Enum AltScreenMode 

pub enum AltScreenMode {
    Auto,
    Always,
    Never,
}

Controls whether the TUI uses the terminal’s alternate screen buffer.

Background: The alternate screen buffer provides a cleaner fullscreen experience without polluting the terminal’s scrollback history. However, it conflicts with terminal multiplexers like Zellij that strictly follow the xterm specification, which defines that alternate screen buffers should not have scrollback.

Zellij’s behavior: Zellij intentionally disables scrollback in alternate screen mode (see https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/1032) to comply with the xterm spec. This is by design and not configurable in Zellij—there is no option to enable scrollback in alternate screen mode.

Solution: This setting provides a pragmatic workaround:

• auto (default): Automatically detect the terminal multiplexer. If running in Zellij, disable alternate screen to preserve scrollback. Enable it everywhere else.
• always: Always use alternate screen mode (original behavior before this fix).
• never: Never use alternate screen mode. Runs in inline mode, preserving scrollback in all multiplexers.

The CLI flag --no-alt-screen can override this setting at runtime.

Variants

Auto

Auto-detect: disable alternate screen in Zellij, enable elsewhere.

Always

Always use alternate screen (original behavior).

Never

Never use alternate screen (inline mode only).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for AltScreenMode

fn clone(&self) -> AltScreenMode

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for AltScreenMode

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for AltScreenMode

fn default() -> AltScreenMode

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for AltScreenMode

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for AltScreenMode

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl JsonSchema for AltScreenMode

fn schema_name() -> String

The name of the generated JSON Schema.

fn schema_id() -> Cow<'static, str>

Returns a string that uniquely identifies the schema produced by this type.

fn json_schema(generator: &mut SchemaGenerator) -> Schema

Generates a JSON Schema for this type.

fn is_referenceable() -> bool

Whether JSON Schemas generated for this type should be re-used where possible using the $ref keyword.

impl PartialEq for AltScreenMode

fn eq(&self, other: &AltScreenMode) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for AltScreenMode

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl TS for AltScreenMode

type WithoutGenerics = AltScreenMode

If this type does not have generic parameters, then WithoutGenerics should just be Self. If the type does have generic parameters, then all generic parameters must be replaced with a dummy type, e.g ts_rs::Dummy or (). The only requirement for these dummy types is that EXPORT_TO must be None.

type OptionInnerType = AltScreenMode

If the implementing type is std::option::Option<T>, then this associated type is set to T. All other implementations of TS should set this type to Self instead.

fn ident() -> String

Identifier of this type, excluding generic parameters.

fn docs() -> Option<String>

JSDoc comment to describe this type in TypeScript - when TS is derived, docs are automatically read from your doc comments or #[doc = ".."] attributes

fn name() -> String

Name of this type in TypeScript, including generic parameters

fn decl_concrete() -> String

Declaration of this type using the supplied generic arguments. The resulting TypeScript definition will not be generic. For that, see TS::decl(). If this type is not generic, then this function is equivalent to TS::decl().

fn decl() -> String

Declaration of this type, e.g. type User = { user_id: number, ... }. This function will panic if the type has no declaration.

fn inline() -> String

Formats this types definition in TypeScript, e.g { user_id: number }. This function will panic if the type cannot be inlined.

fn inline_flattened() -> String

Flatten a type declaration.
This function will panic if the type cannot be flattened.

fn visit_generics(v: &mut impl TypeVisitor)

where Self: 'static,

Iterates over all type parameters of this type.

fn output_path() -> Option<PathBuf>

Returns the output path to where T should be exported.
The returned path does not include the base directory from TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR.

fn visit_dependencies(v: &mut impl TypeVisitor)

where Self: 'static,

Iterates over all dependency of this type.

fn dependencies() -> Vec<Dependency>

where Self: 'static,

Resolves all dependencies of this type recursively.

fn export() -> Result<(), ExportError>

where Self: 'static,

Manually export this type to the filesystem. To export this type together with all of its dependencies, use TS::export_all.

fn export_all() -> Result<(), ExportError>

where Self: 'static,

Manually export this type to the filesystem, together with all of its dependencies.
To export only this type, without its dependencies, use TS::export.

fn export_all_to(out_dir: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<(), ExportError>

where Self: 'static,

Manually export this type into the given directory, together with all of its dependencies.
To export only this type, without its dependencies, use TS::export.

fn export_to_string() -> Result<String, ExportError>

where Self: 'static,

Manually generate bindings for this type, returning a String.
This function does not format the output, even if the format feature is enabled.

fn default_output_path() -> Option<PathBuf>

Returns the output path to where T should be exported.
