A lot of actions were left without a notice, so the only way to figure
out some of them was to browse source code. An example of such
actions were `Maximize` and `Minimize`, since we don't have a binding
for them, so they were left even in alacritty-bindings(5).
Explicitly list all the bindings we have. The search bindings were
also not accurately restricted, since we allow them to be executed
inside regardless of mode.
The main highlight of this update is that alacritty will now use new
keyboard API from the winit, which resolves a lot of issues around
key bindings, such as ability to bind dead keys. It also fixes long
standing issues with the virtual key code bindings and make bindings
in general more predictable. It also makes our default Vi key bindings
fully working.
Given that alacritty was using `VirtualKey` directly in the bindings
from the winit, and winit simply removed the enum, we've added internal
conversions to minimize the fallout, but new way to specify the bindings
should be more intuitive.
Other part of this update fixes some forward compatibility bugs with the
Wayland backend, given that wayland-rs 0.30 is fully forward compatible.
The update also fixes weird Maximized startup issues on GNOME Wayland,
however they were present on any sane compositor.

The new colorscheme is base16 classic dark with the bright colors
generated with oklab toolkits. The base16 classic dark is less washed
out and represents the current maintainers preference. The motivation
to change it was subjective, though it does look like generic dark
theme.
On a side note, this colorscheme was used for alacritty.org web page for
a long time, however it used different foreground color.
This switches Alacritty's default configuration format from yaml to
toml. While yaml is still supported, it is done by converting it to toml
and should be removed entirely in the future.
All existing features were persisted based on my testing. Behavior
should not change much, though `--option` might have slightly different
behavior since the entire line is not interpreted as one line of toml.
A new `alacritty migrate` subcommand has been added which allows
automatic migration from yaml to toml. This also could be used as a
facility to automatically fix configuration file changes in the future.
Closes#6592.
This rewrites the existing manpages to use the `scdoc` format, making it
simpler to read and edit the manpages without intricate roff knowledge.
Some minor changes to the manpages were made in the process, mostly
focusing on correcting some of the wording. The list of maintainers has
also changed to ensure people not involved in the project anymore aren't
unnecessarily contacted for support.
