The "unimplemented OSC command" warning is a frequent source of red
herrings as there are many OSCs that we parse but deliberately do not
implement. It's also a small drag on performance due to the function
call overhead and the overhead of formatting and outputting the message.
This PR lowers the message from warning to debug. Debug logs are
compiled out of release builds so there should be less confusion from
general users who will no longer see the message.
Adds the `selection_for_search` action, with Cmd+E keybind by default.
This action inputs the currently selected text into the search
field without changing focus, matching standard macOS behavior.
This fixes the Windows build failure discussed in
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/10148
When building on Windows, `symbols-unigen` and `props-unigen` crash with
`error.FileTooBig` because `stdout.end()` calls `setEndPos()` to
truncate the output. Windows does not support `SetEndOfFile` on pipes or
console handles - it returns `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER`, which Zig maps
to `error.FileTooBig`.
Using `flush()` instead of `end()` is correct here because:
1. `end()` flushes AND truncates - useful when overwriting files that
might have leftover content
2. For stdout captured as a pipe, there's nothing to truncate - we're
writing sequentially to a fresh pipe
3. `flush()` ensures all buffered data is sent, which is all that's
needed
CI before fix was failing with FileTooBig, after fix builds
successfully:

This PR simplifies and corrects the logic for placing a glyph
vertically, by using the `position.y` from `CoreText` directly, instead
of using an offset from the cell's starting `y`. The logic was incorrect
from the beginning, always treating the first glyph of a cell as being
at `y` of zero. We only need to be subtracting the cell's starting `x`
to align the glyphs to the cell grid.
Enabling the commented out logging, I found no instances of `position.y
differs from old offset.y` lines with `JetBrains Mono` with ligatures
turned on, but running
[ttylang](https://github.com/jacobsandlund/ttylang) (printing the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights in various languages) revealed 676
instances of this, with many only slightly off.
An example log from some Tai Tham text is the following, and this PR
adds a test based on this:
```
...pos=(0.00,-8.21) run_offset=(69.41,-8.21) cell_offset=(69.41,-8.21) old offset.y=0.00 cps = \u{1a49}\u{1a60} \u{1a3f}▸\u{1a69} \u{1a2f} → ᩉ᩠ᨿᩩᨯ
```

Since this is a ligature of two different grapheme clusters, Ghostty
ends up subtracting too much of the `x` value with the `cell_offset.x`
(starting x), so neither of the screenshots above are correct, but the
second is closer and gets the `y` value right.
AI disclaimer: I didn't use AI for the code, but did ask it about this
Tai Tham text and why it wasn't a single grapheme cluster:

The VT formatter was treating cells without text as blank and emitting
them as plain spaces, losing any background color styling. This caused
TUIs like htop to lose their background colors when rehydrating terminal
state (e.g., after detach/reattach in zmx).
For styled formats (VT/HTML), cells with background colors or style_id
are now emitted with proper SGR sequences and a space character instead
of being accumulated as unstyled blanks.
Adds handling for bg_color_palette and bg_color_rgb content tags which
were previously unreachable.

On main, after rearranging panes, the window becomes permanently
immovable. Grab handles temporarily set `window.isMovable = false` on
hover to prevent window dragging from interfering with pane drags
(fixing [#10110](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/10110)),
but the restoration logic failed when views were destroyed during pane
rearrangement (which happens each time a pane is rearranged).
The previous approach managed `window.isMovable` state across the view
lifecycle:
1. `mouseEntered` → saved and disabled `window.isMovable`
2. View removed during rearrangement → `mouseExited` never fired
3. `deinit` ran with `self.window` already nil → restoration failed
4. Window stuck with `isMovable = false`
Instead of managing window state, prevent the mouseDown event from
reaching the window's drag handler by overriding mouse event handling in
the grab handle view.
Per [Apple's Event Handling
Guide](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/HandlingMouseEvents/HandlingMouseEvents.html):
> Custom NSView objects should not invoke super in their implementations
of NSResponder mouse-event-handling methods such as mouseDown:,
mouseDragged: and mouseUp: unless it is known that the inherited
implementation provides some needed functionality.
This eliminates all state management while solving both the original
issue (#10110) and the new bug.
AI disclosure: claude code found and wrote the fix. I tested it manually
to see that it works. I pressed claude quite hard here to come up with
the best fix, and looked at documentation to understand what the fix was
doing. It seems like this is a better approach overall to preventing the
main window from being dragged when grabbing the Surface Drag handle.
After rearranging panes, the window becomes permanently unmovable.
Grab handles temporarily set `window.isMovable = false` on hover to prevent
window dragging from interfering with pane dragging.
Override `viewWillMove(toWindow:)` to catch when the view is being removed from
the window. This lifecycle method is called before the window reference
becomes nil, allowing us to restore `window.isMovable`.
When using split panes with custom shaders, unfocused panes receive
frame re-draws when mod keys are held or when the mouse hovers over a
link. This behavior is desirable in general, but shaders have no way to
detect when the frames they are drawing are "real" or a momentary glitch
frame.
Fixes#8456 indirectly, by allowing the shader to be updated to handle
this situation.
This PR adds two new shadertoy uniforms:
```glsl
float iTimeFocus
```
- Timestamp of when the surface last gained focus (set to current iTime,
similar to iTimeCursorChange timestamp)
- Allows calculating time since focus: iTime - iTimeFocus
- Resets on each focus gain, enabling "focus trigger" animations
- Uses the same focus state signal that changes unfocused-split-fill
config option
```glsl
float iFocus
```
- Current focus state: 1.0 when focused, 0.0 when unfocused
- Simple boolean check: if (iFocus == 1.0)
- This indicates that the frame being rendered is a defocused frame (for
example, upon leaving the surface, or when a mod key is held or an OSC8
link is hovered), allowing shaders to apply consistently instead of
flashing.
## Example
This does nothing, but it does show the two costumes and how you might
use them
```glsl
void mainImage(out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord) {
if (iFocus == 1.0) {
// Focused: animate based on time since focus
float timeSinceFocus = iTime - iTimeFocus;
// Resume normal animation
} else {
// Unfocused: dim or hide effects
}
}
```
Here's the included example shader being applied to this test build:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4932e12f-6a1c-42dd-81f3-19da9a551c95
And here's a [more exciting
shader](https://github.com/martinemde/dotfiles/blob/main/home/dot_config/ghostty/focus_vignette.glsl)
that locates your cursor upon switching to a surface, renders a
fade/zoom in of the cursor on focus, and applies a shadow vignette to
the defocused surfaces.

AI disclosure: I used claude code to generate everything is this PR, but
I reviewed it, understand what it is doing, tested it manually, and
believe it is correct. I also tested by directly creating shadertoys
that use the new costumes (shown above) and have uploaded the examples
here showing that it works.
When you press a keyboard shortcut that has a menu equivalent, the menu
bar should flash briefly. This is standard macOS behavior.
This change calls `performKeyEquivalent` on the main menu before
checking Ghostty bindings, so shortcuts with menu items get handled by
the menu system first.
This works for most shortcuts - Cmd+V, Cmd+N, Cmd+T, etc. all flash now.
Won't flash for `performable: true` (like Cmd+C copy) -- excluded from
menu: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/2811
The change skips menu handling when in a key sequence or key table, so
those still work correctly.
The issue is in ghostty_src/src/terminal/formatter.zig#L1117-L1129:
- Cells without text are treated as "blank" (line 1117-1119) - this includes cells that only have background colors
- When blank cells are emitted, they're plain spaces (line 1129) - writer.splatByteAll(' ', blank_cells) outputs spaces without any SGR styling
- Background-only cells (bg_color_palette, bg_color_rgb) are marked unreachable (lines 1233-1235) because the code assumes hasText() already filtered them
This means when htop draws a row like:
`[green bg]CPU: 45%[red bg] [default]`
The trailing cells with red background but no text get accumulated as blanks and emitted as plain spaces - losing the background color.
This updates our Imgui version from 1.90.6 to 1.92.5 which is almost 18
months of changes. In the process, we've also migrated from cimgui to
Dear Bindings, the official way to do C bindings.
This PR doesn't contain any functionality changes, only the dependency
change and API changes necessary to achieve the same behavior.
