2018-09-17Bump version in CHANGELOGscrollbackJoe Wilm
2018-09-17Bump version number to 0.2.0 (#1492)Christian Duerr
* Change deb installation from crates.io to git There have been a number of issues an PRs opened since the cargo-deb installation does not work with the latest version from crates.io. To help out users until the crates.io version is updated, the installation instructions have been temporarily changed to install `cargo-deb` through github. * Revert cargo-deb install back to use crates.io Since `cargo-deb` has been updated on crates.io it is now possible to just install it from crates.io and build Alacritty's deb without having to rely on github. * Update dependencies This fixes an `illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)` error when building in release mode. * Remove redundant copy when selecting font_key * Bump version number to 0.2.0 Since the Scrollback branch introduces some major changes, this bumps the version number from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0. The versions of Alacritty have not been updated regularly to this point, so the scrollback branch is a good point in time to start updating Alacritty's version on a regular basis. Further changes to the readme, like dropping the 'alpha' status and updating it to 'beta' could also be introduced with this branch. This way there will be a clean cut which updates everything as soon as scrollback is merged. Building versions is another thing which would be a good thing to start reasonably quickly. However starting this on the main branch after scrollback has been merged seems like a more reliable way to move forward. This fixes #1240. * Add a CHANGELOG file A CHANGELOG file has been added to offer a bit more transparency over which features have been changed, added and potentially removed in Alacritty. There are various formats available for the CHANGELOG file but the most common and sensible one seems to be the one defined by https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0. Following the template proposed by this it should be possible to create a clear CHANGELOG which makes it simple for new contributors to figure out exactly which formatting should be used for it. Since there have been quite a few changes to Alacritty already, not all changes have been added to the changelog. However a few entries have been ported just to give a bit of an example what the format should look like. This also helps with the 0.2.0 version since it will not be completely empty in the changelog. This fixes #1534. * Update CHANGELOG This updates the CHANGELOG to include the changes introduced by 43882ade33d4c14ee7248e489a2d33395faaa0b1.
2018-09-05Fix substraction underflow with IL sequenceChristian Duerr
The IL escape sequence (CSI Ps L) allows inserting blank, uninitialized lines. `Ps` is a placeholder for the number of lines that should be inserted. Before this change Alacritty would crash when a large number of lines was passed as `Ps` parameter. The issue was caused whenever the current line of the cursor plus the lines that should be inserted would leave the bottom of the terminal, since this makes indexing impossible. This patch makes sure that the biggest amount of lines inserted does never exceed the end of the visible region minus the current line of the curser, which fixes the underflow issue. This fixes #1515.
2018-09-02Implement `ansi::ClearMode::Saved`Nathan Lilienthal
The clearing the screen for the `ansi::ClearMode::Saved` enum value has been implemented. This is used to clear all lines which are currently outside of the visible region but still inside the scrollback buffer. The specifications of XTerm indicate that the clearing of saved lines should only clear the saved lines and not the saved lines plus the currently visible part of the grid. Applications like `clear` send both the escape for clearing history plus the escape for clearing history when requested, so all sources seem to agree here. To allow both clearing the screen and the saved lines when a key is pressed the `process_key_bindings` method has been altered so multiple bindings can be specified. So it is now possible to execute both `^L` and `ClearHistory` with just a single binding. The `process_mouse_bindings` method has also been changed for consistency. To make sure everything works properly a test has been added which clears the history and then attempts to scroll. Since scrolling is the only way for a user to check if scrollback is available, this seems like a nice abstraction to check if there is a scrollback.
2018-08-15Scroll visible area when growing windowChristian Duerr
Since Alacritty never had any scrollback history, the behavior when the window height was increased was to just keep the prompt on the same line it has been before the resize. However the usual behavior of terminal emulators is to keep the distance from the prompt to the bottom of the screen consistent whenever possible. This fixes this behavior by loading lines from the scrollback buffer when the window height is increased. This is only done when scrollback is available, so there are only N lines available, the maximum amount of lines which will be loaded when growing the height is N. Since the number of lines available in the alternate screen buffer is 0, it still behaves the same way it did before this patch. Different terminal emulators have different behaviors when this is done in the alt screen buffer, XTerm for example loads history from the normal screen buffer when growing the height of the window from the alternate screen buffer. Since this seems wrong (the alt screen is not supposed to have any scrollback), the behavior of Termite (VTE) has been chosen instead. In Termite the alt screen buffer never loads any scrollback history itself, however when the terminal height is grown while the alternate screen is active, the normal screen's scrollback history lines are loaded. This fixes #1502.
2018-08-05Update dependMatthias Krüger
This fixes an `illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)` error when building in release mode.
2018-08-03Reset visible area when RIS is receivedChristian Duerr
When running bash and executing `echo -ne '\033c'`, the terminal should be cleared. However there was an issue with the visible area not being cleared, so all the text previously printed would still remain visible. To fix this, whenever a `reset` call is received now, the complete visible area is reset to `Cell::default()` (the default Cell) and the length of the available scrollback history is reset to `0`, which results in the scrollback history being cleared from the perspective of the user. This fixes #1483.
2018-07-29Remove "Why doesn't it support scrollback?" from FAQÁrni Dagur
Since scrollback is implemented on the scrollback branch, this section in the FAQ is redundant.
2018-07-29Enable LTOChristian Duerr
This has been disabled temporarily to improve compile times, however there were some performance regressions caused by this change. Since this only affects release compiles and performance is a high priority for Alacritty, LTO has been enabled again.
2018-07-28Merge branch 'master' into scrollbackChristian Duerr
2018-07-28Merge master into scrollbackChristian Duerr
* Allow disabling DPI scaling This makes it possible to disable DPI scaling completely, instead the the display pixel ration will always be fixed to 1.0. By default nothing has changed and DPI is still enabled, this just seems like a better way than running `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR=1.0 alacritty` every time the user wants to start alacritty. It would be possible to allow specifying any DPR, however I've decided against this since I'd assume it's a very rare usecase. It's also still possible to make use of `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR` to do this on X11. Currently this is not updated at runtime using the live config update, there is not really much of a technical limitation why this woudn't be possible, however a solution for that issue should be first added in jwilm/alacritty#1346, once a system is established for changing DPI at runtime, porting that functionality to this PR should be simple. * Add working --class and --title CLI parameters * Reduce Increase-/DecreaseFontSize step to 0.5 Until now the Increase-/DecreaseFontSize keybinds hand a step size of 1.0. Since the font size however is multiplied by two to allow more granular font size control, this lead to the bindings skipping one font size (incrementing/decrementing by +-2). To fix this the step size of the Increase-/DecreaseFontSize bindings has been reduced to the minimum step size that exists with the current font configuration (0.5). This should allow users to increment and decrement the font size by a single point instead of two. This also adds a few tests to make sure the methods for increasing/decreasing/resetting font size work properly. * Add Copy/Cut/Paste keys This just adds support for the Copy/Cut/Paste keys and sets up Copy/Paste as alternative defaults for Ctrl+Shift+C/V. * Move to cargo clippy Using clippy as a library has been deprecated, instead the `cargo clippy` command should be used instead. To comply with this change clippy has been removed from the `Cargo.toml` and is now installed with cargo when building in CI. This has also lead to a few new clippy issues to show up, this includes everything in the `font` subdirectory. This has been fixed and `font` should now be covered by clippy CI too. This also upgrades all dependencies, as a result this fixes #1341 and this fixes #1344. * Override dynamic_title when --title is specified * Change green implementation to use the macro * Ignore mouse input if window is unfocused * Make compilation of binary a phony target * Add opensuse zypper install method to readme * Fix clippy issues * Update manpage to document all CLI options The introduction of `--class` has added a flag to the CLI without adding it to the manpage. This has been fixed by updating the manpage. This also adds the default values of `--class` and `--title` to the CLI options. * Remove unnecessary clippy lint annotations We moved to "cargo clippy" in 5ba34d4f9766a55a06ed5e3e44cc384af1b09f65 and removing the clippy lint annotations in `src/lib.rs` does not cause any additional warnings. This also changes `cargo clippy` to use the flags required for checking integration tests. * Enable clippy in font/copypasta crates Enabled clippy in the sub-crates font and copypasta. All issues that were discovered by this change have also been fixed. * Remove outdated comment about NixOS * Replace debug asserts with static_assertions To check that transmutes will work correctly without having to rely on error-prone runtime checking, the `static_assertions` crate has been introduced. This allows comparing the size of types at compile time, preventing potentially silent breakage. This fixes #1417. * Add `cargo deb` build instructions Updated the `Cargo.toml` file and added a `package.metadata.deb` subsection to define how to build a debian "deb" install file using `cargo deb`. This will allow debian/ubuntu users to install `alacritty` using their system's package manager. It also will make it easier to provide pre-built binaries for those systems. Also fixed a stray debug line in the bash autocomplete script that was writting to a tempfile. * Add config for unfocused window cursor change * Add support for cursor shape escape sequence * Add bright foreground color option It was requested in jwilm/alacritty#825 that it should be possible to add an optional bright foreground color. This is now added to the primary colors structure and allows the user to set a foreground color for bold normal text. This has no effect unless the draw_bold_text_with_bright_colors option is also enabled. If the color is not specified, the bright foreground color will fall back to the normal foreground color. This fixes #825. * Fix clone URL in deb install instructions * Fix 'cargo-deb' desktop file name * Remove redundant dependency from deb build * Switch from deprecated `std::env::home_dir` to `dirs::home_dir` * Allow specifying modifiers for mouse bindings * Send newline with NumpadEnter * Add support for LCD-V pixel mode * Add binding action for hiding the window * Switch to rustup clippy component * Add optional dim foreground color Add optional color for the dim foreground (`\e[2m;`) Defaults to 2/3 of the foreground color. (same as other colors). If a bright color is dimmed, it's displayed as the normal color. The exception for this is when the bright foreground is dimmed when no bright foreground color is set. In that case it's treated as a normal foreground color and dimmed to DimForeground. To minimize the surprise for the user, the bright and dim colors have been completely removed from the default configuration file. Some documentation has also been added to make it clear to users what these options can be used for. This fixes #1448. * Fix clippy lints and run font tests on travis This fixes some existing clippy issues and runs the `font` tests through travis. Testing of copypasta crate was omitted due to problens when running on headless travis-ci environment (x11 clipboard would fail). * Ignore errors when logger can't write to output The (e)print macro will panic when there is no output available to write to, however in our scenario where we only log user errors to stderr, the better choice would be to ignore when writing to stdout or stderr is not possible. This changes the (e)print macro to make use of `write` and ignore any potential errors. Since (e)println rely on (e)print, this also solves potential failuers when calling (e)println. With this change implemented, all of logging, (e)println and (e)print should never fail even if the stdout/stderr is not available.
2018-07-26Fix trailing colors when leaving vim after resizeChristian Duerr
There is an issue where the terminal would use the template cell to fill new space after resizing the terminal. However this leads to issues since the template cell is not always empty and thus can create some blocks of color appearing out of nowhere. This should fix this problem by always initializing cells with the default cell after resizing.

2018-07-23Add optional dim foreground colorRémi Garde
Add optional color for the dim foreground (`\e[2m;`) Defaults to 2/3 of the foreground color. (same as other colors). If a bright color is dimmed, it's displayed as the normal color. The exception for this is when the bright foreground is dimmed when no bright foreground color is set. In that case it's treated as a normal foreground color and dimmed to DimForeground.

2018-07-15Add `cargo deb` build instructionsMicha Gorelick
Updated the `Cargo.toml` file and added a `package.metadata.deb` subsection to define how to build a debian "deb" install file using `cargo deb`. This will allow debian/ubuntu users to install `alacritty` using their system's package manager. It also will make it easier to provide pre-built binaries for those systems. Also fixed a stray debug line in the bash autocomplete script that was writting to a tempfile.
2018-07-09Disable scroll buffer for "alt" GridJoe Wilm
The scroll history size for the alternative grid (used by fullscreen apps such as vim and tmux) is now forced to zero. There are two motivations for this change: 1. According to the literature, the alt screen should not have scroll history. 2. Reduce memory consumption by only allocating the single scroll history. In the future, it may be desirable to support a configuration option to enable a scroll buffer for the alt screen. By launching without this feature, we can delay a decision about whether to officially support this or not.
2018-07-06Fix incorrect cell side in selectionChristian Duerr
Previously the cell side of a selection with the mouse outside of the grid has been calculated by setting the `Side` to `Right` whenever the `X` of the mouse is bigger or equal to `window_width - padding_x`. However since the grid doesn't perfectly fit the window in most cases, there was an additional few pixels where the `Side` would be `Left`, resulting in the selection jumping around. To fix this the additional padding due to not perfectly fitting window size has been included in the calculation. The `X` position is now checked to be bigger or equal to `width - padding_x - extra_padding_x`. An important note is that this will need changing when the grid is centered inside the window, so extra padding is split up evenly. Once that change is merged the calculation required will be `width - padding_x - extra_padding_x / 2.`. This fixes #1412.
2018-07-05Replace debug asserts with static_assertionsChristian Duerr
To check that transmutes will work correctly without having to rely on error-prone runtime checking, the `static_assertions` crate has been introduced. This allows comparing the size of types at compile time, preventing potentially silent breakage. This fixes #1417.

2018-07-02Enable clippy in font/copypasta cratesMatthias Krüger
Enabled clippy in the sub-crates font and copypasta. All issues that were discovered by this change have also been fixed.
2018-07-02Fix scrollback accessing indices out of boundsChristian Duerr
There have been two instances of the scrollback trying to access indices which were moved out of bounds due to new lines (`yes` command). These have both been fixed. The first instance was during semantic selection, since the logic of limiting the selection start point was moved outside of `compute_index`, it was necessary to add this to semantic selection too. Now semantic selection, line selection and normal selection should all work without crashing when new lines are shoving the selection out of bounds. The other error was with the viewport being outside of the scrollback history. Since the default is to keep the scrollback buffer at its current position when new lines are added, it is possible that the position the scrollback buffer is at is suddenly shoved out of the visible area. To fix this the `display_offset` is now limited to always be an allowed value. If a single line of the viewport is moved out of the history now, the viewport should move down a single line now, so only valid content is displayed, with multiple lines this process is repeated. This fixes #1400. There was another error where the iterator would attempt to iterate before the first line in the history buffer, this was because the bounds of the `prev` iterator weren't setup correctly. The iterator should now properly iterate from the first cell in the terminal until the last one. This also fixes #1406, since these semantic selection errors were partiall related to indexing.
2018-07-01Remove unnecessary clippy lint annotationsMatthias Krüger
We moved to "cargo clippy" in 5ba34d4f9766a55a06ed5e3e44cc384af1b09f65 and removing the clippy lint annotations in `src/lib.rs` does not cause any additional warnings. This also changes `cargo clippy` to use the flags required for checking integration tests.
2018-07-01Update manpage to document all CLI optionsChristian Duerr
The introduction of `--class` has added a flag to the CLI without adding it to the manpage. This has been fixed by updating the manpage. This also adds the default values of `--class` and `--title` to the CLI options.

2018-06-17Move to cargo clippyChristian Duerr
Using clippy as a library has been deprecated, instead the `cargo clippy` command should be used instead. To comply with this change clippy has been removed from the `Cargo.toml` and is now installed with cargo when building in CI. This has also lead to a few new clippy issues to show up, this includes everything in the `font` subdirectory. This has been fixed and `font` should now be covered by clippy CI too. This also upgrades all dependencies, as a result this fixes #1341 and this fixes #1344.
2018-06-16Optimize indexing of the grid's raw bufferChristian Duerr
The `compute_index` method in the `Storage` struct used to normalize indices was responsible for a significant amount of the CPU time spent while running the `alt-screen-random-write` benchmark (~50%). The issue with this relatively simple method was that due to how often the method is executed, the modulo operation was too expensive. Instead of the modulo, a more conservative branch has been put in place which has a very efficient best-case (which is hit most of the time). Until now the methods for growing/shrinking the storage buffer and compute_index have been written with the assumption that `self.zero` might be bigger than `self.inner.len()`. However there is no reason why `self.zero` wouldn't be constrained to always be within the size of the raw buffer, so this has been changed to make things a little simpler and more explicit. Instead of clamping the selection to be within the buffer inside the storage, this is now checked in the selection logic to remove all selection-specific logic from `storage.rs`.
2018-06-16Add Copy/Cut/Paste keysChristian Duerr
This just adds support for the Copy/Cut/Paste keys and sets up Copy/Paste as alternative defaults for Ctrl+Shift+C/V.
2018-06-08Reduce Increase-/DecreaseFontSize step to 0.5Felippe da Motta Raposo
Until now the Increase-/DecreaseFontSize keybinds hand a step size of 1.0. Since the font size however is multiplied by two to allow more granular font size control, this lead to the bindings skipping one font size (incrementing/decrementing by +-2). To fix this the step size of the Increase-/DecreaseFontSize bindings has been reduced to the minimum step size that exists with the current font configuration (0.5). This should allow users to increment and decrement the font size by a single point instead of two. This also adds a few tests to make sure the methods for increasing/decreasing/resetting font size work properly.

2018-06-07Allow disabling DPI scalingChristian Duerr
This makes it possible to disable DPI scaling completely, instead the the display pixel ration will always be fixed to 1.0. By default nothing has changed and DPI is still enabled, this just seems like a better way than running `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR=1.0 alacritty` every time the user wants to start alacritty.
