* 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.

* Update the escape_support.md for sync updatesKirill Chibisov2023-09-29
| | | | | | Remove the DCS sync updates escape sequence since it's no longer supported. Fixes: 47d500770a (Bump VTE to 0.12.0)

* Switch to TOML configuration formatChristian Duerr2023-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This switches Alacritty's default configuration format from yaml to toml. While yaml is still supported, it is done by converting it to toml and should be removed entirely in the future. All existing features were persisted based on my testing. Behavior should not change much, though `--option` might have slightly different behavior since the entire line is not interpreted as one line of toml. A new `alacritty migrate` subcommand has been added which allows automatic migration from yaml to toml. This also could be used as a facility to automatically fix configuration file changes in the future. Closes #6592.
* Add support for hyperlink escape sequenceKirill Chibisov2022-07-10
| | | | | | | This commit adds support for hyperlink escape sequence `OSC 8 ; params ; URI ST`. The configuration option responsible for those is `hints.enabled.hyperlinks`. Fixes #922.

* Add colored underline supportKirill Chibisov2022-03-16
| | | | | | | | | This commit adds support for colored underline and refines the dynamic extra storage. The extra storage now is using `Arc` making cloning it way faster compared to `Box` approach which scales really well when it comes to cloning in `Term::write_at_cursor`, since cloning `Arc` is constant time. Fixes #4142.
* 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.
* Add vi/mouse hint highlighting supportChristian Duerr2021-04-13
| | | | | 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.
* Add copy/paste/select hint actionsChristian Duerr2021-04-03
| | | | | | This adds some built-in actions for handling hint selections without having to spawn external applications. The new actions are `Copy`, `Select` and `Paste`.
* Add regex terminal hintsChristian Duerr2021-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Add sync update terminfo and docsChristian Duerr2021-02-24
| | | | | | | | | 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
* Add blinking cursor supportDettorer2020-11-23
| | | | | | | | 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.
* Add support for urgency hints CSITaylor Blau2020-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Add support for colon separated SGR parametersChristian Duerr2020-08-07
| | | | | This implements the colon separated form of SGR 38 and 48. Fixes #1485.

* Add secondary DA supportChristian Duerr2020-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.
