* Replace serde's derive with custom proc macroChristian Duerr2020-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the existing `Deserialize` derive from serde with a `ConfigDeserialize` derive. The goal of this new proc macro is to allow a more error-friendly deserialization for the Alacritty configuration file without having to manage a lot of boilerplate code inside the configuration modules. The first part of the derive macro is for struct deserialization. This takes structs which have `Default` implemented and will only replace fields which can be successfully deserialized. Otherwise the `log` crate is used for printing errors. Since this deserialization takes the default value from the struct instead of the value, it removes the necessity for creating new types just to implement `Default` on them for deserialization. Additionally, the struct deserialization also checks for `Option` values and makes sure that explicitly specifying `none` as text literal is allowed for all options. The other part of the derive macro is responsible for deserializing enums. While only enums with Unit variants are supported, it will automatically implement a deserializer for these enums which accepts any form of capitalization. Since this custom derive prevents us from using serde's attributes on fields, some of the attributes have been reimplemented for `ConfigDeserialize`. These include `#[config(flatten)]`, `#[config(skip)]` and `#[config(alias = "alias)]`. The flatten attribute is currently limited to at most one per struct. Additionally the `#[config(deprecated = "optional message")]` attribute allows easily defining uniform deprecation messages for fields on structs.
* Remove redundant CLI flagsChristian Duerr2020-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes some of Alacritty's CLI flags since the same functionality is provided by the '--option' flag now. The removed flags are: * '--persistent-logging' * '--live-config-reload' * '--no-live-config-reload' * '--dimensions' * '--position' Fixes #4246.
* Add configuration file importsChristian Duerr2020-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the ability for users to have multiple configuration files which all inherit from each other. The order of imports is chronological, branching out to the deepest children first and overriding every field with that of the configuration files that are loaded at a later point in time. Live config reload watches the directories of all configuration files, allowing edits in any of them to update Alacritty immediately. While the imports are live reloaded, a new configuration file watcher will only be spawned once Alacritty is restarted. Since this might cause loops which would be very difficult to detect, a maximum depth is set to limit the recursion possible with nested configuration files. Fixes #779.
* Remove gui dependencies from alacritty_terminalKirill Chibisov2020-07-11
| | | | | | | | This commit removes font dependency from alacritty_terminal, so it'll simplify the usage of alacritty_terminal as a library, since you won't link to system's libraries anymore. It also moves many alacritty related config options from it. Fixes #3393.

* Add modal keyboard motion modeChristian Duerr2020-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a basic mode for navigating inside of Alacritty's history with keyboard bindings. They're bound by default to vi's motion shortcuts but are fully customizable. Since this relies on key bindings only single key bindings are currently supported (so no `ge`, or repetition). Other than navigating the history and moving the viewport, this mode should enable making use of all available selection modes to copy content to the clipboard and launch URLs below the cursor. This also changes the rendering of the block cursor at the side of selections, since previously it could be inverted to be completely invisible. Since that would have caused some troubles with this keyboard selection mode, the block cursor now is no longer inverted when it is at the edges of a selection. Fixes #262.

* Update to winit/glutin EventLoop 2.0Christian Duerr2019-10-05
This takes the latest glutin master to port Alacritty to the EventLoop 2.0 rework. This changes a big part of the event loop handling by pushing the event loop in a separate thread from the renderer and running both in parallel. Fixes #2796. Fixes #2694. Fixes #2643. Fixes #2625. Fixes #2618. Fixes #2601. Fixes #2564. Fixes #2456. Fixes #2438. Fixes #2334. Fixes #2254. Fixes #2217. Fixes #1789. Fixes #1750. Fixes #1125.
