* Ignore touch gestures for enabling IMEChristian Duerr2025-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Fix hint binding IPC overridesChristian Duerr2025-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Fix disambiguation for Enter/Tab/BackspaceKirill Chibisov2025-05-03
| | | | The keys were not disambiguated, but they should be. Was just an oversight.
* Fix selection clearing in kitty keyboard modefrazou2025-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Fix report of Enter/Tab/Backspace in kitty keyboardKirill Chibisov2025-01-04
| | | | | The behavior changed and now it actually makes sense. Fix #8385.
* Always explicitly emit `1` without modifiers in kitty encodingKirill Chibisov2024-12-20
| | | | While this doesn't change much with how parsers are implemented, it improves consistency with how key release is handled.
* Add IME support to inline searchChristian Duerr2024-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | This changes the behavior of inline search from only accepting direct key inputs, to also accepting IME and paste. The additional characters are still being discarded, matching the existing behavior. This also fixes an issue where inline search wouldn't work for characters requiring modifiers, since the modifier press was interpreted as the search target instead. Closes #8208.

* Fix Kitty protocol reporting shifted keycodesjadedpasta2024-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The [kitty keyboard protocol][1] explicitly requires that the *un-shifted* version of the pressed key is used to report the primary code point in `CSI code-point;modifiers u` sequences. > Note that the codepoint used is always the lower-case (or more > technically, un-shifted) version of the key. If the user presses, for > example, ctrl+shift+a the escape code would be CSI 97;modifiers u. It > must not be CSI 65; modifiers u. Alacritty's current behavior is to report the shifted version when shift is pressed, and the un-shifted version otherwise: ```console # Note that you'll have to kill Alacritty after running this to get # control back! $ echo -ne '\x1b[>1u'; cat ^[[97;5u^[[65;6u ``` The above was generated by pressing `CTRL`+`a` followed by `CTRL`+`SHIFT`+`a` after running the command. Here `97` and `65` are the codepoints for `a` and `A` respectively. This change makes Alacritty match the protocol (and Kitty's) behavior. With this change applied, `97` is reported for both `CTRL`+`a` and `CTRL`+`SHIFT`+`a`. [1]: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#key-codes
* Send ESC with Alt for unicode inputKirill Chibisov2024-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | Make `Alt` send `ESC` for unicode input the way it's done for ASCII. Previously it was disabled because of macOS, however on macOS we're using the `option_as_alt` setting, which solves the original issue. The `Alt` prefixing is still disabled for the unicode strings, like when they come from the compose input. Fixes #7852.
* Fix kitty encoding used for char input without textKirill Chibisov2024-03-21
| | | | | On Windows some key combinations for regular text input, like Ctrl+1 don't have any text attached, so they were generating the kitty escape sequence even when they shouldn't.
* Don't use kitty sequences outside protocolKirill Chibisov2024-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally kitty defined that functional keys, which are not encoded by default, like `Pause` should be encoded with `CSI u`. However the specification was clarified and now it says that terminal may ignore that part. Given that Alacritty tries to follow xterm/urxvt when it comes to bindings, CSI u bindings are not send for consistency reasons. This also brings back F13-F20 bindings used by Alacritty in 0.12.3, as well as explicitly defines `NumpadEnter` like it was before. Closes #7623.
* Don't report associated text only for C0/C1Kirill Chibisov2024-01-27
| | | | | | | | This has a side effect that we'll have text reported for Alt+Shift+T and similar, but only C0/C1 should be excluded and Alt+Shift+T is emitting neither, thus regular `T` will be reported. Fixes #7657.

* Send associated text for shifted numbers with kittyKirill Chibisov2023-12-30
| | | | | Also fix the wrong ordering of base and shifted keys. Fixes #7492.
* Fix inability to bind `Alt+Control` on WindowsKirill Chibisov2023-12-30
| | | | Fixes #7506.
* Use pre-composed key for `Alt` bindings on macOSKirill Chibisov2023-12-30
| | | | Fixes #7475.
* Apply modifiers before presses in kitty protocolKirill Chibisov2023-12-25
| | | | | | | | | While this doesn't handle releases with multiple identical modifiers pressed, the release can't work reliable anyway, since one modifier could be pressed before focusing the window, thus tracking modifiers based on the keysym values won't work as it was suggested by kitty author.

* Account for option_as_alt when doing kitty protocolKirill Chibisov2023-12-20
| | | | | | By default `Alt` is not a real `Alt` on macOS, so we shouldn't treat it as a modifier. Fixes #7443.
* Don't emit text for NamedKey without text reprKirill Chibisov2023-12-08
| | | | | | | | | When the key doesn't have textual representation we shouldn't emit the text for them, since they are processed via bindings. Also, fix the logic to handle named keys with disambiguate without special modes/modifiers. Fixes #7423.
* Implement kitty's keyboard protocolKirill Chibisov2023-12-06
The protocol enables robust key reporting for the applications, so they could bind more keys and the user won't have collisions with the normal control keys. Links: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol Fixes #6378.
