Add --allow-fallback option to the map command that controls shifted
and ascii (alternate_key) fallback for individual key mappings.
For non-Latin keyboard layouts, when the current layout key is
non-ascii (codepoint > 127 and < 0xE000), the alternate_key from
the base layout is used for matching if the mapping opts in via
--allow-fallback=shifted,ascii.
Default kitty bindings use --allow-fallback=shifted,ascii so they
work out of the box with non-Latin layouts. User custom mappings
default to --allow-fallback=shifted (preserving existing shifted_key
behavior without ascii fallback).
--allow-fallback=none disables all fallback for a mapping.
Python side: parse_options_for_map() in options/utils.py handles flag
parsing, ShortcutMapping uses it in __init__. get_shortcut() filters
candidates by per-mapping allow_fallback.
Go side: ParseMap() handles --allow-fallback, KeyAction stores
AllowFallback, ShortcutTracker.Match passes it to matching.
MatchesParsedShortcut defaults to shifted,ascii for hardcoded shortcuts.
Migrated kittens (themes, command_palette, diff, choose_files) to
use ShortcutTracker with configurable map entries.
Tests added for Python (5 test methods) and Go (ParseMap + key matching).
Follow PEP 0394 and use /usr/bin/env python so that the python in the
users venv is respected. Not that the kitty python files are meant to be
executed standalone anyway, but, whatever.
Fixes#6810
- one configuration option: ignore_paths
- use shlex to parse option to support whitespace and in-line comments
- change option type to Tuple[str, ...]
- remove ignored directories from dirnames to prevent scanning
Add more text roles and links.
Add an example that broadcasts only to other windows in the current tab.
Initial capitalization of the key names in the kbd text role.
Add Python type hints for custom kittens.
Note about hyperlink support for ls on macOS.
Add description text for show_key.
Now the time for importing the kitty.config module has been halved, from
16ms from 32ms on my machine. Also, the new architecture will eventually
allow for auto generating a bunch of python-to-C boilerplate code.
