In our default mode (roughly equivalent to XTerm’s modifyOtherKeys=1),
alt-tab now emits ESC-tab instead of CSI 27;3;9~.
When modifyOtherKeys=2 is enabled (CSI >4;2m), alt-tab emits the “old”
CSI 27 escape.
This better matches XTerm’s behavior.
Note that other alt-tab combos are ambiguous in XTerm, and thus they
are left unchanged here (i.e. we keep emitting CSI 27 escapes for
them).
Closes#900
Similar to modifyOtherKeys=1 (foot’s default, and only, mode), except
that:
* All modifiers (and not just Ctrl) generate \E[27;m;n~ escapes
* Regular keys (with modifiers) also generate \E[27;m;n~ escapes (for
example, C-h no longer generates ^H, but \E[27;5;104~)
For our keymap based lookups, this is handled by adding
MOD_MODIFY_OTHER_KEYS_STATE<N> variants.
For “generic” keys, we simply adjust the conditions for when to emit a
\E[27;m;n~ escape - the only requirement is that at least one modifier
is active.
Shift+Tab is an odd bird in XKB; it produces a shifted variant of tab,
ISO_Left_Tab, with Shift being a consumed modifier.
From a terminal perspective, Tab and ISO_Left_Tab are the same key,
with Shift+Tab generating ‘CSI Z’, and all other combos generating a
‘CSI 27;mods;9~’ escape.
Before, when we didn’t filter out consumed modifiers, we could simply
re-use the keymap for Tab when translating ISO_Left_Tab.
This is no longer possible, since shift has been filtered out. As a
result, Shift+Tab no longer generated ‘CSI Z’, but ‘\t’. I.e as if
shift wasn’t being pressed.
This patch adds a separate keymap table for ISO_Left_Tab. It’s MOD_ANY
entry corresponds to Shift+Tab, and emits ‘CSI Z’. All its other
entries *exclude* shift (since it has been consumed), *but*, the
encoded modifier (in the escape sequences) *include* shift.
All alt+return combos mapped to the same escape sequence as alt+return
itself.
With this patch, alt+<mod(s)>+return map to a standard ‘CSI 27;x;13~’
sequence.
With XKB, Shift+Tab maps to XKB_KEY_ISO_Left_Tab, not
XKB_Key_Tab. Previously, we had two different lookup tables for the
two.
The tab table was correctly populated, while the ISO-left tab
wasn’t. As a result, all Shift+Tab combos (except Shift+Tab itself)
was wrong, and resulted in the same escape sequence as Shift+Tab.
Fix by using the same table for both tab and ISO-left tab.
Closes#210
Tab is one of the keys included in our "otherModifierKeys"
implementation. However, since the key sym falls outside the checks
required to trigger it, special case it and implement its sequences as
a table.
Backspace now emits DEL for all non-ctrl modifier combos, and BS for
all ctrl modifier combos.
The alt modifier prefixes DEL/BS with ESC.
This also removes my own hack of mapping ctrl+backspace to
alt+backspace.
Describe backspace behavior in both the README and the man page.
TODO: implement DECBKM to allow applications to toggle the backspace
behavior.
