2019-03-13Add text reflowChristian Duerr
Alacritty will now automatically reflow lines and shrink them when they would usually exceed the new width of the terminal instead of truncation. If a line had to be truncated, it will also be reflown into the previous line after growing the terminal width. The reflow behavior when not at the bottom of the history is similar to that of VTE and aims to keep the viewport stationary whenever possible. Opposed to VTE, reflow will also be performed in the alternate screen buffer. There will be bugs when resizing the terminal emulator to a size smaller than the prompt, though these issues were present in all terminal emulators with reflow support. This fixes #591.
2019-02-07Dynamically resize terminal for errors/warningsChristian Duerr
The warning and error messages now don't overwrite other terminal content anymore but instead resize the terminal to make sure that text can always be read. Instead of just showing that there is a new error and pointing to the log, errors will now be displayed fully in multiple lines of text, assuming that there is enough space left in the terminal. Explicit mouse click handling has also been added to the message bar, which made it possible to add a simple `close` button in the form of `[X]`. Alacritty's log file location is now stored in the `$ALACRITTY_LOG` environment variable which the shell inherits automatically. Previously there were some issues with the log file only being deleted when certain methods for closing Alacritty were used (like typing `exit`). This has been reworked and now Ctrl+D, exit and signals should all work properly. Before the config is reloaded, all current messages are now dropped. This should help with multiple terminals all getting clogged up at the same time when the config is broken. When one message is removed, all other duplicate messages are automatically removed too.
