simple for new contributors to figure out exactly which formatting
should be used for it.
Since there have been quite a few changes to Alacritty already, not all
changes have been added to the changelog. However a few entries have
been ported just to give a bit of an example what the format should look
like. This also helps with the 0.2.0 version since it will not be
completely empty in the changelog.
This fixes#1534.
* Update CHANGELOG
This updates the CHANGELOG to include the changes introduced by
43882ade33.
The IL escape sequence (CSI Ps L) allows inserting blank, uninitialized
lines. `Ps` is a placeholder for the number of lines that should be
inserted. Before this change Alacritty would crash when a large number
of lines was passed as `Ps` parameter.
The issue was caused whenever the current line of the cursor plus the
lines that should be inserted would leave the bottom of the terminal,
since this makes indexing impossible.
This patch makes sure that the biggest amount of lines inserted does
never exceed the end of the visible region minus the current line of the
curser, which fixes the underflow issue.
This fixes#1515.
The clearing the screen for the `ansi::ClearMode::Saved` enum value
has been implemented. This is used to clear all lines which are
currently outside of the visible region but still inside the scrollback
buffer.
The specifications of XTerm indicate that the clearing of saved lines
should only clear the saved lines and not the saved lines plus the
currently visible part of the grid. Applications like `clear` send both
the escape for clearing history plus the escape for clearing history
when requested, so all sources seem to agree here.
To allow both clearing the screen and the saved lines when a key is
pressed the `process_key_bindings` method has been altered so multiple
bindings can be specified. So it is now possible to execute both `^L`
and `ClearHistory` with just a single binding. The
`process_mouse_bindings` method has also been changed for consistency.
To make sure everything works properly a test has been added which
clears the history and then attempts to scroll. Since scrolling is the
only way for a user to check if scrollback is available, this seems like
a nice abstraction to check if there is a scrollback.
Since Alacritty never had any scrollback history, the behavior when the
window height was increased was to just keep the prompt on the same line
it has been before the resize. However the usual behavior of terminal
emulators is to keep the distance from the prompt to the bottom of the
screen consistent whenever possible.
This fixes this behavior by loading lines from the scrollback buffer
when the window height is increased. This is only done when scrollback
is available, so there are only N lines available, the maximum amount of
lines which will be loaded when growing the height is N. Since the
number of lines available in the alternate screen buffer is 0, it still
behaves the same way it did before this patch.
Different terminal emulators have different behaviors when this is done
in the alt screen buffer, XTerm for example loads history from the
normal screen buffer when growing the height of the window from the
alternate screen buffer. Since this seems wrong (the alt screen is not
supposed to have any scrollback), the behavior of Termite (VTE) has been
chosen instead.
In Termite the alt screen buffer never loads any scrollback history
itself, however when the terminal height is grown while the alternate
screen is active, the normal screen's scrollback history lines are
loaded.
This fixes#1502.
When running bash and executing `echo -ne '\033c'`, the terminal should
be cleared. However there was an issue with the visible area not being
cleared, so all the text previously printed would still remain visible.
To fix this, whenever a `reset` call is received now, the complete
visible area is reset to `Cell::default()` (the default Cell) and the
length of the available scrollback history is reset to `0`, which
results in the scrollback history being cleared from the perspective of
the user.
This fixes#1483.
Since `cargo-deb` has been updated on crates.io it is now
possible to just install it from crates.io and build Alacritty's
deb without having to rely on github.
This has been disabled temporarily to improve compile times, however
there were some performance regressions caused by this change.
Since this only affects release compiles and performance is a high
priority for Alacritty, LTO has been enabled again.
There have been a number of issues an PRs opened since
the cargo-deb installation does not work with the latest
version from crates.io.
To help out users until the crates.io version is updated,
the installation instructions have been temporarily
changed to install `cargo-deb` through github.
* Allow disabling DPI scaling
This makes it possible to disable DPI scaling completely, instead the
the display pixel ration will always be fixed to 1.0.
By default nothing has changed and DPI is still enabled, this just seems
like a better way than running `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR=1.0 alacritty` every
time the user wants to start alacritty.
It would be possible to allow specifying any DPR, however I've decided
against this since I'd assume it's a very rare usecase. It's also still
possible to make use of `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR` to do this on X11.
Currently this is not updated at runtime using the live config update,
there is not really much of a technical limitation why this woudn't be
possible, however a solution for that issue should be first added in
jwilm/alacritty#1346, once a system is established for changing DPI at
runtime, porting that functionality to this PR should be simple.
* Add working --class and --title CLI parameters
* Reduce Increase-/DecreaseFontSize step to 0.5
Until now the Increase-/DecreaseFontSize keybinds hand a step size of 1.0. Since the font size however is multiplied by two to allow more granular font size control, this lead to the bindings skipping one font size (incrementing/decrementing by +-2).
To fix this the step size of the Increase-/DecreaseFontSize bindings has been reduced to the minimum step size that exists with the current font configuration (0.5). This should allow users to increment and decrement the font size by a single point instead of two.
This also adds a few tests to make sure the methods for increasing/decreasing/resetting font size work properly.
* Add Copy/Cut/Paste keys
This just adds support for the Copy/Cut/Paste keys and sets up
Copy/Paste as alternative defaults for Ctrl+Shift+C/V.
* Move to cargo clippy
Using clippy as a library has been deprecated, instead the `cargo
clippy` command should be used instead. To comply with this change
clippy has been removed from the `Cargo.toml` and is now installed with
cargo when building in CI.
This has also lead to a few new clippy issues to show up, this includes
everything in the `font` subdirectory. This has been fixed and `font`
should now be covered by clippy CI too.
This also upgrades all dependencies, as a result this fixes#1341 and
this fixes#1344.
* Override dynamic_title when --title is specified
* Change green implementation to use the macro
* Ignore mouse input if window is unfocused
* Make compilation of binary a phony target
* Add opensuse zypper install method to readme
* Fix clippy issues
* Update manpage to document all CLI options
The introduction of `--class` has added a flag to the CLI without adding
it to the manpage. This has been fixed by updating the manpage.
This also adds the default values of `--class` and `--title` to the CLI
options.
* Remove unnecessary clippy lint annotations
We moved to "cargo clippy" in 5ba34d4f97 and
removing the clippy lint annotations in `src/lib.rs` does not cause any additional warnings.
This also changes `cargo clippy` to use the flags required for checking integration tests.
* Enable clippy in font/copypasta crates
Enabled clippy in the sub-crates font and copypasta. All issues
that were discovered by this change have also been fixed.
* Remove outdated comment about NixOS
* Replace debug asserts with static_assertions
To check that transmutes will work correctly without having to rely on
error-prone runtime checking, the `static_assertions` crate has been
introduced. This allows comparing the size of types at compile time,
preventing potentially silent breakage.
This fixes#1417.
* Add `cargo deb` build instructions
Updated the `Cargo.toml` file and added a `package.metadata.deb`
subsection to define how to build a debian "deb" install file using
`cargo deb`. This will allow debian/ubuntu users to install `alacritty`
using their system's package manager. It also will make it easier to
provide pre-built binaries for those systems.
Also fixed a stray debug line in the bash autocomplete script that was
writting to a tempfile.
* Add config for unfocused window cursor change
* Add support for cursor shape escape sequence
* Add bright foreground color option
It was requested in jwilm/alacritty#825 that it should be possible to
add an optional bright foreground color.
This is now added to the primary colors structure and allows the user to
set a foreground color for bold normal text. This has no effect unless
the draw_bold_text_with_bright_colors option is also enabled.
If the color is not specified, the bright foreground color will fall
back to the normal foreground color.
This fixes#825.
* Fix clone URL in deb install instructions
* Fix 'cargo-deb' desktop file name
* Remove redundant dependency from deb build
* Switch from deprecated `std::env::home_dir` to `dirs::home_dir`
* Allow specifying modifiers for mouse bindings
* Send newline with NumpadEnter
* Add support for LCD-V pixel mode
* Add binding action for hiding the window
* Switch to rustup clippy component
* Add optional dim foreground color
Add optional color for the dim foreground (`\e[2m;`)
Defaults to 2/3 of the foreground color. (same as other colors).
If a bright color is dimmed, it's displayed as the normal color. The
exception for this is when the bright foreground is dimmed when no
bright foreground color is set. In that case it's treated as a normal
foreground color and dimmed to DimForeground.
To minimize the surprise for the user, the bright and dim colors have
been completely removed from the default configuration file.
Some documentation has also been added to make it clear to users what
these options can be used for.
This fixes#1448.
* Fix clippy lints and run font tests on travis
This fixes some existing clippy issues and runs the `font` tests through travis.
Testing of copypasta crate was omitted due to problens when running on headless travis-ci environment (x11 clipboard would fail).
* Ignore errors when logger can't write to output
The (e)print macro will panic when there is no output available to
write to, however in our scenario where we only log user errors to
stderr, the better choice would be to ignore when writing to stdout or
stderr is not possible.
This changes the (e)print macro to make use of `write` and ignore
any potential errors.
Since (e)println rely on (e)print, this also solves potential failuers
when calling (e)println.
With this change implemented, all of logging, (e)println and (e)print
should never fail even if the stdout/stderr is not available.
There is an issue where the terminal would use the template cell to fill
new space after resizing the terminal. However this leads to issues
since the template cell is not always empty and thus can create some
blocks of color appearing out of nowhere.
This should fix this problem by always initializing cells with the
default cell after resizing.
The (e)print macro will panic when there is no output available to
write to, however in our scenario where we only log user errors to
stderr, the better choice would be to ignore when writing to stdout or
stderr is not possible.

This fixes#1448.
There were some unneeded codeblocks and TODO/XXX comments in the code
that have been removed. All issues marked with TODO/XXX have either been
already resolved or tracking issues exist.
It was requested in jwilm/alacritty#825 that it should be possible to
add an optional bright foreground color.
This is now added to the primary colors structure and allows the user to
set a foreground color for bold normal text. This has no effect unless

Also fixed a stray debug line in the bash autocomplete script that was
writting to a tempfile.
The scroll history size for the alternative grid (used by fullscreen
apps such as vim and tmux) is now forced to zero. There are two
motivations for this change:
1. According to the literature, the alt screen should not have scroll
history.
2. Reduce memory consumption by only allocating the single scroll
history.
In the future, it may be desirable to support a configuration option to
enable a scroll buffer for the alt screen. By launching without this
feature, we can delay a decision about whether to officially support
this or not.
Previously the cell side of a selection with the mouse outside of the
grid has been calculated by setting the `Side` to `Right` whenever the
`X` of the mouse is bigger or equal to `window_width - padding_x`.
However since the grid doesn't perfectly fit the window in most cases,
there was an additional few pixels where the `Side` would be `Left`,
resulting in the selection jumping around.
To fix this the additional padding due to not perfectly fitting window
size has been included in the calculation. The `X` position is now
checked to be bigger or equal to `width - padding_x - extra_padding_x`.
An important note is that this will need changing when the grid is
centered inside the window, so extra padding is split up evenly. Once
that change is merged the calculation required will be
`width - padding_x - extra_padding_x / 2.`.
This fixes#1412.
To check that transmutes will work correctly without having to rely on
error-prone runtime checking, the `static_assertions` crate has been
introduced. This allows comparing the size of types at compile time,
preventing potentially silent breakage.
This fixes#1417.
There have been two instances of the scrollback trying to access indices
which were moved out of bounds due to new lines (`yes` command). These
have both been fixed.
The first instance was during semantic selection, since the logic of
limiting the selection start point was moved outside of `compute_index`,
it was necessary to add this to semantic selection too. Now semantic
selection, line selection and normal selection should all work without
crashing when new lines are shoving the selection out of bounds.
The other error was with the viewport being outside of the scrollback
history. Since the default is to keep the scrollback buffer at its
current position when new lines are added, it is possible that the
position the scrollback buffer is at is suddenly shoved out of the
visible area. To fix this the `display_offset` is now limited to always
be an allowed value.
If a single line of the viewport is moved out of the history now, the
viewport should move down a single line now, so only valid content is
displayed, with multiple lines this process is repeated.
This fixes#1400.
There was another error where the iterator would attempt to iterate
before the first line in the history buffer, this was because the bounds
of the `prev` iterator weren't setup correctly. The iterator should now
properly iterate from the first cell in the terminal until the last one.
This also fixes#1406, since these semantic selection errors were
partiall related to indexing.
We moved to "cargo clippy" in 5ba34d4f97 and
removing the clippy lint annotations in `src/lib.rs` does not cause any additional warnings.
This also changes `cargo clippy` to use the flags required for checking integration tests.
