ghostty#5000 changed the window level from `.popupMenu` to `.floating`
to improve IME support. However, this introduced a side effect which
render the Quick Terminal (QT) below the macOS menu bar, whereas
previously it would cover it.
When positioned on `right` and `left`, the top of the QT becomes
partially hidden. This PR adjust the size of the QT to ensure it remains
fully visible and stays below the menu bar.
Allowing the alert to be automatically closed after the completion handler finishes doesn't seem to play well when the completion handler closes the window on which the alert is attached
This commit is quite large because it's fairly interconnected and can't
be split up in a logical way. The main part of this commit is that alpha
blending is now always done in the Display P3 color space, and depending
on the configured `window-colorspace` colors will be converted from sRGB
or assumed to already be Display P3 colors. In addition, a config option
`text-blending` has been added which allows the user to configure linear
blending (AKA "gamma correction"). Linear alpha blending also applies to
images and makes custom shaders receive linear colors rather than sRGB.
In addition, an experimental option has been added which corrects linear
blending's tendency to make dark text look too thin and bright text look
too thick. Essentially it's a correction curve on the alpha channel that
depends on the luminance of the glyph being drawn.

We need to set the level to popUpMenu so that we can move the window
offscreen and animate it over the main menu, but we must reset it back
to floating after the animation is complete so that other higher-level
windows can be shown on top of it such as IME windows.
Two major changes:
1. Hiding uses `NSApp.hide` which hides all windows, preserves tabs, and
yields focus to the next app.
2. Unhiding manually tracks and brings forward only the windows we hid.
Proper focus should be retained.

This PR attempts to reduce the flash caused by the ghost emoji in the
title bar when opening new windows.
## Changes:
- Initialize `SurfaceView.title` with empty string instead of ghost
emoji
- Simplify title computation logic in `TerminalView`
- Adding a 500ms fallback timer for "👻"
- Canceling timer if title is set
## Current Status:
While these changes reduce the initial ghost emoji flash, there's still
a brief moment where a folder emoji appears alone in the title bar when
opening a new window. This suggests there might be a race condition or
timing issue with how the title is being set and updated.

Would appreciate feedback on the remaining flash issue and suggestions
for further improvements.

This commit fixes two issues:
1. `libghostty` must not override ctrl+key inputs if we are in a preedit
state. This allows thigs like `ctrl+h` to work properly in an IME.
2. On macOS, when an IME commits text, we strip the control modifier
from the key event we send to libghostty. This is a bit of a hack but
this avoids triggering special ctrl+key handling.

Our size calculation before improperly used a screens frame instead of
its visibleFrame. Additionally, we didn't properly account for origin
needing to move in order to fit the window on the screen.
Apparently, setting a frame height to high crashes AppKit. The width
gets clamped by AppKit but the height does not. Fun!
Fixes#4539
AquaSKK is a Japanese IME (Input Method Editor) for macOS. It uses
keyboard inputs to switch between input modes. I don't know any other
IMEs that do this, but it's possible that there are others. Prior to
this change, the keyboard inputs to switch between input modes were
being sent to the terminal, resulting in erroneous characters being
written.
This change adds a check during keyDown events to see if the input
source changed _during the event_. If it did, we assume an IME captured
it and we don't pass the event to the terminal.
This makes AquaSKK functional in Ghostty.
This changes quit signaling from a boolean return from core app `tick()`
to an apprt action. This simplifies the API and conceptually makes more
sense to me now.
This wasn't done just for that; this change was also needed so that
macOS can quit cleanly while fixing #4540 since we may no longer trigger
menu items. I wanted to split this out into a separate commit/PR because
it adds complexity making the diff harder to read.
After updating to 1.0.1 I noticed something different in the terminal,
which turned out being the window borders - it appeared as if Ghostty
was using light-mode style borders (dark/black outline with a thin light
stroke at the top) instead of the entire light outline from before:
| 1.0.0 | 1.0.1 |
| - | - |

After digging a bit, I found #3834, which fixes fullscreen background
colors through alpha channels by appending a `withAlphaComponent(0.0)`
to `backgroundColor` - for reasons I may be entirely unaware of (since
I'm not a Swift developer), this seems to cause the dark-mode border
style to go away.
Some lines above that, I noticed the `.clear` callout from line 266,
which talks about matching Terminal.app's styles, and it _also_ has a
`withAlphaComponent` but set to `0.001` - if I understand correctly, and
the fix from #3834 works by setting the alpha component to a
_practically_ zero value, then I thought perhaps a really small number
like `0.001` could do the trick as well. This ended up working and
bringing back the right borders again.
Not sure again if this may make a difference anywhere else in the app or
bring any undesired behavior, but if anyone who is well-versed in Swift
would like chime in with more details or perhaps a better approach, I'd
greatly appreciate it!
