* Fix CreateNewWindow CLI fallbackChristian Duerr2021-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing behavior for the new CreateNewWindow actions was to always pass in their own options, which would discard the existing options configured on the terminal's PTY config. To fix this the behavior for CreateNewWindow is now the same as for the initial window creation, the config values are overwritten conditionally based on their individual presence in the CLI options. However all temporary CLI options set on the "master" Alacritty instance are discarded by all future windows. Fixes #5659.
* Remove shared PID/FD variablesChristian Duerr2021-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing PID/FD atomics in alacritty_terminal/src/tty/unix.rs were shared across all Alacritty windows, causing problem with the new multiwindow feature. Instead of sharing these between the different windows, the master FD and shell PID are now stored on the `window_context`. Unfortunately this makes spawning new daemons a little more complicated, having to pass through additional parameters. To ease this a little bit the helper method `spawn_daemon` has been defined on the `ActionContext`, making it accessible from most parts of Alacritty's event loop. Fixes #5700.

* Add parameters to `msg create-window` subcommandKirill Chibisov2021-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alacritty's `msg create-window` subcommand would previously inherit all the CLI parameters from the original executable. However not only could this lead to unexpected behavior, it also prevents multi-window users from making use of parameters like `-e`, `--working-directory`, or `--hold`. This is solved by adding a JSON-based message format to the IPC socket messages which instructs the Alacritty server on which CLI parameters should be used to create the new window. Fixes #5562. Fixes #5561. Fixes #5560.
* Add multi-window supportChristian Duerr2021-10-23
Previously Alacritty would always initialize only a single terminal emulator window feeding into the winit event loop, however some platforms like macOS expect all windows to be spawned by the same process and this "daemon-mode" can also come with the advantage of increased memory efficiency. The event loop has been restructured to handle all window-specific events only by the event processing context with the associated window id. This makes it possible to add new terminal windows at any time using the WindowContext::new function call. Some preliminary tests have shown that for empty terminals, this reduces the cost of additional terminal emulators from ~100M to ~6M. However at this point the robustness of the daemon against issues with individual terminals has not been refined, making the reliability of this system questionable. New windows can be created either by using the new `CreateNewWindow` action, or with the `alacritty msg create-window` subcommand. The subcommand sends a message to an IPC socket which Alacritty listens on, its location can be found in the `ALACRITTY_SOCKET` environment variable. Fixes #607.
