Switch to TOML for configuration file #6592
Comments
I do like toml more. In general what we can do is to have support for both at the same time with a warning to do a conversion with some alacritty flag. But having both at the same time doesn't sound like fun to maintain. I do wonder how stuff like multiple bindings will end up working.
Is that supported by serde at least? Though, patching shouldn't be a problem. |
This switches Alacritty's default configuration format from toml to yaml. 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. TODO: - Migrate alacritty.yml => Might want to reconsider defaults being commented out? - Write/Test an `alacritty migrate` tool which converts the configuration file for the user Closes alacritty#6592.

HCL is also a good if not better choice. |

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.
Aw man, I use anchors heavily in my Alacritty yaml config, for changing themes with scripting. I'm not quite sure what the best way to do this with TOML is. Do you have any suggestions for rewriting something like this in TOML? schemes:

@skyfaller use imports. |
Thank you for the tip. For anyone who needs more detail on imports, some documentation: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/extra/man/alacritty.5.scd#general Any chance you could show some examples of how imports are used? Is there a sample config file somewhere? |
If you're looking for toml syntax docs, you can find array docs here: https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0#array Other than that it's just exactly as documented in the manpage. I strongly recommend looking at the raw text of the manpage, the markdown rendering is pretty screwed up (it strips the type from the array for example). |
Is it hard to support both? TOML pokes me in the eye while YAML is super comfy. Everyone has their preferences. Can't serde shield Alacritty and allow users to pick their favorite? |

Sooner or later support for YAML will be dropped. There is no reason why we'd maintain both and even the current YAML implementation is just a subpar fill-in for the transition period. |
Do I need to do something specific to enable the TOML escape sequences mentioned above? I'm getting an error when I try to use them:

Can an I can't tell how many times I referred to that file to tweak a setting here and there. That document was the document I referred to as the configuration source of truth. Now I feel lost. |
But you have man page now with all the options? And a separate for all default bindings. |
Ok, I had a look now. The I don't think it is quite is quick and easy as the previous Thanks for the knowledge. |

if you've built from source build man pages as well, no stable release was made with toml yet. |

you're free to format the config however you want, you can use something like that [keyboard]
bindings = [
{ key = "C", mods = "Control|Shift", mode = "Vi|Search", action = "ClearSelection" },
{ key = "Insert", mods = "Shift", action = "Paste" }
] |
It would be nice to have an example toml now because you are not able to prepare a color scheme based theming without the knowledge how to transform it from yaml. Migration makes the new toml unfunctional for example. |
Alacritty has switched to TOML. See: alacritty/alacritty#6592
Alacritty has switched to TOML. See: alacritty/alacritty#6592
Alacritty now uses a TOML configuration file rather than YAML (alacritty/alacritty#6592). Also, move to a directory-based approach that uses XDG_CONFIG_HOME (which alacritty supports) rather than symlinking directly into the home directory. After merging in this change, run `rm ~/.alacritty.yml` to clean up the now-unused config file.

The readme says
not
To be clear, I don't even question the migration itself, breaking changes are sometimes beneficial or even required; personally, I also don't mind migrating some alacritty config files once per year, but this comment really threw me off. TL;DR: I don't like using software that wants to annoy me. |
I found the migration simple and effective, a small amount of customization later, 10 mins all in all. Easy-peasy. I suspect there is a silent majority where that is the case. I am pleased with the change, TOML is a far better config format in comparison to YAML. |
As I said, I don't question this migration itself. I question the attitude of liking to annoy people. Side note, I'm sure you could read the comment about annoying people as a joke, but even if it was, that sort of joke only works, if there is a kernel of truth to it. |
Unfortunately your opinion is flat out wrong |
Thank you! I despise the TOML format. It is pain to read and edit the text. No other option than to disable the annoying warning in source. Are there really people who think TOML is better than YAML? Why do you believe so? In any case, I would be happy if you don't stop supporting YAML format |
Which is fine. migrating to toml. But I hope I find a migration tool from yaml to toml. I mean I have had my dotfiles there for nearly half a decade now. Only change was for neovim. But then it was an eniterly different thing. Who is going to change the config manually now. Its easier to just find another terminal. 😆 |
If only Alacritty devs had integrated an automatic migration tool specifically built to ease this transition for existing users. |
I don't understand the practice of not supporting both config formats. Even moreso, deprecating a defacto standard. Even if you are running into the problem of "too many indentation issues," then write a better SEO-optimized wiki, or add the problem to the issue template. It shouldn't take a lot of effort to educate end users on the defacto standard for configuration files. Hell, you probably don't need to do more than update the issue template, because there are plenty of free education tools for YAML. Even linking a simple YAML validator in the issue template (and the installation docs) like https://www.yamllint.com/ should fix the original problem statement. I will say that adding and switching the default configuration language to toml does make sense, because of the aforementioned better support for character escaping, but fully deprecating yaml does not. You can't really justify deprecation with "can't support" either, because yaml and toml are just wrappers for json. If you can support one of the 3 (yaml, toml, or json), your app can support the other 2. You might justify it with "don't want to support," but even then that is resolved with the above statement "write a better SEO-optimized wiki, or add the problem to the issue template" |
No one ever reads, remember that, people who read don't have issues with any of that. Alacritty is also not a stable software, as in pre 1.0, so we don't have to bother with legacy, this is stated in README and it was like that for a long time. After 1.0 no one will ever change the config format.
toml is much simpler to work with, where with yaml you have e.g. yaml hooks.
again, no one ever reads any of that, even with TOML all the docs are right there with examples and such, yet no one ever reads and asks ChatGPT or says on issues tracker how bad we are. Also, keep in mind that unless someone rewrites serde(rust library for serialization) none of that is an easy task, because you have to convert between formats, and you can't convert yaml hooks at all, so you have to develop 2 internal reprs for all of that, which is just a madness and no-one has time for that thing (if you have go ahead and write serde alternative in rust for us, though by this point we'll sunset yaml config all together). |
The problem is that eventually, once Alacritty matures, this deprecated feature will turn right back into a feature request, since YAML is more widely adopted. Also, "simple" is subjective. As you can see from the above, people will have complaints about TOML as well as YAML. People who are comfortable programming in Python and writing microservices (e.g. docker, gh-actions, etc) are going to find YAML simpler than TOML. People who deal with OS configuration files regularly are going to find TOML simpler than YAML. Using "simpler" or "better" when it comes to describing 2 languages that do the same things nearly identically is futile. What you said about Rust's support for serialization languages does make sense, but then you end up with the problem in my first sentence. By the time that Alacritty matures, it is likely that Rust will have more reliable support for serialization languages. But that's not even the main problem. It is very likely that people are going to request adding it back before Rust fixes serde, just simply because of it's wider adoption, end-user preference, and established precedence. As you said, people are going to continue to ignore the docs, and just use copilot/gpt-generated files to install your software, which are all going to tell them to use YAML. So, instead of getting "YAML indentation" issue-spam, you're going to get "why is yaml deprecated?"/"FR: add YAML" issue-spam. |
How is this a problem? There will always be a bunch of garbage feature requests, rejecting them is not an issue.
This just demonstrates lack of knowledge of the Rust ecosystem.
So instead of hunting bugs in user configs we can just close issues immediately. I don't see how this isn't an easy win. |
So is rejecting "indentation issues"
I have doubts that it is an inaccurate statement based off the lifetimes of several other languages. Serialization is a basic language feature. I doubt that any language community isn't going to work towards adopting de facto serialization standards. From what I understand from the Rust ecosystem is that they do intend to offer competent YAML support: https://docs.rs/serde_yaml/latest/serde_yaml/
You won't have to bug hunt yaml indentation problems, if you add yaml and toml linters to the issue template. If an end user doesn't lint their own files, then don't troubleshoot. It doesn't matter if its YAML or TOML. |
Version 0.8 of this library was using yaml-rs, which was abandoned because yaml is an awful file format that you cannot write parsers for. Version 0.9 switched to a Rust translation of libyaml, a C Library that was abandoned 3 years ago and has numerous known security issues. So since you're clearly an expert in this field, please tell me more about the plethora of amazing deserialization options for yaml. It's such a cool format, I'd love to learn about more popular Rust libraries supporting it. |

Hello all, at first I liked my yaml config and I found that the generated toml version looked a bit clunky (not trying to dunk on tools which convert my config file for essentially free, thank you for saving me time! <3). So I went and found this issue because I was wondering about whether yaml support was actually being completely phased out (which seems to be desired by the OP). I figured the next best thing was to try and improve the readability of the toml file since that seems to be the way forward. I took a quick stroll through the specs which are actually remarkably easy to understand and came up with this version: Honestly it's quite good, I think I'm liking this more than my yaml config actually :) All this is just to say please try to understand the OP's reasoning, take 5 minutes to improve the generated toml file using info from the specs and enjoy the result knowing it's very likely here to stay. Finally, my apologies if this adds just more noise to the conversation. Just wanted to share some thoughts since there were some small arguments going on in the conversation. |
There's no point in manually writing toml formatters to try and get it into a subjectively better format when there's no way we'll ever match exactly the way it should be either. I used the automated tool to get started, then cleaned it up by hand, if people have an issue with that they can write their own migration tool. |
That makes complete sense to me, I'm already happy about the fact that some simple conversion is included and just works. Taking a little bit of time to further refine automatically converted configuration is a small price to pay for what is in my opinion the best terminal out there. Thanks for all your work! |
of course. but how do you get out of section and back to root level? is toml limited here? |
Yeah this can be a bit confusing for people new to toml. Hopefully #7908 will resolve this but unfortunately it has stalled (for now). I'd like to see that land in Alacritty's next stable release. |
* Bump development version to 0.13.0-dev This is only an update to the development version and does not represent a stable release. * Update INSTALL.md Ubuntu instructions * Add missing `ToggleMaximized` docs in the config * Add `window.resize_increments` config option Given how bugged the resize increments are on X11, it's better to disable it by default. * Relax horizontal scrolling Apply horizontal scrolling when the angle between the axis X and (x, y) vector is lower than 25 degrees. Fixes alacritty#6711. * Fix bracketed paste with EOT payload This works around an issue in many (all?) shells where the bracketed paste logic would only strip out `\r` but interpret EOT (`\x03`) as a termination of the bracketed paste. * Send D&D input through paste action Treating D&D like paste allows using D&D to input text into areas other than the PTY, like the search bar. * Fix busy rendering when the same warning persists When the same warning is thrown on the each rendering iteration, it'll force alacritty to always render. Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Bump winit to 0.28.2 This also bumps copypasta and sctk-adwaita. Fixes alacritty#6744. Fixes alacritty#6702. Fixes alacritty#6696. Fixes alacritty#2741. * Bump x11-clipboard to v0.7.1 Fixes alacritty#6760. * Use `thin` instead of `fat` LTO The performance between `thin` and `fat` is in the margin of error, however `thin` LTO is way faster to build. * Improve fish completions installation instructions Co-authored-by: Kirill Chibisov <[email protected]> * Bump winit to 0.28.3 Fix macOS leak when closing the window. * Fix `;` character in URI OSC 8 payload The special character `;` can be not URL-encoded, thus it'll add extra parameter in the payload. Handle it joining extra parameters with the `;` as a separator. * Bump CHANGELOG development version to 0.13.0-dev This is only an update to the development version and does not represent a stable release. The original bump to 0.13.0-dev was made in 9cf2c89, but did not make any changes to the changelog. This adds a 0.13.0-dev changelog entry to master so new changes are properly added to the correct place. * Fix selection rotation on the last line This fixes an issue with terminal resizes when the selection is on the last line. Alacritty would fail to rotate lines and keep the selection in the same line index whenever the terminal line count was grown or shrunk. This issue occurred due to the range passed to the selection's rotate function still being based on the old terminal size, which caused the initial or target state of the rotation to be outside of the terminal bounds. Closes alacritty#6698. * Add missing terminfo capabilities This adds capabilities for focus in/out (XF, kxIN, kxOUT) and bracketed paste (BD, BE, PE, PS). * Reset char suppression for every key binding Previously the character suppression was only reset whenever a key was released. However this did not take key repetition into account. Now every key down also resets the character suppression. This should work since the `ReceivedCharacter` is always received immediately after the `KeyboardInput` without the chance of a racing condition where another keyboard event interrupts the two. * Use paste for ESC action and IME commit Route string terminal input through 'ActionContext::paste' instead of char by char write improving performance by utilizing bracketed paste mode when it's reasonable. * Allow mode-exclusive bindings in any mode This patch enables binding chains that go beyond mode changes by allowing bindings to be defined for modes they do not usually have an effect in. * Omit urgency hint focused window * Bump winit to 0.28.4 Fixes alacritty#6817. * Add `ALACRITTY_EXTRA_LOG_TARGETS` env variable This should help with troubleshooting the dependency crates like winit. * Bump winit to 0.28.5 The 0.28.4 was yanked. * Fix very long startup time on some Wayland systems This is not a real fix for the issue given that dbus method sctk-adwaita is using will being called anyway. The proper fix will be available with the winit's 0.29.0 release. Right now the delay reduced from around 20 seconds to 100ms on a systems with broken xdg-desktop-portal setup. * Bump `actions/checkout` to v3 Fix Node 12 deprecation warnings in action runs. * Update glutin to 0.30.8 and winit to 0.28.6 Fixes alacritty#6920. Fixes alacritty#6824. * Fix upload from CI on windows * Update bitflags to 2.2.1 * Update xdg and dirs crate The recent version on xdg crate moved to home crate which is used by cargo. Thus to query for home directory we can use the home dependency instead which is smaller. * Update clap to v4.2.7 Fixes alacritty#6879. Fixes alacritty#6874. * Update patch dependencies * Improve renderer debuggability Make the renderer more debuggable by adding extra logging and using `GL_KHR_debug` when running with the debug log level. * Add version 0.12.1 to CHANGELOG * Switch to VTE's built-in ansi feature Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Fix 216-color cube generation This fixes a regression introduced in cb7ad5b which swapped the green and blue values when constructing the 216-color RGB cube. Fixes alacritty#6951. * Fix hyperlink preview for 2 lines terminal (alacritty#6953) The intention was to show it, however it was hidden due to wrong comparisson check. * Move manpages to scdoc This rewrites the existing manpages to use the `scdoc` format, making it simpler to read and edit the manpages without intricate roff knowledge. Some minor changes to the manpages were made in the process, mostly focusing on correcting some of the wording. The list of maintainers has also changed to ensure people not involved in the project anymore aren't unnecessarily contacted for support. * Fix Makefile manpage generation Signed-off-by: Dennis Maier <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Fix crash on ScaleFactorChange on Windows Windows is known to send zero sizes from winit in Risezed and now in ScaleFactorChanged events. They were handled in Resized, but not in ScaleFactorChanged. Fixes alacritty#6949. * Bump dependencies Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Add resolver to workspace manifest This explicitly specifies resolver "2" in the root manifest, to fix a warning introduced in a recent nightly release. * Switch to TOML configuration format 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 alacritty#6592. * Change the way we refer to IRC chat * Fix warnings for config imports Closes alacritty#6996. * Add option to persist hints after selection Closes alacritty#6976. * Fix `alacritty msg config` toml replacement This fixes a regression introduced in bd49067 which broke the override of configuration file variables using `alacritty msg config`. To fix this the `replace` functionality was rewritten to behave more like the `serde_utils::merge` where entire values are inserted into the existing structure rather than separating the keys from the values. Fixes: bd49067 (Switch to TOML configuration format) * Fix freeze with some drivers when using GLX Fixes alacritty#6972. * Fix parsing of integer font sizes Config file conversion broke parsing of the font size value if it's written as an integer, since TOML integers are always signed. * Add errors for deserializing with unknown fields Currently there are still some places where `Deserialize` is used rather than `ConfigDeserialize`, which means that the built-in warning for unused fields is not emitted automatically. To ensure users don't have invalid configurations, the `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]` annotation has been added to these structs, making it a hard error when an unknown field is present. * Fix the crash when shrinking scrolled terminal display_offset was adjusted unconditionally, thus it could go beyound the history limits, so clamp it to history like we do in grow_colums. Fixes alacritty#6862. * Add support for loading conpty.dll Co-Authored-By: @fredizzimo Co-Authored-By: @Grueslayer * Update wix on the release CI Fixes alacritty#6939. * Add TOML migration recommendation to warning This adds a little recommendation to use `alacritty migrate` to automatically transition configuration files from YAML to TOML. * Remove mouse double_click/triple_click options Fixes alacritty#6962. * Change the default colorscheme The new colorscheme is base16 classic dark with the bright colors generated with oklab toolkits. The base16 classic dark is less washed out and represents the current maintainers preference. The motivation to change it was subjective, though it does look like generic dark theme. On a side note, this colorscheme was used for alacritty.org web page for a long time, however it used different foreground color. * Add manpage links to "see also" section * Add version 0.12.2 to CHANGELOG This is only an update to the development version and does not represent a stable release. * Add a note in README about older versions Unfortunately it's not clear to everyone that they are looking at the development documentation. * Fix legacy bindings taking precedence over new ones They were compared by len, but it's was wrong from the start, since a user provided binding could remove more than one builtin binding, so it was impossible for users to use their own bindings. The most reliable way to do so is to use `Option`, given that we fill default during deserialization. Fixes alacritty#7050. * Update binding sections in config manpage * Create man5 directory along with man1 * Update to the new winit keyboard API The main highlight of this update is that alacritty will now use new keyboard API from the winit, which resolves a lot of issues around key bindings, such as ability to bind dead keys. It also fixes long standing issues with the virtual key code bindings and make bindings in general more predictable. It also makes our default Vi key bindings fully working. Given that alacritty was using `VirtualKey` directly in the bindings from the winit, and winit simply removed the enum, we've added internal conversions to minimize the fallout, but new way to specify the bindings should be more intuitive. Other part of this update fixes some forward compatibility bugs with the Wayland backend, given that wayland-rs 0.30 is fully forward compatible. The update also fixes weird Maximized startup issues on GNOME Wayland, however they were present on any sane compositor. Fixes alacritty#6842. Fixes alacritty#6455. Fixes alacritty#6184. Fixes alacritty#5684. Fixes alacritty#3574. Fixes alacritty#3460. Fixes alacritty#1336. Fixes alacritty#892. Fixes alacritty#458. Fixes alacritty#55. * Fix configuration link typo Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Fix `window.option_as_alt=Both` Fixes alacritty#7077. * Unset `XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN` in alacritty_terminal This variable is what being used for Wayland's activation stuff. * Raise double click threshold to 400ms This should improve the situation with some touchpads. GTK4 is also using the same value. * Prefer logical key for named keys Some keyboard layouts have named logical keys via shift combinations of some sorts. So prefer them. Fixes alacritty#7076. * Mention all the actions in the man page A lot of actions were left without a notice, so the only way to figure out some of them was to browse source code. An example of such actions were `Maximize` and `Minimize`, since we don't have a binding for them, so they were left even in alacritty-bindings(5). Explicitly list all the bindings we have. The search bindings were also not accurately restricted, since we allow them to be executed inside regardless of mode. * Use lowercase latters in bindings for h/m/l They were using uppercase latters, however our config expects everything as lowercase, because we're using `key_without_modifiers` + `ModifiersState`. * Remove unnecessary mutable references * Fix license syntax This patch updates the license field to follow the SPDX 2.1 license expression standard. * Use bracketed paste only for multi-char IME input Some IME setups do only `commit` single char input, like fcitx5 when doing ru input. * Fix manpage docs for shell section Closes alacritty#7087. Co-authored-by: Kirill Chibisov <[email protected]> * Fix keys like `+` not working on neo layouts The key_without_modifier removes all the modifiers including the multiple shift levels, which is not desired. In alacritty we just wanted to treat uppercase and lowercase latters the same, which we can with the help of builtin functions. * Mention `Forward`/`Back` mouse buttons in man page They were mentioned only in the changelog, but forgotten in the man page. * Add `terminal` config section to control OSCs Some environments demand certain OSC sequences to be disabled or some escape sequence could require handling which is out of scope of alacritty, but could be done by external script (OSC 777). Added section for now just handles the `OSC 52` sequence and changes its default to be `OnlyCopy`, which is handy for remote copy, but `Paste` is redundant because normal `Paste` hotkey could be used as well. Fixes alacritty#3386. Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Skip whitespaces for wide chars in preedit While we skip the spacers for the wide characters in the grid due to them having a proper flags, the draw_string method was generating the cells with incorrect flags leading to wide chars being cut off. * Make URL_REGEX more strict * Use ahash instead of fnv and regular hash function After evaluation of the ahash with the data alacritty uses it was discovered that it's 1.5-2x times faster when getting the already hashed values, which is the primary cases for alacritty's renderer. Given that ahash is generally faster, all the HashSet and HashMap's inside the alacritty were changed to use it as a hasher function. * Ignore scrolling multiplier on touchscreens * Apply transparent background colors to "UI" cells * Copy global IPC options for new windows This patch stores all options set for the Window ID `-1` and automatically applies them to new windows after their creation. This in theory makes it possible to have a fully dynamic "default config" without having to reapply it for every new window. Closes alacritty#7128. * Fix decorations_theme_variant spelling in manpage * Remove winit dependency from alacritty_config * Update regex-automata to v0.3.6 This seems like a sensible first step before looking into alacritty#7097. * Fix crash with anchored searches While this does **not** enable the use of anchors (`^`) in user regexes, it does prevent Alacritty from crashing when attempting to do so. * Change `window.padding` from u8 to u16 Fixes alacritty#6900. * Quote `None` consistently inside the man page `None` must be inside the `"`, since it's a string value. * Add examples to more sections Some sections were provided without a default, so provide an example for them. * Update winit to 0.29.1-beta Make use of new winit frame throttling mechanism used in RedrawRequested, which removes the need for having Wayland queue to ask for the frame callbacks. Fixes alacritty#7011. * Add bindings for macOS tabs This doesn't represnet the movement to add tabs on any other platform, unless winit could add a similar API for them. * Support startup notify on Wayland/X11 Activate a window to indicate that we want initial focus when the system uses startup notifications. Fixes alacritty#6931. * Add `prefer_egl` debug option Some systems have rendering issues when using GLX rather than EGL. While this is usually due to a driver bug, it is helpful to provide a workaround for this by allowing people to prefer EGL over GLX. This patch adds the new `debug.prefer_egl` option to provide this workaround. Closes alacritty#7056. * Remove obsolete ansicode.txt file The wiki contains a list of links to ANSI references: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/wiki/ANSI-References * Test man-pages compilation on the CI * Add missing position config docs * Fix regex memory usage This fixes an issue where regexes with a large number of possible states would consume excessive memory, since the entire DFA was compiled ahead of time. To solve this, the DFA is now built at runtime using `regex-automata`'s hybrid DFA. There are however still some checks performed ahead of time, causing errors with obscenely large regexes (`[0-9A-Za-z]{999999999}`), which shouldn't cause any issues. A regex which is large, but not large enough to fail the NFA construction (like `[0-9A-Za-z]{999999}`) will cause a long search of the entire grid, but will complete and show the match. Closes alacritty#7097. * Underline hint matches during selection This patch underlines the full regex hint match while the keyboard hint selection is in process. While it would be possible to color the entire match, this would only introduce unnecessary configuration options and be too noisy. The underline matches the mouse highlighting and has a less drastic visual impact. Closes alacritty#6178. * Bump VTE to 0.12.0 Fixes alacritty#6845. * Update the escape_support.md for sync updates Remove the DCS sync updates escape sequence since it's no longer supported. Fixes: 47d5007 (Bump VTE to 0.12.0) * Port from mio to polling This patch replaces the mio crate with the polling. Now that smol-rs/polling#96 has been merged, we should be at full feature parity with mio v0.6 now. Fixes alacritty#7104. Fixes alacritty#6486. * Update dependencies This patch applies all breaking and non-breaking dependency updates and bumps MSRV to 1.70.0. * Fix PTY being closed on creation The PTY got closed because `OwnedFd` automatically closed it. Fixes: 59c63d3 (Update dependencies) * Fix regex matches ending on multiline This fixes an issue where the reverse search for the regex start would truncate a character when ending on a newline, since it was omitting the EOI check in that case. This also fixes a separate issue which caused regexes which capture empty strings (e.g.: `.*`) to always report a match. This is a regression introduced in 73276b6. * Fix regex patterns allowing for empty strings This patch changes the mode we search for patterns which allow an empty string, by anchoring all searches. As a result we will match the longest possible match when multiple patterns are present (like `;*|rust`), instead of using the leftmost pattern only. This is only possible with empty matches since our parser is reset on every byte anyway, so anchoring the search makes no difference. Fixes alacritty#7276. * Use openpty-rustix instead of nix Follow upstream libraries and use rustix to reduce the amount of dependencies in the future. Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Fix `window.decorations_theme_variant` reload The live reload handling wasn't introduced when the option got added. Fixes alacritty#7295. * Add inline vi mode search This patch adds inline search to vi mode using `f`/`F` and `t`/`T` as default bindings. The behavior matches that of vim. Fixes alacritty#7203. * Bump rustix to 0.38.20 * Update winit to 0.29.2 and copypasta to 0.10.0 Fixes alacritty#7236. Fixes alacritty#7201. Fixes alacritty#7146. Fixes alacritty#6848. Fixes alacritty#3601. Fixes alacritty#3108. Fixes alacritty#2453. * Fix crash due to wrong drop order of clipboard Fixes alacritty#7309. * Prefer exact matches for bindings in mouse mode Only consider bindings without Shift if there are no actions defined for the actual mouse event. Closes alacritty#7292. * Fix typos * Add version 0.12.3 to CHANGELOG This is only an update to the development version and does not represent a stable release. * Avoid maximizing window when creating new tab This patch ignores the startup mode when creating a new tab on macOS to avoid maximizing an existing window. Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> * Fix clippy warnings * Add `window.blur` config option Fixes alacritty#972. * Add man 5 pages to upload_asset.sh They are compiled, but not being uploaded. * Bump glutin to 0.31.1 This fixes a crash on startup with macOS Sonoma. * Fix crash when leaving search after resize This fixes a crash which could occur when leaving search with a visible match after shrinking the terminal height to be lower than the original line the focused match was in. Closes alacritty#7054. * Bump ahash to 0.8.6 * Remove `alacritty_config` from alacritty_terminal There's no need to force alacritty's user configuration on other users of the crate, thus provide the options actually used by alacritty_terminal itself. * Fix cursor being hidden after reaching timeout The timeout and blink events could be delivered at the same time, so canceling blinking won't work and we'll still have an event. * Use builtin font to draw powerline symbols In addition to box drawing it was decided to also draw powerline symbols, since those are quite common and rather simple to draw with present box drawing infra. * Unify CLI config override mechanisms This patch changes the way the `-o` config option works when specified at startup to function the same way as the IPC mechanism. While this should technically perform the exact same way, it should hopefully make it a little easier to understand how CLI config replacement works. * Add `--option` argument to `create-window` This patch adds a new CLI parameter to the `create-window` subcommand, matching the existing `--option` parameter when creating a new Alacritty instance. This parameter allows setting up the initial window configuration from the CLI without having to call `alacritty msg config`, making sure that all options are set appropriately right from the start. Closes alacritty#6238. * Change default `bell.animation` to `Linear` The default animation feels really choppy, but it's just how its function looks. * Fix visual bell getting stuck on macOS Fixes alacritty#7325. * Fix message bar damage Fixes alacritty#7224. * Fix Sync capability in terminfo Alacritty has supported mode 2026 for synchornized updates for a few months, but the terminfo entry still used the old DCS sequence originally supported by iTerm2. Since many other terminal emulators and applications seem to be standardizing around 2026, change the terminfo entry to use SM instead of DCS. * Fix Vi cursor not being dirty when scrolling * Simplify powerline drawing algorithm Iterate over points in line instead of drawing it right away and then finding it in the buffer. Fixes: 4a26667 (Use builtin font to draw powerline symbols) * Add error handling for OpenGL connection details * Update VTE to 0.13.0 * Add support for DECRPM/DECRQM * Damage only terminal inside `alacritty_terminal` The damage tracking was including selection and vi_cursor which were rendering viewport related, however all the damage tracking inside the `alacritty_terminal` was _terminal viewport_ related, meaning that it should be affected by `display_offset`. Refactor the damage tracking so `alacritty_terminal` is only tracking actual terminal updates and properly applying display offset to them, while `alacritty` pulls this damage into its own UI damage state. Fixes alacritty#7111. * Create only one branch per major release Having a separate branch for each release makes it harder to maintain without an actual benefit, since every release from the major version is linear, so creating branches doesn't make any sense. They also collapse with the tag names leading to ambiguous refs. * Make sections the same case in man pages * Fix SelectLastTab in alacritty-bindings(5) * Make man pages look consistent Part of the man pages were using _value_, other part were using just value, thus make everything as _value_. Also properly dot terminate and add spacing through out the man pages. * Explicitly use `=` in alacritty(5) This should help with understanding how to write TOML without reading too much into specification. * Improve section to TOML section refs This should give more hints where to put things. * Add example for [window] section in alacritty(5) This should give a hint on how to generally tweak things. * Drop repo link in *SEE ALSO* man sections The alacritty documentation is fully present inside the man pages, the repo provides nothing extra other than a way to report issues, which lives in its own section anyway. * Fix default for [[hints.enabled]] in man pages The default was incomplete, since `command` was missing. * Add migrate to alacritty(1) * Damage entire window on font size change Font size could change without changing the cell dimensions, like becoming slightly higher/wider. Fixes: 40160c5 (Damage only terminal inside `alacritty_terminal`) * Fix IME popup positioning When setting cursor area, the popup will be placed either above or below not obscuring the supplied region, however we were still offsetting line with `+1` putting the cursor at the bottom of the line, and given that area is from the top-left corner, the wrong area was marked for not being obscured. It was also discovered that some compositors, like GNOME, position IME in the bottom right corner of the supplied region, which is wrong, but it renders IME popup not very useful, since it's far away from the place it should be, thus try to not obscure just a few characters near the cursor. Given that X11 doesn't support area setting, it uses the old logic with offsetting. Co-developed-by: lilydjwg <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: lilydjwg <[email protected]> * Bump dependencies Update dependencies with `cargo update` as well as do explicit update of winit, crossfont, and regex-automata. * Make AA stronger for undercurl This improves undercurl rendering preserving its original thickness. This also makes it look not out-of place when places next to other lines. * Document macOS shortcuts for search * Adjust default Vi's SearchBackwards binding We have the same policy with Shift for numbers. * Fix DECRPM reporting The DECRQM uses `p` to query, but the reply uses `y`. Fixes alacritty#7397. * Optimize undercurl shader This removes the if and lowers amount of operations. * Fallback to underline shader when dotted fails Some hardware is just bad. Fixes alacritty#7404. * Don't use `::*` for enum variants in bindings * Fix chars usage inside the mouse bindings Fixes alacritty#7413. * Implement kitty's keyboard protocol 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 alacritty#6378. * Update to crossfont 0.6.0 * Fix trigger of normal bindings in mouse mode We should ensure that the `Shift` is actually pressed when trying to prefer regular bindings instead of the ones if we had Shift applied. Fixes: 500b696 (Prefer exact matches for bindings in mouse mode) Fixes alacritty#7415. * Don't emit text for NamedKey without text repr When the key doesn't have textual representation we shouldn't emit the text for them, since they are processed via bindings. Also, fix the logic to handle named keys with disambiguate without special modes/modifiers. Fixes alacritty#7423. * Fix message bar not damaged when the same size The regression was added due to `y` coordinate in OpenGL differs to `y` inside the damage rectangles. Fixes: 40160c5 (Damage only terminal inside `alacritty_terminal`) * Bump crossfont to 0.7.0 * Alacritty version 0.13.0-rc1 * Add link to rendered config docs This adds a link to alacritty.org's rendered configuration file documentation. * Fix the order of `ClearSelection` in Vi mode Fixes alacritty#7438. * Account for option_as_alt when doing kitty protocol By default `Alt` is not a real `Alt` on macOS, so we shouldn't treat it as a modifier. Fixes alacritty#7443. * Bump winit to 0.29.5 Fixes alacritty#7449. * Keep IME always enabled on X11 Fixes alacritty#7195. * Alacritty version 0.13.0-rc2 * Apply modifiers before presses in kitty protocol While this doesn't handle releases with multiple identical modifiers pressed, the release can't work reliable anyway, since one modifier could be pressed before focusing the window, thus tracking modifiers based on the keysym values won't work as it was suggested by kitty author. Links: kovidgoyal/kitty#6913 * Bump winit to 0.29.7 This also bumps other dependencies along the way. Fixes alacritty#2886. * Alacritty version 0.13.0 * Mark SimpleFullscreen as macOS only startup mode * Derive `Clone` for `EventLoopSender` * Fix `alacritty migrate` with nonexistent imports Fixes alacritty#7473. * Remove direct dependency on once_cell With MSRV 1.70, std now contains the necessary parts. * Use pre-composed key for `Alt` bindings on macOS Fixes alacritty#7475. * Fix inability to bind `Alt+Control` on Windows Fixes alacritty#7506. * Passthrough potential errors for `EventLoopSender` * Don't substitute `\n` in char bindings This broke unintentionally due to routing paste-like input via paste function.

Fixes alacritty#7494. Fixes alacritty#7474. Fixes alacritty#7472. * Fix number-based mouse bindings The toml migration introduced a regression which stopped numbered key binding's from working. This patch implements the required number type to make things work again. Fixes alacritty#7527. * Fix replacing optional fields This fixes an issue with the default `SerdeReplace` implementation where it would never recurse through options but always replace the entire option with the new value.

Part-of: alacritty#7422. * Fix invalid bounds in selection range conversion * Don't report associated text only for C0/C1 This has a side effect that we'll have text reported for Alt+Shift+T and similar, but only C0/C1 should be excluded and Alt+Shift+T is emitting neither, thus regular `T` will be reported. Fixes alacritty#7657. * Move CHANGELOG entry for sextants to proper section * Don't use kitty sequences outside protocol Originally kitty defined that functional keys, which are not encoded by default, like `Pause` should be encoded with `CSI u`. However the specification was clarified and now it says that terminal may ignore that part. Given that Alacritty tries to follow xterm/urxvt when it comes to bindings, CSI u bindings are not send for consistency reasons. This also brings back F13-F20 bindings used by Alacritty in 0.12.3, as well as explicitly defines `NumpadEnter` like it was before.

It also changes the way hyperlinks with the same ID are highlighted, removing the restriction of being on consecutive lines and instead highlighting all visible cells that correspond to the matching hyperlink. Closes alacritty#7766. * Bump winit to 0.29.15 * Bump dependencies This bumps all dependencies that can be updated without introducing a build failure. * Drop MSRV to 1.70.0 * Allow setting terminal env vars via PTY options Closes alacritty#7778. * Alacritty version 0.13.2-rc1 * Fix kitty encoding used for char input without text On Windows some key combinations for regular text input, like Ctrl+1 don't have any text attached, so they were generating the kitty escape sequence even when they shouldn't. * Fix msi installer build This works around an issue where wix was pulling pre-release extensions and thus breaking compatibility with our used wix version. * Alacritty version 0.13.2 * Fix build --------- Signed-off-by: Dennis Maier <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: lilydjwg <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Kirill Chibisov <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Nathan Lilienthal <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: CRATO LABS <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: K.B.Dharun Krishna <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Anhad Singh <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: maierd <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Pavel Roskin <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Sonu Bardai <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Yug Shende <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Nick Reilingh <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Andrea Frigido <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Kirill Bulatov <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: tv <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Max Brunsfeld <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Arhum Jain <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Rolf Sievert <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Simone Ragusa <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: John Nunley <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Kyle Willmon <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Julian Braha <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Gregory Anders <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Cédric Van Rompay <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Hyper <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Philip Dubé <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Lars Francke <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Omar Magdy <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: James McCoy <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: WuerfelDev <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Popa Ioan Alexandru <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Mohammad AlSaleh <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Conrad Irwin <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Alexandru Placinta <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Yadi Abdalhalim <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Dimitris Apostolou <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Friz64 <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: huajin tong <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Small White <[email protected]>
I'm quite honestly tired of looking at YAML files with broken indentation. While YAML is an awful format even for experienced users, clearly it's completely impossible for inexperienced ones to grasp its concept. And the documentation of our configuration file with everything commented out by default probably doesn't help.
Since as far as I know all previous issues with TOML have been fixed and escape sequences can be easily specified in TOML strings now, I think it would make sense to switch to TOML as our default format.
In a transitory period we could probably get away with just loading existing YAML files and writing them out as TOML, to allow for backward compatibility. This will probably produce somewhat messy TOML files, but I can't imagine an auto-generated TOML file would be much worse than a YAML file.
The only major drawbacks I see is that this is a rather big change that will no doubt annoy a bunch of people and some more advanced features of YAML (like anchors) are not supported in TOML. But nobody really needs anchors and I kinda like annoying people.
@kchibisov You proposed this a while ago on IRC, do you think this is a bad idea?
