Previously we'd return the Url string. Now we provide a Url
object that provides access to the various elements of the Url.
This will cause slightly breakage for folks that were treating
it as a string in their status event handlers, for example.
The docs have been updated to show how to run with both this
new Url object and also continue to run on older versions of
wezterm.
They now also show how to manually percent decode the url
for older versions of wezterm.

This gets the matching time down below 110+ms to around 70ms
in release mode, which may not sound like a huge amount, but 100ms
is on the cusp of perceivable latency, so getting below that is
desirable.
Neither of these understand image protocols, and both are
an additional processing layer between the application and
wezterm.
This commit detects and wraps OSC sequences in tmux's passthru
sequence so that the data is passed on to wezterm rather than
elided from the data stream.
For image protocols in both tmux and conpty, work a little
smarter and explicitly move the cursor position to the same
location that wezterm would move it to. That prevents the
display from being as mangled by tmux/conpty due to a diverging
understanding of the cursor position.
The logic isn't perfect, and can result in the x-coordinate
being incorrect, and this won't work with the new --position
argument either in its current state, without adding a lot
of complexity to deal with scrolling and relative and absolute
positioning handling.
To facilitate that, a new termwiz Terminal trait method has
been added to probe the terminal name, version, cell and pixel
dimensions. It's not pretty.

This commit teaches the config about SerialDomains, and the mux
layer about constructing a SerialDomain, then changes the GUI
layer to use those pieces to set up `wezterm serial`.
A new `serial_ports` config is added, and the GUI layer knows how
to apply it to the set of domains in the mux.
The result of this is that you can now define a domain for each
serial port and spawn a serial connection into a new tab or window
in your running wezterm gui instance.
The upstream open crate keeps making stuff async/blocking/not-working on
windows, so this is a step towards removing this dependency.

This allows the decoder thread to live only long enough
to decode the full set of frames; we can then store the
leases in memory and pull them in only when there is
a cache miss.

Adopt the new blob lease layer to storing and referencing
image files.
This reduces the number of open files needed when
images are being displayed in the terminal.

Continuing from the previous commit, this shifts:
* In-memory data -> temporary file
* Image decoding -> background thread
The background thread asynchronously decodes frames and
sends them to the render thread via a bounded channel.
While decoding frames, it writes them, uncompressed, to
a scratch file so that when the animation loops, it is
a very cheap operation to rewind and pull that data
from the file, without having to burn CPU to re-decode
the data from the start.
Memory usage is bounded to 4 uncompressed frames while
decoding, then 3 uncompressed frames (triple buffered)
while looping over the rest.
However, disk usage is N uncompressed frames.
refs: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/3263
This makes decoding animation frames a lazy operation, but it
comes at the cost of needing to re-decode the image from scratch
when it loops, because the image crate doesn't provide a way
to rewind its frame iterator.
That initial decode can have a significant time cost; a small
webp file consistently takes 150ms to decode, which is too
much to do inline in the render thread.
Next steps will be to move that cost off the render thread.
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.

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.
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.
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.
