Follow-up Comment #4, bug #12223 (project mc): > One person opines that a fix is impossible, and this is reason for an immediate close/wontfix? > don't you think that the practical impossibility to fix it warrants this step? ;)
> Curses isn't necessarily the end of console development. > this has nothing to do with curses. it's a fundamental problem of ttys. the "fix" would be specific to particular environments, therefore making behavior inconsistent (e.g., remote tty logins have absolutely no way to find out the modifier state (unless you find a terminal that has a magic escape sequence for it)). therefore nobody is going to implement it - and this is just what "won't fix" means. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=12223> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
