tofoot.ini
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/386).tweak.overflowing-glyphs
option, which can be enabled to fix rendering issues with glyphs of any width that appear cut-off (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/592).
Changed
- Non-empty lines are now considered to have a hard linebreak, unless an actual word-wrap is inserted.
- Setting
DECSDM
now disables sixel scrolling, while resetting it enables scrolling (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/631).
Removed
- The
tweak.allow-overflowing-double-width-glyphs
andtweak.pua-double-width
options (which have been superseded bytweak.overflowing-glyphs
).
Fixed
- FD exhaustion when repeatedly entering/exiting URL mode with many URLs.
- Double free of URL while removing duplicated and/or overlapping URLs in URL mode (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/627).
- Crash when an unclosed OSC-8 URL ran into un-allocated scrollback rows.
- Some box-drawing characters were rendered incorrectly on big-endian architectures.
- Crash when resizing the window to the smallest possible size while scrollback search is active.
- Scrollback indicator being incorrectly rendered when window size is very small.
- Reduced memory usage in URL mode.
- Crash when the
E3
escape (\E[3J
) was executed, and there was a selection, or sixel image, in the scrollback (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/633).

capabilities infoot
andfoot-direct
terminfo entries. This should make 24-bit RGB colors work in tmux and neovim, without the need for config hacks or detection heuristics (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/615).
Changed
- Grapheme cluster width is now limited to two cells by default. This
may cause cursor synchronization issues with many applications. You
can set

to revert to the behavior in foot-1.8.0.
Fixed
- Grapheme cluster state being reset between codepoints.
- Regression: custom URL key bindings not working (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/614).

Grapheme shaping
This release adds experimental, opt-in support for grapheme cluster segmentation and grapheme shaping.
(note: several of the examples below may not render correctly in your browser, viewer or editor).
Grapheme cluster segmentation is the art of splitting up text into grapheme clusters, where a cluster may consist of more than one Unicode codepoint. For example, 🙂 is a single codepoint, while 👩🏽🚀 consists of 4 codepoints (Woman + Medium skin tone + Zero width joiner + Rocket). The goal is to cluster codepoints belonging to the same grapheme in the same cell in the terminal.
Previous versions of foot implemented a simple grapheme cluster segmentation technique that only handled zero-width codepoints. This allowed us to cluster combining characters, like q́ (q + COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT).
Once we have a grapheme cluster, we need to shape it.
Combining characters are simple: they are typically rendered as multiple glyphs layered on top of each other. This is why previous versions of foot got away with it without any actual text shaping support.
Beyond that, support from the font library is needed. Foot now depends on fcft-2.4, which added support for grapheme and text shaping. When rendering a cell, we ask the font library: give us the glyph(s) for this sequence of codepoints.
Fancy emoji sequences aside, using libutf8proc for grapheme cluster segmentation means improved correctness.
For full support, the following is required:
- fcft compiled with HarfBuzz support
- foot compiled with libutf8proc support
tweak.grapheme-shaping=yes
infoot.ini
If tweak.grapheme-shaping
has not been enabled, foot will
neither use libutf8proc to do grapheme cluster segmentation, nor will
it use fcft’s grapheme shaping capabilities to shape combining
characters.
This feature is experimental mostly due to the “wcwidth” problem; how many cells should foot allocate for a grapheme cluster? While the answer may seem simple, the problem is that, whatever the answer is, the client application must come up with the same answer. Otherwise we get cursor synchronization issues.
In this release, foot simply adds together the wcwidth()
of all
codepoints in the grapheme cluster. This is equivalent to running
wcswidth()
on the entire cluster. This is likely to change in the
future.
Finally, note that grapheme shaping is not the same thing as text (or text run) shaping. In this version, foot only shapes individual graphemes, not entire text runs. That means e.g. ligatures are not supported.
Added
- Support for DECSET/DECRST 2026, as an alternative to the existing "synchronized updates" DCS sequences (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/459).

Changed
- fcft: required version bumped from 2.3.x to 2.4.x.
generate-alt-random-writes.py --sixel
: width and height of emitted sixels has been adjusted.- Concealed text (
\E[8m
) is now revealed when highlighted. - The background color of highlighted text is now adjusted, when the foreground and background colors are the same, making the highlighted text legible (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/455).
cursor.style=bar
tocursor.style=beam
.bar
remains a recognized value, but will eventually be deprecated, and removed.- Point values in
line-height
,letter-spacing
,horizontal-letter-offset
andvertical-letter-offset
are now rounded, not truncated, when translated to pixel values. - Foot’s exit code is now -26/230 when foot itself failed to launch (due to invalid command line options, client application/shell not found etc). Footclient’s exit code is -36/220 when it itself fails to launch (e.g. bad command line option) and -26/230 when the foot server failed to instantiate a new window (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/466).
- Background alpha no longer applied to palette or RGB colors that matches the background color.
- Improved performance on compositors that does not release shm buffers immediately, e.g. KWin (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/478).

instead of-a foot -i foot ...
. scrollback-*
+pipe-scrollback
key bindings are now passed through to the client application when the alt screen is active (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/573).- Reverse video (
\E[?5h
) now only swaps the default foreground and background colors. Cells with explicit foreground and/or background colors remain unchanged. - Tabs (
\t
) are now preserved when the window is resized, and when copying text (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/508). - Writing a sixel on top of another sixel no longer erases the first sixel, but the two are instead blended (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/562).
- Running foot without a configuration file is no longer an error; it has been demoted to a warning, and is no longer presented as a notification in the terminal window, but only logged on stderr.

- Rare occurrences where the window did not close when the shell exited. Only seen on FreeBSD (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/534)
- Foot process(es) sometimes remaining, using 100% CPU, when closing multiple foot windows at the same time (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/542).
- Regression where

Fixed
- Logic that repairs invalid key bindings ended up breaking valid key bindings instead (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/407).
- Custom
line-height
settings now scale when increasing or decreasing the font size at run-time. - Newlines sometimes incorrectly inserted into copied text (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/410).
- Crash when compositor send

- URL labels, scrollback search box or scrollback position indicator sometimes not showing up, caused by invalidly sized surface buffers when output scaling was enabled (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/409).
- Empty sixels resulted in non-empty images.
1.7.0
Added
- The
pad
option now accepts an optional third argument,center
(e.g.pad=5x5 center
), causing the grid to be centered in the window, with equal amount of padding of the left/right and top/bottom side (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/273). line-height

Changed
- The fcft and tllist library subprojects are now handled via Meson wrap files instead of needing to be manually cloned.
- Box drawing characters are now rendered by foot, instead of using font glyphs (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/198)
- Double- or triple clicking then dragging now extends the selection word- or line-wise (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/267).
- The line thickness of box drawing characters now depend on the font size (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/281).
- Extending a word/line-wise selection now uses the original selection mode instead of switching to character-wise.
- While doing an interactive resize of a foot window, foot now
requires 100ms of idle time (where the window size does not change)
before sending the new dimensions to the client application. The
timing can be tweaked, or completely disabled, by setting
resize-delay-ms
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/301). CSI 13 ; 2 t
now reports (0,0).- Key binding matching logic; key combinations like
Control+Shift+C
must now be written as eitherControl+C
orControl+Shift+c
, the latter being the preferred variant. (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/376) - Consumed modifiers are no longer sent to the client application (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/376).
- The minimum version requirement for the libxkbcommon dependency is now 1.0.0.
- Empty pixel rows at the bottom of a sixel is now trimmed.
- Sixels with DCS parameter
P2=0|2
now use the current ANSI background color for empty pixels instead of the default background color (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/391). - Sixel decoding optimized; up to 100% faster in some cases.
- Reported sixel “max geometry” from current window size, to the configured maximum size (defaulting to 10000x10000).
Removed
- The
-g,--geometry
command-line option (which had been deprecated and superseded by-w,--window-size-pixels
since 1.5.0).
Fixed
- Some mouse bindings (primary paste, for example) did not require
shift
to be pressed while used in a mouse grabbing application. This meant the mouse event was never seen by the application. - Terminals spawned with
ctrl
+shift
+n
not terminating when exiting shell (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/366). - Default value of
-t,--term
in--help
output when foot was built without terminfo support. - Drain PTY when the client application terminates.

Added
- Completions for fish shell (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/11)
- FreeBSD support (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/238).
- IME popup location support: foot now sends the location of the cursor so any popup can be displayed near the text that is being typed.
Changed
- Trailing comments in
foot.ini
must now be preceded by a space or tab (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/270) - The scrollback search box no longer accepts non-printable characters.
- Non-formatting C0 control characters,
BS

andDEL
are now stripped from pasted text.
Fixed
- Exit when the client application terminates, not when the TTY file descriptor is closed.
- Crash on compositors not implementing the text input interface (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/259).
- Erased, overflowing glyphs (when
tweak.allow-overflowing-double-width-glyphs=yes
- the default) not properly erasing the cell overflowed into. word-delimiters
option ignores#
and subsequent characters (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/270)- Combining characters not being rendered when composed with colored bitmap glyphs (i.e. colored emojis).
- Pasting URIs from the clipboard when the source has not newline-terminated the last URI (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/291).
- Sixel “current geometry” query response not being bounded by the
current window dimensions (fixes
lsix
output) - Crash on keyboard input when repeat rate was zero (i.e. no repeat).
- Wrong button encoding of mouse buttons 6 and 7 in mouse events.
- Scrollback search not matching composed characters.
- High CPU usage when holding down e.g. arrow keys while in scrollback search mode.

For packagers
Starting with this release, foot can be PGO:d (compiled using profile guided optimizations) without a running Wayland session. This means foot can be PGO:d in e.g. sandboxed build scripts. See INSTALL.md.
Added
- IME support. This is compile-time optional, see INSTALL.md (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/134).
DECSET

. The default,auto
, sizes fonts using the monitor’s DPI when output scaling has been disabled. If output scaling has been enabled, fonts are sized using the scaling factor. DPI-only font sizing can be forced by settingdpi-aware=yes
. Settingdpi-aware=no
forces font sizing to be based on the scaling factor. (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/206).- Implement reverse auto-wrap (auto_left_margin, bw, in
terminfo). This mode can be enabled/disabled with
CSI ? 45 h

- Sixel default maximum size is now 10000x10000 instead of the current window size.
- Graphical glitches/flashes when resizing the window while running a fullscreen application, i.e. the 'alt' screen (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/221).
- Cursor will now blink if either
CSI ? 12 h
orCSI Ps SP q
has been used to enable blinking. cursor.blink infoot.ini
controls the default state ofCSI Ps SP q
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/218). - The sub-parameter versions of the SGR RGB color escapes (e.g
\E[38:2...m
) can now be used without the color space ID parameter. - SGR 21 no longer disables bold. According to ECMA-48, SGR 21 is ”double underline”. Foot does not (yet) implement that, but that’s no reason to implement a non-standard behavior.
DECRQM
now returns actual state of the requested mode, instead of always returning2
.
Removed
- Support for loading configuration from
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/footrc
. scrollback
option fromfoot.ini
.geometry
fromfoot.ini
.- Key binding action
scrollback-up
andscrollback-down
.
Fixed
- Error when re-assigning a default key binding (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/233).
\E[s
+\E[u
(save/restore cursor) now saves and restores attributes and charset configuration, just like\E7
+\E8
.- Report mouse motion events to the client application also while dragging the cursor outside the grid.
- Parsing of the sub-parameter versions of indexed SGR color escapes
(e.g.
\E[38:5...m
) - Frames occasionally being rendered while application synchronized updates is in effect.
- Handling of failures to parse the font specification string.
- Extra private/intermediate characters in escape sequences not being ignored.

1.5.4
Changed
- Num Lock by default overrides the keypad mode. See foot.ini(5)::KEYPAD, or README.md for details (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/194).
- Single-width characters with double-width glyphs are now allowed to overflow into neighboring cells by default. Set tweak.allow-overflowing-double-width-glyphs to ‘no’ to disable this.
Fixed
- Resize very slow when window is hidden (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/190).
- Key mappings for key combinations with
shift
+tab
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/210). - Key mappings for key combinations with
alt
+return
. footclient
-m
(--maximized
) flag being ignored.- Crash with explicitly sized sixels with a height less than 6 pixels.
- Key mappings for
esc
with modifiers.
Contributors
1.5.3
Fixed
- Crash when libxkbcommon cannot find a suitable libX11 compose file. Note that foot will run, but without support for dead keys. (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/170).
- Restored window size when window is un-tiled.
- XCursor shape in CSD corners when window is tiled.
- Error handling when processing keyboard input (maybe https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/171).
- Compilation error "overflow in conversion from long 'unsigned int'
to 'int' changes value... " seen on platforms where the
request
argument inioctl(3)
is anint
(for example: linux/ppc64). - Crash when using the mouse in alternate scroll mode in an unfocused window (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/179).
- Character dropped from selection when "right-click-hold"-extending a selection (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/180).
1.5.2
Fixed
- Regression: middle clicking double pastes in e.g. vim (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/168)
1.5.1
Changed
- Default value of the scrollback.multiplier option in
foot.ini
from1.0
to3.0
. shift
+insert
now pastes from the primary selection by default. This is in addition to middle-clicking with the mouse.
Fixed
- Mouse bindings now match even if the actual click count is larger than specified in the binding. This allows you to, for example, quickly press the middle-button to paste multiple times (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/146).
- Color flashes when changing the color palette with OSC 4,10,11 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/141).
- Scrollback position is now retained when resizing the window (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/142).
- Trackpad scrolling speed to better match the mouse scrolling speed,
and to be consistent with other (Wayland) terminal emulators. Note
that it is (much) slower compared to previous foot versions. Use the
scrollback.multiplier option in
foot.ini
if you find the new speed too slow (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/144). - Crash when
foot.ini
contains an invalid section name (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/159). - Background opacity when in reverse video mode.
- Crash when writing a sixel image that extends outside the terminal's right margin (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/151).
- Sixel image at non-zero column positions getting sheared at seemingly random occasions (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/151).
- Crash after either resizing a window or changing the font size if there were sixels present in the scrollback while doing so.
- Send Device Attributes to only send a response if
Ps == 0
. - Paste from primary when clipboard is empty.

foot.ini
from foot(5) to foot.ini(5). - Configuration errors are no longer fatal; foot will start and print an error inside the terminal (and of course still log errors on stderr).
- Default
--server

1.4.4
Changed
- Mouse cursor is now always a
left_ptr
when inside the margins, to indicate it is not possible to start a selection.
Fixed
- Crash when starting a selection inside the margins.
- Improved font size consistency across multiple monitors with different DPI (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/47).
- Handle trailing comments in
footrc
1.4.3
Added
- Section to README.md describing how to programmatically identify foot.
- LICENSE, README.md and
CHANGELOG.md are now installed to
${datadir}/doc/foot
. - Support for escaping quotes in pipe-visible and pipe-scrollback commands.
Changed
- Primary DA to no longer indicate support for Selective Erase, Technical Characters and Terminal State Interrogation.
- Secondary DA to report foot as a VT220 instead of a VT420.
- Secondary DA to report foot's version number in parameter 2, the
Firmware Version. The string is made up of foot's major, minor and
patch version numbers, always using two digits for each version
number and without any other separating characters. Thus, 1.4.2
would be reported as
010402
(i.e. the full response would be\E[>1;010402;0c
). - Scrollback search to only move the viewport if the match lies outside it.
- Scrollback search to focus match, that requires a viewport change, roughly in the center of the screen.
- Extending a selection with the right mouse button now works while dragging the mouse.
Fixed
- Crash in scrollback search.
- Crash when a pipe-visible or pipe-scrollback command contained an unclosed quote (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/49).

. - blink option to
footrc
; a boolean that lets you control whether the cursor should blink or not by default. Note that applications can override this. - Multi-seat support
- Implemented
C0::FF
(form feed) - pipe-visible and pipe-scrollback key bindings. These let you
pipe either the currently visible text, or the entire scrollback to
external tools (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/29). Example:
pipe-visible=[sh -c "xurls | bemenu | xargs -r firefox] Control+Print
Changed
- Background transparency to only be used with the default background color.
- Copy-to-clipboard/primary-selection to insert a line break if either the last cell on the previous line or the first cell on the next line is empty.
- Number of lines to scroll is now always clamped to the number of lines in the scrolling region..
- New terminal windows spawned with
ctrl
+shift
+n
are no longer double forked. - Unicode combining character overflow errors are only logged when debug logging has been enabled.

terminfo capability from\E[2 q
to\E[ q
.- Hollow cursor to be drawn when window has lost keyboard focus rather than visual focus.
Fixed
- Do not stop an ongoing selection when
shift
is released. When the client application is capturing the mouse, one must hold downshift
to start a selection. This selection is now finalized only when the mouse button is released - not as soon asshift
is released. - Selected cells did not appear selected if programmatically modified.
- Rare crash when scrolling and the new viewport ended up exactly on the wrap around.
- Selection handling when viewport wrapped around.
- Restore signal mask in the client process.
- Set
IUTF8
. - Selection of double-width characters. It is no longer possible to select half of a double-width character.
- Draw hollow block cursor on top of character.
- Set an initial
TIOCSWINSZ
. This ensures clients never read a0x0
terminal size (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/20). - Glyphs overflowing into surrounding cells (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/21).
- Crash when last rendered cursor cell had scrolled off screen and
\E[J3
was executed. - Assert (debug builds) when an
\e]4
OSC escape was not followed by a;
. - Window title always being set to "foot" on reset.
- Terminfo entry
kb2
(center keypad key); it is now set to\EOu
(which is what foot emits) instead of the incorrect value\EOE
. - Palette re-use in sixel images. Previously, the palette was reset after each image.
- Do not auto-resize a sixel image for which the client has specified a size. This fixes an issue where an image would incorrectly overflow into the cell row beneath.
- Text printed, or other sixel images drawn, on top of a sixel image no longer erases the entire image, only the part(s) covered by the new text or image.
- Sixel images being erased when printing text next to them.
- Sixel handling when resizing window.
- Sixel handling when scrollback wraps around.
- Foot now issues much fewer
wl_surface_damage_buffer()
calls (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/35). C0::VT
to be processed asC0::LF
. Previously,C0::VT
would only move the cursor down, but never scroll.C0::HT

.- A multi-column character that does not fit on the current line is now printed on the next line, instead of only printing half the character.
- Font size can no longer be reduced to negative values (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/38).
1.3.0
Added
- User configurable key- and mouse bindings. See
man 5 foot
and the examplefootrc
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1) - initial-window-mode option to
footrc
, that lets you control the initial mode for each newly spawned window: windowed, maximized or fullscreen. - app-id option to
footrc
and--app-id
command line option, that sets the app-id property on the Wayland window. - title option to
footrc
and--title
command line option, that sets the initial window title. - Right mouse button extends the current selection.
CSI Ps ; Ps ; Ps t
escape sequences for the following parameters:11t
,13t
,13;2t
,14t
,14;2t
,15t
,19t
.- Unicode combining characters.
Changed
- Spaces no longer removed from zsh font name completions.
- Default key binding for spawn-terminal to ctrl+shift+n.
- Renderer is now much faster with interactive scrolling (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/4)
- memfd sealing failures are no longer fatal errors.
- Selection to no longer be cleared on resize.
- The current monitor's subpixel order (RGB/BGR/V-RGB/V-BGR) is
preferred over FontConfig's
rgba
property. Only if the monitor's subpixel order isunknown
is FontConfig'srgba
property used. If the subpixel order isnone
, then grayscale antialiasing is used. The subpixel order is ignored if antialiasing has been disabled. - The four primary font variants (normal, bold, italic, bold italic) are now loaded in parallel. This speeds up both the initial startup time, as well as DPI changes.
- Command line parsing no longer tries to parse arguments following
the command-to-execute. This means one can now write
foot sh -c true
instead offoot -- sh -c true
.
Removed
- Keyboard/pointer handler workarounds for Sway 1.2.
Fixed
- Sixel images moved or deleted on window resize.
- Cursor sometimes incorrectly restored on exit from alternate screen.

Changed
- Subpixel antialiasing is only enabled when background is opaque
- Meta/alt ESC prefix can now be disabled with
\E[?1036l

- Logging to print to stderr, not stdout
- Backspace now emits DEL (^?), and ctrl+backspace emits BS (^H)
Removed
- '28' from DA response
