The detailed commit graph is only drawn for users who set
gui.commitGraphStyle to 'detailed'. Many users of terminals that can
draw it will never find out about it. A terminal can't be asked whether
it draws a given character, but it does tell us its name and version
when tcell asks for them with XTVERSION at startup.
Add an 'auto' value and make it the default. It uses the detailed graph
in kitty from 0.36.2 and in Ghostty from 1.0.0 on. These are the first
versions that draw all of the symbols. Everywhere else it stays with
the classic graph. This includes tmux, because tmux answers XTVERSION
itself. So far, WezTerm draws the symbols only in its nightly builds, so
it isn't detected until a release has them. VS Code isn't detected
either, because it only draws the symbols with GPU acceleration.
The expected output of the integration tests has the classic graph, so
pin it in their config. Otherwise they would fail when run with a
visible UI in one of these terminals.
Log the terminal's name and version at startup, to make it possible to
find out why 'auto' picked what it did.

Some theme colors can't have one default that suits both dark and light
backgrounds. A gray background for the selected line of an inactive
view has to be lighter than the terminal's background if that is dark,
and darker if it is light.
Give such fields a default for each kind of background. Derive it from
the terminal's background color if the terminal tells us, so that it
keeps the same distance from the background however dark or light that
is, and takes on its tint. Otherwise, assume a black or white
background.
These defaults can't be the defaults of gui.theme. We would then have
to tell whether a value there came from the user or from the built-in
defaults, because only the user's value should win over a background
default. Keep them apart from the user config instead, and leave these
fields empty in the defaults of gui.theme, so that a value there always
comes from the user. Tests ensure that no field has both kinds of
defaults, and that both kinds of background set the same fields.
Start with inactiveViewSelectedLineBgColor: the background mixed with
30% white if it is dark (#4d4d4d on black), or with 15% black if it is
light (#d9d9d9 on white). A gray background shows where the selection
is in a view without the focus more clearly than the bold text we used
so far.

A color that reads well on a dark background can be hard to read on a
light one, and the other way round. If you switch your terminal between
dark and light, there is often no single set of theme colors that works
for both (#4366).
Add two overrides of gui.theme, one for each kind of background.
gui.colorScheme, or else what the terminal tells us, decides which one
applies. A field that is set in the override replaces the one in
gui.theme. Author colors and branch color patterns are merged by entry
instead, so that an override doesn't have to repeat the entries it
doesn't change.
When the terminal's background changes, re-apply the theme and
re-render all views, not only the ones that show author colors.

Since gui.colorScheme exists, the name reads as if the function set that
config. That gets more confusing once gui.colorScheme decides which
theme the function applies.

We are about to add overrides of gui.theme for dark and light
backgrounds. Author and branch colors need them too, because a color
that reads well on a dark background may be hard to read on a light
one. Move them into gui.theme, so that the overrides cover them without
a mechanism of their own.
The migration of gui.branchColors creates gui.branchColorPatterns, so it
now has to run before the moves.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
gui.branchColors has been deprecated in favor of gui.branchColorPatterns
since 0.44.0. We are about to move gui.branchColorPatterns into
gui.theme, and the deprecated key would have to move along with it.
Migrate it instead, so that we can remove it.
gui.branchColors matched its keys against the part of a branch name
before the first slash. The pattern ^<key>(/|$), with the key escaped,
matches the same branches.
If gui.branchColorPatterns is set, gui.branchColors has no effect; in
that case the migration removes it. This check is done per file. So if
the global config sets gui.branchColorPatterns and a repo config sets
only gui.branchColors, the repo's colors were ignored so far, and now
they apply.

Renderers like delta and difftastic pick their colors for either a dark
or a light background, and they can't find out which one the terminal
has. Lazygit runs them with TERM=dumb, in a pty that doesn't answer
their queries. So the colors come from the config, and when the
terminal switches between dark and light, the diff keeps the ones it
has.
Add {{colorScheme}} to the commands of diff renderers. It is 'dark' or
'light', going by gui.colorScheme, or by the terminal if that is
'auto'. It can be passed to delta as --{{colorScheme}} and to
difftastic as --background={{colorScheme}}; other renderers can choose
between options with a template expression. When the terminal switches
between dark and light, render the diff again.

The colors that lazygit derives from the names of authors are picked
for a dark background. On a light one, they are too pale to read;
against white, every author has a contrast ratio between 2.2:1 and
3.5:1.
Now that lazygit knows whether the terminal is dark or light, pick them
from a darker range of lightness when it is light. Against white, the
contrast ratio is now between 5.2:1 and 9.2:1, and against the
background of Solarized Light between 4.8:1 and 8.5:1. On a dark
background, nothing changes. If the terminal switches between dark and
light while lazygit is running, draw the commits again in the new
colors.
Add gui.colorScheme for terminals that don't tell us, and for anyone
who wants to override what they tell. It is 'auto' by default; 'dark'
and 'light' ignore what the terminal says.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Lazygit doesn't know whether the terminal it runs in has a dark or a
light background. The colors of authors, for example, have to suit one
or the other, and are too pale to read on a light background.
Ask the terminal. Many terminals answer CSI ? 996 n with whether they
are dark or light, and send the same report again whenever that changes
while mode 2031 is on. Terminals differ in what they base this on,
though. kitty goes by its background color, but Ghostty goes by the dark
or light mode of the operating system, even with a theme that doesn't
follow it. So also ask for the background color with OSC 11. If the
terminal answers that, the background decides, and a report only makes
us ask for the background again. Some terminals answer OSC 11 but send
no reports; ask these for the background again whenever the terminal
gains focus.
Turn mode 2031 off whenever lazygit hands the terminal to another
program, so that the program doesn't receive the reports as typed text.
For the same reason, first wait for the answers to any queries that are
still outstanding, but for no longer than half a second. Locally, the
answers take a few milliseconds at most, but over ssh they take a
network round trip, and focusing the terminal and then pressing a key
that starts an editor fits into that.
Leave out the terminals that tcell doesn't send its own queries to,
except for Terminal.app and WezTerm; these are only asked for the
background color.
This doesn't make startup any slower. tcell sends its own queries in
Screen.Init and waits for the terminal to answer them. Ours go out just
before, so their answers arrive before tcell stops waiting, and the
color scheme is known before the first layout.
tcell has no support for any of this, and drops the answers when it
parses its input. Instead of adding support to tcell, wrap the tty that
tcell reads from and watch the input as it goes by.
For now, lazygit only writes the color scheme to the debug log.

Two places nudged the flags because nothing else would: switching repos,
where the view focused in the repo being left is not the one focused in the
repo being entered, and tabbing from the suggestions list back to the
prompt, which replaces the top of the stack rather than popping it, so the
suggestions context never hears that it lost the focus. Both are just a
context leaving the stack now.

The filter input is where the keyboard points for as long as such a menu
is open, so that the first printable key can go straight into it. The menu
still gets every key the input doesn't take, because the input view is
embedded in the menu view, and the two are drawn as one focused panel.
Which keys the input takes changes once there is a filter: until then
printable keys still drive the menu, so that the configured navigation
keys work as usual, and afterwards they are all filter text. A menu item's
own keys are never bound in such a menu, because typing one has to reach
the filter rather than execute the item.
Escape gives up the filter and leaves the menu open; the next one closes
it. The filter prompt behind '/' is gone from these menus: the row already
does that job, and a second filter would only be confusing.

The check was a single set of view names, so it also let a click move

Originally I thought we'd benefit from this change in this branch; turns
out that we didn't after all, because we changed the approach, but it's
a nice cleanup anyway, so we include it here.
Entering a submodule clears GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE, as it must: they
say where the superproject is. But the stack we push the superproject
onto so that escape brings us back only held its path, and for a repo
opened with --git-dir/--work-tree the path leads nowhere — git can't
find a repo there. Escaping out of a submodule of a dotfile repo failed
with "not a git repository", or, if some unrelated repo happened to lie
above the work tree, quietly switched to that one instead.
Push the environment onto the stack along with the path, taken from the
repo paths rather than from the process env, so that it also covers a
repo we worked the location out for ourselves.

onNewRepo also runs when switching repos, and a failure there leaves us

Blocking keyboard input and hiding the working tree state mode are two
separate concerns; they were fused into one helper because every caller
so far wanted both. A caller that blocks input for something other than a
rebase would then hide the "Rebasing" indicator for the duration of its
operation, which has nothing to do with it.
Make it an explicit option instead, so blocking input on its own doesn't
imply anything about the modes on display.
The pty teardown in Close runs on a background goroutine that doesn't
get to finish when lazygit is quitting: the process exits milliseconds
after the view buffer managers are closed. The job objects still cover
the clients -- KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE reaps them when the process's handles
are rundown at exit -- but nothing reaps the conhost, so on Windows
builds whose conhost fails to run down on its own, quitting leaks one
conhost per live pty.
This is not a rare timing window: a diff longer than what has been
read keeps its git process (and thus its pty and conhost) running for
the entire time it is displayed, so that scrolling can read more.
Quitting while looking at a long diff is therefore the common case,
and with an external differ configured it leaks a conhost on affected
builds on almost every quit.
Fix this by having the gui's shutdown path wait synchronously for the
in-flight teardowns after closing the view buffer managers. A quit
signal makes the teardowns skip the conhost rundown wait -- the
conhost serves nothing once its clients are dead, and the exit must
not stall for its sake -- so the wait normally completes in
milliseconds, keeping quit as fast as before; a 2-second cap protects
the exit path even if a teardown wedges.

Having the cache in state.yml causes this file to be rewritten every
60s, which is annoying if you have a lazygit running in the background
somewhere without even realizing it, and it keeps overwriting the
foreground lazygit's newer command shell history and recent repos list
with its stale data. State.yml should only contain things that change in
response to user actions, not periodically.
GitHub exposes a combined status for the head commit without requiring
individual check contexts. Include that rollup in the existing request
and startup cache so every consumer sees the same state without making a
second network request.
For a long time lazygit has used the term "custom pager" to refer to
what's really a "diff renderer". A pager is a program that allows you to
view output page by page (hence the name), e.g. less; lazygit's custom
diff renderers are not pagers. It used the term only because the feature
is implemented using git's GIT_PAGER env var, but that's an
implementation detail.
Rename the 'git.pagers' config to 'git.diffRenderers', and restructure
its elements while we're at it to make things clearer:
- Add a 'type' field to explicitly specify which type of diff renderer
it is (the two fundamentally different ones are 'stdinFilter' and
'extDiff').
- Add a third type, 'rawGit', which has an 'args' field that makes it
easy to use 'git --color-words' as a custom renderer
- Unify the old 'pager' and 'externalDiffCommand' fields to a single
'command' field for both types
Existing config files are migrated automatically.
On startup we don't want to block input during the initial refresh (it
should be possible to press, say, `4` to jump to the commits panel right
after startup without a delay), and we also want panels to show their
contents as soon as possible; it doesn't matter so much that it's not in
sync, we go from empty to populated here. However, when switching repos
it can be confusing that some panels that are slow to update still show
the old repo's data while others already show the new one's data, so
update the UI only when everything is ready, and also block input to
prevent accidentally trying to act on the old, stale data.
The refreshes on focus-in, right after a repo switch, and after
returning from a subprocess are full foreground refreshes, so their
tasks kept Busy() true for as long as the slowest scope took — and any
switch attempt in that window was refused with the "can't switch"
toast. The focus-in one is particularly annoying: focusing lazygit is
often precisely what the user does in order to switch repos, and right
after regaining focus is when a refresh takes longest.
Blocking the switch bought nothing there. The refusal exists for user
operations, whose follow-up work (e.g. a Then callback reading the
model) isn't covered by the switch-safety guards; but these refreshes
merely reload state, and a refresh by itself is now switch-safe: its
git commands run against the repo it was started for, and the
generation guard drops its updates when the repo changed.
We can't just mark them Background, because that flag also decides
whether the files refresh lets git take optional locks to persist its
refreshed stat cache — worth doing for an attended refresh, and the
focus-in refresh (typically running right after external changes) is
the case that profits most. So split the two meanings: a new
DontBlockRepoSwitch option dispatches the refresh's tasks as background
tasks (excluded from Busy()) while keeping the attended optional-locks
behavior. Combining it with Then panics, since Then is not
generation-guarded.

The file-path suggestions trie is rebuilt asynchronously and then read by
the suggestions search, which runs on an AsyncHandler worker. It lived in
Model().FilesTrie, so that worker read the (UI-thread-only) model. Move
it to an atomic pointer on the SuggestionsHelper instead: it's the only
place that uses it, the helper is recreated per repo (so the cache still
resets on a repo switch), and an atomic pointer is safe to store from the
build and load from the search worker.

PopupMutex guarded CurrentPopupOpts against a popup being created on a
worker goroutine while the UI thread deactivated it, or reset it on a
repo switch. Now that popup and menu creation is bounced onto the UI
thread, every access to CurrentPopupOpts — create, deactivate, and the
reset-on-switch (which already runs on the UI thread) — happens on the
one goroutine, so the mutex protects nothing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Raising a popup or menu pushes a context and mutates the popup views, so
it must happen on the UI thread. But it can be triggered from a worker
goroutine — for example a WithWaitingStatus handler that hits a merge
conflict and calls PromptForConflictHandling, or a worker that shows a
confirmation — where it raced the UI thread's layout and draw code.
Bounce the creation onto the UI thread at the one point where the popup
and menu producers are injected into the popup handler, so every caller
stays oblivious to the threading. For a caller that is already on the UI
thread this adds no delay: the main loop drains the enqueued closure in
the same event-processing cycle, before it draws.

Nothing calls it anymore now that the commit-surgery operations run on a
worker with input blocked. Remove the helper, its bespoke synchronous
spinner loop (renderAppStatusSync/setAppStatusContent), the popup-handler
plumbing, and the interface method.
That loop was also the only thing suppressing the yellow "Rebasing" mode
indicator (and its reset button) while lazygit drives a rebase itself.
Move that suppression to WithWaitingStatusBlockingInput so it applies to
every input-blocking commit-surgery op — including the ones that already
ran on a worker (edit, drop, and so on) and previously let the indicator
flash on mid-operation. It's cleared after the refresh, so an operation
that legitimately leaves a rebase in progress still shows the mode.

Bracket gocui's BeginBlockingEvents/EndBlockingEvents around a
worker operation that shows a waiting status. The block is begun
synchronously on the UI thread, before the operation is dispatched to a
worker, so no keypress can slip through in between; it ends via
OnUIThread once the operation and its refresh have applied their UI
updates, so the replayed keys act on the refreshed state.
This composes what the retiring WithWaitingStatusSync did — show a
status and block input — but on a worker, so the UI keeps rendering
(spinner animates, model updates land) instead of freezing. Callers
follow in subsequent commits.

With sync vs async now derived from the calling thread, the Mode field

Resolve the pkg/gocui/gui.go conflict by keeping master's background-task
structure (Update/update(background), taskManager) and applying the
unbounded user-event queue on top — the same end state as if the fix had
been written on master directly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Now that the queue is unbounded, its depth is a useful signal for
understanding how the event loop behaves under load — and we expect it
to look very different across builds (e.g. master, which carries the
bounce-state-updates-to-ui-thread work, versus the v0.63.0 release this
fix ships in). Track the deepest the queue has ever been and log an Info
line whenever that record is broken, so the numbers show up in the log
for later reasoning. The mark is session-wide and doesn't reset when the
queue drains.
gocui has no logger of its own, so it exposes the new depth through a
handler (matching the existing SetFocusHandler / SetOpenHyperlinkFunc
pattern) that the gui registers to log via its own logger.

When scrolling a lazy-loaded view (a diff in the main view, the command
log, etc.), we top up the view's line buffer by reading more lines from
the still-running task. This was driven by asking the task to read a
fixed number of *additional* lines on every scroll event, which had two
problems:
- It was decoupled from the scroll position. Scrolling down, back up,
and down again re-read lines that had already been read, so the buffer
crept towards the end of the input regardless of where the user
actually scrolled.
- A single wheel notch only bought a single notch worth of runway, so
fast scrolling constantly outran the reader and had to wait for the
next read (and re-render) on every notch.
Make ReadLines take an absolute target total instead of a delta: the
task tracks how many lines it has read and only reads the shortfall, so
requests are idempotent. Callers now ask to fill the viewport at the
current scroll position plus a few screenfuls of read-ahead, which gives
scrolling enough runway to stay smooth.
The four call sites all wanted the same "fill this view" computation, so
consolidate them into a single ReadLinesToFillView helper.

GuiRepoState.mergeOrRebaseStartedInLazygit and StartupStage are plain
fields, but they're written and read from worker goroutines: the former
from both the files refresh and the merge/rebase result path (which runs on
a worker for the async callers), the latter from the reflog/branches load as
it transitions the startup stage. Those are data races.
Make both atomic, like Branch.BehindBaseBranch. They're leaf flags, not
mutexes guarding model or view state, so an atomic is the natural fit and
keeps the merge/rebase result path out of this change.

Repo-switch safety needs to answer, synchronously on the UI thread,
"is any foreground work in flight right now?" so it can refuse a switch
that would run against a repo about to be swapped out. gocui already
tracks a task per OnWorker/Update for the test idle-listener; extend
that.
Tasks gain a background flag: background tasks (the ongoing routines
like auto-fetch, and the refreshes they trigger) don't count towards
busy, because their model writes are already guarded against a
concurrent switch by the repo generation. Add OnWorkerBackground,
UpdateBackground and UpdateContentOnlyBackground (plus the gui-layer
OnUIThreadBackground / OnUIThreadContentOnlyBackground / OnWorkerBackground
on IGuiCommon) so the few background call sites can opt in without
touching the hundreds of foreground callers.
TaskManager.hasBusyForegroundTaskExcept answers the query; Gui.Busy()
wraps it, excluding the event currently being processed (recorded as
currentTask) so a handler asking the question doesn't count itself.
Nothing gates on Busy() yet; this is the mechanism only.

refreshStateFiles now does its git work on the worker and enqueues a
single OnUIThread closure that writes Model.Submodules, Model.Files, and
the FileTreeViewModel state together, instead of writing them directly
from the worker goroutine. refreshStateSubmoduleConfigs becomes a pure
getter (returns the configs; no model write) so the result can be
threaded into that same bounce.
The STAGING handler wraps RefreshStagingPanel in OnUIThread after
fileWg.Wait() so it sees the post-bounce file model rather than the stale
pre-refresh one — without this it would race the files bounce queued just
above it.
Bouncing the write opens a hazard the old synchronous write didn't have:
if the user switches repos while this refresh is in flight, the queued
closure would fire after resetState has replaced the model with a fresh
one for the new repo, silently overwriting it with the previous repo's
files. Guard against this with a repo generation: resetState bumps a
counter on every switch, refreshStateFiles captures it before its git
work, and onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged drops the bounce if the generation
has moved on. This one helper is the general mechanism the remaining
scopes' bounces will use too; the same guard covers the rebase-continue
prompt, which reads Model.Files right after.
A generation counter, not a comparison of the *Model pointer: switching
away from and back to a repo reuses that repo's cached state (the same
Model pointer), which a pointer comparison would wrongly accept even
though the in-flight data is stale.
PromptToContinueRebase's Then callback (previous commit) now gets an
explanatory comment, since this is the commit that makes it necessary.
The explicit locking around these writes (RefreshingFilesMutex in
refreshFilesAndSubmodules, FileTreeViewModel.RWMutex around the write in
refreshStateFiles) is left in place for now even though it's becoming
redundant, to keep this commit focused on the bounce itself; it's removed
next.

Move the pty master behind a small interface (Read/Write/Close/Resize),
and push the actual startup into a platform-specific StartPty function
in pkg/commands/oscommands. The Unix implementation still uses
creack/pty; the Windows implementation is a stub that returns
ErrPtyUnsupported, at which point newPtyTask falls back to a plain cmd
task — matching the existing Windows behavior.
The primitive lives in oscommands rather than pkg/gui because the
cmd_obj_runner pty handler (also in oscommands) is going to consume it
too, and tasks → oscommands is the existing dependency direction.
Same observable behavior on every platform; this just carves out a seam
for a real ConPTY implementation on Windows.

When conflicts of an in-progress rebase/merge/cherry-pick/revert are
resolved, lazygit pops up a prompt offering to continue it. This is
helpful when you started the operation in lazygit and resolved the
conflicts in your editor. But it's confusing when the operation was
started outside lazygit — e.g. by a coding agent in another terminal
that resolves the conflicts but hasn't continued yet because it's still
running tests or fixing the build. lazygit would then prompt unbidden.
Track whether the in-progress operation was started from within lazygit,
and only show the prompt in that case. We record this right after running
a merge/rebase step (in CheckMergeOrRebaseWithRefreshOptions, the
subprocess branch of genericMergeCommand, and the custom-command
conflict path), and clear it whenever a refresh observes that no
operation is in progress — which also handles an operation that was
finished or aborted externally.
The conflict-resolution tests start their operation by running git
directly (not through lazygit's UI), so they call the new test helper
Common.PretendMergeOrRebaseStartedInLazygit to have lazygit treat the
operation as its own and still get the prompt.

When the config file changes and lazygit regains focus it reloads the
config, but the side panel window assignments, default views, tab
strips, and z-order were only ever set up on repo entry, so a changed
sidePanels wouldn't take effect until restart. Re-apply it from the
reload path: reassign windows and default views and restore each panel's
default tab.
The focused panel needs care: resetting it to its default tab would
leave the focused tab hidden behind that default tab, so the panel looks
unfocused even though its tab is selected. Re-focus the current context
so its tab stays shown and highlighted; only when the new config hides
the focused panel entirely do we move focus to the default side panel.
Tab strips are already refreshed via configureViewProperties.
Replace the hard-coded side panel order, tab groupings, and window
assignments with values resolved from the gui.sidePanels config. The panel
order (SideWindows and the layout boxes), the tab strips (viewTabMap), the
per-context window names, each window's default view, and the jump-label
groups all now come from the config rather than from five separate
hard-coded lists.
A panel's window name is the name of its first tab, and panels not listed
in the config get their own window name so their views stay hidden instead
of overlapping a visible panel. Three small lookups translate config names
into views, tab titles, and contexts; a test keeps them in sync with the
set of valid names. The lookups are split this way (rather than one
resolver) because configureViewProperties runs before the context tree
exists, so the title/view lookups must not depend on it.
The config is applied to a repo's contexts via applySidePanelConfig on
every repo entry, including the cached-repo path: a repo's per-repo config
can differ from the previously visited one's, so each repo's contexts must
be (re)assigned from its own config rather than kept from when they were
first built.
With the default config this reproduces today's layout exactly.

Add a 2-second background poll that calls Status.RefsSnapshot and
compares against the snapshot stored at the end of the last refs-
touching refresh. On a diff, trigger a full refresh — same scope as the
focus-in handler, because once we know something changed externally
we can't be sure what (an agent might have created a worktree or
stashed something alongside the commit we detected).
Refresh runs in SYNC mode because goEvery already serializes iterations
via <-done: a slow refresh delays the next tick naturally instead of
letting work stack. The post-refresh hook from the previous commit
updates the snapshot, so in-app commands don't cause the next poll to
spuriously re-fire.
Disabled in the integration test config, like autoRefresh and autoFetch,
because demo replays make repo changes throughout the run; at 2-second
cadence the resulting full refreshes compete with the demo's own
choreography and push some demos past their 40-second timeout.
Also list the two new config keys in checkForChangedConfigsThatDontAutoReload
so a config edit warns the user that lazygit needs a restart.
Until now every keybinding config field was a plain string. That meant a user
couldn't ask for two keys to invoke a command — the config silently accepted
only one form.
Convert every string-typed field across all 13 KeybindingXxxConfig structs to
Keybinding so the union type extends to every command. Defaults wrap their
single-key value in Keybinding{...} so the generated Config.md still renders one
scalar key per binding.
The alt fields keep their separate Binding registrations for now: this commit
does not yet introduce the merge mechanism that folds them into the main field —
that comes in a follow-up. Consumers previously calling opts.GetKeys on a string
field now call opts.GetKeys on the Keybinding, or take .String() / Keys[0] where
a single value is needed.
Adds a Keybinding.String helper for rendering, schema-generator work that
inlines the Keybinding union into each consuming property, and a unit test
covering the user-facing scalar/sequence YAML forms for quit.
This didn't cause a bug so far because switching repos always happens from
within an OnWaitingStatus, so the spinner would take care of calling layout and
draw. However, later in this branch we are going to optimize the spinner so that
it no longer calls layout, at which point this would break, so make sure we
rerender at the point where it's needed.
I copied all files except dot files (.github and .gitignore), the _examples
folder, and go.mod/go.sum.
At some point we may want to copy the files back to the gocui repo when other
clients (e.g. lazydocker) want to use the newer versions of them.
