dnkl/foot 1.17.0

on Codeberg

Added

• Support for opening an existing PTY, e.g. a VM console. (#1564)
• Unicode input mode now accepts input from the numpad as well, numlock is ignored.
• A new resize-by-cells option, enabled by default, allows the size of floating windows to be constrained to multiples of the cell size.
• Support for custom (i.e. other than ctrl/shift/alt/super) modifiers in key bindings (#1348).
• pipe-command-output key binding.
• Support for OSC-176, "Set App-ID" (https://gist.github.com/delthas/d451e2cc1573bb2364839849c7117239).
• Support for DECRQM queries with ANSI/ECMA-48 modes (CSI Ps $ p).
• Rectangular edit functions: DECCARA, DECRARA, DECCRA, DECFRA and DECERA (#1633).
• Rect capability to terminfo.
• fe and fd (focus in/out enable/disable) capabilities to terminfo.
• nel capability to terminfo.

Changed

• config: ARGB color values now default to opaque, rather than transparent, when the alpha component has been left out (#1526).
• The foot process now changes CWD to / after spawning the shell process. This ensures the terminal itself does not "lock" a directory; for example, preventing a mount point from being unmounted (#1528).
• Kitty keyboard protocol: updated behavior of modifiers bits during modifier key events, to match the (new #6913) behavior in kitty >= 0.32.0 (#1561).
• When changing font sizes or display scales in floating windows, the window will be resized as needed to preserve the same grid size.
• smm now disables private mode 1036 ("send ESC when Meta modifies a key"), and enables private mode 1034 ("8-bit Meta mode"). rmm does the opposite (#1584).
• Grid is now always centered in the window, when either fullscreened or maximized.
• Ctrl+wheel up/down bound to font-increase and font-decrease respectively (in addition to the already existing default key bindings ctrl-+ and ctrl+-).
• Use XRGB pixel format (instead of ARGB) when there is no transparency.
• Prefer CSS xcursor names, and fallback to legacy X11 names.
• Kitty keyboard protocol: use the XKB mode when retrieving locked modifiers, instead of the GTK mode. This fixes an issue where some key combinations (e.g. Shift+space) produces different results depending on the state of e.g. the NumLock key.
• Kitty keyboard protocol: filter out all locked modifiers (as reported by XKB), rather than hardcoding it to CapsLock only, when determining whether a key combination produces text or not.
• CSI-t queries now report pixel values unscaled, instead of scaled (#1643).
• Sixel: text cursor is now placed on the last text row touched by the sixel, instead of the text row touched by the upper pixel of the last sixel (#chafa-192).
• Sixel: trailing, fully transparent rows are now trimmed (#chafa-192).
• 1004 (enable focus in/out events) removed from the XM terminfo capability. To enable focus in/out, use the fe and fd capabilities instead.
• Tightened the regular expression in the rv terminfo capability.
• Tightened the regular expression in the xr terminfo capability.
• DECRQM queries for private mode 67 (DECBKM) now reply with mode value 4 ("permanently reset") instead of 0 ("not recognized").

Fixed

• config: improved validation of color values.
• config: double close of file descriptor, resulting in a chain of errors ultimately leading to a startup failure (#1531).
• Crash when using a desktop scaling factor > 1, on compositors that implements neither the fractional-scale-v1, nor the cursor-shape-v1 Wayland protocols (#1573).
• Crash in --server mode when one or more environment variables are set in [environment].
• Environment variables normally set by foot lost with footclient -E,--client-environment (#1568).
• XDG toplevel protocol violation, by trying to set a title that contains an invalid UTF-8 sequence (#1552).
• Crash when erasing the scrollback, when scrollback history is exactly 0 rows. This happens when [scrollback].line = 0, and the window size (number of rows) is a power of two (i.e. 2, 4, 8, 16 etc) (#1610).
• VS16 (variation selector 16 - emoji representation) should only affect emojis.
• Pressing a modifier key while the kitty keyboard protocol is enabled no longer resets the viewport, or clears the selection.
• Crash when failing to load an xcursor image (#1624).
• Crash when resizing a dynamically sized sixel (no raster attributes), with a non-1:1 aspect ratio.
• The default sixel color table is now initialized to the colors used by the VT340, instead of not being initialized at all (thus requiring the sixel escape sequence to explicitly set all colors it used).
