- Display keybindings grouped by their source table, with table name as prefix
- Sort default bindings before table bindings, maintaining visual hierarchy
- Support keybindings defined in key tables alongside default bindings
- Enable users to discover all available keybindings across the entire config
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`.

https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/9745 but it seemed
simple enough to add, pretty much copies how the previewer sorts based
on color
This allows --color argument to work when using --plain to sort the list
returned
std.fs.makeDirAbsolute() only creates the last directory. We instead
need Dir.makePath() to make the entire path, including intermediate
directories.
This fixes the problem where a missing $XDG_STATE_HOME directory (e.g.
~/.local/state/) would prevent our ssh cache file from being created.
Fixes#9393
contains() checks the cache for an existing entry. It's a read-only
operation, so we can drop the write bit and fixupPermissions() call.
This is also consistent with the list() operation.
fixupPermissions() is unnecessary in this code path. It provided minimal
additional security because all of our creation and update operations
enforce 0o600 (owner-only) permissions, so anyone tampering with this
file has already gotten around that. The contents of this (ssh host
cache) file are also not sensitive enough to warrant any additional
hardening on reads.
Remove the semi-magic upper bound on the total cache key length. The
hostname and username validation routines will perform their own length
checks.
Also consolidate this function's tests. We previously had a few
redundant test cases.
The host validation code previously expected IPv6 addresses to be
enclosed in [brackets], but that's not how ssh(1) expects them.
This change removes that requirement and reimplements the host
validation routine to check for valid hostnames and IP addresses (IPv4
and IPv6) using standard routines rather than custom logic.
Update libvaxis. The latest commit of libvaxis includes `uucode` as the
unicode
library. `uucode` has a much cleaner API and is actively developed by a
Ghostty
maintainer (@jacobsandlund). This also has the advantage of removing the
last
transitive dependency Ghostty has that is hosted on codeberg, which
separates us
from the frequent outages.

Resolves#8689
For various reason, ghostty wants to have a unique file extension for
the config files. The name was settled on `config.ghostty`. This will
help with tooling. See #8438 (original discussion) for more details.
This PR introduces the preferred default of `.ghostty` while still
supporting the previous `config` file. If both files exist, a warning
log is sent.
The docs / website will need to be updated to reflect this change.
> [!NOTE]
> Only tested on macOS 26.0.

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`.
Fixes#8386
This is a fairly simple implementaion, there's no interactivity or
searching. It will adapt the number of columns to the available width of
the display though.
Will fallback to a plain text dump if there's no tty or the `--plain`
argument is specified on the CLI.
There are still problems linking due to `gettext`. No idea if this
actually _works_ on Windows. File locking had to be disabled on Windows
because of a bug in the Zig std library. Adding all of the explicit
error sets happened due to disabling file locking. Fixing permissions
had to be disabled on Windows as the Windows file system does not
support permissions in the way that POSIX systems like macOS and Linux
do.
Instead of using @hasDecl, use a performAction-stype API. The C
interface for interfacing with macOS (or any other apprt where Ghostty
is embedded) is unfinished.
This adds the `-e` flag to the `+new-window` CLI action. This allows a
command to be passed from the CLI to the running instance of Ghostty.
Nothing is done with that command besides logging its presence.
- Add a `GHOSTTY_CLASS` environment variables to any command executed by
Ghostty to make discovering the correct application ID easier.
- Add a flag to force the relelase application ID.
- Ensure that CLI flags to `+new-window` are mutually exclusive.
- Fix documentation about D-Bus activation requirements.
This will (on GTK) use a D-Bus method call to tell a running
Ghostty instance to open a new window. If D-Bus activation is
configured properly, Ghostty does not need to be running first.
This could be extended to other platforms, e.g. AppleScript on macOS
eventually.
When Ghostty develops a native API, that could be used instead to create
a new window.
