Changes

  • Remove dependency on libinput (the library is not available in static form in most distributions).
    • In addition to getting rid of the library dependency, we now have the ability to hot-plug pointing devices (Linux in-kernel console).
  • Rename the --SetMouseAccess command-line option to --mouse/-a,
    • it makes mouse access persistent by adding a udev rule to set device access bits to 0666 for all pointer devices.
    • Run sudo vtm --mouse 0 to reset access (to remove the udev rule).
    • In general, the syntax is: sudo ./vtm --mouse [ 1 | 0 ].
  • Fix terminal redrawing on focus events.
  • Opt out of providing dynamically linked pre-built binaries (static only).
