16:12 <anarcat> hi!

16:12 <anarcat> i'm having trouble setting up "true color" mode in tmux

16:12 <anarcat> https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-use-rgb-colour says to do set -as terminal-features ",gnome*:RGB"

16:12 <anarcat> but i suspect this assumes gnome-terminal

16:13 <anarcat> so i tried set -as terminal-features ",foot*:RGB", but this still "doesn't work" (as in https://gitlab.com/anarcat/scripts/-/blob/main/truecolor-test?ref_type=heads shows chunks instead of a smooth gradient)

16:13 <anarcat> truecolor-test works without tmux

16:19 <dnkl> try using "our" terminfo instead of the one from ncurses.

16:19 <anarcat> sigh

16:20 <dnkl> you should be able to use tmux overrides as well

16:20 <dnkl> I just don't know the magic combo

16:20 <dnkl> since I don't use tmux myself

16:20 <anarcat> installing foot-terminfo in debian doesn't help

16:20 <anarcat> i'm not sure why

16:21 <anarcat> well that's the thing, the override is the `terminal-features` stuff i pasted above

16:21 <dnkl> check the name of the terminfo file installed

16:21 <dnkl> cbb knows more about tmux than I do

16:22 <anarcat> ah, this works

16:22 <anarcat> set -ag terminal-overrides ",foot*:RGB"

16:22 <anarcat> yeah, foot-terminfo doesn't actually exist anymore

16:22 <anarcat> i guess debian assumes all goodies were merged in ncurses, sigh

16:23 <dnkl> a good chunk of the additional capabilities we define are tmux related :)

16:24 <anarcat> thanks!

17:32 <Arnavion> anarcat: Yes, there was discussion in this channel back in 2023-07 that Debian had decided to drop the extra terminfos entirely because of https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1916321.html and someone may want to suggest them to rename the terminfos to foot-extra instead

17:35 <Arnavion> Yes, the subthread by Diedrik brings it up and maintainer seems to agree to adding -extra, but seems to not have done it

17:48 <anarcat> Arnavion: i opened a new issue about this

17:50 <anarcat> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1090821

18:35 <cbb> anarcat: dnkl: this may be of some interest: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/72cd0eac29f9967f2d6c5f1968b0dec6e9d737f5

18:36 <cbb> the TTY_FEATURES_BASE_MODERN_XTERM macro expands to "256,RGB,bpaste,clipboard,mouse,strikethrough,title"

18:36 <anarcat> i wonder if TTY_FEATURES_BASE_MODERN_XTERM has

18:36 <anarcat> ha

18:36 <anarcat> cool!

18:36 <anarcat> so this will become moot in the next tmux release, nice!

18:36 <anarcat> ncurses be damned

18:51 <Arnavion> That's nice

18:57 <dnkl> wonder why they didn't add more capabilities... looking at the entry above, I see a number of features that should be applicable to foot

18:57 <anarcat> maybe those are available in the terminfo?

21:12 <cbb> dnkl: yeah, I noticed that too

21:13 <cbb> I guess for some of them, it could just be a conservative approach w.r.t. the version

21:14 <cbb> probably an oversight for most of them though

21:23 <cbb> anarcat: "osc7" and "hyperlinks" aren't

21:23 <cbb> and maybe some others
