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.
For *some* reason we have a binding for close_window but it merely closes
the surface and not the entire window. That is not only misleading but
also just wrong. Now we make a separate apprt action for close_window
that would make it show a close confirmation prompt identical to as if
the user had clicked the (X) button on the window titlebar.
Related to #6035
This implements the keybind/action portion of #5974 so that this can
have a binding and so that other apprts can respond to this and
implement it this way.
Finishes #378
Supercedes #4159
This adds a new enum value for `macos-non-native-fullscreen`:
`padded-notch`. This value will add padding to the top of the window to
account for the notch on applicable devices while still hiding the
menu.
This value is preferred over "visible-menu" by some people because for
screens without a notch, the window will take up the full height.
The plan in the future is that we may color the padded area when a notch
is present. In this commit it appears as transparent.
As recommended in
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/4927#issuecomment-2585003934,
adds a config option `maximize` for starting a window in a maximized
state in terms of window properties. Also adds a `toggle_maximize`
keybind to allow users to manually toggle this feature on and off.
It might make more sense to make this an optional config value so that
we don't toggle the state off if the WM already handles that for us, but
I'll let a reviewer decide.

This changes quit signaling from a boolean return from core app `tick()`
to an apprt action. This simplifies the API and conceptually makes more
sense to me now.
This wasn't done just for that; this change was also needed so that
macOS can quit cleanly while fixing #4540 since we may no longer trigger
menu items. I wanted to split this out into a separate commit/PR because
it adds complexity making the diff harder to read.
The prior light/dark mode awareness work works on surface-level APIs. As
a result, configurations used at the app-level (such as split divider
colors, inactive split opacity, etc.) are not aware of the current theme
configurations and default to the "light" theme.
This commit adds APIs to specify app-level color scheme changes. This
changes the configuration for the app and sets the default conditional
state to use that new theme. This latter point makes it so that future
surfaces use the correct theme on load rather than requiring some apprt
event loop ticks. Some users have already reported a short "flicker" to
load the correct theme, so this should help alleviate that.
Rather than storing a list of errors we now store a list of
"diagnostics." Each diagnostic has a richer set of structured
information, including a message, a key, the location where it occurred.
This lets us show more detailed messages, more human friendly messages, and
also let's us filter by key or location. We don't take advantage of
all of this capability in this initial commit, but we do use every field
for something.
This was recently introduced a few days ago. Unfortunately, this doesn't
work as expected. The "function" modifier is not actually the fn key
but used by macOS to represent a variety of "functional" key presses.
This breaks other bindings such as #2411.
I can't find a source on the internet that reliably tells me how we
can detect fn key presses, but I do find a number of sources that tell
us we can't.
First, this commit modifies libghostty to use a single unified action
dispatch system based on a tagged union versus the one-off callback
system that was previously in place. This change simplifies the code on
both the core and consumer sides of the library. Importantly, as we
introduce new actions, we can now maintain ABI compatibility so long as
our union size does not change (something I don't promise yet).
Second, this moves a lot more of the functions call on a surface into
the action system. This affects all apprts and continues the previous
work of introducing a more unified API for optional surface features.
