bakkeby 47370640e4 Partially add back in "support REP (repeat) escape sequence" (aa0631)
Add the functionality back in for xterm compatibility, but do not expose the
capability in st.info (yet).

Some notes:

It was reverted because it caused some issues with ncurses in some
configurations, namely when using BSD padding (--enable-bsdpad, BSD_TPUTS) in
ncurses it caused issues with repeating digits.

A fix has been upstreamed in ncurses since snapshot 20200523. The fix is also
backported to OpenBSD -current.

bakkeby a095e46895 Revert "support REP (repeat) escape sequence"
This reverts commit e8392b282c.

There is currently a bug in older ncurses versions (like on OpenBSD) where a
fix for a bug with REP is not backported yet. Most likely in tty/tty_update.c:

Noticed while using lynx (which uses ncurses/curses).
To reproduce using lynx: echo "Z0000000" | lynx -stdin

or using the program:

int
main(void)
{
	WINDOW *win;
	win = initscr();

	printw("Z0000000");

	refresh();

	sleep(5);

	return 0;
}

This prints "ZZZZZZZ" (incorrectly).

bakkeby eb56c17d51 support REP (repeat) escape sequence
The sequence \e[Nb prints the last printed char N (more) times if it's
printable, and it's ignored after newline or other control chars.

This is Ecma-048/ANSI-X3.6 sequence and not DEC VT. It's supported by
xterm, and ncurses uses it when possible, e.g. when TERM is xterm* (and
with this commit also st*).

xterm supports only codepoints<=255, possibly due to internal limits.
We support any value/codepoint which was placed in a cell.

To test:
- tput rep 65 4 -> prints 'AAAA'
- printf "\342\225\246\033[4b" -> prints U+2566 1+4 times.

bakkeby 0c41364e3d optimize column width calculation and utf-8 encode for ASCII
In particular on OpenBSD and on glibc wcwidth() is quite expensive.
On musl there is little difference.

bakkeby 6bf5eb8a38 fix for incorrect (partial) written sequences when libc wcwidth() == -1
Fix an issue with incorrect (partial) written sequences when libc wcwidth() ==
-1. The sequence is updated to on wcwidth(u) == -1:

	c = "\357\277\275"

but len isn't.

A way to reproduce in practise:

* st -o dump.txt
* In the terminal: printf '\xcd\xb8'
- This is codepoint 888, on OpenBSD it reports wcwidth() == -1.
- Quit the terminal.
- Look in dump.txt (partial written sequence of "UTF_INVALID").

This was introduced in:

"	commit 11625c7166
	Author: czarkoff@gmail.com <czarkoff@gmail.com>
	Date:   Tue Oct 28 12:55:28 2014 +0100

	    Replace character with U+FFFD if wcwidth() is -1

	    Helpful when new Unicode codepoints are not recognized by libc."

Change:

Remove setting the sequence. If this happens to break something, another
solution could be setting len = 3 for the sequence.

bakkeby 5c7d8ab1ad auto-sync: draw on idle to avoid flicker/tearing
st could easily tear/flicker with animation or other unattended
output. This commit eliminates most of the tear/flicker.

Before this commit, the display timing had two "modes":

- Interactively, st was waiting fixed `1000/xfps` ms after forwarding
  the kb/mouse event to the application and before drawing.

- Unattended, and specifically with animations, the draw frequency was
  throttled to `actionfps`. Animation at a higher rate would throttle
  and likely tear, and at lower rates it was tearing big frames
  (specifically, when one `read` didn't get a full "frame").

The interactive behavior was decent, but it was impossible to get good
unattended-draw behavior even with carefully chosen configuration.

This commit changes the behavior such that it draws on idle instead of
using fixed latency/frequency. This means that it tries to draw only
when it's very likely that the application has completed its output
(or after some duration without idle), so it mostly succeeds to avoid
tear, flicker, and partial drawing.

The config values minlatency/maxlatency replace xfps/actionfps and
define the range which the algorithm is allowed to wait from the
initial draw-trigger until the actual draw. The range enables the
flexibility to choose when to draw - when least likely to flicker.

It also unifies the interactive and unattended behavior and config
values, which makes the code simpler as well - without sacrificing
latency during interactive use, because typically interactively idle
arrives very quickly, so the wait is typically minlatency.

While it only slighly improves interactive behavior, for animations
and other unattended-drawing it improves greatly, as it effectively
adapts to any [animation] output rate without tearing, throttling,
redundant drawing, or unnecessary delays (sounds impossible, but it
works).

bakkeby f34aef7e07 [PATCH] replace exit(3) by _exit(2) in signal handler sigchld() 2020-04-30 09:06:54 +02:00
bakkeby b71d9f6669 [st][PATCH] externalpipe and externalpipein
This patch must be applied on the externalpipe patch. It adds the
function externalpipein to redirect the standard output of the external
command to the slave size of the pty, that is, as if the external
program had been manually executed on the terminal. It can be used to
send desired escape sequences to the terminal with a shortcut.

I created the patch to make use of the dynamic-colors program
(https://github.com/sos4nt/dynamic-colors) that uses the OSC escape
sequences to change the colors of the terminal. The program keeps the
last colorscheme selected in a file, so you can use it to select the
colorscheme for all newly opened terminals from that moment on. If you
want to change the color of the background and foreground independently
from the palette, you have to merge in the patch for the OSC escape
sequences 10, 11, and 12.

This patch includes the changes of the externalpipe sigaction patch to
prevent reseting the signal handler for SIGCHLD when the proces of the
external command exits.

bakkeby 5ad2174cf9 [st][PATCH] externalpipe sigaction
This patch should be applied on top of the externalpipe patch. It
prevents the reset of the signal handler set on SIGCHILD, when the
forked process that executes the external process exits. I opted for
switching from signal to sigaction instead of rearming the signal in the
sigchld function, just because it is the recommended function (although I
tried both ways and both worked).

bakkeby 24c9ea1e51 [st][PATCH] xclearwin clears the window
When an OCS sequence was used to change the bg color, the borders where
dirty. This simple patch just clears the window before the redraw of the
terminal when the bg color has been changed. This is apparently enough
and seams to be very smooth. There was a TODO comment for it on the st.c
file, which I removed.

bakkeby fe6e6324d7 ttyread: test for EOF while reading tty
When a read operation returns 0 then it means that we arrived to the end of the
file, and new reads will return 0 unless you do some other operation such as
lseek(). This case happens with USB-232 adapters when they are unplugged.

bakkeby 2090981be3 Add support for scroll(1)
Scroll is a program that stores all the lines of its child and be used in st as
a way of implementing scrollback.

This solution is much better than implementing the scrollback in st itself
because having a different program allows to use it in any other program
without doing modifications to those programs.
