Of course, I didn't mean to put you in a spot. We can always continue this later once your thoughts have matured. Sadly I have an extremely full schedule so I dont think I have the badwidth to noodle on this at this stage but if and wh

So if I am to understand your proposal more concretely it is something like implement an escape code that the shell can use to turn off all other escape codes (presumably with some kind of listing mechanism) and then have the shell do that

Yup kitty revolutionized my terminal experience, hence the passion. I am sorry but since you seem to be passionate enough about ghostty to try to shill it in a article about a security vulnerability in it, I don't think you have a leg

You proposal does not address this issue since shells would still need full privileges. This entire class of exploits (query responses with user controlled data leading to shells executing commands) would be removed if shells just moved to

Yes, but this is two well known and understood functions we are talking about, wrapping them is really not that hard.

It's not even slightly tricky, just use self pipe. I have no idea why the maintainer of make rejected it. He says select has different signatures, but select is in POSIX, so unless he is porting to a non POSIX platform, it's irrel

Or run kitty --dump-commands program-whose-output-you-want-to-inspect You can even save the --dump-commands output as edit it and then replay it with kitty --dump-commands program > commands.txt kitty --replay-commands commands.txt

Ah yes, in that case there no terminals that implement it indeed. Though there are a few that implement changing window size via escape code, though in units of cells not pixels. Generally speaking I dont see how applications can use tcsetw

Lots of modern terminals support ws_xpixel and ws_ypixel. Hell even the venerable xterm supports it. It is used primarily for displaying raster graphics in modern terminals, see for example: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty&#

And we are all delighted to be spared from your personality in the kitty community. Enjoy your day as well.

Then stick to commenting on posts about such software instead of trying to mislead people about software you know nothing about.

Sigh. Go read the docs: remote control has both a socket only mode, and has the ability to allow tty connections only with a password: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/#opt-kitty.allow_remote... Furthermore, r

Nope, native applications are not ever going to get the ridiculous level of sandboxing demonstrated by the restrictions on accessing the clipboard in the article. Nor are they ever going to be prevented from accessing the file system as web

by aumerle 2y ago
Again, no non mobile OS prevents native applications from using the clipboard as it should be used. And none of them show any signs of changing that.

And that's just what he did until someone showed up to do the grunt work of porting to Python 3, at which point he co-operated with that person and helped make the port happen, just as he said he would. I suggest a more facts based nar

Ah, you are back with your "the kitty protocol doesn't support my pet feature that nothing else supports, aka left and right distinct modifier states" so it must be bad. I was wondering when you would show up again.

If you mean mobile OSes sure, I can agree with you they are becoming worse with time. OSes for real computers, not so much.

I dont run a single native application across five operating systems that requires a popup nag to access the clipboard or that is unable to put any data other than text, html and PNG on the clipboard.

This article is a perfect illustration of why Webapps will never be as good as native ones. Webapps are always "untrusted" code so they are arbitrarily and artificially restricted from accessing resources on your local machine.

Now, the OP has to remember, df -h -x tmpfs instead of df -h. The proper solution for this is to not have commands that are both meant for interactive and script usage. Then the defaults for their output can be changed over time to suit the

The end of the article says the bug isn't fixed, so presumably, the root cause identification was wrong?

Let's discuss the parts you left out in your carefully constructed attempts at character assassination. 1) kitty has a template for issue reporting that the person that reported that issue didn't use, which means it isn't a c

OK so you are not lying, you are just wrong. Now that you have reduced the scope of your personal attack from he doesn't like settings to he doesn't agree with me about one thing, perhaps you should exercise your new found honesty

You shouldn't believe things you read in hacker news comments. saurik is lying, probably because he once requested some feature that the kitty maintainer didnt like and refused with good reasons, which made saurik want to curl up into

Most decent linux terminals let you configure this. For example in kitty: map ctrl+c copy_or_interrupt https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/actions/#action-copy_or_inte...

timing footclient -e true is not actually measuring what you think its measuring. It's measuring the time it takes to open a socket and write a few bytes to it. Not the time it takes to run true in a new window and then close it. And j

Sure I can patch any software to do anything I want. Which is what an extension is doing. I can patch any software I want to treat the A key as a modifier too. Still doesnt make it a good idea. And my point remains, Chrome, unpatched, does

Name one windows application used by more than 10 people that supports independent left and right modifier keys used as modifiers . One application. Just because the windows API for some inexplicable reason exposes those states. Meanwhile

I did and I comprehended that you want left and right modifiers to be different. The rest of the world disagrees with you. That does not give you the license to go around maligning other people's work.
