2021-11-27Update date in weltschmerz.1Wolfgang Müller-1/+1
2021-11-27Allow user to turn OSC 7 offJuhani Krekelä-5/+19
Currently weltschmerz prefers working directory information obtained from OSC 7 to that from procfs. If a user has not configured their shell to emit OSC 7 escapes, the OSC 7 path may be out of date. Additionally some users want only their shell to change the terminal's conception of working directory, which is a behaviour better matched by the procfs based working directory detection. This change allows OSC 7 based working directory detection to be turned off. The default remains to check OSC 7 first and then fall back to procfs if there is not valid local path set with OSC 7. The reason for turning OSC 7 off entirely instead of inverting the order procfs and OSC 7 are checked in is that procfs based detection should never fail under normal usage on systems that support it.
2021-11-27Add procfs fallback for figuring out the cwdJuhani Krekelä-12/+8
Opening a terminal or file manager window requires weltschmerz to know the current working directory. At the moment weltschmerz relies on the application being run in the terminal to generate OSC 7 codes that specify the path. However, OSC 7 is not yet widely supported by default, and the VTE terminal emulation layer, which manages the OSC 7 path state for weltschmerz, will overwrite local paths with ones that point to a remote computer if an OSC 7 enabled application is run under ssh. This change adds a fallback that uses the symlink to current working directory located at /proc/<child pid>/cwd. On Linux this method should always work and was how these features were implemented before adoption of OSC 7. The procfs method is used as a fallback instead of the primary method since it can only see the working directory changes of the direct child process.
2021-11-27Add ability to specify additional URI handlersJuhani Krekelä-1/+19
This commit adds a new section, open-with, to the configuration file. The options specified there will be added as "Open with …" menu items in the URI context menu. This is to make it easier to perform other actions on the URI than opening it in the system default browser; a user might for example add another browser, media player, or a script that preprocesses the URI before opening it.
2021-07-12Mention overlay scrolling in the manualWolfgang Müller-1/+13
GTK's decision to make overlay scrolling the default seems to be quite controversial. It also brings with it added complexity in both behaviour and configuration and should therefore be mentioned in the manual.
2021-06-26Add feature to open a new terminalJuhani Krekelä-1/+7
Add ability to open a new weltschmerz terminal, either from context menu or with a key combination. The new terminal is opened in the directory indicated with OSC 7, allowing quickly opening additional terminals while working. Preferably this would launch the user's preferred terminal, as defined in per-user settings, but this is not possible with glib[1]. For this reason the option always launches another weltschmerz. weltschmerz is launched using bare Process.spawn_async() on the name of the program as defined in weltschmerz.vala. We considered using the AppInfo database to retrieve the name of executable instead, but as there is no way to query the database for terminal emulators we would have to go through every single program installed on the computer and try to find one called weltschmerz. As the change would merely replace the requirement of having weltschmerz in PATH with the requirement of having a .desktop file with the name in one of the standardized locations, this would not be worth it.

2021-06-17Add setting for controlling cursor blinkingJuhani Krekelä-1/+17
Currently weltschmerz always uses the global GTK setting for cursor blink, which means that the cursor blink setting is stored separately from the rest of the configuration. Add a setting for overriding it in the config file, so that all the relevant settings can be adjusted in one standardized place. Reviewed-by: Wolfgang Müller <wolf@oriole.systems>

2020-04-13Add Open directory featureWynn Wolf Arbor-0/+8
VTE can leverage the child program's support of OSC 7 to keep track of the current directory. This commit adds support for opening said directory in the default file manager, either by using a shortcut or by activating a new entry in the context menu.
2020-04-13Add OSC 8 hyperlink supportWynn Wolf Arbor-3/+13
This commit adds support for the OSC 8 hyperlink escape sequence [1]. As this is not a mature feature and there seem to be outstanding security concerns [2], the setting that controls whether or not OSC 8 is interpreted is disabled by default. Just like gnome-terminal, weltschmerz will display a tooltip with the canonicalized URI when hovering over a hyperlink.
