When a line is rapidly updated with only some of the cells being
actually changed (eg: progress counter or other status being frequently
updated), it is desirable to avoid paying the cost of shaping the entire
line.
When bidi is not enabled we can assume that it is safe to break clusters
on whitespace boundaries. Doing so allows each of those whitespace
separated words to be shaped and potentially cached independently,
which reduces the amount of CPU time spent for the whole line.
This commit just adjusts the clustering, which reduces the CPU
utilization a bit.

Do it "more properly": use intrusive list linkage to manage three
indices:
* hash lookup
* recency
* frequency
eviction is frequency based, but in order to avoid things that were
super hot in the past and that are no longer hot clogging up the cache,
eviction will incrementally age out least recently used entries that
haven't been active in the span of some number of get/put operations.
Aging scales down the frequency value to reduce its strength, so an aged
item isn't necessarily immediately a candidate for removal, it just
makes it more likely to be picked up by the frequency based removal as
it goes unused for an extended period.
Right now wezterm already allows to pass a cmdline to execute (instead
of the shell) by calling "wezterm start" with trailing arguments, e.g.
wezterm start -- bash
However, most other terminals implement this via a "-e" option. This
seems to be adopted widely in the wild, such that some third-party
frameworks just blindly expect the user's terminal to use the "-e"
option for this.
One such notable framework is kio from KDE Plasma, that calls the user's
terminal in that way when launching a desktop file that uses
Terminal=true. [1]
To solve this problem, we add a compatibility layer by adding a dummy
"-e" option. This will then consume the "-e" leaving the remaining
arguments as trailing arguments, which will later be consumed by our
existing implementation in the "prog" option.
Given that clap does not really support multiple arguments writing to
the same destination [2], this seems like the most sane implementation,
even if it is a hack.
It seems to work reliable, even for edge cases where we pass wezterm
options as trailing arguments, e.g. the following will just work and do
the expected outcome (and will **not** parse "--position" as a wezterm
argument):
wezterm start -e echo --position 10,10

I can't think of a good reason for this being here. I think I
may have been lazy about resolving the lifetime annotations
and just stuck in an extra buffer while building the original
version of this logic, and then forgot about it.
This commit resolves the lifetime annotations and directly
references the passed in buffer.

I spent a few hours in heap profilers. What I found was:
* Inefficient use of heap when building up runs of
`Action::Print(char)`.
-> Solve by adding `Action::PrintString(String)`
and accumulating utf8 bytes rather than u32 codepoints.
* Inefficient use of heap when building Quad buffers: the default
exponential growth of `Vec` tended to waste 40%-75% of the allocated
capacity, and since we could keep ~1024 of these in cache, there's
a lot of potential for waste.
-> Solve by bounding the growth to 64 at a time. This has similar
characteristics to exponential growth at the default 80x24 terminal
size. May need to add a config option for this step size for users
with very large terminals.
* Lazy eviction from the LFU caches. The underlying cache advisor is
somewhat probabilistic and has a minimum cache size of 256, making
it difficult to maintain low heap utilization.
-> Solve by replacing it with a very simple LFU algorithm. It doesn't
seem to hurt much at the default terminal size with the default
cache sizes. If we make the cache sizes smaller, its overhead is
reduced.
Some further experimentation is needed to adjust defaults, but this
should help reduce heap usage.

When using `key_map_preference="Mapped"`, `ctrl-shift-1` is actually

be meaningful in layouts that have the same US mapping for the number

I've expanded the number of bits from 16->32 without impacting
the overall struct sizes and reserved 2 bits for super/subscript.
I refer to these as vertical alignment properties for conceptual
consistency with css.
SGR 73, 74, 75 are used to set super, sub and normal vertical alignment.
These are compatible with mintty.
However, mintty just added support for setting both attributes to render in
small caps in 06ac446049
(https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/1171)
I was going to upgrade to the unicode 15 font, but in testing this I
decided that the logic is slightly complex and the glyphs are often
difficult to see at most terminal font sizes, which generates questions
from users, so just fall back to notdef.
The clustered line storage impl of get_cell() is O(column-index)
as cells have to be iterated in order.
The render pass was calling it 3 times to resolve information
about the cursor; reduce that to just once.
It was also calling it once per cell to determine whether the
cell needed to be replaced with a custom glyph if custom block
glyphs were enabled, making it accidentally quadratic!
While it wasn't especially expensive, it did show up in profiling,
so this commit removes that call: we can cache the block glyph
key in the shaper info which is a better place for it anyway,
so that's what we do.
Similarly, there was some extraneous work to call get_cell
when computing some shaper info; remove that too!
That one might be slightly contentious: the is-followed-by-space
logic used to check the successor cell by index to see if it
was a space, but now looks at the successor shaped glyph to see
if it was a space. That might actually be a better choice, but
it may have some ripple effects.
According to its benchmarks, it's almost 2x faster than
unicode_segmentation. It doesn't appear to make a visible
difference to `time cat bigfile`, but I'll take anything
that gives more headroom for such little effort of switching.
This is a weird attribute TBH.
xterm seems to replace the cells with spaces: copying and pasting
results in spaces.
Kitty ignores it.
VTE doesn't render it but allows copying and pasting.
The latter is now also the behavior in wezterm.
This provides a means for more easily extending the default key
tables without forcing the user to recreate the entire config
for themselves.
wezterm.gui.default_keys is also added by this, but it is likely
not as useful.
There were two problems:
* We weren't correctly invalidating when the hover state changed
(a recent regression caused by recent caching changes)
* We'd underline every link with the same destination on hover,
not just the one under the mouse (longstanding wart)
Recent changes allow the application layer to reference the underlying
Lines directly, so we can restore the original and expected
only-highlight-under-the-mouse by switching to those newer APIs.
Adjust the cache values so that we know to also verify the current
highlight and invalidate.
I was a little surprised to see that this also works with mux client
panes: I was expecting to need to do some follow up on those because
they return copies of Line rather than references to them. That happens
to work because the mux client updates the hyperlinks at the time where
it inserts into its cache. The effect of that is that lines in mux
client panes won't update to new hyperlink rules if they were received
prior to a change in the config.

This makes the search feel more responsive.
We search from bottom to top so that we show the more recent results
first, but for the sake of efficiency when accumulating result chunks
we need to reverse the order of the results vec from how it was
previously.
Each result chunk is loosely ordered from top to bottom, so we sort
it and reverse it: results[0] is the bottom-most result.
New rows are accumulated on the end of the result array; this is
not only more efficient, but it preverses the match result number
ordering.
The next/prior functions need to be swapped to account for this change
in result order.

There are caveats to determining this, but when we think

The idea here is that different kinds of panes may want to expose
additional metadata to lua scripts. It would be a bit weird to add
a Pane method for each of those and plumb it all the way through
the various APIs, so just allowing a pane impl to return a dynamic
value (likely an Object) allows a bunch of flexibility.
This commit exposes the clientpane is_tardy boolean and the time
since the last data was recevied (since_last_response_ms) from
the mux client pane implementation: these are used to show the
tardiness indicator in the client pane.
Exposing this data enables the user to add that info to their
status bar if they wish.
The default behavior for charselect is to show the recent category
if you have previously used it, otherwise, show the default emotion
category.
refs: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/2163
CTRL-SHIFT-U is a new default key assignment for this new modal.
It opens up a fuzzy searchable browser that defaults to showing
emoji/emoticons. The category can by cycled through the suggested
emoji categories using CTRL-r. Unlike the system emoji palette,
wezterm includes a category for nerdfont symbols, and another
that is a list of all unicode codepoint names, so you should be
able to browse for pretty much any codepoint you can think of.
The modal also allows fuzzy searching based on:
* The official unicode name
* The github shortcode
* codepoint value in hex
so if you know the codepoint value but not the name, you can
still find a way to input what you're looking for.
Pressing Enter will copy the selected item to the clipboard
send it to the active pane, and cancel the modal. You can therefore
repeat the insert by simply pasting.
I plan to add frecency to this in a later commit: that way the
frequently/recently used selections will show in a category of
their own and make it easier to re-input them.

Tidy some things up to avoid some dead code and redundant impls.
Make it easier to select whether you want to implement the new
methods in terms of the old, or the old methods in terms of
the new in a given pane impl.
Remove the faulty cache key stuff and hang references to the cached
data directly off the underlying Line. That makes the association
between the the Line and the data O(1) plus some basic cache
invalidation checks.
Adjust the shape cache portion of this to use the same ID for the
shape, so that things that invalidate just the quads (such as cursor
movement when not composing, and selection) only need to recompute
the quads without re-shaping.
Adds Pane::for_each_logical_line_in_stable_range_mut and
Pane::with_lines_mut which allow iterating mutably over lines.
The idea is that this will allow the renderer to directly cache
data in the Line via its appdata without having to build cumbersome
external caching logic and managing cache keys.
This commit just swaps the implementation around for localpane
and sanity checks that the renderer functions.
Various overlays and the mux client don't properly implement these
yet and current warn at compile time and panic at runtime.
To follow is the logic to cache the data and make sure that it
works the way that I think before converting the other Pane
implementations.
The cache key isn't quite right, leading to some artifacts
in some cases.
I have a cunning plan, but it will take me a bit to wrap
it up, so in the meantime, disable these caches.

This doesn't mean that it renders at 1fps, just that it goes through
the simpler path of scheduling on the boundaries rather than at
animation_fps through the intermediate stages, where it would be
useless.
Introduces a heap-based quad allocator that we cache on a per-line
basis, so if a line is unchanged we simply need to copy the previously
computed set of quads for it into the gpu quad buffer.
The results are encouraging wrt. constructing those quads; the
`quad_buffer_apply` is the cost of the copy operation, compare with
`render_screen_line_opengl` which is the cost of computing the quads;
it's 300x better at the p50 and >100x better at p95 for a full-screen
updating program:
full 2880x1800 screen top:
```
STAT p50 p75 p95
Key(quad_buffer_apply) 2.26µs 5.22µs 9.60µs
Key(render_screen_line_opengl) 610.30µs 905.22µs 1.33ms
Key(gui.paint.opengl) 35.39ms 37.75ms 45.88ms
```
However, the extra buffering does increase the latency of
`gui.paint.opengl` (the overall cost of painting a frame); contrast the
above with the latency in the same scenario with the current `main`
(rather than this branch):
```
Key(gui.paint.opengl) 19.14ms 21.10ms 28.18ms
```
Note that for an idle screen this latency is ~1.5ms but that is also true
of `main`.
While the overall latency in the histogram isn't a slam dunk,
running `time cat bigfile` is ~10% faster on my mac.
I'm sure there's something that can be shaved off to get a more
convincing win.
This is really a proof of concept commit; I want to be able to pass
more structured data into the shader as uniforms and the basic
macros provided by glium make that a bit awkward.
What I came up with is a slightly more dynamic uniform builder
thingy.
I'm using this to pass in a copy of the various blinking easing
functions.
Those are incomplete and unused, but it shows that the technique works.
Use the font height as the basis for the size, rather than the width,
to avoid the buttons being too condensed.
Explicitly use the pixel height for the dimensions so that the
buttons are square.

The prior mutually exclusive behavior kept surprising people so let's
just flip this around.
This is potentially a "breaking" change for folks, but I think it is
worth it.
I was seeing a black "hole" in the center of this gradient:
```
background = {
{
source = {
Gradient={
colors = {"rgb(45,26,109)", "black"},
orientation = {
Radial={
cx = 0.75,
cy = 0.75,
radius = 1.25,
}
},
}
},
width="100%",
height="100%",
},
```
setting noise=0 "fixed" it, so this commit localizes that fix
to the center of the gradient by preventing noise from wrapping
around the gradient.
This breaking API change allows us to explicitly generate EOF when the
taken writer is dropped.
The examples have been updated to show how to manage read, write
and waiting without deadlock for both linux and windows.
Need to confirm that this is still good on macOS, but my
confidence is high.
I've also removed ssh2 support from this crate as part of this
change. We haven't used it directly in wezterm in a long while
and removing it from here means that there is slightly less code
to keep compiling over and over.

Previously, we'd unconditionally enable dual source blending for the
text foreground layer when rendering. That meant that if the user had
configured the fg color to include an alpha value it would get "stamped
through" the draw all the way to the background, making that whole pixel
take on that alpha value rather than allowing it to blend through the
way you might expect.
In prior releases that didn't matter, but since we now allow configuring
the fg color with alpha, and allow using escape sequences to set the fg
for a span to something with alpha, there is now a much higher chance of
something looking weird.
Dual source blending is only really needed for subpixel-aa and that
isn't enabled by default.
This commit changes the behavior to use regular alpha blending if the
main config (rather than a per-font override) hasn't set the freetype
load/render target to one that enables subpixel-aa.
That means that alpha channel values work as expected for fg color
by default.
If you want to enable subpixel-aa you need to enable it globally
and be aware that it will cause weirdness when trying to use alpha
channels for the fg text color.
The docs now also indicate this behavior.
This limitation could be removed by making text rendering significantly
more complex and I don't fancy doing that at this time.
Since the initial attach is async, we'd create the window at the
default/initial size and then never reconcile the size of the remote
tabs once they'd attached.
This commit introduces an event that allows the gui window to do that.
The action that it takes is to take the max width and height between
its current size and the size of a newly added tab and resizes to
that new size, if it changed.

The recent work on the scrollback made it easier to constrain the

Use those new parameters to constrain quickselect search to

add a new parameter to QuickSelectArgs that allows overriding that
range.

In order to avoid searching for "c", "ca", "cat" when typing "cat",
this commit introduces a hard-coded 350ms debounce.
refs: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1569
If you typed "cat" in the search, the chances are that wezterm
would kick off a search for "c" before you finished typing,
then "ca" and then finally "cat".
There was a race:
clear by_line highlights,
queue search for "c"
clear by_line highlights,
queue search for "ca"
clear by_line highlights,
queue search for "cat"
accumulate highlights for "c" into by_line
accumulate highlights for "ca" into by_line
accumulate highlights for "cat" into by_line
so the final result was a superposition of all of those results,
which was weird!
The fix is simple: clear by_line when we get the results of
an async search.
Adds the option to use an alternative clusted line storage for
the cells component of the line.
This structure is not optimal for mutation, but is better structured
for:
* matching/extracting textual content
* using less memory than the prior simple vector
For some contrast: the line "hello" occupies 5 Cells in the cell based
storage; that 5 discrete Cells each with their own tiny string
and a copy of their attributes.
The clustered version of the line stores one copy of the cell
attributes, the string "hello" and some small (almost constant size)
overhead for some metadata. For simple lines of ascii text, the
clustered version is smaller as there are fewer copies of the cell
attributes. Over the span of a large scrollback and typical terminal
display composition, this saving is anticipated to be significant.
The clustered version is also cheaper to search as it doesn't require
building a copy of the search text for each line (provided the line is
already in clustered form).
This commit introduces the capability: none of the internals request the
new form yet, and there are likely a few call sites that need to be
tweaked to avoid coersion from clustered to vector form.
We didn't actually update the global config, just the per-window
configs, which led to weird stale throwbacks to earlier versions
of the config when spawning windows or new panes.
Fix that up by explicitly reloading the global config when the
window appearance is changed. That isn't ideal as we will reload
once per window, but it's "OK".
While poking at this, I noticed that the get/set config methods
on the termwiztermtab overlay weren't hooked up, and also made
a point of calling those for any overlays during a window config
reload event, so that per-window overrides are more likely to get
picked up and respected.

It can be confusing to see the same log lines when re-opening

in a global to make that feel more natural.
Because that causes the initial `OpenGL Initialized!` log to

explicitly log the version information, along with some

Attach the mux events to the frontend workspace reconciliation function

Ensure that we correctly clear out any overlay panes as part of the
switch: we need to remove them from the mux so that the mux will
correctly identify that the mux is empty when the main panes from
the workspace are closed. The problem case was that the debug overlay
state was forgotten by the gui when activating the new workspace, but
we didn't tell the mux to kill it off, so subsequently CTRL-D'ing
the windows closed the windows but left the wezterm process running with
no head.

The fixup callback can now by async, which makes it possible to use
other async functions in the callback.
There is an additional parameter to wezterm.exec_domain that allows
setting the label that is shown in the launcher menu.
It accepts either a string value or an async callback function
that can be used to compute the label dynamically.
An ExecDomain is a variation on WslDomain with the key difference
being that you can control how to map the command that would be
executed.
The idea is that the user can define eg: a domain for a docker
container, or a domain that chooses to run every command in its
own cgroup.
The example below shows a really crappy implementation as a
demonstration:
```
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
return {
exec_domains = {
-- Commands executed in the woot domain have "WOOT" echoed
-- first and are then run via bash.
-- `cmd` is a SpawnCommand
wezterm.exec_domain("woot", function(cmd)
if cmd.args then
cmd.args = {
"bash",
"-c",
"echo WOOT && " .. wezterm.shell_join_args(cmd.args)
}
end
-- you must return the SpawnCommand that will be run
return cmd
end),
},
default_domain = "woot",
}
```
This commit unfortunately does more than should go into a single
commit, but I'm a bit too lazy to wrangle splitting it up.
* Reverts the nil/null stuff from #2177 and makes the
`ExtendSelectionToMouseCursor` parameter mandatory to dodge
a whole load of urgh around nil in table values. That is
necessary because SpawnCommand uses optional fields and the
userdata proxy was making that a PITA.
* Adds some shell quoting helper functions
* Adds ExecDomain itself, which is really just a way to
to run a callback to fixup the command that will be run.
That command is converted to a SpawnCommand for the callback
to process in lua and return an adjusted version of it,
then converted back to a command builder for execution.

reconciling causes gui windows to be created and allows for stuff like
this, that would otherwise fail because the gui window hadn't been
created yet.
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local mux = wezterm.mux
wezterm.on("gui-startup", function()
local tab, pane, window = mux.spawn_window{}
window:gui_window():set_inner_size(1200, 1200)
end)
return {
}
```
Currently implemented on X11 only, this function returns information
about the geometry of the screen(s).
This is taken from the same source of information we use for the
`--position` CLI argument to `wezterm start`.
```
> wezterm.window.screens()
{
"by_name": {
"DisplayPort-1": {
"height": 2160,
"name": "DisplayPort-1",
"width": 3840,
"x": 0,
"y": 0,

This is a bit of an unsatisfactory commit... the bulk of it is
augmenting our calls into XCB to ensure that we check the status of each
request; the idea was that doing so would highlight the source of the
bad drawable error that is being surfaced in #2198, but after doing
that, it still doesn't highlight the offending call.
My conclusion is that either something in MESA/EGL or the IME is
generating calls that we cannot see into and that one of those is
referencing the window id that we just destroyed.
The resolution then is a bit gross: instead of destroying the window
when we need to close it, we first unmap it to remove it from the
screen, then after 2 seconds we destroy it.

We need the mux window builder to notify in order for the ConnectionUI

Previously, the mux layer had no internal understanding of titles other
than the Pane::get_title method to return state from a pane.
Users have asked for ways to explicitly set titles on windows and tabs,
so this commit is a step towards that.
The mux window and tab objects now store a title string.
The terminal layer now emits Alert::WindowTitleChanged when the window
title is changed via eg: OSC 0 or OSC 2.
The mux layer will respond to Alert::WindowTitleChanged by resolving the
window that corresponds to the source pane and amending its title.
The MuxWindow and MuxTab objects now provide accessor methods for the
title.
TabInformation (as used by format-tab-title and format-window-title) now
exposes the underlying window_id as well as tab_title and window_title.
The tab title can be changed via the lua MuxTab type, but there is not
currently an escape sequence associated with this.
The defaults for format-tab-title and format-window-title don't
currently consider these new title strings.

Previously, trying to do something like `foo = "bar"` in the debug
overlay wouldn't succeed, because we were always trying to wrap
the line inside `return {line}`, which allowed for only expressions
to be used.
Now we also allow a fully formed statement to be used, which means
that that kind of assignment can be performed in the repl, making
it a bit more convenient to try stuff out.

Using the newly exposed-to-lua mux apis, you may now run some lua code
at GUI startup and/or mux startup, just prior to any default windows
being created.
If you happen to spawn any panes as a result of this, wezterm will
skip creating the default program.
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local mux = wezterm.mux
-- This produces a window split horizontally into three equal parts
wezterm.on("gui-startup", function()
wezterm.log_info("doing gui startup")
local tab, pane, window = mux.spawn_window{}
mux.split_pane(pane, {size=0.3})
mux.split_pane(pane, {size=0.5})
end)

The intent is to expose Mux related functions to lua, so `wezterm.mux`
will be that module table.
In order to test this out in the debug overlay, I realized that the
overlay was running functions in a different thread and didn't have
access to the mux, so this commit also tweaks the debug overlay repl to
execute the input in the main thread.
The result is that it is now possible to do
`wezterm.mux.active_workspace()` in the debug overlay to print the
active workspace name.
More functions will follow.

Main thing to note here is that the open crate has deprecated
open::that_in_background, but made open::that non-blocking.
I think this is OK, but I'm a little cagey about what will
happen with this on Windows. We may need to spawn our own
thread for this if things go awry.
I did an ad-hoc test where I set the new tab button background to
an Animated value and saw that it eased in and out.
However, this commit doesn't make anything use this yet.
This is prep for future work where I'll be moving more of the main
monospace rendering into the box model code and factoring out
this aspect of animation.
Useful if you want to add smaller items to your background layers
every so often; you can specify the distance between them and make
it independent of the item height.
The color can have alpha and blend with other layers.
This is helpful if your image has fully transparent portions
and you want to explicitly place a color in there.
The `File` variant for background layers may now be an object
that specifes a speed factor. That factor is applied to the
animation frame durations in the loaded image, allowing the
playback rate to be adjusted.
Adjusts the background rendering logic so that we now allocate
a render layer for each defined background layer. This allows
their individual opacity value to multiple and blend together.
As part of this, I noticed that the big jpegs I was using could
take 400ms or more to load, so I added a basic cache to avoid
loading the same image multiple times around a config reload.
This adds some types that will enable richer background images.
* Can specify multiple layers
* Each layer can select from image files or gradient definitions
* Layers have additional properties to specify positioning, scaling,
tiling and whether they scroll with the viewport.
None of the additional properties are hooked up yet.
This commit allows for the SplitPane internal action to use the
pane id of an existing pane as the source of the pane to be added
in the new split target, rather than spawning a new command.
This can be used to move a pane from one tab to another, and is
analagous to tmux's `join-pane` command.

Make the layer allocation more dynamic, which makes it
possible for the box model stuff to allocate a layer based
on the zindex for an element.
Adjust the box model code to cascade the base zindex via
the layer context so that the render stage can select
the correct layer.
This fixes up rendering tabs over the top of the right status
area.
Wraps up the changes from the following diff and allows for the modal
layer (and box model) to use alpha for poly quads.
Change the default background color for pane select to be slightly
transparent.
Each layer has the same 3-pass draw that we use for the main terminal
display.
These layers allow for potentially compositing between the layers.
That is untested at the moment as the upper layers use the box model
stuff which hard-codes its work to the vb index 1 which doesn't
use regular alpha blending.
This is still a bit of a WIP, but this commit:
* Introduces a new "Modal" concept to the GUI layer. The intent is
that modal intercepts key and mouse events while active, and renders
over the top of the rest of the normal display.
I think there might be a couple of cases where key events skirt
through this, but this is good enough as a first step.
Also, the render is forced into layer 1 which has some funny side
effects: if the modal choses to render transparent, it will poke
a hole in the window because all the rendering happens together:
there aren't distinct layer compositing passes.
* Add a new PaneSelect action that is implemented as a modal.
It uses quickselect style alphabet -> pane label generation and
renders the labels over ~the middle of each pane using an
enlarged version of the window frame font. Typing the label
will activate that pane. Escape will cancel the modal.
More styling and docs will follow in a later commit.

This, along with the plumbing included here, allows specifying
the destination of the split (now you can specify top/left, whereas
previously it was limited to right/bottom), as well as the size
of the split, and also whether the split targets the node at the
top level of the tab rather than the active pane--that is referred
to as full-width in tmux terminology.
https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/578
Invalid option names, or values that evaluate as nil (such as the `foo`
above: that's treated as a global variable reference, but `foo` isn't a
defined global and evaluates as `nil`) will now cause the program
startup to error out with an actionable error message.
Previously, the invalid config name would generate a warning, and the
invalid value would silently have no effect as it has the same effect as
omitting the named value and leaving it as its default value.
I think these cases should both immediately error out and stop
further processing, so that's what we're doing.
This commit also adds support for adding:
```
#[dynamic(deprecated = "use newer option instead")]
pub some_config_value: bool,
```
but not options currently use this.
To do this, we split `Pattern` into the underlying pattern for the mux
layer (which is part of the codec), and another for the config layer,
so that we can specify this new mode.
At the gui layer, we translate the selection variant into the actual
selection text and map it to the mux Pattern enum.
When taking the selection text, we restrict it to just the first line.

Turn on multi-line mode by default, and improve the localpane

That allows:

```
to match the first line from this, but not the second:
```

which has mods=`ALT|LEFT_ALT` against `ALT` and would fail.
We need to strip out the positional ALTs from the modifiers
in order to successfully match.

This commit re-arranges the code so that an overlay can have a local
stack of key table activations; this allows copy_mode and search_mode
key tables to layer on top of the user's window level key tables.
Previously, we'd just stick the search_mode entry on top of the global
state, which worked, but had the undesirable side effect of hijacking
the Enter key when switching to another tab in the window.
refs: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/993
The copy overlay now has a notion of running in search mode vs. copy
mode; it can be launched in either mode.
Search mode has a separate key table called `search_mode`.
Activating copy mode while search mode is active will now update
the mode of the existing overlay, rather than cancelling and creating
a new instance, and vice versa.
Activating copy mode while search mode is active will replace the
current key table activation (which is assumed to be `copy_mode`)
with `search_mode`, and vice versa.
The viewport is no longer scrolled to the bottom when activating search
mode.

Moves the key handling in the copy overlay to be driven entirely

If we had previously killed all the panes in a remote mux,
and then reconnected to it using the launcher menu attach option,
we could end up in a confusing state where we connect but don't
show anything for the remote; it looks like nothing happened
even though it is legitimately showing the empty remote mux.
This commit checks for that case and spawns the default program
in the remote if there are no panes.
This commit allows the currently active window to:
* Spawn a new tab in the active window (rather than spawning
a new window) to host the connection status
* Auto-close that connection UI tab (rather than the whole window)
when the window is no longer needed
* Pass the current window through to use as the primary window when
assigning remote window/tabs.
The net effect of this is that there are fewer transient windows,
and that it is easier to connect a set of domains to the active
workspace.

The heart of the issue here was due to the window-reuse logic that
tries to reuse a GUI window that is no longer associated with a mux
window.
Each GUI window subscribes to the mux for mux events, but it filters
according to is understanding of the mux_window_id that it is associated
with.
The GUI frontend maintains an mapping of GUI and mux window so that it
knows when to reuse a GUI window and when to close it.
When connecting to a remote mux, wezterm spawns a temporary connection
progress window. Once connected, workspace reconiliation is triggered
and decides that this window can be used for something else.
As part of workspace reconciliation, this mapping can be adjusted and
the frontend will notify a GUI window that its mux window has changed.
However, that updated mux window was not visible to the mux notification
subscription so the effect was that a variety of notifications were
effectively ignored, including updates from a remote mux when the output
was changed.
To make matters worse, the workspace reconciliation could "double-tap"
window creation and create excess windows only to later realize they
weren't needed and close them out again.
This commit addresses both of these concerns.

The bug here was that each paint call in a window would update
the focus state of its panes to reflect the one that had focus.
However, it didn't account for the actual window focus; it would
just assume that it was focused.
The result was that the perceived focus would alternate between each of
the windows in the wezterm process, and if you were running an
application that had enabled focus tracking, those events could cause a
repaint and drive up the CPU utilization.
This commit addresses that by gating the focus update to only occur
when we have the focus, and for extra safety, avoid generating focus
events at the terminal layer if the new state matches the current state.

I wanted to use the Target::Pipe feature of env_logger so that we could
log to a log file as well as stderr, but it just doesn't work
(https://github.com/env-logger-rs/env_logger/issues/208).
Since we were already composing over the top of the logger in order
to capture data for our ringlog, this commit embraces that and makes
our logger responsible for both stderr and log file printing.
Thankfully, we can use the filter parsing code from env_logger to
avoid having to get too crazy with this.
Logs are stored in the runtime directory and look something like:
/run/user/1000/wezterm/wezterm-gui-log-596324.txt
Logs are collected on all platforms.
There isn't currently a thing to clean up logs.
Go directly to the underlying env_logger crate, as pretty_env_logger
hasn't been updated in some time, and I'd like to be able to redirect
the log output to a file more directly, and that feature is in a newer
version of the env logger than pretty_env_logger was pulling in.
This is definitely in the band-aid category, but two issues have
mentioned the AA in custom block glyphs recently.
This commit adds an `anti_alias_custom_block_glyphs` option that can be
set to false to prevent the custom block glyphs from enabling AA.
I think a better long term fix would be some kind of hinting to avoid
the degenerate AA case, but when I made an enquiry about this class of
issue in tiny skia in the past, the author didn't want to diverge from
skia-compatible behavior, so I think we'd need to find (or build!) an
alternative rasterizer for these path instructions.

`ActivateKeyTable` pushes a new named key table entry onto the stack.
It has some parameters:
* name - required; the name of a entry in `key_tables` that should be
activated.
* timeout_milliseconds - how long the entry should remain active.
When this duration elapses, the entry will pop itself from the
stack. If omitted, the entry will not pop itself due to time.
* one_shot - if true (or omitted; true is default), the entry will pop
itself after one use. If false the entry will not pop itself after use.
But note that if timeout_milliseconds is set then it may pop itself
due to time.
* replace_current - if true, will pop the current stack entry before
activating the current entry. Most useful when combined with some
other one_shot=false activation.
`PopKeyTable` explicitly pops the top of the key table stack.
Most useful with `one_shot=false` activations.
`ClearKeyTableStack` clears the key table stack. Most useful with
`one_shot=false` activations.

Previously, we'd create a clipboard handler associated with a GUI window
and take care to pass that down to the underlying Pane whenever we
spawned a new pane.
For the mux server, instead of being associated with a GUI window, the
clipboard was a special RemoteClipboard that would send a PDU through
to the client that spawned the window.
The bug here was that when that client went away, the clipboard for
that window was broken.
If the mux server was the built-in mux in a gui process this could
leave a tab without working OSC 52 clipboard support.
This commit restructures things so that the Mux is responsible for
assigning a clipboard handler that rephrases the clipboard event
as a MuxNotification.
Both the GUI frontend and the mux server dispatcher already listen
for mux notifications and translate those events into appropriate
operations on the system clipboard or Pdus to send to the client(s).

In https://github.com/wez/wezterm/pull/1779#issuecomment-1082058134 we
discuss a weird case where the tab bar height is computed as 0 and then
gets stuck at 0.
What's happening is that the initial `TabBarState::default()` value has
no items yet, and `build_fancy_tab` generates an area that occupies 0
pixels. This computed element is cached, and then the height from that
is cached.
When `invalidate_fancy_tab` is called, it didn't invalidate the cached
height and the resultant metrics were wonky.
One possible fix for this was to also invalidate the cached height,
but since that height is already stored in the built fancy tab,
we can remove that derived-cached value in favor of just passing
down the value.

This is using the existing attributes on the lines and rendering

alpha blended over the current cell background color.
To support this, the config file will now accept rgba colors specified
as 4 whitespace delimited numeric values. If a value ends with `%` it
is interpreted as a number in the range 0-100. Otherwise, it is
interpreted as a number in the range 0-255. The 4 values are
red, green, blue, alpha.
At this time, only the selection_fg and selection_bg settings accept
alpha values.

Resolves a little bit of the awkward duplication of color types
between some of the crates by factoring them a little bit better.
This is prep for allowing specifying alpha for some colors
in the config.
