This removes `launched-from` entirely and moves our `gtk-single-instance`
detection logic to assume true unless we detect CLI instead of assume
false unless we detect desktop/dbus/systemd.
The "assume true" scenario for single instance is desirable because
detecting a CLI instance is much more reliable.
Removing `launched-from` fixes an issue where we had a
difficult-to-understand relationship between `launched-from`,
`gtk-single-instance`, and `initial-window`. Now, only
`gtk-single-instance` has some hueristic logic. And `initial-window`
ALWAYS sends a GTK activation signal regardless of single instance or
not.
As a result, we need to be explicit in our systemd, dbus, desktop files
about what we want Ghostty to do, but everything works as you'd mostly
expect.
Now, if you put plain old `ghostty` in your terminal, you get a new
Ghostty instance. If you put it anywhere else, you get a GTK single
instance activation call (either creates a first instance or opens a new
window in the existing instance). Works for launchers and so on.
|
|
Detecting the launch source frequently failed because various launchers
fail to sanitize the environment variables that Ghostty used to
detect the launch source. For example, if your desktop environment was
launched by `systemd`, but your desktop environment did not sanitize the
`INVOCATION_ID` or the `JOURNAL_STREAM` environment variables, Ghostty
would assume that it had been launched by `systemd` and behave as such.
This led to complaints about Ghostty not creating new windows when users
expected that it would.
To remedy this, Ghostty no longer does any detection of the launch
source. If your launch source is something other than the CLI, it must
be explicitly speciflied on the CLI. All of Ghostty's default desktop
and service files do this. Users or packagers that create custom desktop
or service files will need to take this into account.
On GTK, the `desktop` setting for `gtk-single-instance` is replaced with
`detect`. `detect` behaves as `gtk-single-instance=true` if one of the
following conditions is true:
1. If no CLI arguments have been set.
2. If `--launched-from` has been set to `desktop`, `dbus`, or `systemd`.
Otherwise `detect` behaves as `gtk-single-instance=false`.

Fixes #2473
This commit changes `ghostty_surface_ime_point` to return a full rect
with the width/height calculated for the preedit.
The `firstRect` function, which calls `ghostty_surface_ime_point` was
previously setting the width/height to zero. macOS didn't like this. We
then changed it to just hardcode it to width/height of one cell. This
worked but made it so the IME cursor didn't follow the preedit.

This was a noop in all of our apprts and I think is a holdover from the
glfw days.
|
|
This is a tiny addon from the recent gtk-ng work. We've moved redraw
requests into the apprt action system (the `render` action). I waited
until I had my macOS machine to verify that this fix could work. We can
now remove this completely.
We can probably remove the redraw inspector API too at some point but
I'm not there yet with the GTK backend so I'll just wait on it.

Instead of using @hasDecl, use a performAction-stype API. The C
interface for interfacing with macOS (or any other apprt where Ghostty
is embedded) is unfinished.

This makes it so `zig build run` can take arguments such as
`--config-default-files=false` or any other configuration. Previously,
it only accepted commands such as `+version`.
Incidentally, this also makes it so that the app in general can now take
configuration arguments via the CLI if it is launched as a new instance
via `open`. For example:
open -n Ghostty.app --args --config-default-files=false
This previously didn't work. This is kind of cool.
To make this work, the libghostty C API was modified so that
initialization requires the CLI args, and there is a new C API to try to
execute an action if it was set.

This deletes the GLFW apprt from the Ghostty codebase.
The GLFW apprt was the original apprt used by Ghostty (well, before
Ghostty even had the concept of an "apprt" -- it was all just a single
application then). It let me iterate on the core terminal features,
rendering, etc. without bothering about the UI. It was a good way to get
started. But it has long since outlived its usefulness.
We've had a stable GTK apprt for Linux (and Windows via WSL) and a
native macOS app via libghostty for awhile now. The GLFW apprt only
remained within the tree for a few reasons:
1. Primarily, it provided a faster feedback loop on macOS because
building the macOS app historically required us to hop out of the
zig build system and into Xcode, which is slow and cumbersome.
2. It was a convenient way to narrow whether a bug was in the
core Ghostty codebase or in the apprt itself. If a bug was in both
the glfw and macOS app then it was likely in the core.
3. It provided us a way on macOS to test OpenGL.
All of these reasons are no longer valid. Respectively:
1. Our Zig build scripts now execute the `xcodebuild` CLI directly and
can open the resulting app, stream logs, etc. This is the same
experience we have on Linux. (Xcode has always been a dependency of
building on macOS in general, so this is not cumbersome.)
2. We have a healthy group of maintainers, many of which have access
to both macOS and Linux, so we can quickly narrow down bugs
regardless of the apprt.
3. Our OpenGL renderer hasn't been compatible with macOS for some time
now, so this is no longer a useful feature.
At this point, the GLFW apprt is just a burden. It adds complexity
across the board, and some people try to run Ghostty with it in the real
world and get confused when it doesn't work (it's always been lacking in
features and buggy compared to the other apprts).
So, it's time to say goodbye. Its bittersweet because it is a big part
of Ghostty's history, but we've grown up now and it's time to move on.
Thank you, goodbye.
(NOTE: If you are a user of the GLFW apprt, then please fork the project
prior to this commit or start a new project based on it. We've warned
against using it for a very, very long time now.)

Besides avoiding copying, this allows consumers to choose to allocate
these structs on the stack or to allocate on the heap. It also gives the
apprt.App a stable pointer sooner in the process.

Fixes #7647
See #7647 for context. This commit works by extending the `input` work
introduced in #7652 to libghostty so that the macOS can take advantage
of it. At that point, its just the macOS utilizing `input` in order to
set the command and `exit` up similar to Terminal and iTerm2.

Related to #7433
This extracts our "launched from desktop" logic into a config option.
The default value is detection using the same logic as before, but now
this can be overridden by the user.
This also adds the systemd and dbus activation sources from #7433.
There are a number of reasons why we decided to do this:
1. It automatically gets us caching since the configuration is only
loaded once (per reload, a rare occurrence).
2. It allows us to override the logic when testing. Previously, we
had to do more complex environment faking to get the same
behavior.
3. It forces exhaustive switches in any desktop handling code, which
will make it easier to ensure valid behaviors if we introduce new
launch sources (as we are in #7433).
4. It lowers code complexity since callsites don't need to have N
`launchedFromX()` checks and can use a single value.

This commit changes a LOT of areas of the code to use decl literals
instead of redundantly referring to the type.
These changes were mostly driven by some regex searches and then manual
adjustment on a case-by-case basis.
I almost certainly missed quite a few places where decl literals could
be used, but this is a good first step in converting things, and other
instances can be addressed when they're discovered.
I tested GLFW+Metal and building the framework on macOS and tested a GTK
build on Linux, so I'm 99% sure I didn't introduce any syntax errors or
other problems with this. (fingers crossed)

This is a large refactor of the keyboard input handling code in
libghostty and macOS. Previously, libghostty did a lot of things that
felt out of scope or was repeated work due to lacking context. For
example, libghostty would do full key translation from key event to
character (including unshifted translation) as well as managing dead key
states and setting the proper preedit text.
This is all information the apprt can and should have on its own.
NSEvent on macOS already provides us with all of this information,
there's no need to redo the work. The reason we did in the first place
is mostly historical: libghostty powered our initial macOS port years
ago when we didn't have an AppKit runtime yet.
This cruft has already practically been the source of numerous issues, e.g.
#5558, but many other hacks along the way, too.
This commit pushes all preedit (e.g. dead key) handling and key translation
including unshifted keys up into the caller of libghostty.
Besides code cleanup, a practical benefit of this is that key event
handling on macOS is now about 10x faster on average. That's because
we're avoiding repeated key translations as well as other unnecessary
work. This should have a meaningful impact on input latency but I didn't
measure the full end-to-end latency.
A scarier part of this commit is that key handling is not well tested
since its a GUI component. I suspect we'll have some fallout for certain
keyboard layouts or input methods, but I did my best to run through
everything I could think of.

This introduces a syntax for `command` and `initial-command` that allows
the user to specify whether it should be run via `/bin/sh -c` or not.
The syntax is a prefix `direct:` or `shell:` prior to the command,
with no prefix implying a default behavior as documented.
Previously, we unconditionally ran commands via `/bin/sh -c`, primarily
to avoid having to do any shell expansion ourselves. We also leaned on
it as a crutch for PATH-expansion but this is an easy problem compared
to shell expansion.
For the principle of least surprise, this worked well for configurations
specified via the config file, and is still the default. However, these
configurations are also set via the `-e` special flag to the CLI, and it
is very much not the principle of least surprise to have the command run via
`/bin/sh -c` in that scenario since a shell has already expanded all the
arguments and given them to us in a nice separated format. But we had no
way to toggle this behavior.
This commit introduces the ability to do this, and changes the defaults
so that `-e` doesn't shell expand. Further, we also do PATH lookups
ourselves for the non-shell expanded case because thats easy (using
execvpe style extensions but implemented as part of the Zig stdlib). We don't
do path expansion (e.g. `~/`) because thats a shell expansion.
So to be clear, there are no two polar opposite behavioes here with
clear semantics:
1. Direct commands are passed to `execvpe` directly, space separated.
This will not handle quoted strings, environment variables, path
expansion (e.g. `~/`), command expansion (e.g. `$()`), etc.
2. Shell commands are passed to `/bin/sh -c` and will be shell expanded
as per the shell's rules. This will handle everything that `sh`
supports.
In doing this work, I also stumbled upon a variety of smaller
improvements that could be made:
- A number of allocations have been removed from the startup path that
only existed to add a null terminator to various strings. We now
have null terminators from the beginning since we are almost always
on a system that's going to need it anyways.
- For bash shell integration, we no longer wrap the new bash command
in a shell since we've formed a full parsed command line.
- The process of creating the command to execute by termio is now unit
tested, so we can test the various complex cases particularly on
macOS of wrapping commands in the login command.
- `xdg-terminal-exec` on Linux uses the `direct:` method by default
since it is also assumed to be executed via a shell environment.

Fixes #6821
UTF8 translation using KeymapDarwin requires a buffer and the buffer was
stack allocated in the coreKeyEvent call and returned from the function.
We need the buffer to live longer than this.
Long term, we're removing KeymapDarwin (there is a whole TODO comment in
there about how to do it), but this fixes a real problem today.

Fixes #6633
For macOS, we set LANGUAGE to the priority list of preferred languages
for the app bundle, using the GNU gettext priority list format (colon
separated list of language codes).
This previously was inherited by the termio env. At first, this was by
design, but this has inherent flaws. Namely, the priority list format is
a GNU gettext specific format, and programs that use alternate gettext
implementations (like musl or Python) do not understand it and actually
do the wrong thing (not their fault!).
This change removes the inheritance of LANGUAGE in the termio env. To
make it extra safe, we only do set and unset LANGUAGE when we know we
launch from an app bundle. That was always the desired behavior but this
makes it more explicit.

Fixes #5448
We previously removed the ctrl modifier for text commit (IME-style)
to workaround a libghostty quirk (as noted in the comment in the diff).
But this broke other keyboard layouts.
This commit attempts to clean this up slightly -- but not completely --
by removing that hack, and only modifying the ctrl behavior for the
UCKeyTranslate call.
Long term, I plan to remove UCKeyTranslate completely, as noted in the
todo comment already written just below this diff.
This fixes the aforementioned issue and hopefully doesn't regress any
other behavior. I tested the following:
1. Dvorak Ctrl characters
2. Ergo-L Ctrl characters
3. US standard Ctrl characters
4. Japanese IME input Ctrl input to modify IME state

This is to facilitate the `performable:` prefix on keybinds that are
implemented using app runtime actions.

`WINDOWID` is the conventional environment variable for scripts that
want to know the X11 window ID of the terminal, so that it may call
tools like `xprop` or `xdotool`. We already know the window ID for
window protocol handling, so we might as well throw this in for
convenience.

|
Fixes #5558
Binding checks would sometimes trigger preedit which would cause some
characters to leak through.
This is a bit of a band-aid. The real long term solution is noted in the
TODO comment in this commit, but I wanted to avoid regressions in a
patch release so I'm going to defer that to 1.2. This commit fixes the
main issue for 1.1.1.

## Description
Fixed an issue where hyperlinks would maintain their hover state when
the mouse is outside the viewport while holding the Cmd key. This
created inconsistent behavior with the window's standard hover state
clearing logic.
## Changes
- Added viewport boundary check in `mouseRefreshLinks` function to
prevent link processing when cursor is outside the window
## Testing
To reproduce and verify the fix:
1. Run `fd --hyperlink "\.zig$" src/apprt` to create hyperlinks
2. Move mouse over a hyperlink (it should highlight)
3. Move mouse outside window
4. Hold Cmd key
- Before: Link would show hover state
- After: Link remains in non-hover state
Fixes #5252
@rrotter Could you please try this to see if it solves your issue?

Fixes #4631
This introduces a mechanism by which parsed config fields can be renamed
to maintain backwards compatibility. This already has a use case --
implemented in this commit -- for `background-blur-radius` to be renamed
to `background-blur`.
The remapping is comptime-known which lets us do some comptime
validation. The remap check isn't done unless no fields match which
means for well-formed config files, there's no overhead.
For future improvements:
- We should update our config help generator to note renamed fields.
- We could offer automatic migration of config files be rewriting them.
- We can enrich the value type with more metadata to help with
config gen or other tooling.

Fixes: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/4634#issuecomment-2573469532
This commit fixes two issues:
1. `libghostty` must not override ctrl+key inputs if we are in a preedit
state. This allows thigs like `ctrl+h` to work properly in an IME.
2. On macOS, when an IME commits text, we strip the control modifier
from the key event we send to libghostty. This is a bit of a hack but
this avoids triggering special ctrl+key handling.
