Ncurses does some special handling for backspace, normally comparing it
to the KEY_BACKSPACE constant. However to make this work, the right
backspace escape sequence needs to be set in the terminfo.
XTerm has this set to ^H, but it always sends ^H. Since Alacritty
usually sends ^? instead, this needs to be specified to allow correct
interpretation for ncurses.
This reworks the selection logic to prevent any possible index out of
bounds exceptions by clamping the start and end points before doing
anything else with them when converting selections to spans.
This also fixes a bug where semantic selections would not automatically
expand across double-width characters.
Fixes#2486.
While Gentoo was listed in the table of contents of the INSTALL.md, the
instructions to install the build dependencies were missing.
This adds the emerge command necessary to install all dependencies of
Alacritty (other than Rust) so building from source without the overlay
is possible.
This is a large refactor of the config parsing structure, attempting to
reduce the size of the file a bit by splitting it up into different
modules with more specific purposes.
This also fixes#2279.
This resolves permission failures when modifying root-owned files
and such, e.g., modifying /etc/hosts. It had been possible
to work around this by adding alacritty to the set of
applications with "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences. macOS
now opens a prompt to confirm permission with a new installation.
This fixes#2337.
On macOS the clipboard actually returns an error when loading it and it
is empty. However this is not an `Empty` error but all errors are simple
boxed Errors from std.
Since loading the clipboard data usually should not fail, we now do not
log it as error if it fails but just print it to the debug log instead.
This fixes#2389.
This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized
`clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip`
dependency on X11.
Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard
support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created).
Fixes#5.
The cfc20d4f34 commit introduced a
regression which would cause the cursor to disappear after the glyph
cache has been filled.
Since the cursor was not cached on the glyph cache, the cursor would
quickly fill up the OpenGL texture with lots of cursor textures and then
things would break after the atlas was filled completely.
This adds a separate cursor cache which is keyed by the cursor style
that will persist the texture without flooding the atlas.
This fixes#2355.
If a cell has a matching foreground and background and is inversed
through the escape or selection, it will now fall back to the default
background on top of the default foreground.
This makes it possible to show invisible text like this by selecting it.
Hidden text is unaffected by this change.
This fixes#2315.
This adds a DirectWrite font rasterizer for Windows and enables
subpixel rendering and hinting.
It also completely replaces rusttype for font rendering on Windows,
allowing Alacritty to use the native font stacks on all operating systems.
Fixes#1673.
Fixes#2316.
