Fixes#8849
Previously, the `parseAutoStruct` function that was used to parse
generic structs for the config simply split the input value on commas
without taking into account quoting or escapes. This led to problems
because it was impossible to include a comma in the value of config
entries that were parsed by `parseAutoStruct`. This is particularly
problematic because `ghostty +show-config --default` would produce
output like the following:
```
command-palette-entry = title:Focus Split: Next,description:Focus the next split, if any.,action:goto_split:next
```
Because the `description` contains a comma, Ghostty is unable to
parse this correctly. The value would be split into four parts:
```
title:Focus Split: Next
description:Focus the next split
if any.
action:goto_split:next
```
Instead of three parts:
```
title:Focus Split: Next
description:Focus the next split, if any.
action:goto_split:next
```
Because `parseAutoStruct` simply looked for commas to split on, no
amount of quoting or escaping would allow that to be parsed correctly.
This is fixed by (1) introducing a parser that will split the input
to `parseAutoStruct` into fields while taking into account quotes and
escaping. And (2) changing the `ghostty +show-config` output to put the
values in `command-palette-entry` into quotes so that Ghostty can parse
it's own output.
`parseAutoStruct` will also now parse double quoted values as a Zig
string literal. This makes it easier to embed control codes, whitespace,
and commas in values.
Detecting the launch source frequently failed because various launchers
fail to sanitize the environment variables that Ghostty used to
detect the launch source. For example, if your desktop environment was
launched by `systemd`, but your desktop environment did not sanitize the
`INVOCATION_ID` or the `JOURNAL_STREAM` environment variables, Ghostty
would assume that it had been launched by `systemd` and behave as such.
This led to complaints about Ghostty not creating new windows when users
expected that it would.
To remedy this, Ghostty no longer does any detection of the launch
source. If your launch source is something other than the CLI, it must
be explicitly speciflied on the CLI. All of Ghostty's default desktop
and service files do this. Users or packagers that create custom desktop
or service files will need to take this into account.
On GTK, the `desktop` setting for `gtk-single-instance` is replaced with
`detect`. `detect` behaves as `gtk-single-instance=true` if one of the
following conditions is true:
1. If no CLI arguments have been set.
2. If `--launched-from` has been set to `desktop`, `dbus`, or `systemd`.
Otherwise `detect` behaves as `gtk-single-instance=false`.
Fix regression from d44a6cde2c where
we halted parsing on deprecated fields, which was not the intended
behavior.
This commit fixes that and adds a test to verify it.
Fixes#7706
We previously had a very specific backwards compatibility handler for
handling renamed fields. We always knew that wouldn't scale but I wanted
to wait for a real case. Well, #7706 is a real case, so here we are.
This commit makes our backwards compatibility handler more general
purpose, and makes a special-case handler for renamed fields built on
top of this same general purpose system. The new system lets us do a lot
more with regards to backwards compatibility.
To start, this addresses #7706 by allowing us to handle a removed single
enum value of a still-existing field.
This adds a new configuration `input` that allows passing either raw
text or file contents as stdin when starting the terminal.
The input is sent byte-for-byte to the terminal, so control characters
such as `\n` will be interpreted by the shell and can be used to run
programs in the context of the loaded shell.
Example: `ghostty --input="hello, world\n"` will start the your default
shell, run `echo hello, world`, and then show the prompt.
This commit changes a LOT of areas of the code to use decl literals
instead of redundantly referring to the type.
These changes were mostly driven by some regex searches and then manual
adjustment on a case-by-case basis.
I almost certainly missed quite a few places where decl literals could
be used, but this is a good first step in converting things, and other
instances can be addressed when they're discovered.
I tested GLFW+Metal and building the framework on macOS and tested a GTK
build on Linux, so I'm 99% sure I didn't introduce any syntax errors or
other problems with this. (fingers crossed)
If a theme was not a file or a directory you could get a crash or a hang
(depending on platform) if the theme references a directory. This patch
also prevents attempts to load from other non-file sources.
Fixes: #5596
Fixes#4631
This introduces a mechanism by which parsed config fields can be renamed
to maintain backwards compatibility. This already has a use case --
implemented in this commit -- for `background-blur-radius` to be renamed
to `background-blur`.
The remapping is comptime-known which lets us do some comptime
validation. The remap check isn't done unless no fields match which
means for well-formed config files, there's no overhead.
For future improvements:
- We should update our config help generator to note renamed fields.
- We could offer automatic migration of config files be rewriting them.
- We can enrich the value type with more metadata to help with
config gen or other tooling.
Fixes#2747
I admit I don't fully understand this. But somehow, doing `var x: ?T =
undefined` in release fast mode makes `x` act as if its unset. I am
guessing since undefined does nothing to the memory, the memory layout
is such that it looks null for zeroed stack memory. This is a guess.
To fix this, I now initialize the type `T` and set it onto the optional
later. This commit also fixes an issue where calling `parseCLI` multiple
times on an optional would not modify the previous value if set.
- break formatting values out into a function so that we can
catch errors and never fail
- eliminate the use of toOwnedSentinelSlice since we are using
an arena to clean up memory
This fixes a regression from #2454. In that PR, we added an error when
positional arguments are detected. I believe that's correct, but we
were silently relying on the previous behavior in the CLI commands.
This commit changes the CLI commands to use a new argsIterator function
that creates an iterator that skips the first argument (argv0). This is
the same behavior that the config parsing does and now uses this shared
logic.
This also makes it so the argsIterator ignores actions (`+things`)
and we document that we expect those to be handled earlier.
Rather than storing a list of errors we now store a list of
"diagnostics." Each diagnostic has a richer set of structured
information, including a message, a key, the location where it occurred.
This lets us show more detailed messages, more human friendly messages, and
also let's us filter by key or location. We don't take advantage of
all of this capability in this initial commit, but we do use every field
for something.
The syntax of tagged unions is `tag:value`. This matches the tagged
union parsing syntax for keybindings (i.e. `new_split:right`).
I'm adding this now on its own without a user-facing feature because
I can see some places we might use this and I want to separate this out.
There is already a PR open now that can utilize this (#2231).
Allows for high dpi displays to get odd numbered pixel sizes, for
example, 13.5pt @ 2px/pt for 27px font. This implementation performs
all the sizing calculations with f32, rounding to the nearest pixel
size when it comes to rendering. In the future this can be enhanced
by adding fractional scaling to support fractional pixel sizes.
Fixes#1366
When we use `loadTheme`, we "replay" the configuration so that the theme
is the base configuration and everything else can override everything
the theme sets. During this process, we were not properly re-expanding
all the relative paths.
This fix works by changing our input tracking from solely tracking args
to tracking operations such as expansion as well. When we "replay" the
configuration we also replay operations such as path expansion with the
correct base path.
This also removes the `_inputs` special mechanism `cli/args.zig` had
because we can already do that ourselves using `parseManuallyHook`.
