/* #define BACKSPACE 127 */
#define BACKSPACE 8
while((c=wgetch(w3)) != NEWLINE) {
wmove(w3, W3LEN-1, input->len + 1);
if (c == BACKSPACE && input->len > 2) {
g_string_truncate(input, input->len - 1);
wmove(w3, W3LEN-1, input->len + 1);
} else if (c == CONTROL_U) {
g_string_assign(input, "> ");
wmove(w3, W3LEN-1, input->len );
}
for X11/xterms, the backspace key is keycode 8. for console it's 127.
i'd like for this program to work in console as well as xterm without
changing the #define and recompiling the program.
is there any way to deal with this other than making the backspace
keycode into a global variable (or worse, passing its value to every
function that needs it)?
