| patrickb | japhb: I think you will find the config wizard of the zsh powerlevel10k theme interesting. | 15:25 | |
| They display a bunch of chars one after the other always asking if it's rendered correctly. Basically homing in on how exactly the terminal is configured. | 15:27 | ||
| Sadly I didn't find a good screen recording of the wizard. | 15:33 | ||

| japhb | That guy is a bit of a character. :-D | 15:51 | |
| Their wizard is interesting. A bit heavy, but interesting. | 15:53 | ||
| I like how they test for the Debian logo. :-) | |||
| That's the kind of thing I (so far, at least) can't autodetect: font configuration. Right now I'm basing the logic for Terminal::Capabilities::Autodetect on the functionality of each terminal type *when the correct fonts are installed*. But Terminal-Tests includes various visual tests, and I've been working my way toward standardizing that into some configuration widgets for Terminal::Widgets. | 15:58 | ||
| So the defaults will be autodetected as they are now, and then the user can tweak as needed. | 15:59 | ||
| Might be useful to be able to offer advice too, though that might be a whole big thing ... | |||

| japhb | Speaking (as we were a week ago) of font autodetection, I've discovered that Ghostty's default font selection is goofy: github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/9161 | 23:17 | |

| japhb | OK, that's support for recursive detection for the "real" terminal underneath screen, tmux, and Zellij, and masking of broken capabilities for each. | 00:23 | |
| Anyone know any other terminal multiplexers that should be supported? | |||
| Also: if anyone uses mosh (MObile SHell, a remote connection maintainer), let me know and I can work with you to get that supported as well. | 00:24 | ||
| patrickb | Very nice! \o/ | 06:59 | |
| Random question: In what way is the terminal underlying a multiplexer relevant for a terminal app? Shouldn't the multiplexer effectively isolate the terminal app entirely from the surrounding terminal? | 15:32 | ||
| Also: What if I'm using tmux in a multi seat session? (Two users with different terminals connect to the same tmux session.) Then there are two different underlying terminals at the same time. | 15:34 | ||
| japhb | The underlying terminal determines capabilities (does it support box drawing, does it support 24-bit color, etc.) | 15:42 | |
| Multiplexers have to interpret all of the escape sequences in both directions and carry a concept of the state of a virtual terminal for each pane, plus the "actual" terminal underneath. | 15:43 | ||
| But each of the multiplexers has sequences it doesn't handle, or handles badly. | |||
| So basically the true capabilities as seen by an app are the intersection of the capabilities of the underlying terminal and the multiplexer on top of it. | 15:44 | ||
| This autodetection is based on the environment variables of the app process, which means that in the multi-head case, the terminal that started the app "wins" the autodetection. | 15:45 | ||
| It is possible to do some of the autodetection via query sequences, but I really have no idea what multiplexers do when you query for something they don't natively understand but that *one* of the terminals in a multi-head setup does understand. | 15:46 | ||
| My guess is "drop it on the floor" | |||
| patrickb | Thanks for the explanation! | 17:41 | |
