This enables shifted alt-prefixed keys, such as `shift+alt+.` on
US standard becoming `M->`. To do this, we needed to fix a few bugs:
(1) translation mods should strip alt even if other mods are set
(2) AppKit translation event needs to construct new characters with
the translation mods.
(3) Alt-prefix handling in KeyEncoder needs to allow ASCII utf8
translations even for macOS.
Fixes#872
In #867 we fixed macos-option-as-alt, but unfortunately AppKit ALSO does
some translation so some behaviors were not working correctly.
Specifically, when you had macos-option-as-alt set, option+e would
properly send `esc+e` to the pty but it would ALSO set the dead key
state for "`" since AppKit was still translating the option key.
This commit introduces a function to strip alt when necessary from the
translation modifiers used at the AppKit layer, preventing this
behavior.
This regressed sometime -- I can't find the exact commit -- but in any
case I've moved this handling directly into the KeyEncoder so we can
unit test it and prevent future regressions.
This commit adds support for bindings with multiple parameters. For
example, a "resize_split" binding will have two parameters: the resize
direction and the resize amount. Multiple parameters are supported by
using a tuple as the enum value and are written in string form by
separating each argument with a comma. Example: "resize_split:up,10".
Fixes#619
This changes the behavior from requiring printable text to any input
that isn't a modifier and also generates some data we send to the pty.
If there is printable text, we also clear the selection.
User input withe Alt modifier is typically ESC prefixed. Escape
prefixing a non-ascii character can cause bugs in some applications. For
example in bash, emitting an Alt+ф allows the user to backspace one
character into the prompt. This can be repeated multiple times.
When a character is outside the ASCII range (exclusive of 0x7F, this is
handled as a control sequence), print the character as is, with no
prefix.
Fix reporting of alternate keys when using the kitty protocol. Alternate
keyboard layouts were failing to report the "base layout" key. This
implementation now matches kitty's output 1:1, and has some added unit
tests for cyrillic characters.
This also fixes a bug where a caps_lock modified key would report the
shifted key as well. The protocol explicitly requires that shifted keys
are only reported if the shift modifier is true.
This matches Kitty behavior on both macOS and Linux. In certain keyboard
modes and Kitty keyboard modes, the behavior changes but those already
matched (tested).
macOS translates inputs such as shift+tab into the control character tab
(ascii 0x09). Linux/GTK does not translate character inputs except to
printable characters. We don't want control character translations
because these are all handled manually by our key encoder (i.e.
translating ctrl+c to 0x03).
