Track mouse events outside the window#624
Conversation
On mouse down, there's an "implicit grab" made by the window system which ensures that mouse events are delivered to the window that received the mouse-down even if the cursor strays outside the original window before mouse-up. Kitty has been filtering out these outside-window events and ignoring them, creating behavior that differs from most other applications. This change remembers the window bound to the mouse-down event and uses it until mouse up, implementing more conventional moues behavior.

Just curious, what is the status on this PR? |

It's waiting for the changes I indicated in my review. Apparently @dcolascione is busy at the moment. |

Did you leave the comments somewhere else outside of this PR, or Github simply doesn't show the review to me? I don't see the review here, and I want to follow the discussion thread 🙂 Screenshot

That's the link to this PR, and I don't see any comments. I think you might have forgotten to click "Submit review", and until you do that, nobody except you sees the comments.

This looks like an unnecessary change.

Tracking window pointers and window_idx is unsafe. Both can change at any time. Instead use the window id, which is guaranteed unique for the lifetime of kitty. As for window_idx, you should calculate it maually by iterating for the windows in the current tab, as window_for_event does anyway.

Wow, that's confusing :) I clicked submit review now should be fine. |

Yup, thanks, now @dcolascione has some work to do 😛 |
