Overview

The process-singleton runtime: one Screen per app, reached through Screen.instance. It owns everything the UI needs to exist — the #event_queue, the UI lock, the invalidation set, the terminal IO, the back #buffer, the #theme/#theme_def, the #focused component, the global-shortcut registry, and the single ScreenPane under which all UI lives. Construct one with Screen.new (or Screen.fake in tests), tear it down with Screen.close.

The component tree

Everything on screen hangs off #pane (a ScreenPane): the tiled #content (set via #content=, filling the whole terminal and laying out its own children), the modal/overlay #popups stack (opened via Component::Popup#open, drawn on top of the content). Popups are not sized from their content — each carries its own top-down Component::Popup#size — and they deliberately overdraw the content without clipping.

Tuile draws no chrome of its own: there is no status bar and no reserved row, so #content gets the whole terminal. An app that wants a status line builds one into its own layout and drives it from #on_focus_changed= (D-status-bar).

Repaint model

Components never draw to the terminal directly. They call Component#invalidate to mark themselves dirty, and when they do paint they write styled cells into #buffer. Once the event loop drains its queue, #repaint walks the invalidated set in z-order, has each component paint into the buffer, then flushes the buffer's minimal diff (only cells that changed) to the terminal in one synchronized-output batch — which is what keeps repaint flicker-free and coalesces many invalidations into a single frame per tick. See the book (ch. 2) for the why.

Thread-safety

UI-thread-confined, where "the UI thread" changes hands once: it is the loop's thread while #run_event_loop is in progress, and the thread that created the screen whenever no loop is running (#state :idle). So an app builds its tree on its own thread, hands ownership to the loop, and gets it back for teardown — the loop needn't run on the creating thread. All UI mutations — #content=, #focused=, #theme=, Component#invalidate, rect=, … — obey it via #check_locked.

A worker marshals back with screen.event_queue.submit { … }, which runs the block only while a loop is draining the queue — outside :running it silently never fires. Terminal resize, key/mouse input and OS color-scheme flips arrive as events on that same queue.

The singleton slot survives subclassing (FakeScreen < Screen), so FakeScreen — which captures output in memory — is what Screen.instance returns under test.

Direct Known Subclasses

FakeScreen

Constant Summary collapse

EDITING_KEYS =

Keys #register_global_shortcut refuses because every editable widget needs them: the registry sits above the component tree, so binding one app-wide would silently break text entry everywhere — a Component::TextArea's newline, a caret move, a deletion. ENTER is the trap worth naming: it is unprintable, so nothing else stops it, and "bind Enter to submit" is the obvious wrong way to build a default button. The right way is a handle_key on the form itself, where a focused field still gets first refusal — see Tuile::ScreenPane#handle_key.

Deliberately not reserved: HOME/END/PAGE_UP/PAGE_DOWN. They move within a widget rather than mutate its value, and binding them app-wide (scroll the log pane) is a real use case.

Returns:

  • (Array<String>) 
[
  Keys::ENTER, Keys::DELETE, *Keys::BACKSPACES,
  Keys::UP_ARROW, Keys::DOWN_ARROW, Keys::LEFT_ARROW, Keys::RIGHT_ARROW,
  Keys::CTRL_LEFT_ARROW, Keys::CTRL_RIGHT_ARROW
].freeze
@@instance =

Class variable (not class instance var) so the singleton survives subclassing — FakeScreen < Screen and Screen.instance see the same slot.

#event_queue ⇒ EventQueue (readonly)

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 223

def event_queue

#focused ⇒ Component?

@return — currently focused component.

Returns:

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 280

def focused
  @focused
end

#on_error ⇒ Proc

Handler invoked when a StandardError escapes an event handler inside the event loop (e.g. a Component::TextField's on_change raises).

The default re-raises, so the exception propagates out of #run_event_loop and crashes the script with a stacktrace — unhandled exceptions are bugs and should be surfaced loudly.

Replace it when the host has somewhere visible to put errors, e.g. a Component::LogWindow wired to Tuile.logger:

screen.on_error = lambda do |e|
Tuile.logger.error("#{e.class}: #{e.message}\n#{e.backtrace&.join("\n")}")
end

The handler runs on the event-loop thread with the UI lock held. Returning normally keeps the loop alive; raising from within the handler tears the loop down and propagates out of #run_event_loop.

@return — one-arg callable receiving the StandardError instance.

Returns:

  • (Proc)

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 143

def on_error
  @on_error
end

#on_focus_changed ⇒ Proc?

Called after the focused component changes — including to and from nil, and including the focus repair that runs when a popup closes. Takes no arguments; read #focused (and walk its parent chain) for the new state.

This is the hook an app drives its own status line from. Tuile owns no status bar and reserves no row: build a Component::Label into your own layout and fill it here (D-status-bar).

screen.on_focus_changed = -> { bar.text = hint_for(screen.focused) }

Edge-triggered, like Component#on_attached: re-assigning the component that already has focus fires nothing, so a callback can be as expensive as rebuilding a hint string without a did it really change? guard of its own. That matters more than it looks — ScreenPane#content= clears focus on every content swap, which on a level-triggered hook would fire a nil→nil notification during assembly.

It runs after the active-flag cascade and on_focus, so the tree is settled. Two things a callback must tolerate: #focused being nil, and firing during #close — teardown clears focus, exactly as it fires Component#on_detached. A raising callback propagates out of #focused= and leaves focus assigned; keep it trivial, as with the attach hooks.

Returns:

  • (Proc, nil)

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 166

def size
  @size
end

#theme ⇒ Theme

The color Theme built-in components read at paint time: the member of #theme_def matching the terminal background detected at construction (see TerminalBackground.detect; inconclusive means dark). While the event loop runs, terminals supporting mode 2031 push OS appearance changes (EventQueue::ColorSchemeEvent) and the screen re-picks from #theme_def.

Returns:



175
176
177
 
# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 175

def theme
  @theme
end

#theme_def ⇒ ThemeDef

The app's ThemeDef — the dark/light Theme pair the screen picks #theme from, at startup and on every OS appearance flip. Starts as ThemeDef.default (ThemeDef::DEFAULT unless reassigned — tests do, see ThemeDef.default=). Assigning a custom definition is the durable way to theme an app: unlike a bare #theme=, it survives the user toggling the OS appearance.

Returns:

.fake ⇒ FakeScreen

Testing only — creates new screen, locks the UI, and prevents any redraws, so that test TTY is not painted over. FakeScreen#initialize self-installs as the singleton, so subsequent instance calls return the same object.

Returns:

Instance Method Details

#add_popup(window) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 343

def add_popup(window)
  check_locked
  @pane.add_popup(window)
  # No need to fully repaint the scene: a popup simply paints over the
  # current screen contents.
end

#beep ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Rings the terminal bell (Ansi::BEL) — the signal for a keystroke that went nowhere, e.g. a letter matching no menu mnemonic while a menu is open.

return true if activate_mnemonic(key)

screen.beep   # no match: the key is swallowed, say so
true

Writes immediately rather than riding the next frame: a beep is not part of a frame, and the keystrokes worth beeping at are precisely the ones that invalidate nothing, so #repaint may never emit at all. Whether the user hears anything is the terminal's setting to make, so there is no Tuile-level enable/disable knob.

#check_locked ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Raises unless the calling thread currently owns the UI (see the class-level threading contract).

screen.check_locked   # from a worker: raises; wrap the work in
                    # screen.event_queue.submit { ... } instead

#close ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Tears the screen down and vacates the singleton slot, moving #state to the terminal :closed. Unmounts the tree first, so every component gets its Component#on_detached. Idempotent.

end

#cursor_position ⇒ Point?

Returns the absolute screen coordinates where the hardware cursor should sit, or nil if it should be hidden. Only the #focused component owns the cursor: there can be multiple active components (the focus path), but only one focused.

Returns:

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 653

def cursor_position = @focused&.cursor_position

#cursor_sequence ⇒ String

The escape sequence positioning the hardware cursor for the current focus state: hidden when nothing owns it, else moved to the focused component's Component#cursor_position and shown. Appended to each frame's flush.

Returns:

end

#cycle_focus(forward:) ⇒ Boolean

Walks the current modal scope in pre-order, collects tab stops, and advances focus by one (wrapping). When the focused component isn't in the tab order (e.g. focus is parked on a popup/window chrome with no interactable widgets), Tab goes to the first stop and Shift+Tab to the last.

@param forward

           end
  return false if target.equal?(@focused)

  self.focused = target
  true
end

#detect_scheme ⇒ Symbol

Startup color scheme: :light when TerminalBackground.detect reports a light terminal background, :dark otherwise (including when detection is inconclusive). Runs in the constructor — the OSC 11 reply arrives on stdin, which is only safe to read before EventQueue#start_key_thread owns it. FakeScreen overrides this to pin :dark, keeping specs deterministic and off the test runner's TTY.

@return — :dark or :light.

Returns:

  • (Symbol)

def detect_scheme
  TerminalBackground.detect == :light ? :light : :dark

#emit(str) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Writes an assembled frame (escape string) to the terminal. The single sink for repaint output; FakeScreen overrides it to capture instead.

@param str

Parameters:

#focus_next ⇒ Boolean

Advances focus to the next Component#tab_stop? in tree order, wrapping around. Scope is the topmost popup if one is open, otherwise #content — this keeps Tab confined inside a modal popup. No-op (returns false) if the modal scope has no tab stops or no content at all.

@return — true if focus moved.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 405

def focus_next = cycle_focus(forward: true)

#focus_previous ⇒ Boolean

Mirror of #focus_next that walks backwards through the tab order.

@return — true if focus moved.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 409

def focus_previous = cycle_focus(forward: false)

#handle_key(key) ⇒ Boolean

A key has been pressed on the keyboard. Handle it, or forward to active window.

Dispatch order:

1. Tab / Shift+Tab — reserved focus navigation, intercepted before
 anything else so a focused {Component::TextField} (which swallows
 printable keys) can't trap them.
2. App-level shortcuts from {#register_global_shortcut}. An entry
 registered with `over_popups: true` always fires; one with the
 default `over_popups: false` fires only when no modal popup is open
 (otherwise the modal popup receives the key normally). A non-modal
 overlay doesn't suppress global shortcuts.
3. {ScreenPane#handle_key} — delivery to {#focused}, bubbling up the
 focus chain to the scope root.

@param key

@return — true if the key was handled by some window.

Parameters:

  • key (String)

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#handle_mouse(event) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Finds target window and calls Component::Window#handle_mouse.

@param event

Parameters:



775
 
# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 775

def handle_mouse(event) = @pane.handle_mouse(event)

#handle_paste(text) ⇒ Boolean

Delivers pasted text down the focus chain (Tuile::ScreenPane#handle_paste).

Deliberately not the key ladder: a paste is not a keystroke, so it skips Tab traversal and the global-shortcut registry entirely and goes straight to delivery. Unhandled text is dropped — there is no fallback that replays it as keys, which would put back the very ambiguity mode 2004 exists to remove.

@param text

@return — true if some component consumed it.

Parameters:

  • text (String)

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


786
 
# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 786

def handle_paste(text) = @pane.handle_paste(text)

#has_popup?(window) ⇒ Boolean

@param window

@return — true if this popup is currently mounted.

  @invalidated << component unless @repainting.include? component
end

#layout ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Resizes #buffer and #pane to the current #size, invalidates the whole tree and repaints. Run whenever the terminal size changes (the EventQueue::TTYSizeEvent path) and once at startup via the first #content=.

  needs_full_repaint

  repaint
end

#needs_full_repaint ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Invalidates the entire attached tree, forcing every component to repaint on the next cycle. Needed whenever something overdraws the scene without clipping and then exposes what was underneath — a closing popup (#remove_popup), or a popup that shrinks or moves so its new #rect no longer covers the cells it previously painted (Component::Popup#rect=). The popup-only fast path in #repaint can't clear those vacated cells on its own, so we accept the cost of a full repaint.

#on_color_scheme(scheme) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

An OS appearance flip arrived (mode-2031 report): remember the scheme and apply the matching member of #theme_def.

@param scheme — :dark or :light.

Parameters:

  • scheme (Symbol)

  self.theme = @theme_def.for(@color_scheme)
end

#popups ⇒ ::Array[Component]

@return — currently active popup components (forwarded to Tuile::ScreenPane). The array must not be modified!

Returns:

# File 'lib/tuile/screen.rb', line 220

def popups = @pane.popups

#print(*args) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Writes terminal-housekeeping escapes straight to stdout: #clear, mouse-tracking start/stop, the color-scheme notify toggles, cursor-show on teardown. Component painting does not go through here anymore — it writes into #buffer, which #repaint diffs and #emits. FakeScreen overrides this (and #emit) to capture into @prints instead of the test runner's stdout.

@param args — stuff to print.

Parameters:

  • args (String)

#register_global_shortcut(key, over_popups: false, &block) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Registers an app-level keyboard shortcut: when key arrives, the block runs on the event-loop thread (free to mutate UI) before the key reaches any component. Re-registering a key replaces its binding.

This registry is the only keyboard mechanism above the component tree, and nothing suppresses it — so it accepts only keys no widget can need. Three groups raise at registration rather than misbehaving at runtime:

  • Printable keys — they'd hijack typing into a Component::TextField. A scope-wide one-key binding belongs on the scope root's own handle_key, where a focused field consumes it first (see Tuile::ScreenPane#handle_key).

  • TAB / SHIFT_TAB — #handle_key intercepts them for focus navigation before the registry is consulted, so a binding would never fire.

  • EDITING_KEYS — ENTER, BACKSPACE, DELETE and the arrows, which every editable widget needs.

    screen.register_global_shortcut(Keys::CTRL_L, over_popups: true) do log_popup.open end

@param key — unprintable key (e.g. Keys::CTRL_L, Keys::ESC).

@param over_popups — when true, fires even while a modal popup is open (pre-empting the popup); when false (default), suppressed while any popup is open so the popup gets the key.

Parameters:

  • key (String)
  • over_popups: (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

#remove_popup(window) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Internal — use Component::Popup#close instead. Removes the popup from #pane, repairs focus, and repaints the scene.

Does nothing if the window is not open on this screen.

end

#repaint ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Repaints the screen; tries to be as effective as possible, by only considering invalidated components and flushing just the changed cells of #buffer. Called once per event-loop tick (on EventQueue::EmptyQueueEvent); components should Component#invalidate and let the loop coalesce rather than call this directly.

  # This simple TUI framework doesn't support window clipping since tiled

  # simple and very fast in common cases.

    # Defensive filter: a component can become detached between enqueue

#run_event_loop(capture_mouse: true, bracketed_paste: true) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Runs the event loop on the calling thread, taking over stdin (raw mode, echo off): keys and mouse events are dispatched via #handle_key / #handle_mouse, and the loop repaints once per drained tick. Returns when q or ESC is pressed unhandled. Restores terminal state on exit.

For the duration this thread owns the UI (#state is :running); ownership reverts to the creating thread once it returns.

@param capture_mouse — when true (default), enables xterm mouse tracking so clicks and scroll wheel arrive as MouseEvents and feed Component#handle_mouse. When false, no tracking escape sequence is written: the terminal keeps its native click handling, which is what you want if the app benefits more from select-to-copy than from click-to-focus. Components' handle_mouse is simply never invoked from the loop in that mode (the terminal stops sending the bytes).

@param bracketed_paste — when true (default), enables DEC private mode 2004 so pasted text arrives whole, as Component#handle_paste, instead of as one keystroke per character — which is the only way a pasted line break can be told from a typed Enter. When false, a paste streams in as keys again and a component that gives ENTER a meaning fires it once per pasted line. Turn it off only for a terminal that mishandles the mode.

Parameters:

  • capture_mouse: (Boolean) (defaults to: true)
  • bracketed_paste: (Boolean) (defaults to: true)

#state ⇒ Symbol

:idle covers both ends of the screen's life — before the first #run_event_loop and after it returns — and a screen may cycle :idle → :running → :idle repeatedly. :closed is terminal.

@return — :idle (no event loop running), :running (a #run_event_loop is in progress) or :closed (after #close).

Returns:

  • (Symbol)
