/* * To the extent that (a) it is convenient and (b) that I have completed * development of this code, the behaviour of the Windowed interface in * FXTerminal.cpp and of the console mode one in termed.c are compatible. * The key-bindings are intended to be "emacs-like" so they support command * to move backwards and forwards by characters and words, to delete * characters or words, to adjust case and to scan up and down through a * history. More elaborate variants on this idea would permit the user to * re-assign key-bindings. I have not implemented that at all. Partly to * try to keep my code simple and partly because I feel customised key- * bindings are a source of terrible confusion. * * Because of my intended use for this code I have allocated some keys to * menu shortcuts that will not be relevant to other people but that are * useful to me. NOt all keys can and not all keys do work under both * FXTerminal and termed environments. I annotate this key-list with a * ($) for things not active under FXTerminal and with (!) for not active * or incomplete under termed. * * * * KEYBOARD HANDLING * * * Key-bindings that I hope to make work in both terminal and windowed mode, * on both Unix/Linux, Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh. * * Note that ALT can be achieved either by holding the ALT key at the * same time as the listed key, or by pressing ESC before the key. * * ALT takes priority over SHIFT, and Control takes priority over ALT so * that a character is only treated as having one attribute. If it has none * it just inserts itself. * * Where I put a "-" in this table it means that I do not define the meaning * of the keystroke. In the short term at least that will either cause the * keystroke to be ignored, inserted, or treated the same way as the * corresponding character without Control or ALT. In the longer term I may * assign behaviours to some of those keys. I also want to reserve the * possibility of making keys with both Control and ALT have yet different * effects. * *Key Control ALT * * @ Set Mark ($!) - (note this key is not * always detected!) * A To beginning - (also Home key) * B Back char Back word (also left arrow key) * C ^C interrupt Capitalise word * D Delete forward Delete word (also the Delete key) * Also ^D before any other input on a line sends EOF * E To end [Edit menu] (!)
