Changes

Fix Esc key.

Known issues

Esc key does not work properly.

Breaking changes

This version of vtm is not compatible with previous versions due to the changed directvt protocol.

Changes

Reimplement hotkey handling.
Drop schemes in favor of exclusive keyboard mode.

Platform Hotkey Description

Windows Ctrl-Alt | Alt-Ctrl Toggle exclusive keyboard mode.

Unix Alt+Shift+B Toggle exclusive keyboard mode.
Introduce preview mode for hotkeys. Keyboard events travel along the focus tree from the desktop to the target objects (preview route) and then return back to the desktop along the same path (release route). Normally, if the preview mode is not specified, the key event will travel all the way to the target object along the focus tree and will only be processed on the way back. If the preview keyword is specified, the event may be processed before reaching the target object.
An example of using preview mode is a key binding to switch to exclusive mode.
```
<config>
  <hotkeys>
    <terminal>
      <key="Ctrl-Alt | Alt-Ctrl" preview action=""/>  
      <key="Ctrl-Alt | Alt-Ctrl" preview action=ExclusiveKeyboardMode/>  
    </terminal>
  </hotkeys>
</config>
```

Known issues

Broken multiple actions for hotkeys.
Hotkey schemes are overengineered. It will be deprecated in future releases.

Changes

Fix issue with double keyboard focus when using vtm ssh user@host vtm.
Don't stop processing the key release event, just break processing the chords.

Known issues

Doubling keyboard focus when using vtm ssh user@host vtm.

Breaking changes

Rename tag <term/> to <terminal/> in settings.xml. See /src/vtm.xml for reference.

Changes

Fix some multi-threaded deadlocks.
Remove TerminalCwdSync menu item from default configuration.
