Multi-monitor support: only use active monitor with maximize and full-screen commands

4

I have two monitors. When I maximize a window or make it full-screen, it occupies both monitors (i.e. the entire virtual desktop/screen). This is way too big, so I'd prefer...

Alt-Drag triggers Alt menu in Firefox and Wine apps

When I use Alt-mouse to move/resize a window with Blackbox, the menu activates in certain applications. For example, with Firefox, the menu is normally invisible. Pressing Alt shows the menu...

Override the color translation heuristic by detecting terminal colors with OSC codes

1

winpty currently uses a color translation heuristic to translate console colors into terminal colors. It's described in detail [here](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/blob/efb10c4fcf83366b106b7f763b0716f51421b93e/agent/Terminal.cc#L111). Basically, the console always use LtGray-on-Black ([overriding the default](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/blob/efb10c4fcf83366b106b7f763b0716f51421b93e/agent/Agent.cc#L93)), even if...

Reduce polling to reduce CPU/power consumption

Currently, winpty scans the console for changes about once every 25ms or so. It does this scanning even when no output is appearing (e.g. the default situation, most of the...

translateException can throw std::bad_alloc

1

This call to `utf8FromWide` from `translateException` can throw `std::bad_alloc`: ``` trace("libwinpty error: code=%u msg='%s'", static_cast(ret->code), utf8FromWide(winpty_error_msg(ret)).c_str()); ``` Maybe I originally used a `%ls` in the printf format string, but the...

From my comment, https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/issues/105#issuecomment-304430216: > The 0xFFFF invalid character in patterns 4 and 8 is weird; I'm guessing it's there for backwards compatibility? winpty doesn't currently handle it, but I...

Recent Windows 10 ReadConsoleOutput change breaks non-ASCII text

12

A change to the console in new versions of Windows 10 (e.g. 15048, but *not* 15014), breaks winpty by effectively shifting cells at the start of a line to the...

Windows Nano Server is a new version of Windows under development that has no GUI (among other things). It'd be interesting to see whether winpty does (or should) work on...
