This makes it so `zig build run` can take arguments such as
`--config-default-files=false` or any other configuration. Previously,
it only accepted commands such as `+version`.
Incidentally, this also makes it so that the app in general can now take
configuration arguments via the CLI if it is launched as a new instance
via `open`. For example:
open -n Ghostty.app --args --config-default-files=false
This previously didn't work. This is kind of cool.
To make this work, the libghostty C API was modified so that
initialization requires the CLI args, and there is a new C API to try to
execute an action if it was set.
Fixes#7647
See #7647 for context. This commit works by extending the `input` work
introduced in #7652 to libghostty so that the macOS can take advantage
of it. At that point, its just the macOS utilizing `input` in order to
set the command and `exit` up similar to Terminal and iTerm2.
The default keybinds for showing the GTK inspector (`ctrl+shift+i` and
`ctrl+shift+d`) don't work reliably in Ghostty due to the way Ghostty
handles input. You can show the GTK inspector by setting the environment
variable `GTK_DEBUG` to `interactive` before starting Ghostty but that's
not always convenient.
This adds a keybind action that will show the GTK inspector. Due to
API limitations toggling the GTK inspector using the keybind action is
impractical because GTK does not provide a convenient API to determine
if the GTK inspector is already showing. Thus we limit ourselves to
strictly showing the GTK inspector. To close the GTK inspector the user
must click the close button on the GTK inspector window. If the GTK
inspector window is already visible but is hidden, calling the keybind
action will not bring the GTK inspector window to the front.
The origin of these keys are old sun keyboards.
They are getting picked up by the custom (progammable) keyboard scene
(see https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku for a popular layout).
Support in ghosty is quite handy because it allows to bind copy/paste in
a way that doesn't overlap with ctrl-c/ctrl-v, which can have special
bindings in some terminal applications.
This is a large refactor of the keyboard input handling code in
libghostty and macOS. Previously, libghostty did a lot of things that
felt out of scope or was repeated work due to lacking context. For
example, libghostty would do full key translation from key event to
character (including unshifted translation) as well as managing dead key
states and setting the proper preedit text.
This is all information the apprt can and should have on its own.
NSEvent on macOS already provides us with all of this information,
there's no need to redo the work. The reason we did in the first place
is mostly historical: libghostty powered our initial macOS port years
ago when we didn't have an AppKit runtime yet.
This cruft has already practically been the source of numerous issues, e.g.
#5558, but many other hacks along the way, too.
This commit pushes all preedit (e.g. dead key) handling and key translation
including unshifted keys up into the caller of libghostty.
Besides code cleanup, a practical benefit of this is that key event
handling on macOS is now about 10x faster on average. That's because
we're avoiding repeated key translations as well as other unnecessary
work. This should have a meaningful impact on input latency but I didn't
measure the full end-to-end latency.
A scarier part of this commit is that key handling is not well tested
since its a GUI component. I suspect we'll have some fallout for certain
keyboard layouts or input methods, but I did my best to run through
everything I could think of.
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.
Related to #6035
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.
Finishes #378
Supercedes #4159
This adds a new enum value for `macos-non-native-fullscreen`:
`padded-notch`. This value will add padding to the top of the window to
account for the notch on applicable devices while still hiding the
menu.
This value is preferred over "visible-menu" by some people because for
screens without a notch, the window will take up the full height.
The plan in the future is that we may color the padded area when a notch
is present. In this commit it appears as transparent.
As recommended in
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/4927#issuecomment-2585003934,
adds a config option `maximize` for starting a window in a maximized
state in terms of window properties. Also adds a `toggle_maximize`
keybind to allow users to manually toggle this feature on and off.
It might make more sense to make this an optional config value so that
we don't toggle the state off if the WM already handles that for us, but
I'll let a reviewer decide.
Closes https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/4646
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.
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.
