![]() This PR reapplies #27402 which was reverted in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/30544 due to the issue @ConradIrwin reported in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/27402#issuecomment-2871745132. The reported issue is already present on main but not visible, see https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/27402#issuecomment-2872546903 for more context and reproduction steps. The fix here was to move the padding for the hover popover up to the parent container. This does not fix the underlying problem but serves as workaround without any disadvantages until a better solution is found. I would currently guess that the underlying issue might be related to some rem-size calculations for small font sizes or something similar (e.g. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/22732 could possibly be somewhat related). Notably, the fix here does not cause any difference in layouting (the following screenshots are actually distinct images), yet fixes the problem at hand. ### Default font size (`15px`) | `main` | This PR | | --- | --- | |  | | ### Smaller font size (`12px`) | `main` | This PR | | --- | --- | |  |  | Furthermore, for the second scenario, the popover would be scrollable on main. As there is no scrollbar in the second image for this PR, this no longer happens with this branch. Release Notes: - N/A |

Design notes:
This crate is split into two conceptual halves:
- The terminal.rs file and the src/mappings/ folder, these contain the code for interacting with Alacritty and maintaining the pty event loop. Some behavior in this file is constrained by terminal protocols and standards. The Zed init function is also placed here.
- Everything else. These other files integrate the
Terminal
struct created in terminal.rs into the rest of GPUI. The main entry point for GPUI is the terminal_view.rs file and the modal.rs file.
ttys are created externally, and so can fail in unexpected ways. However, GPUI currently does not have an API for models than can fail to instantiate. TerminalBuilder
solves this by using Rust's type system to split tty instantiation into a 2 step process: first attempt to create the file handles with TerminalBuilder::new()
, check the result, then call TerminalBuilder::subscribe(cx)
from within a model context.
The TerminalView struct abstracts over failed and successful terminals, passing focus through to the associated view and allowing clients to build a terminal without worrying about errors.
#Input
There are currently many distinct paths for getting keystrokes to the terminal:
-
Terminal specific characters and bindings. Things like ctrl-a mapping to ASCII control character 1, ANSI escape codes associated with the function keys, etc. These are caught with a raw key-down handler in the element and are processed immediately. This is done with the
try_keystroke()
method on Terminal -
GPU Action handlers. GPUI clobbers a few vital keys by adding bindings to them in the global context. These keys are synthesized and then dispatched through the same
try_keystroke()
API as the above mappings -
IME text. When the special character mappings fail, we pass the keystroke back to GPUI to hand it to the IME system. This comes back to us in the
View::replace_text_in_range()
method, and we then send that to the terminal directly, bypassingtry_keystroke()
. -
Pasted text has a separate pathway.
Generally, there's a distinction between 'keystrokes that need to be mapped' and 'strings which need to be written'. I've attempted to unify these under the '.try_keystroke()' API and the .input()
API (which try_keystroke uses) so we have consistent input handling across the terminal
