While the key escape sequences are xterm-specific, they are only the
default and preliminary provision has been made for overriding them.
However, no override mechanism has been implemented beyond using dynamic
table lookup.
This doesn't fix the problem of lost events: that seems to be inside
ncurses. I've done some investigations, and it seems xterm sends
separate events for motion and pre/release (which have current coords),
in both 1003 and 1006 modes. No idea what ncurses is doing (does it even
handle 1003 properly?), and it requires the use of xterm-1006 for it to
use 1006 mode (which is nice in that it disambiguates button releases
and allows for huge terminals (not that I would use such normally)).
Guess I've got some side-work cut out for me :P
Doesn't have timestamps at this stage, but otherwise it reflects the
event system I had in my old text UI which was heavily based on
TurboVision. TV is pretty good (after looking at things a bit closer I
found it wasn't as deep as I thought), and better yet, Borland released
it to the public domain 23 years ago! (wish I'd known that).
Anyway, this commit gets something happening on the screen, even though
the current hierarchy is still a mess.
This is horrible, doesn't work, isn't really the direction I want to go
(that became apparent while implementing Screen's handleEvent) and
crashes anyway (Array and not-id...)
*sigh*
Still, this does have some good stuff in it, and it pushed qfcc along
some more.
This fixes the dependency issues between qwaq and ruamoko. qwaq is
actually older than ruamoko. That little language feature test has come
a long way.
However, I'm considering moving to non-recursive make, but...
