Turn ligatures off with a Ligatures setting, in the shell that shapes text
The SDL shell shapes words with HarfBuzz, so a font's `->` and `!=` draw as ligatures, and there was no way to have the plain glyphs back short of changing font. `Ligatures` is a toggle, on by default; off, no cell goes to the shaper and every cell draws its own glyph, exactly as a font without ligatures does. It exists only where it means something. A new `ligatures` capability, true for the gui shell alone, gates it like Font and WindowOpacity are gated: it is not a builtin elsewhere, has no leader path, and Config does not list it, rather than print a row the TTY could never change. macOS draws CoreText ligatures of its own, but nothing there reads the setting, so it stays off there. The table check that kept every toggle unconditional now lets the ligatures toggle, and only it, carry a capability, and requires that it carry `ligatures`; every other setting's rule is as it was. The gui keeps the setting beside its text caches, which were resolved under it: when the core's value changes, the per-codepoint cells (which record whether a cell is shaped) and the shaped words are dropped, and the frame the toggle asked for draws every cell again. The atlas keeps its glyphs: plain ones draw either way, and a ligature's strip is reused when it comes back. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
