2021-04-13Add vi/mouse hint highlighting supportChristian Duerr
This patch removes the old url highlighting code and replaces it with a new implementation making use of hints as sources for finding matches in the terminal.
2021-04-03Add copy/paste/select hint actionsChristian Duerr
This adds some built-in actions for handling hint selections without having to spawn external applications. The new actions are `Copy`, `Select` and `Paste`.
2021-03-01Add regex terminal hintsChristian Duerr
This adds support for hints, which allow opening parts of the visual buffer with external programs if they match a certain regex. This is done using a visual overlay triggered on a specified key binding, which then instructs the user which keys they need to press to pass the text to the application. In the future it should be possible to supply some built-in actions for Copy/Pasting the action and using this to launch text when clicking on it with the mouse. But the current implementation should already be useful as-is. Fixes #2792. Fixes #2536.
2021-02-24Add sync update terminfo and docsChristian Duerr
This adds documentation stating that Alacritty supports the synchronized update escape, which was implemented in 9575aed. Since tmux does check terminfo for this feature, the `Sync` capability has also been added. Tmux's implementation can be found here: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/f5b7ebc540fe3db5c3a5fe97d01de44551e76058/tty-features.c#L185
2020-11-23Add blinking cursor supportDettorer
This adds support for blinking the terminal cursor. This can be controlled either using the configuration file, or using escape sequences. The supported control sequences for changing the blinking state are `CSI Ps SP q` and private mode 12.
2020-10-10Add support for urgency hints CSITaylor Blau
Teach Alacritty to stop setting the window as urgent upon a bell by emulating xterm's 'bellIsUrgent' resource and relevant CSI. When this resource is enabled (with 'CSI ? 1042 h'), a bell event causes the window to be marked as urgent. When the resource is disabled (with 'CSI ? 1042 l'), the window is not marked urgent in the event of a bell. There are two wrinkles worth noting here: - The 'TermMode::URGENCY_HINTS' does _not_ affect the terminal's configured bell command, since we only want to control whether or not the window is marked as urgent, not anything else. - In xterm, the 'bellIsUrgent' resource is _disabled_ by default. Since bouncing the dock icon has been the default in Alacritty on macOS thus far, do not make an effort to change that in this patch. This allows users to emit "\e[?1042l" and disable bouncing the dock icon. Fixes #2950.
2020-08-07Add support for colon separated SGR parametersChristian Duerr
This implements the colon separated form of SGR 38 and 48. Fixes #1485.
2020-07-26Document rejected window ops escapesChristian Duerr
Fixes #4035.
2020-07-23Document Alacritty's featuresChristian Duerr
2020-07-23Add secondary DA supportChristian Duerr
This adds support for the secondary DA escape sequence response. Alacritty's version is formatted allowing for up to 99 minor and patch versions, which should be sufficient. The tertiary DA is intentionally not implemented and marked as rejected in the documentation, since a lot of terminals do not support it, or report useless data (XTerm/URxvt/Kitty). Fixes #3100.
2020-07-03Document supported escape sequencesChristian Duerr
Fixes #3440.

2016-05-28Add Summary of ANSI standards for ASCII terminalsJoe Wilm
This doc was found in the tmux repository, and I'm adding it here so it doesn't get lost. Having it in-tree will also allow it to be referenced from the code.
