Hi I'm missing a feature which would allow me to define a regular expression pattern that would be matched to decide what content on screen is a prompt and what is not for NXPROMPT/PRPROMPT commands. This would most likely be defined in brltty.conf.
Currently I think that when using the above mentioned commands, brltty uses whatever there is on the currently displayed line (from the beginning up to the first space) as the prompt string which it then compares to beginnings of other lines. This approach does not work, if the prompt does not end in a space, or if the prompt is constantly changing (e.g. if it displays a line number, time, exit status of last process, etc.). Therefore I wish that a user-defined regex could be matched against screen content to decide whether something is a prompt or not. The default prompt could be set to be something like "^[^ ]+ " to match current behaviour, or something more complicated, e.g. "^[^ >]*[ >]". Thank you all for your input! -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
