7194236985 fix(terminal): prevent fullwidth punctuation overlap and speed OSC mark scanning (#250)
* fix(terminal): stop wide glyphs overlapping after fullwidth punctuation

gpui's apply_force_width_to_layout tells a base glyph from a zero-advance
combining mark by whether the shaped x advanced past half the forced
width, and CJK fullwidth punctuation fails that test (U+FF08 advances
~0.47 em against a 0.6 em half-slot). In a batched wide run the glyph
after such a character was classified as a mark and painted on top of
it. Shape each wide glyph on its own line instead: the first glyph of a
line is unconditionally a base, so the heuristic never misfires.

* perf(terminal): intern wide-segment strings via char_string

Each wide glyph now shapes alone, so its text is a single-char string —
reuse the char_string memo instead of allocating a fresh String per cell
per frame. The interned SharedString is also what keys gpui's line
layout cache, so a CJK-dense repaint allocates nothing.

* perf(terminal): skip MarkScanner's Text state ahead with SIMD memchr

The scanner runs over every batch the client receives, and ordinary
output — where the only byte that matters is ESC — dominates each one.
Skip to the next ESC with memchr instead of stepping per byte, exactly
as tty7-core's OscTokenizer already does: measured on an 8 MB batch of
plausible output, 1.6 GB/s became 8.3 GB/s.

Declare memchr for the root crate — it left with the OSC tokenizer's
move down to tty7-core, and this is the first use since.

* fix(terminal): advance segment_row past each wide glyph

The unbatching change dropped the `col += 2` along with the batching
loop it lived in, so the wide-glyph arm pushed its segment and looped on
the same column forever, growing `segs` until allocation failed — the
6 GiB abort on the Windows CI runner, and a machine-freezing memory
climb under a local `cargo test`.

Why

  • Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
  • Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
  • Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
  • Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:

macOS …-macos-arm64.dmg · …-x86_64.dmg drag into Applications
Windows …-setup.exe · portable ….zip
Linux …-x86_64.AppImage chmod +x and run — x11/wayland libs bundled

What's inside

Input ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history
Window tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · nine themes · IME
Coding agents per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input"
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts

Details for every row: docs/features.md. Keybindings: ⌘ , opens Settings — browse and remap everything, tmux preset included (full list).
