Various functions take some permutation of the current selection, the
terminal, and a notifier. Instead of having to juggle some number of
arguments everywhere, the `ActionContext` is constructed and then passed
around.
This adds the ability to click and drag with the mouse and have the
effect of visually selecting text. The ability to copy the selection
into a clipboard buffer is not yet implemented.
The cell under the cursor is now tracked in the input processor at
`self.mouse.line` and `self.mouse.column`. This could probably be
optimized to only compute the cell when in certain states, but the
calculation is cheap.
Ref tests use a recording of the terminal protocol and a serialization
of the grid state to check that the parsing and action handling systems
produce the correct result. Ref tests may be recorded by running
alacritty with `--ref-test` and closing the terminal by using the window
"X" button. At that point, the recording is fully written to disk, and a
serialization of important state is recorded. Those files should be
moved to an appropriate folder in the `tests/ref/` tree, and the
`ref_test!` macro invocation should be updated accordingly.
A couple of changes were necessary to make this work:
* Ref tests shouldn't create a pty; the pty was refactored out of the
`Term` type.
* Repeatable lines/cols were needed; on startup, the terminal is resized
* by default to 80x24 though that may be changed by passing
`--dimensions w h`.
* Calculating window size based on desired rows/columns and font metrics
required making load_font callable multiple times.
* Refactor types into library crate so they may be imported in an
integration test.
* A whole bunch of types needed symmetric serialization and
deserialization. Mostly this was just adding derives, but the custom
deserialization of Rgb had to change to a deserialize_with function.
This initially adds one ref test as a sanity check, and more will be
added in subsequent commits. This initial ref tests just starts the
terminal and runs `ll`.
Bindings were previously hardcoded within input.rs; adding, removing, or
changing a binding required a recompile! Now, bindings may be declared
in alacritty.yml. Even better, bindings are live-reloaded when
alacritty.yml is changed!
One unexpected benefit of this change was that all of the special casing
in input.rs has disappeared.
Conversely, config.rs has gained complexity for all of the
deserialization logic.
Resolves#3.
This is a bit of an experiment to see if simply handling 'v' in the
bindings will work or has any bugs not going through ReceivedCharacter.
The change is necessary though to prevent 'v' from being written in
front of every clipboard paste.
This was largely an experiment to see whether writing and reading from a
separate thread was causing terminal state corruption as described in
https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/9. Although this doesn't seem
to fix that particular issue.
Keeping this because it generally seems more correct than
reading/writing from separate locations.
This is experimental on a separate branch of Glutin. It's intended to
fix the problem of certain key events not being delivered on alt-tab and
breaking the modifier state tracking.
Glutin sends both a received character and the key pressed event when a
key is pressed. Because delete and backspace are mapped in reverse by
terminal standards, we ignore the received character 0x07 and 0x7f
values. However, this breaks Control-H since this normally sends 0x07 as
well. The fix here adds handling for Control-H through the input
tracking system.
The default characters sent for this were incorrect. Delete now sends
xterm-compatible escapes (dch1, kdch1), and Backspace sends the delete
code 0x7f.
It's a generic impl of `input::Notify` for `Write` types; as such, it
seems completely reasonable to include in the input module. Moving it
also serves to declutter main.
There's a number of keys/combinations that should emit escape sequences
to the PTY when triggered. This commit adds a framework to support that.
The input::Processor is a type which tracks state of modifier keys. When
special keys (like arrow, function) are detected, the processor pulls up
a list of candidate escapes to send, and picks the first one based on
terminal mode and active modifier keys. The input::Processor is generic
over the thing receiving the escape sequences, the input::Notify type.
Included is a wrapper for `&mut io::Write` which implements
input::Notify and is currently used to connect the processor to the PTY
stream.
This added handling of the APP_CURSOR mode which changes affects input
processing.
