Some Intel MacBook Pro laptops have both an integrated and discrete
GPU and support automatically switching between them. The system
uses the integrated GPU by default, but the default Metal device on
those systems is the discrete GPU. This means that Metal‐using
applications activate it by default, presumably as the intended
audience is high‐performance graphics applications.
This is unfortunate for productivity applications like terminals,
however, as the discrete GPU decreases battery life and worsens the
thermal throttling problems these machines have always had. Prefer
to use an integrated GPU when present and not using an external GPU.
The behaviour should be unchanged on Apple Silicon, as the platform
only supports one GPU. I have confirmed that the resulting app runs,
works, and doesn’t activate the AMD GPU on my MacBook Pro, but have
not done any measurements of the resulting performance impact. If
it is considered sufficiently noticeable, a GPU preference setting
could be added.

measurements, and changes relating to this issue in the Zed
project. The logic implemented here reflects what Zed ended up
settling on.
The [Metal documentation] recommends using
`MTLCopyAllDevicesWithObserver` to receive notifications of when
the list of available GPUs changes, such as when [external GPUs
are connected or disconnected]. I didn’t bother implementing that
because it seemed like a lot of fussy work to deal with migrating
everything to a new GPU on the fly just for a niche use case on a
legacy platform. Zed doesn’t implement it and I haven’t heard
about anyone complaining that their computer caught fire when they
unplugged an external GPU, so hopefully it’s fine.

adw_application_window_destroy and gtk_application_window_destroy do not
exist. I believe that this didn't trigger a compile error because the
errdefer got compiled out because there are no potential error returns
after this code in the function.
Fixes#2537
This matches Terminal.app. iTerm2 requires cmd+option (our old
behavior). Kitty doesn't seem to support rectangle select or I couldn't
figure out how to make it work. WezTerm matches Terminal.app too.
Outside of terminal emulators, this is also the rectangular select
binding for neovim.
When resetting the terminal screen, the memory buffer allocated for the
scrollback is now cleared by reinitializing the screen and falling back to the
current method if any of the attempts to reinitialize fail.
Closes#2464
Fixes#2500
Based on #2508
This separates out the concept of a "hyperlink" from a "hyperlink page
entry." The difference is that the former has real Zig slices into
things like strings and the latter has offsets into terminal page
memory.
From this separation, the Page structure now has an `insertHyperlink`
function that takes a hyperlink and converts it to a page entry.
This does a couple things: (1) it moves page memory management out of
Screen and into Page which is historically more appropriate and (2) it
let's us more easily test hyperlinks from the Page unit tests.
Finally, this PR makes some error sets explicit.
Fixes#2499
We rely on CoreText's font discovery to find the best font for a
fallback by using the character set attribute. It appears that for some
codepoints, the character set attribute is not enough to find a font
that supports the codepoint.
In this case, we use CTFontCreateForString to find the font that
CoreText would use. The one subtlety here is we need to ignore the
last resort font, which just has replacement glyphs for all codepoints.
We already had a function to do this for CJK characters (#1637)
thankfully so we can just reuse that!
This also fixes a bug where CTFontCreateForString range param expects
the range length to be utf16 code units, not utf32.
In particular when configured to replace several ranges with multiple fonts.
Given the following `font-codepoint-map` config:
```
font-codepoint-map=U+0030-U+0039=Monaco # 0-9
font-codepoint-map=U+0040=mononoki # @
font-codepoint-map=U+0041-U+005a=Pixel Code # A-Z
font-codepoint-map=U+0061-U+007a=Victor Mono # a-z
```
I noticed a couple of unexpected behavior:
1. Codepoint ranges were assigned the wrong font
2. The declaration order had a direct impact on the font assignment
(seemed to be rotating in some fashion)
If my understanding of the current implementation is correct, for a
given range index `n` in the `MultiArrayList` `CodepointMap.get(…)`
returns the font descriptor at index `len - n - 1`. In other words, it
returns the descriptor symmetrically opposite relative to the middle of
the list.
I've added a couple test cases that I would expect to pass if my
understanding of the expected behavior is correct, verified that they
were broken under the current behavior, and updated the implementation
of `CodepointMap.get(…)` accordingly.
My understanding of the original intent is to give priority to the
latest range match in the list (which is a use case already tested by
the `codepointmap` test, but which I believe happened to pass "by
accident"), so I opted for a reverse traversal of the codepoint list.
Mode 2048 and CSI 14 t are size report control sequences which contain
the text area size in pixels. The text area is defined to be the extents
of the grid (rows and columns). Ghostty calculates the available size
for the text area by setting the available padding, and then filling as
much of the remaining space as possible. However, if there are remainder
pixels these are still reported as part of the text area size.
Pass the cell_size geometry through so that we can always report the
correct value: columns * cell width and rows * cell height.

This allows users of non-US keyboard layouts to continue to use the
right option key for input methods, while still being able to use the
the left option key as alt for keybindings.
This is a bit of an experiment to see if this is a good default for
everyone. This is in response to very common confusion of US keyboard
layouts where "alt" doesn't work along with the very common use of
non-US layouts where the right option key is used for input methods.
I think this will strike the right balance for most users.
This fixes a regression from #2454. In that PR, we added an error when
positional arguments are detected. I believe that's correct, but we
were silently relying on the previous behavior in the CLI commands.
This commit changes the CLI commands to use a new argsIterator function
that creates an iterator that skips the first argument (argv0). This is
the same behavior that the config parsing does and now uses this shared
logic.
This also makes it so the argsIterator ignores actions (`+things`)
and we document that we expect those to be handled earlier.
