This adds the ability for users to have multiple configuration files
which all inherit from each other.
The order of imports is chronological, branching out to the deepest
children first and overriding every field with that of the configuration
files that are loaded at a later point in time.
Live config reload watches the directories of all configuration files,
allowing edits in any of them to update Alacritty immediately. While the
imports are live reloaded, a new configuration file watcher will only be
spawned once Alacritty is restarted.
Since this might cause loops which would be very difficult to detect, a
maximum depth is set to limit the recursion possible with nested
configuration files.
Fixes#779.
This commit removes font dependency from alacritty_terminal,
so it'll simplify the usage of alacritty_terminal as a library,
since you won't link to system's libraries anymore. It also
moves many alacritty related config options from it.
Fixes#3393.
This adds a new regex search which allows searching the entire
scrollback and jumping between matches using the vi mode.
All visible matches should be highlighted unless their lines are
excessively long. This should help with performance since highlighting
is done during render time.
Fixes#1017.
Keeping the license as part of every file bloats up the files
unnecessarily and introduces an additional overhead to the creation of
new modules.
Since cargo already provides excellent dependency management, most of
the code-reuse of Alacritty should occur through Rust's dependency
management instead of copying it source.
If code is copied partially, copying the license from the main license
file should be just as easy as copying from the top of the file and
making some adjustments based on where it is used is likely necessary
anyways.
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 completely removes the tabspaces option from the Alacritty
configuration, due to frequent misuse of it. Based on some research,
none of the terminal emulators support setting the value for tabspaces
or read the terminfo to determine init_tabs value at startup. The tested
terminal emulators were URxvt, XTerm, and Termite.
Since the assumption is usually that bold text is drawn in bright
colors, this might break some applications. However some other terminals
have already taken this leap, which should lessen the impact for
Alacritty.
Since this might still be desired and necessary for certain
applications, the config option is just switched to draw with normal
colors by default, however the old behavior can still be restored.
Fixes#2779.
This takes the latest glutin master to port Alacritty to the EventLoop
2.0 rework.
This changes a big part of the event loop handling by pushing the event
loop in a separate thread from the renderer and running both in
parallel.

The cursor rework introduced a regression where cursor color was always picked
from a config file, rather then using `ansi::NamedColor::Cursor` for this
purpose.
This commit also removes `CursorText` option from `NamedColor` enum,
since we can't speculate with `CursorText` during runtime.

Since ref tests were only stored whenever winit requested the window
close, they would not get stored properly when the terminal was closed
through Alacritty using `exit`, Ctrl+D or similar.
This moves the ref test code to the and of the main entry point, which
will always be executed regardless of how the terminal was shutdown.
This is a large refactor of the config parsing structure, attempting to
reduce the size of the file a bit by splitting it up into different
modules with more specific purposes.
This also fixes#2279.
