This adds documentation stating that Alacritty supports the synchronized
update escape, which was implemented in 9575aed.
Since tmux does check terminfo for this feature, the `Sync` capability
has also been added. Tmux's implementation can be found here:
f5b7ebc540/tty-features.c (L185)
Alacritty's description in the readme and manpage has always been a bit
overly aggressive in its marketing. This new updated text should more
accurately describe Alacritty's current state without pointlessly
agitating people.
Previously the _NET_WM_ICON would use the .ico which was also used for
the Windows icon. This icon used the dimensions 256x256, but the maximum
supported image size is 192x192, so a new image with the dimensions
64x64 has been added.
Since we know the image format anyways, the `image` dependency could
also be easily replaced with `png`, which cuts out a few extra unused
dependencies.
This removes some of Alacritty's CLI flags since the same functionality
is provided by the '--option' flag now.
The removed flags are:
* '--persistent-logging'
* '--live-config-reload'
* '--no-live-config-reload'
* '--dimensions'
* '--position'
Fixes#4246.
This removes all CI builds from travis-ci, due to their recent changes
in policy and harsh limitations on builds. With build times over 2
hours, it was a significant hindrance to development.
Instead of Travis CI, the CI is now split on Sourcehut and GitHub. Since
Sourcehut only supports Linux/BSD, all builds on those operating systems
are executed there. The GitHub Actions CI is used to build for
Windows/macOS, which are not available on Sourcehut.
Since asset deployment for releases requires builds on all platforms,
this is also done on GitHub actions. Though the new `upload_asset.sh`
script makes sure that migration in the future is fairly simple and we
do not tie ourselves to the overly complicated GitHub Actions ecosystem.
This uses the facilities added in
3c3e6870de to allow overriding individual
configuration file options dynamically from the CLI using the
--options/-o parameter.
Fixes#1258.
This adds support for double underlines using the colon separated escape
sequence `CSI 4 : 2 m`.
Alacritty will now also always fallback to the normal underline in case
any of the other underlines like the undercurl are specified. The escape
sequence `CSI 4 : 0 m` can now be used to clear all underlines.
Some terminals support `CSI 21 m` for double underline, but since
Alacritty already uses that as cancel bold which is a little more
consistent, that behavior has not changed. So the colon separated
variant must be used.
Since Alacritty should not be responsible for packaging and the
maintainers of the snap package have not kept it up to date, this
removes its configuration file.
This implements a basic mode for navigating inside of Alacritty's
history with keyboard bindings. They're bound by default to vi's motion
shortcuts but are fully customizable. Since this relies on key bindings
only single key bindings are currently supported (so no `ge`, or
repetition).
Other than navigating the history and moving the viewport, this mode
should enable making use of all available selection modes to copy
content to the clipboard and launch URLs below the cursor.
This also changes the rendering of the block cursor at the side of
selections, since previously it could be inverted to be completely
invisible. Since that would have caused some troubles with this keyboard
selection mode, the block cursor now is no longer inverted when it is at
the edges of a selection.
Fixes#262.
This fixes various outdated links pointing to the old jwilm/alacritty
repository.
Since `copypasta` now has its own github repository at
https://github.com/alacritty/copypasta, the sources have been removed
from Alacritty.
This should help with compatibility problems with some platforms like
KDE, that do not support all the features necessary for rendering the
default Alacritty logo.
To make the release process a bit smoother and prevent a freeze of the
master process while review candidates are out, this will put the master
in a perpetual development state.
This should make it clear to everyone that the official source for
releases is always the tagged branch and make it possible to release new
versions completely independently.
Since versions are bumped after each release, this makes it so the
release branches do not have to get merged back into the master branch
to show the correct development version.
Declaring curcontext etc local is superfluous as _arguments states are
not used. It is also superfluous to include an outer function definition
syntax in zsh autoloadable functions. Zsh convention is not to
capitalize descriptions. It is also better to use the imperative mood
verb form for descriptions as this allows them to start with the
shortest form of the verb - e.g. "reduce" instead of "reduces" and
results in better grammar in the absence of a sentence subject. I'd
recommend this in the --help output too. Using _guard for the position
and dimensions was unnecessary given that the values are not mixed with
other matches.
Ncurses does some special handling for backspace, normally comparing it
to the KEY_BACKSPACE constant. However to make this work, the right
backspace escape sequence needs to be set in the terminfo.
XTerm has this set to ^H, but it always sends ^H. Since Alacritty
usually sends ^? instead, this needs to be specified to allow correct
interpretation for ncurses.
This resolves permission failures when modifying root-owned files
and such, e.g., modifying /etc/hosts. It had been possible
to work around this by adding alacritty to the set of
applications with "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences. macOS
now opens a prompt to confirm permission with a new installation.
This fixes#2337.
This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized
`clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip`
dependency on X11.
Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard
support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created).
Fixes#5.
