replace termion with crossterm and make colors configurable

[dmfay]

This started because I wanted to customize colors, and turned into something of a rabbit hole. To summarize:

• dynamically setting colors in termion is awkward (cf broot)
• the relevant feature request is two years old with minimal activity
• in the mean time, broot has replaced termion with crossterm, which is not quite a drop-in API replacement, improves on it in the colors department, and opens up the possibility of supporting Windows since termion is *nix-only

Outside the terminal code, mcfly now reads colors and other settings from ~/.mcfly/mcfly.toml, defaulting to the original styling and config if the file doesn't exist. Environment variables are still supported and there's a self-describing sample config file. I don't have a Windows machine to test compatibility, so there are likely as not more obstacles, but it's a big step closer.

~I did remove MCFLY_LIGHT entirely, so this conflicts with #151 (sorry!). If we want multiple colorschemes, figment's switchable profiles may be useful.~

It also conflicts with #149, but that I can rebase.

Thanks @dmfay for working on this! Since some users use MCFLY_LIGHT, how easy do you think it would be to add it for backwards compatability?

Also, please note that my wife and I just had our first child this week and so I will be slow to reply for a while...

[dmfay]

Congratulations to both of you!

Detecting MCFLY_LIGHT and supplying alternate default colors turned out to be trivial, and would clear the way for #151 too -- updated.

[cantino]

Nice!

[dmfay]

Here's the rebase, for whenever's convenient! This version also prints a full-width cursor, but enough else changed over time in interface.rs that squashing was the better part of valor.

[cantino]

Hey @dmfay, are you up for another rebase? I think the only change is moving ctrl-d to delete a character instead of exit from the interface.

I'm getting this error when I try to build this PR:

Do we have to use experimental features now?

[dmfay]

Updated! As for experimental features, you might need to update Rust? I'm not seeing that issue with 1.53 (and track_caller has made it to stable).

[cantino]

I updated rust and it builds successfully! However, now I'm getting:

thread 'main' panicked at 'McFly error: failed to read input IoError(Custom { kind: Other, error: "Failed to initialize input reader" })', src/interface.rs:340:43

When I try to launch mcfly.

[dmfay]

I can replicate that with osx + zsh + ctrl-r -- in linux it's fine, in bash it's fine, running mcfly search works. Nothing jumps out at me in the zsh scripting though, and the full backtrace I cleaned up doesn't offer any obvious leads either.

https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/issues/500 may be relevant -- here's another crossterm-using project with an osx-only problem. I disabled the terminfo changes and tty pipe in mcfly-history-widget and that didn't avert a panic, though.

[bahlo]

Hey, I just want to say I'd love to have configurable colors, this looks broken in Unikitty Light as well. 👍 I tried your branch @dmfay and I get the same results.

[MitMaro]

👋🏼 Another Crossterm user here, that just happened to have one of my projects linked in a comment. Crossterm just pushed a fix for https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/issues/500, so it's possible that the problem blocking this PR has been addressed.

I haven't tried the fix in my project yet, but figured a ping here wouldn't hurt.
