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.
A common issue for US-centric users of a terminal is that the "option"
key on macOS is not treated as the "alt" key in the terminal.
## Background
macOS does not have an "alt" key, but instead has an "option" key. The "option"
key is used for a variety of purposes, but the troublesome behavior for some
(and expected/desired behavior for others) is that it is used to input special
characters.
For example, on a US standard layout, `option-b` inputs `∫`. This is not
a typically desired character when using a terminal and most users will
instead expect that `option-b` maps to `alt-b` for keybinding purposes
with whatever shell, TUI, editor, etc. they're using.
On non-US layouts, the "option" key is a critical modifier key for
inputting certain characters in the same way "shift" is a critical
modifier key for inputting certain characters on US layouts.
We previously tried to change the default for `macos-option-as-alt`
to `left` (so that the left option key behaves as alt) because I had the
wrong assumption that international users always used the right option
key with terminals or were used to this. But very quickly beta users
with different layouts (such as German, I believe) noted that this is
not the case and broke their idiomatic input behavior. This behavior was
therefore reverted.
## Solution
This confusing behavior happened frequently enough that I decided to
implement the more complex behavior in this commit. The new behavior is
that when a US layout is active, `macos-option-as-alt` defaults to true
if it is unset. When a non-US layout is active, `macos-option-as-alt`
defaults to false if it is unset. This happens live as users change
their keyboard layout.
**An important goal of Ghostty is to have zero-config defaults** that
satisfy the majority of users. Fiddling with configurations is -- for
most -- an annoying task and software that works well enough out of the
box is delightful. Based on surveying beta users, I believe this commit
will result in less configuration for the majority of users.
## Other Terminals
This behavior is unique amongst terminals as far as I know.
Terminal.app, Kitty, iTerm2, Alacritty (I stopped checking there) all
default to the default macOS behavior (option is option and special
characters are inputted).
All of the aforementioned terminals have a setting to change this
behavior, identical to Ghostty (or, Ghostty identical to them perhaps
since they all predate Ghostty).
I couldn't find any history where users requested the behavior of
defaulting this to something else for US based keyboards. That's
interesting since this has come up so frequently during the Ghostty
beta!
The prior light/dark mode awareness work works on surface-level APIs. As
a result, configurations used at the app-level (such as split divider
colors, inactive split opacity, etc.) are not aware of the current theme
configurations and default to the "light" theme.
This commit adds APIs to specify app-level color scheme changes. This
changes the configuration for the app and sets the default conditional
state to use that new theme. This latter point makes it so that future
surfaces use the correct theme on load rather than requiring some apprt
event loop ticks. Some users have already reported a short "flicker" to
load the correct theme, so this should help alleviate that.
First, this commit modifies libghostty to use a single unified action
dispatch system based on a tagged union versus the one-off callback
system that was previously in place. This change simplifies the code on
both the core and consumer sides of the library. Importantly, as we
introduce new actions, we can now maintain ABI compatibility so long as
our union size does not change (something I don't promise yet).
Second, this moves a lot more of the functions call on a surface into
the action system. This affects all apprts and continues the previous
work of introducing a more unified API for optional surface features.
Fixes#1547
The core change to make this work is to make the cursor position
callback support taking updated modifiers. On both macOS and GTK, cursor
position events also provide the pressed modifiers so we can pass those
in.
These sequences were implemented:
CSI 14 t - report the text area size in pixels
CSI 16 t - report the cell size in pixels
CSI 18 t - report the text area size in cells
CSI 21 t - report the window title
These sequences were not implemented because they manuipulate the window
state in ways that we do not want.
CSI 1 t
CSI 2 t
CSI 3 ; x ; y t
CSI 4 ; height ; width ; t
CSI 5 t
CSI 6 t
CSI 7 t
CSI 8 ; height ; width ; t
CSI 9 ; 0 t
CSI 9 ; 1 t
CSI 9 ; 2 t
CSI 9 ; 3 t
CSI 10 ; 0 t
CSI 10 ; 1 t
CSI 10 ; 2 t
CSI 24 t
These sequences were not implemented because they do not make sense in
a Wayland context:
CSI 11 t
CSI 13 t
CSI 14 ; 2 t
These sequences were not implemented because they provide information
about the screen that is unnecessary.
CSI 15 t
CSI 19 t
These sequences were not implemeted because Ghostty does not maintain an
icon title for windows.
CSI 20 t
CSI 22 ; 0 t
CSI 22 ; 1 t
CSI 23 ; 0 t
CSI 23 ; 1 t
These sequences were not implemented because of the additional
complexity of maintaining a stack of window titles.
CSI 22 ; 2 t
CSI 23 ; 2 t
