End the currently active key sequence, if any, and flush the
keys up to this point to the terminal, excluding the key that
triggered this action.
For example: `ctrl+w>escape=end_key_sequence` would encode
`ctrl+w` to the terminal and exit the key sequence.
Normally, an invalid sequence will reset the key sequence and
flush all data including the invalid key. This action allows
you to flush only the prior keys, which is useful when you want
to bind something like a control key (`ctrl+w`) but not send
additional inputs.
Part of #9963
This adds a new special key `catch_all` that can be used in keybinding
definitions to match any key that is not explicitly bound. For example:
`keybind = catch_all=new_window` (chaos!).
`catch_all` can be used in combination with modifiers, so if you want to
catch any non-bound key with Ctrl held down, you can do:
`keybind = ctrl+catch_all=new_window`.
`catch_all` can also be used with trigger sequences, so you can do:
`keybind = ctrl+a>catch_all=new_window` to catch any key pressed after
`ctrl+a` that is not explicitly bound and make a new window!
And if you want to remove the catch all binding, it is like any other:
`keybind = catch_all=unbind`.
There have been frequent reports of key encoding issues in vim and tmux
with version 1.2.3 on macOS: #9340, #9361, #9401,
https://discord.com/channels/1005603569187160125/1432413679806320772.
I think I found the culprit: the option modifier is always passed as alt
to the core, regardless of `macos-option-as-alt`. Since #9289, this
means that a key event where option was used (as option) for translation
is encoded as if it also has the alt modifier.
For example, consider the many European keyboard layouts where option+8
sends `[`. If `macos-option-as-alt = true`, Ghostty correctly intercepts
the option and encodes option+8 as alt+8 instead (that is,
`^[[27;3;56~`). But if `macos-option-as-alt = false`, Ghostty first
allows option to be used for translation, obtaining `[`, and then
encodes the key event as alt+[ (that is, `^[[27;3;91~`), rather than
just `[`.
Tweaking the test case from #9289, here's a quick way to see this: set
`macos-option-as-alt = left`, run
```
printf '\033[>4;2m'
cat
```
choose a European keyboard layout (e.g., Norwegian), and hit both
left-option+8 and right-option+8. The former inserts `^[[27;3;56~` in
all well-behaved terminals. The latter inserts `[` in other terminals,
but `^[[27;3;91~` in Ghostty.
Basically, while modify other keys 2 does require encoding consumed
modifiers, the option key is not one of the supported modifiers, and
should not be included (as alt or anything else) when
`macos-option-as-alt = false`.
This PR removes alts that were actually options when using modify other
keys 2.
This adds a set of Wasm convenience functions to ease memory management.
These are all prefixed with `ghostty_wasm` and are documented as part of
the standard Doxygen docs.
I also added a very simple single-page HTML example that demonstrates
how to use the Wasm module for key encoding.
This also adds a bunch of safety checks to the C API to verify that
valid values are actually passed to the function. This is an easy to hit
bug.
**AI disclosure:** The example is AI-written with Amp. I read through
all the code and understand it but I can't claim there isn't a better
way, I'm far from a JS expert. It is simple and works currently though.
Happy to see improvements if anyone wants to contribute.
Fixes#8900
Our xterm modify other keys state 2 encoding was stripped consumed mods
from the keyboard event. This doesn't match xterm or other popular
terminal emulators (but most importantly: xterm). Use the full set of
mods and add a test to verify this.
Reproduction:
```
printf '\033[>4;2m'
cat
```
Then press `ctrl+shift+h` and compare across terminals.
Closes#8430
A few questions:
* Should I set a default keybind for `toggle-mouse-reporting`? The issue
mentioned one, it's currently unset.
* Am I handling the `toggle-mouse-reporting` action properly in
`performAction` (gtk) / `action` (macos)?
Copilot was used to understand the codebase, but code was authored
manually.
