As of now `gtk4-layer-shell` is unavailable on recent, stable releases
of many distros (Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04, openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed, etc.)
and outdated on many others (Nixpkgs 24.11/unstable, Fedora 41, etc.)
This is inconvenient for our users and severely limits where the quick
terminal can be used. As a result we then build gtk4-layer-shell ourselves
by default unless `--system` or `-fsys=gtk4-layer-shell` are specified.
This also allows me to add an idiomatic Zig API on top of the library
and avoiding adding even more raw C code in the GTK apprt.
Since we now build gtk4-layer-shell it should be theoretically available
on all Linux systems we target. As such, the `-Dgtk-layer-shell` build
option has been removed. This is somewhat of an experimental change as
I don't know if gtk4-layer-shell works perfectly across all distros, and
we can always add the option back if need be.
For *some* reason we have a binding for close_window but it merely closes
the surface and not the entire window. That is not only misleading but
also just wrong. Now we make a separate apprt action for close_window
that would make it show a close confirmation prompt identical to as if
the user had clicked the (X) button on the window titlebar.
Fixes https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/4947 for gtk
This PR implements the senstive content hiding when displaying the paste
confirmation dialog in secure input mode.
Following changes are implemented:
- in the blueprint for each dialog add a show/hide button that is not
visible by default, and a Revealer that is revealed by default
- save the `secure_input` action value for each surface in the GTK apprt
- pass the value when initializing the paste confirmation dialog
- in the dialog code, alter the visibility of the content and
reveal/hide buttons based on secure input flag value

I feel like this is already a nearly full implementation, but I'm
leaving this as a draft for now, since i need to look into blueprints
for Adwaita 1.2, and verify if it behaves properly when the dialog is in
not-sensitive input mode and in OSC52 mode.
This is my third (!) attempt at implementing localization support. By
leveraging GTK builder to do most of the `gettext` calls, I can avoid
the whole mess about missing symbols on non-glibc platforms.
Added some documentation too for contributors and translators, just for
good measure.
Supersedes #5214, resolves the GTK half of #2357

This implements the keybind/action portion of #5974 so that this can
have a binding and so that other apprts can respond to this and
implement it this way.
Using `gtk4-layer-shell` still seems like the path of least resistance,
and to my delight it pretty much Just Works. Hurrah!
This implementation could do with some further polish (e.g. animations,
which can be implemented via libadwaita's animations API, and global
shortcuts), but as a MVP it works well enough.
It even supports tabs!
Fixes#4624.
This will be needed to the convert GTK apprt surfaces to a DerivedConfig
model rather than accessing the global config stored in the app. It's a
no-op for now, but I have a PR in the works to update the resize overlay
that will take advantage of this.
Menus (context menus and the window hamburger menu) now use popovers and
are defined using GTK builder UI files. This is a bit more "modern" and
reduces the amount of code to define menus.

Previously, Ghostty used a static API for async event handling: io_uring
on Linux, kqueue on macOS. This commit changes the backend to be dynamic
on Linux so that epoll will be used if io_uring isn't available, or if
the user explicitly chooses it.
This introduces a new config `async-backend` (default "auto") which can
be set by the user to change the async backend in use. This is a
best-effort setting: if the user requests io_uring but it isn't
available, Ghostty will fall back to something that is and that choice
is up to us.
Basic benchmarking both in libxev and Ghostty (vtebench) show no
noticeable performance differences introducing the dynamic API, nor
choosing epoll over io_uring.
Requesting the initial color scheme on systems where the D-Bus interface
is nonexistent would delay Ghostty startup by 1-2 minutes. That's not
acceptable. Our color scheme events are already async-friendly anyway.
Fixes#4632
A "size-limit" function has been implemented for GTK which calls
gtk_widget_set_size_request() to set the minimum widget/window size.
Without
this function, it's left to GTK to set the minimum size which is usually
a lot larger than the documented 10x4 cell minimum size. This doesn't
fix the
issue completely as GTK retains the final say in how small a window can
be
but it gets closer.

### apprt/gtk: Add version.runtimeAtLeast
This will be used for version checks that are independent of the version
of GTK we built against.
### apprt/gtk: Move most version checks to runtime
Unless we are guarding against symbols added in new versions we now
check against the runtime version of GTK to handle them even when we
didn't build against that version.
