What I had in mind is:
TERM=vt100, or whatever can be used to select the terminal. People
are used to this from the UNIX commandline. Besides that, we prefer
having variables in GRUB instead of commands.
I was wondering if it would be easier to set terminfo descriptions
using variables as well. For example:
set vt100='cub=\E[%p1%dD, cub1=^H, cud=\E[%p1%dB, cud1=^J'
(I just used some random stuff, but I assume you get the idea)
After that:
set TERM=vt100
That will read and parse the vt100 variable. We can add several
pre-defined variables.
Hopefully my explanation makes sense.
This makes sense. I do not like allowing TERM to be set to just any
variable name (set TERM=PROMPT), but as this is really in the users
configuration space, I suppose we can place the requirement on the user
to issue sane assignments, and if they do not, it is their own fault,
provided I document it well.
I'm sorry for my terrible English.
Actually, I cannot tell it is not your native language from your writing.
I will make your suggested changes and submit another patch to the list
as soon as I have time again.
Thanks!
