Enable it if supported by default, let the user override it with
the existing terminal_synchronized ui option.
This should finalize work discussed on #4317
Just validate if line changed or not. This should avoid flickering
on terminals such as the linux console that eagerly redraw on line
deletions. Unfortunately this means drawing will use more data and
might add a bit of latency on slow links.
Fixes#4317Fixes#4320
Add support for a third color in face definition that controls
the underline and a 'c' attribute for curly underline (that takes
precedence over 'u' if both are specified)
Allow empty colors to mean default, so that `,,red+u` means the
same as `default,default,red+u`
Fixes#4138
Display a whitespace in place of the uncovered half of the codepoint.
(I know this is incorrect and we should be considering grapheme clusters
instead of codepoints, but this is a far bigger refactoring and another
can of worms to handle with terminal emulators).
Fixes#4262
Synchronized output does not work well with various terminals
(including the linux console). It should also be unnecessary when
not going through a slow link.
This will eventually be removed if it is not proven to be useful
to some users.
TerminalUI::suspend() is responsible for undoing all Kakoune's modifications to
the terminal state, actually suspending the process, then re-applying all the
modifications after Kakoune wakes back up.
Previously, the "undo" and "reapply" steps for termios settings were both after
the suspend point, so on some platforms they were incorrect when the user
arrived back at the shell prompt.
Now, the termios "undo" step is back before the suspend point, and the undo and
reapply steps should be in exactly reversed order.
Fixes#3488.
In terminals that support it, this sequence causes the terminal to not redraw
*its* output until the application has finished, reducing redraw flickering.
The sequence is defined in:
https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/wikis/synchronized-updates-spec
...and is apparently also supported by kitty and libVTE.
Fixes#3482.
insert blank seems to behave differently between terminals and would
be less efficient because it still has to shift all following characters
(that we will overwrite anyway).
Fixes#3437
Diff against known state and insert/erase relevant lines.
Erase everything first to avoid insertion invalidating lines that
get out of the terminal at bottom.
This should reduce flicker, by avoiding transient states where
info/menu windows are not displayed, and paves the way for proper
diffing of the screen.
