Previously whenever the user would use touch gestures to make selections or scroll the terminal, IME would automatically be enabled due to the focus change and reduce the terminal height. This isn't ideal when the goal is just scanning through the terminal history without making any input. This patch keeps track of pointer and touch focus and only enables IME when either the pointer is within the window or a tap touch sequence was performed to give the window 'touch focus'. The initial touch tap sequence used to enable IME is still forwarded to the terminal as a simulated click event, since otherwise touch devices without virtual keyboard would be forced into a confusing additional tap to make it work. This means that virtual keyboard users will not be able to open the virtual keyboard without creating a click event, which should still be preferable to the status quo.
This changes the way the touch zoom works by switching into a separate mode when one of the touch slots is removed, allowing continuous zoom as long as at least one slot is active.
This fixes an issue where changes made to the bindings of a hint through IPC were completely ignored, since the hint key bindings were only generated on config load without regeneration on IPC config override. While it would be possible to just filter out remove hint key bindings based on their action and then repopulate them on IPC config reload, this solution would be quite hacky. To have a better distinction between traditional and hint key bindings, the two have been entirely separated and hint bindings are just converted to key bindings on demand. This allows easily replacing the entire hint array without any post-processing, making it simpler to maintain for future changes. Closes #8568.
This patch adds Vi's semantic search and paragraph motion. The semantic search uses either the selection or the semantic word under the cursor and jumps to the next match in the desired direction. Paragraph motion jumps to just above or below the current paragraph. Closes #7961. Co-authored-by: Fletcher Gornick <fletcher@gornick.dev>
The keys were not disambiguated, but they should be. Was just an oversight.
When Kitty's keyboard protocol is used and Report all keys as escape codes flag (8) is enabled, modifier key escape codes trigger the usual "write something to the terminal" code path, which clears the selection / scrolls down etc. This behavior is mostly unexpected, and makes some actions more painful to perform (for instance copying text becomes harder: hitting CTRL to begin the CTRL+SHIFT+C sequence clears the selection). This patch clears the selection only if the key event is not a modifier key, which aligns with Alacritty's usual behavior. Fixes #8509.
