OSC8 links were only detected when exact platform-specific modifiers were held (Cmd on macOS, Ctrl on Linux), but copy_url_to_clipboard should work with either. Additionally, OSC8 links were using selectionString() which gets visible text instead of the actual URI. Now we use osc8URI() for OSC8 links and fall back to selectionString() for regex-detected links.
Fixes#7491
## Summary
Implements the theme filtering hotkey as requested in #7930.
## Implementation
- Adds 'f' hotkey to cycle through filtering options: all, dark, and
light.
- Integrates with existing search functionality.
- Preserves CLI `--color` flag behavior for initial state.
- Updates help menu with the new hotkey.
**NOTE**: I noticed another PR
[#8079](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8079) opened. I
started this implementation independently prior and don't want to step
on any toes. Happy to collaborate or defer to maintainers.
Compromise solution to #7356
XKB is naughty. It's really really naughty. I don't understand why we
didn't just kill XKB with hammers during the Wayland migration and
change it for something much better. I don't understand why we're
content with what amounts to an OS-level software key remapper that
completely jumbles information about original physical key codes in
order to fake keyboard layouts, and not just let users who really want
to remap keys use some sort of evdev or udev-based mapper program.
In a sane system like macOS, the "c" key is always the "c" key, but it's
understood to produce the Unicode character "ц" when using a Russian
layout. XKB defies sanity, and just pretends that your "c" key is
actually a "ц" key instead, and so when you ask for the keybind "Ctrl+C"
it just shrugs in apathy (#7309). And so, we took matters into our own
hands and interpreted hardware keycodes ourselves.
But then, a *lot* of people have the ingrained muscle memory of swapping
Escape with Caps Lock so that it is easier to hit. We respect that. In a
sane system, they would use a remapper that actually makes the system
think you've hit the Escape key when in reality you've hit the Caps Lock
key, so in all intents and purposes to the OS and any app developer,
these two just have their wires swapped. But not on Linux. Somehow this
and the aforementioned case should be treated by the same key transform
algorithm, which is completely diabolical.
As a result, we have to settle for a compromise that truly satisfies
neither party — by allowing XKB remaps for keys that don't really change
depending on the layout.
The Linux input stack besets all hopes and aspirations.

This PR adds a new configuration option
`macos-dock-drop-folder-behavior` that controls whether folders dropped
onto the Ghostty dock icon open in a new tab (default) or a new window.
## Changes
### Configuration Option Added
- **Option name**: `macos-dock-drop-folder-behavior`
- **Valid values**:
- `tab` (default) - Opens folders in a new tab in the main window
- `window` - Opens folders in a new window
- **Platform**: macOS only
### Files Modified
1. **`src/config/Config.zig`**
- Added `MacOSDockDropFolderBehavior` enum with `tab` and `window`
values
- Added configuration field with default value of `.tab`
- Added documentation explaining the option
2. **`macos/Sources/Ghostty/Package.swift`**
- Added `MacOSDockDropFolderBehavior` enum to match the Zig enum
3. **`macos/Sources/Ghostty/Ghostty.Config.swift`**
- Added `macosDockDropFolderBehavior` computed property to access the
configuration value from Swift
4. **`macos/Sources/App/macOS/AppDelegate.swift`**
- Modified `application(_:openFile:)` method to check the configuration
- When a folder is dropped on the dock icon, it now respects the user's
preference
## Usage
Add to your Ghostty configuration file:
```
macos-dock-drop-folder-behavior = window
```
## Motivation
This feature is useful for users (like me!) who prefer window-based
workflows over tab-based workflows when opening folders via drag and
drop on macOS.
This adds a new configuration option that controls whether folders
dropped onto the Ghostty dock icon open in a new tab (default) or
a new window.
The option accepts two values:
- tab: Opens folders in a new tab in the main window (default)
- window: Opens folders in a new window
This is useful for users who prefer window-based workflows over
tab-based workflows when opening folders via drag and drop.
This contains the various changes necessary to get the full unit test
suite passing Valgrind, and configures CI to run this.
I disabled relatively few (less than 10) tests under Valgrind because
they're way too slow: all `verifyIntegrity` tests, because those run
anyways in debug and check their own memory health, a font test that
fills out font map, and the sprite render test. Everything else runs
as-is.
I found a number of issues, most were in the tests themselves. A couple
in actual code. A funny one was some undefined memory on tabstop resize
if you exceed the default number of tabstops. I don't know any real
world program that ever even did that (memory issue aside), and that
whole file hasn't been touched since 2022, so that was funny.
No memory leaks in actual code, but a number of leaks in tests. All
resolved.
I think we're still missing some reports because of the Zig bug:
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/19148 so I'm gong to audit our
codebase after this and look for cases of that.
When constraints increased or decreased the size significantly, the
fractional position was getting messed up by the scale. This change
separates that out so that it applies correctly.
I noticed this when messing around with constraints, adding this
constraint to every glyph and then running with `font-family=Arial` and
`adjust-cell-width = -35%` (if you want to reproduce this)
```zig
constraint = .{
.size_horizontal = .stretch,
.align_horizontal = .center,
.pad_left = 0.1,
.pad_right = 0.1,
};
```
The padding was disproportionately affecting thin glyphs that were
stretched a lot. The problem was that the padding was being multiplied
by the scale.
This also made it so the top or right of said thin glyphs often got
clipped off by the edge of the canvas.
Anyway I fixed it.

This lets our `test-valgrind` command catch some issues. We'll have to
follow this pattern in more places but I want to do it incrementally so
things keep passing.
I **do not** want to blindly follow this pattern everywhere. I want to
start by focusing in only on the structs that set `undefined` as default
fields that we're also about to test in isolation with Valgrind. Its
just too much noise otherwise and not a general style I'm sure of; it's
worth it for Valgrind though.
This adds two explicit `zig build` steps: `run-valgrind` and
`test-valgrind` to run the Ghostty exe or tests under Valgrind,
respectively.
This simplifies the manual Valgrind calls in a few ways:
1. It automatically sets the CPU to baseline, which is a frequent and
requirement for Valgrind on newer CPUs, and generally safe.
2. It sets up the rather complicated set of flags to call Valgrind with,
importantly setting up our suppressions.
3. It enables pairing it with the typical and comfortable workflow of
specifying extra args (with `--`) or flags like `-Dtest-filter` for
tests.

This properly handles the scenario with our `read_text` C API when the
selection start is outside the viewport. Previously we'd report null (no
text) which would cascade into things like the right click menu not
showing a copy option.
This MR addresses #4404 following the approach suggested
[here](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/4404#issuecomment-2708410143).
Implementing the behavior known e.g. from Putty or Windows Terminal.
The following configuration values for `right-click-action` are
provided:
* `context-menu` - Show the context menu.
* `paste` - Paste the contents of the clipboard.
* `copy` - Copy the selected text to the clipboard.
* `copy-and-paste` - Copy the selected text to the clipboard, paste if
nothing is selected.
* `ignore` - Do nothing, ignore the right-click.
I followed #5935 for getting an idea on where to start. I hope this to
be a temporary solution until "bindable mouse bindings" are introduced.
This is my first time writing Zig code, so I am happy to incorporate any
feedback.
Thank you all very much for your work!
The `gdk.Surface` is only ever available *after* the window had been
first presented and mapped. Trying to get the surface during `init` like
what we had previously done will **always** return null.
Previously, when encountering an OOM when copying graphemes, hyperlinks,
or styles to a new page during reflow, the attempted resolution was to
copy the current row in to a new page and continue on- which works in
99% of cases, but isn't sound, since it's possible for a single row to
exceed the capacity on any of these.
This led to rare but real crashes like #8009.
I've added tests that produce all of the failure conditions, and
resolved them by changing the strategy from making a new page to
increasing the capacity of the current one.
There should probably be some level of abstraction added around this,
since multiple places in the code now do this sort of thing- attempt to
add some managed memory to a page, adjusting their capacity upwards as
necessary. But for now, I kept it all inline here.

When window-decoration=none, setting the window decoration to null would
just mean it would default to none again, creating a cycle of torment
none can break out of... that sounds a bit too dramatic doesn't it
Fixes#8274
In our webgen we treat 4 consecutive spaces as a code block, which is
often triggered by mistake when a paragraph is encased within a list.
We should probably fix this more thoroughly at some point since I don't
think actual Markdown parsers have the same behavior, but for now we
just fall back to using 3-space indents.
As an example of this occurring on the tip website:

This fixes the incorrect comment and uses $HOME (rather than ~) to be a
little bit more explicit.
Also, our script is named ghostty-integration, not ghostty.zsh, so
update that part of the comment, too.
