[feature request] configurable window border about vtm HOT 8 CLOSED

The /config/appearance/defaults/bordersz option is currently not used by anything, and it can be adapted for this purpose. This will be the size in cells of the side borders of the window.

There is also an option ESC [ 30 : <n> p to set horizontal scrolling indents, but this does not solve the copying issue. Perhaps these options can be combined to make things more consistent. I will think about how to implement this wisely.

Additionally, I think a one-shot toggle on the vtm terminal side would be useful for selecting and copying text when mouse tracking is active.

Indeed.

Speaking of which, I noticed that for a shell window, switching TerminalWrapMode/TerminalSelectionMode/TerminalCwdSync will moves the focus to the input line. When selection mode is disabled, I have to re-scroll back to find the text I'v found in the scrollback buffer after clicking the TerminalSelectionMode toggle.

I will fix this inappropriate behavior. The scroll position should not be reset when pressing menu buttons related to text selection.

I have added a side border option config/term/layout/border (=0 by default):

<config>
    <term>
        <layout>
            <oversize=0 opacity=0xC0/>  <!-- Scrollback horizontal (left and right) oversize. (for convenient horizontal scrolling). -->
            <border=1/>                 <!-- Viewport's left and right border. -->
        </layout>
    </term>
</config>

• config/term/fields section renamed to config/term/layout;
• config/term/fields/size option renamed to the config/term/layout/oversize section;
• config/term/fields/lucent option renamed to config/term/layout/oversize/opacity;

This works fine for me, but the window title seems to be missing when config/menu/wide is on in the v0.9.79 release.

Oops, I changed the calculation of the basis for nested objects and it went wrong. I will fix it. Thanks for the feedback!

I fixed the wide taskbar layout.
