There are a couple of cursor-related options in the Alacritty config
file now, however they aren't grouped together in any way.
To resolve this a new `cursor` field has been added where all cursor
configuration options (besides colors) have been moved.
The `custom_cursor_colors` option has also been removed, since it's not
necessary anymore. Simply making the `colors.cursor.*` fields optional,
allows overriding the cursor colors whenever one of them is present.
Like that the user doesn't have to think about a relation between two
separate configuration options.
This PR initially put the `hide_cursor_when_typing` variable under
`cursor.hide_when_typing`. However this field is completely unrelated to
the cursor, but instead relates to the mouse cursor.
Since the word `cursor` is already used for the active cell in the grid
of a terminal emulator, all occurences of the word `cursor` when talking
about the mouse have been replaced with the word `mouse`.
The configuration option has also been moved to
`mouse.hide_when_typing`, to make it clear what this option is changing.
This fixes#1080.
The Windows configuration file was outdated compared to the other
configuration files, since there were some major changes to the config
during the development of the Windows PR.
All changes between the Linux and Windows configuration file have been
removed, preserving platform-specific configuration defaults that were
intentionally changed.
Some minor changes have also been made to the Linux and macOS
configuration files, since there were some inconsistencies left.
This fixes#1692.

This adds the option to automatically launch URLs with a specified
program when clicking on them.
The config option `mouse.url_launcher` has been added to specify which
program should be used to open the URL. The URL is always passed as the
last parameter to the specified command.
It is not always desired for URLs to open automatically when clicking on
them. To resolve this a new `modifiers` field has been introduced to the
config, which allows specifying which keyboard modifiers need to be held
down to launch URLs in the specified launcher.
Some tests have been added to make sure that the edge-cases of the URL
parsing are protected against future regressions. To make testing easier
the parsing method has been moved into the `SemanticSearch` trait. The
name of the trait has also been changed to just `Search` and it has been
moved to `src/term/mod.rs` to fit the additional functionality.
This fixes#113.
Initial support for Windows is implemented using the winpty translation
layer. Clipboard support for Windows is provided through the `clipboard`
crate, and font rasterization is provided by RustType.
The tty.rs file has been split into OS-specific files to separate
standard pty handling from the winpty implementation.
Several binary components are fetched via build script on windows
including libclang and winpty. These could be integrated more directly
in the future either by building those dependencies as part of the
Alacritty build process or by leveraging git lfs to store the artifacts.
Fixes#28.
