rustfmt.toml sets group_imports, imports_granularity and imports_layout,
which are nightly-only; agents formatted with stable rustfmt, which
ignored them. This is a formatting-only pass with `cargo +nightly fmt`.
Test Plan:
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo test --workspace
The GTK mouse handlers now delegate to *_impl methods taking button and
modifier state, so the real controllers and the debug input replay share
one code path. The replay hook gained mouse-move/press/release, click,
drag, scroll, resize, clipboard-set/dump, windows-dump and
window-screenshot steps (replayed presses bypass the focus-transfer
first-click rule since the replay window isn't compositor-focused).
Verified in the real app on Wayland (docs/rewrite/notes/verification-
V3.md): nvim (colors, status line, cursor shapes, alt-screen restore),
htop (rendering, mouse-click column sorting), less (alternate scroll),
tmux (splits, status bar), drag/double/triple-click selection into
PRIMARY, clipboard copy, context menu, scrollback and reflow on resize,
CJK/emoji/ZWJ/nerd-font widths, kitty graphics images and the unsafe
paste confirmation dialog. No product bugs were found.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-apprt-gtk (incl. parse_mouse_steps)
Addresses the partial ports listed in
docs/rewrite/notes/review-completeness-codex.md (details in
docs/rewrite/notes/gaps-X2.md):
- Flatpak: the exit watcher no longer consumes the host command; a
shared FlatpakSignalHandle lets closing a surface still SIGHUP the
host process group.
- Child environment is byte-preserving end to end (ghostty_os::EnvMap
of OsStrings) and Snap paths are filtered like filterSnapPaths.
- argv handling no longer panics on non-UTF-8 arguments.
- URI percent-decoding keeps raw bytes; OSC 7 pwd is passed through
without lossy conversion.
- Keybinding comparison/hashing uses full Unicode case folding from a
table generated from CaseFolding.txt (Unicode 17.0.0).
- Link regexes set Oniguruma's whole-search retry limit through the new
minimal ghostty-onig crate (one SAFETY-commented FFI call).
- OSC 9 NUL-capacity check ordering matches Zig.
- Wayland registry binds/clears globals advertised after startup.
- Custom shaders may pass sampler2D to helper functions (naga adapter).
- +list-themes preview renders OSC 8 links, styled underlines and
follows color-scheme reports.
Also includes the inspector's integration edits in shared files
(renderer state hook, termio VT recording, core/apprt-gtk wiring), X1's
config/input/cli additions for completion generation, and a fix for a
race in the termio backpressure test (it wrote before `stty raw`
applied, so the cooked line discipline dropped bytes past MAX_CANON).
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Ports ZIG/src/inspector (the Dear ImGui terminal inspector) as the
ghostty-inspector crate using dear-imgui-rs + dear-imgui-glow (imgui-rs
lacks a safe docking API): screen, modes, keyboard events, terminal IO
/ VT sequence log with filtering, cell inspector with picking, page
list, renderer and size/font info, with Ghostty's docking layout. The
crate denies unsafe except a single dock.rs module wrapping DockBuilder.
GTK: imgui_widget, inspector_widget and inspector_window classes with
their blueprints replace the former no-op; ctrl+shift+i toggles the
inspector window.
Core: activate/deactivate hooks, key event and mouse recording, and VT
stream recording in termio while an inspector is active, as in Zig;
overlay features reach the renderer through an InspectorHook on the
render state. The debug input replay hook gained inspector-screenshot/
click/scroll steps used to verify all tabs in the real app.
Deviations: font size scales with the display scale instead of Zig's
fixed 16*2; pop-out dock splits apply one frame later; DCS/APC
descriptions are approximated.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-inspector (15 incl. headless full-UI draw)
- cargo test -p ghostty-core --test e2e_inspector (4)
Ports Ghostty's build-data helpers (main_build_data.zig, src/extra/*,
build/mdgen) as the ghostty-build-data binary: bash/zsh/fish
completions, Vim syntax/ftdetect/ftplugin/compiler, Sublime syntax (also
used by bat), terminfo source and ghostty(1)/ghostty(5) markdown. With
the version set to the installed 1.3.1-arch2, all generated files are
byte-identical to the installed Ghostty's.
- `just docs` renders man pages and HTML with pandoc.
- po/: Ghostty's 29 translation catalogs; `just locales` compiles them
into the com.mitchellh.ghostty gettext domain.
- `just install PREFIX FLATPAK SYSTEM_PACKAGE` installs everything incl.
terminfo text/termcap outputs and mirrors GhosttyResources.zig install
modes (Flatpak D-Bus template without systemd; lib/systemd/user for
system packages).
- Build metadata (version, tip/stable channel, commit, build mode) is
derived at build time like build_config.zig; GTK/libadwaita
compile-time versions come from pkg-config instead of constants.
Test Plan:
- cargo run -p ghostty-build-data -- +bash | diff - \
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ghostty (same for zsh/fish/vim)
- just install /tmp/prefix
Adds crates/ghostty-core/tests/e2e_*.rs: 81 tests that drive the real
core Surface, termio, pty and child processes through a fake runtime
(recording apprt actions, in-memory clipboard) with a headless renderer
(ghostty-renderer/src/headless.rs). They cover keys (legacy, DECCKM,
kitty, modifyOtherKeys), keybinding actions and sequences, mouse
selection/reporting/scrolling/links, clipboard incl. OSC 52 and paste
safety, resize, focus, titles/pwd/bell/notifications/progress, child
exit, and IME preedit.
Fixes for issues found by the tests and by the Codex audit
(docs/rewrite/notes/review-core-codex.md, all 9 items):
- replacing a selection with copy-on-select panicked (stale tracked
handles); global new_window no longer inherits a parent; the child
environment uses the runtime's env wholesale so GTK's removals stick;
Flatpak host resources path; locale recovery (ensureLocale) in
apprt-gtk before GTK init and for CLI actions; failed screen-file
opens propagate errors; OSC 52 base64 rules, CSI/ESC binding length
limits and GHOSTTY_LOG parsing match Zig.
- Also includes V2's termio cleanups (tmux viewer wiring in the stream
handler, Pty slave semantics docs, shared cgroup wait loop).
apprt-gtk gains a debug input replay hook (GHOSTTY_DEBUG_INPUT_SCRIPT)
exercising the real GTK key path. With it, the real app was verified on
Wayland: typing and output, new tab, splits, select-all/copy/paste and
font size all work (docs/rewrite/notes/verification-V1.md). Not yet
exercised at GTK level: mouse, real IM-context IME, clipboard dialogs.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (2983 passed)
- cargo test -p ghostty-core --tests (81 e2e tests)
This is the integration step that turns the ported crates into a working
terminal: `cargo run` now opens a GTK window running the user's shell.
ghostty-core ports App.zig, Surface.zig (split into keyboard, mouse,
binding, clipboard and config submodules), surface_mouse.zig and
global.zig, and implements the runtime traits. perform_binding_action
handles every binding action.
Cross-crate integration:
- The core<->runtime traits (CoreApp, CoreSurface, RtApp, RtSurface,
Waker) move from apprt-gtk into ghostty_apprt::runtime_api so the core
stays runtime-agnostic; Scrollbar/RendererHealth stand-ins are replaced
by the real terminal/renderer types.
- termio now uses ghostty_renderer::state::{State, SharedState}; the
renderer calls kitty_update; image-storage-limit is applied at init
and on config change.
- The search thread locks the terminal through a TerminalLock trait so
it can share the render state mutex; termio's Wakeup gained a hook to
wake the renderer thread.
- apprt-gtk: GL proc addresses are resolved through libepoxy's
epoxy_glFoo pointer variables (plain glFoo symbols resolved to null),
default DPI fixed to 96, libadwaita version read without GTK init so
--version works headless.
The root binary dispatches +actions to ghostty-cli (list-fonts,
show-face and new-window are now wired) and otherwise runs the GTK app
with the real core.
Verified at runtime on Wayland and X11: shell prompt and colored output
render, child exit closes the window cleanly. Not yet verified: keyboard
and mouse input, clipboard, IME, tabs and splits (no key injection was
possible in this environment). GHOSTTY_DEBUG_SCREENSHOT=<png> dumps the
renderer's last frame for headless checks.
Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (2890 passed)
- cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
- GSETTINGS_BACKEND=memory GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR=/usr/share/ghostty \
cargo run
Ports ZIG/src/apprt/gtk into ghostty-apprt-gtk: every GObject class
(application, window, tab, split tree, surface + scrolled window,
child-exited banner, search/key-state/resize overlays, command palette,
global shortcuts, all dialogs, config wrapper) as glib subclasses with
the same GType names, properties, signals and template children; GDK
key translation; X11 and Wayland window-protocol helpers (blur, CSD,
quick terminal via gtk4-layer-shell); single-instance D-Bus IPC;
gsettings; cgroup scope creation.
build.rs compiles Ghostty's blueprints with blueprint-compiler and
bundles UI, CSS and icons into a gresource, as Ghostty's build does.
The core is not ported yet, so the crate defines the boundary it needs
in src/core.rs (CoreApp, CoreSurface, RtApp, RtSurface, Waker); the
spec is in docs/rewrite/notes/ghostty-apprt-gtk.md. ghostty-core will
implement these traits (the crate no longer depends on core to avoid a
cycle). examples/demo.rs runs the app with a dummy core that clears the
GLArea; it launches on Wayland without GTK criticals.
Stubs/open items: toggle_visibility, float_window, secure_input and
close_all_windows return false; inspector is a no-op; X11/Wayland
protocol code is untested against real compositors; gtk4-rs doesn't
expose the GLArea framebuffer id, so the renderer must query it.
Also registers ghostty-apprt and ghostty-cli in workspace.dependencies.
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-apprt-gtk (36 tests)
- DEMO_QUIT_AFTER_MS=3000 cargo run -p ghostty-apprt-gtk --example demo
Start of the full Rust rewrite of Ghostty 1.3.1 (reference source in
../ghostty). Sets up a workspace whose crates mirror Ghostty's Zig modules
(vt, unicode, datastruct, os, input, config, terminal, font, renderer,
termio, core, apprt-gtk) so porting work can proceed in parallel per crate.
Also adds:
- docs/rewrite/{ARCHITECTURE,PLAN,STATUS,AGENT_GUIDE}.md: crate map, core
design decisions (safe Rust, slab-based PageList, logical capacity
accounting), phased plan, progress tracker, and porting rules.
- Workspace clippy config relaxing pedantic lints that are pure noise for
low-level terminal code (casts, long functions).
- Shared vt types needed by several work packages up front: kitty
keyboard flags (kitty/key.rs) and the CSI separator bitset (SepList).
Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-vt (3 tests pass)
- cargo clippy -p ghostty-vt --all-targets -- -D warnings
