hmm. Arguing takes time. I'm working on several programs, with time reserved for ncurses (usually) on Saturdays. On ncurses, my current focus is refactoring divergent approaches to the Windows port. That takes several steps. A one-step patch to change thousands of lines doesn't happen here. This coming weekend, I'll have less time available (looks like Saturday's preempted); I don't expect to complete that refactoring immediately. Once that's done, I'll investigate PuTTY, to determine when various features actually worked, and document those. After that, I'll pick through the various things you've suggested, to see which are improvements, and which are preferences. For the latter, those which interfere with existing use are something that others can customize. > Jakub > > > st 3. 9. 2025 v 0:11 odesílatel Thomas Dickey <[email protected]> napsal: > > > On Tue, Sep 02, 2025 at 10:57:22PM +0200, Jakub Horký wrote: > > > út 2. 9. 2025 v 11:30 odesílatel Thomas Dickey <[email protected]> napsal: > > > > > > > On Mon, Sep 01, 2025 at 01:18:21PM +0200, Jakub Horký wrote: > > > > > po 1. 9. 2025 v 2:17 odesílatel Thomas Dickey <[email protected]> > > napsal: > > > > > > > > > > > On Sun, Aug 31, 2025 at 01:53:44PM -0400, Thomas Dickey wrote: > > > > > > > On Sun, Aug 31, 2025 at 02:54:16PM +0200, Jakub Horký wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I've made several fixes in terminfo: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > *1) Abandon ancient vt100+keypad mapping for "cross" keypad > > keys, > > > > unify > > > > > > > > vt100+keypad and vt220+keypad, and include extended caps for > > them* > > > > > > > > > > > > by the way, extended caps aren't visible to termcap users, and > > moving > > > > > > the standard (not the extended) caps around would impact them. > > > > > > > > > > > > For example, vim (noting that it has builtin stuff, but still a > > > > problem) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I know, but even termcap-based apps can't rely on termcap if it gives > > > > them > > > > > malformed cap definitions for some random subset of terminals.
