2021-05-28Fix crashes with cut-off fullwidth charactersChristian Duerr
There's a few places in Alacritty where it was assumed that after a WIDE_CHAR cell, there'd always be a WIDE_CHAR_SPACER. However since resizes in the alternate screen buffer do not reflow any content, it's possible to have a WIDE_CHAR without any WIDE_CHAR_SPACER right behind it. This patch changes these instances to be more defensive about accepting potentially unreasonable input data caused by alt screen resizes. Fixes #5185. Fixes #5170.
2021-05-22Improve rendering performanceChristian Duerr
This PR combines a couple of optimizations to drastically reduce the time it takes to gather everything necessary for rendering Alacritty's terminal grid. To help with the iteration over the grid, the `DisplayIter` which made heavy use of dynamic dispatch has been replaced with a simple addition to the `GridIterator` which also had the benefit of making the code a little easier to understand. The hints/search check for each cell was always performing an array lookup before figuring out that the cell is not part of a hint or search. Since the general case is that the cell is neither part of hints or search, they've been wrapped in an `Option` to make verifying their activity a simple `is_some()` check. For some reason the compiler was also struggling with the `cursor` method of the `RenderableContent`. Since the iterator is explicitly drained, the performance took a hit of multiple milliseconds for a single branch. Our implementation does never reach the case where draining the iterator would be necessary, so this sanity check has just been replaced with a `debug_assert`. Overall this has managed to reduce the time it takes to collect all renderable content from ~7-8ms in my large grid test to just ~3-4ms.

Fixes #3726.
2021-04-22Fix cursor expansion across wide charsChristian Duerr
This fixes a regression introduced in 0.7.0 where the block cursor would not expand across both cells anymore when on top of a wide char spacer cell. The logic to always move the cursor on the wide char instead of the spacer has been moved to the alacritty_terminal crate, making sure it is always performed before any processing in the UI.

2021-03-01Add regex terminal hintsChristian Duerr
This adds support for hints, which allow opening parts of the visual buffer with external programs if they match a certain regex. This is done using a visual overlay triggered on a specified key binding, which then instructs the user which keys they need to press to pass the text to the application. In the future it should be possible to supply some built-in actions for Copy/Pasting the action and using this to launch text when clicking on it with the mouse. But the current implementation should already be useful as-is. Fixes #2792. Fixes #2536.
2021-03-01Remove incorrect changelog entryChristian Duerr
Since the bug was not present in the 0.7.2 release, there is no need to add a changelog entry for this fix.
2021-02-27Run clippy on MSRVChristian Duerr
Since not all suggested clippy lints by stable clippy are supported on the MSRV of Alacritty, this commit moves the clippy checks to the MSRV. Unfortunately this will mean that our lints might be significantly behind, however it ensures our CI never blocks any code that should be valid. Developers themselves of course can still run the latest clippy to follow the up to date recommendations.
2021-02-26Fix hollow block cursor being drawn for hidden cursorKirill Chibisov
Commit 530de00 refactored large chunk of Alacritty's internal handling of renderable cells, cursors, and such. This patch fixes a regression where a hollow block cursor was drawn for unfocused windows even if the terminal cursor was hidden.
2021-02-26Fix vi cursor after leaving searchChristian Duerr
This resolves an issue which caused the vi cursor position to be incorrect when leaving the search with the vi cursor at the far bottom. Previously this could lead to the vi cursor disappearing completely, when starting a vi mode search that has a match on the last line while the original vi mode cursor was right above it. Fixes #4833.
2021-02-24Add support for synchronized updatesChristian Duerr
This implements support for temporarily freezing the terminal grid to prevent rendering of incomplete frames. This can be triggered using the escapes `DCS = 1 s` (start) and `DCS = 2 s` (end). The synchronization is implemented by forwarding all received PTY bytes to a 2 MiB buffer. This should allow updating the entire grid even if it is fairly dense. Unfortunately this also means that another branch is necessary in Alacritty's parser which does have a slight performance impact. In a previous version the freezing was implemented by caching the renderable grid state whenever a synchronized update is started. While this strategy makes it possible to implement this without any performance impact without synchronized updates, a significant performance overhead is introduced whenever a synchronized update is started. Since this can happen thousands of times per frame, it is not a feasible solution. While it would be possible to render at most one synchronized update per frame, it is possible that another synchronized update comes in at any time and stays active for an extended period. As a result the state visible before the long synchronization would be the first received update per frame, not the last, which could lead to the user missing important information during the long freezing interval. Fixes #598.
2021-02-22Fix selection after search without matchChristian Duerr
This resolves an issue where the last match would be selected after leaving non-vi search, even if further changes to the search regex did not result in any matches. Fixes #4831.
2021-02-20Add version 0.7.2 to changelogChristian Duerr
2021-02-15Limit the maximum DPR on X11 to 10Christian Duerr
Since there have a bunch of problems caused by an excessive DPI reported by XRandr, this limits the maximum DPR on X11 to 10. These issues would commonly cause problems like long startup times or crashes, which are hard to troubleshoot for the user. While a limit of 10 might not eliminate all of these issues, it should still make it possible for Alacritty to start to make troubleshooting simpler. Fixes #3214.
2021-02-13Update dependenciesChristian Duerr
This introduces some duplicate dependencies, though they are necessary to build properly without any warnings. Fixes #4735.
2021-02-04Fix the estimated DPR to 1 on Wayland.Nathan Lilienthal
On Wayland, regardless of the underlying scale factor for an output, The scale factor is 1.0 until we receive the first DPRChanged event. To correctly calculate the window sizes, we must use a DPR of 1.0 as well. Ideally we would know what the DPR of the window we're being opened in is going to be, and avoid the estimation guessing game, but that doesn't seem possible with the current interfaces provided by the window systems.
2021-01-29Fix segmentation fault on shutdown with WaylandChristian Duerr
Fixes #4702.
2021-01-24Move renderable cell transformation to alacrittyChristian Duerr
This refactors a large chunk of the alacritty_terminal API to expose all data necessary for rendering uniformly through the `renderable_content` call. This also no longer transforms the cells for rendering by a GUI but instead just reports the content from a terminal emulation perspective. The transformation into renderable cells is now done inside the alacritty crate. Since the terminal itself only ever needs to know about modified color RGB values, the configuration for colors was moved to the alacritty UI code.
2021-01-17Update shell completionsJason
This fixes the shell completion by removing the flags removed from the CLI in 0768428 and adding the new options flag.

2021-01-08Fix jumping between matches in reverse vi searchChristian Duerr
Fixes #4676.
2021-01-04Bump development version to 0.8.0-devChristian Duerr
This is only an update to the development version and does not represent a stable release.
2021-01-01Fix movement between matches in vi-less searchChristian Duerr
This resolves various bugs related to vi-less search. The primary issue was that when jumping between matches more than 1000 lines apart, the search would get stuck and not advance between matches properly due to the 1000 line synchronous search limit. Some other issues related to the tracking of the search origin have also been fixed, improving the viewport positioning while interacting with the search outside of vi mode. This was done by keeping the search origin outside of the viewport, which allows for search to start right at the first character. Previously the search was on top of the first character which lead to it being excluded from search. Fixes #4626.
2021-01-01Add vi/search line indicatorChristian Duerr
This adds a new visual indicator which shows the position in history of either the display offset during search, or the vi mode cursor. To make it as unintrusive as possible, the overlay is hidden whenever the vi mode cursor collides with its position. Fixes #3984.
2021-01-01Remove Windows WinPTY backendChristian Duerr
2020-12-31Add default binding to cancel search on Ctrl+CChristian Duerr
Fixes #4612.
2020-12-31Fix Wayland crash due to fontconfigChristian Duerr
Fixes #4591.
2020-12-31Fix characters getting swallowed during IME inputChristian Duerr
This reverts 1d00883 since it is not necessary anymore after all search bindings are now proper key bindings. This fixes a bug which would cause the first character to be swallowed when using IME after triggering any key binding which doesn't send any `ReceivedCharacter` event. Fixes #4588.
2020-12-28Draw cursor with rect rendererKirill Chibisov
This commit makes cursors being drawn via rects, thus it's always above underlines/strikeouts. Also, since the cursor isn't a glyph anymore, it can't be obscured due to atlas switching while glyphs are rendered. Fixes #4404. Fixes #3471.
2020-12-23Hide "missing" glyp for zerowidth characterKirill Chibisov
This patch prevents missing zerowidth glyphs from obscuring the rendered glyph of a cell. The missing glyph itself is also consistently loaded and displayed on all platforms. It is initialized once together with the ascii symbols and then written to the atlas only once for every cached missing glyph. Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <contact@christianduerr.com>
2020-12-21Fix artifacts on macOS with transparent windowsChristian Duerr
Due to the way macOS draws shadows for transparent windows, resizing them will lead to text artifacts remaining present after a window has been resized. The `invalidateShadow` call is used whenever the opacity isn't `1.0` to make sure these shadows are cleared before redrawing, so no artifacts remain when resizing transparent windows. Fixes #889.
2020-12-21Replace serde's derive with custom proc macroChristian Duerr
This replaces the existing `Deserialize` derive from serde with a `ConfigDeserialize` derive. The goal of this new proc macro is to allow a more error-friendly deserialization for the Alacritty configuration file without having to manage a lot of boilerplate code inside the configuration modules. The first part of the derive macro is for struct deserialization. This takes structs which have `Default` implemented and will only replace fields which can be successfully deserialized. Otherwise the `log` crate is used for printing errors. Since this deserialization takes the default value from the struct instead of the value, it removes the necessity for creating new types just to implement `Default` on them for deserialization. Additionally, the struct deserialization also checks for `Option` values and makes sure that explicitly specifying `none` as text literal is allowed for all options. The other part of the derive macro is responsible for deserializing enums. While only enums with Unit variants are supported, it will automatically implement a deserializer for these enums which accepts any form of capitalization. Since this custom derive prevents us from using serde's attributes on fields, some of the attributes have been reimplemented for `ConfigDeserialize`. These include `#[config(flatten)]`, `#[config(skip)]` and `#[config(alias = "alias)]`. The flatten attribute is currently limited to at most one per struct. Additionally the `#[config(deprecated = "optional message")]` attribute allows easily defining uniform deprecation messages for fields on structs.
2020-12-20Add search history supportChristian Duerr
This adds a history to the regex search limited to at most 255 entries. Whenever a search is either confirmed or cancelled, the last regex is entered into the history and can be accessed when a new search is started. This should help users recover complicated search regexes after accidentally discarding them, or handle repeated searches with the same regexes. Fixes #4095.
2020-12-19Add separate mode for search bindingsChristian Duerr
2020-12-17Fix crash due to clipboard not being properly released on WaylandKirill Chibisov
2020-12-17Fix invalid ESC escape sequence parsingChristian Duerr
This strictens the ESC escape sequence parser to prevent invalid intermediates from being ignored. Previously the parser would just look at the first intermediate without validating that the rest of them is empty. If an escape like `\e(#0` is used now, it will no longer be accepted as `\e(0` since the intermediate `#` is also present.
2020-12-17Increase file watcher delay on BSDChristian Duerr
Since BSD does not support inotify polling in the `notify` crate and instead relies on manual filesystem polling, this would cause a high CPU usage at 100 polls a second. A separate polling rate of once per second is now used for platforms which do not support filesystem polling, allowing users to still make use of live config reload on BSD. Fixes #3871.
2020-12-17Fix draining of PTY when holding on exitChristian Duerr
Fixes #4189.
2020-12-14Fix live reload with broken yaml on startChristian Duerr
Since the current behavior would just load the default configuration file whenever the configuration file couldn't be loaded, the path was not set to any value. As a result however, the live config reload feature would not work with a broken yaml (one which cannot be deserialized, not one with warnings). If a configuration file has been specified, but the deserialization still failed, the path is now preserved on the default configuration file to make it possible to live reload a fix for the issue. Fixes #4561.
2020-12-13Fix cursor reports with mouse outside of windowChristian Duerr
Previously Alacritty would not report cursor escapes to the application when a mouse button was held down and the mouse was moved. This prevents applications like tmux from updating their selection. Similarly to how windowing libraries keep reporting mouse events when the left mouse button is held down over the window, the escape sequences are now clamped to within the grid and reported to applications. Fixes #4566.
2020-12-11Bump glutin to 0.26.0Kirill Chibisov
Fixes #4530. Fixes #4072. Fixes #1927.
