This is the same as the previous FUNKY_XTERM mode if you don't press
any modifier keys, but now Shift or Ctrl or Alt with function keys
adds an extra bitmap parameter. The bitmaps are the same as the ones
used by the new SHARROW_BITMAP arrow key mode.
As well as affecting the bitmap field in the escape sequence, it was
_also_ having its otherwise standard effect of prefixing Esc to the
whole sequence. It shouldn't do both.
This commit introduces a new config option for how to handle shifted
arrow keys.
In the default mode (SHARROW_APPLICATION), we do what we've always
done: Ctrl flips the arrow keys between sending their most usual
escape sequences (ESC [ A ... ESC [ D) and sending the 'application
cursor keys' sequences (ESC O A ... ESC O D). Whichever of those modes
is currently configured, Ctrl+arrow sends the other one.
In the new mode (SHARROW_BITMAP), application cursor key mode is
unaffected by any shift keys, but the default sequences acquire two
numeric arguments. The first argument is 1 (reflecting the fact that a
shifted arrow key still notionally moves just 1 character cell); the
second is the bitmap (1 for Shift) + (2 for Alt) + (4 for Ctrl),
offset by 1. (Except that if _none_ of those modifiers is pressed,
both numeric arguments are simply omitted.)
The new bitmap mode is what current xterm generates, and also what
Windows ConPTY seems to expect. If you start an ordinary Command
Prompt and launch into WSL, those are the sequences it will generate
for shifted arrow keys; conversely, if you run a Command Prompt within
a ConPTY, then these sequences for Ctrl+arrow will have the effect you
expect in cmd.exe command-line editing (going backward or forward a
word). For that reason, I enable this mode unconditionally when
launching Windows pterm.
While fixing the previous commit I noticed that window titles don't
actually _work_ properly if you change the terminal character set,
because the text accumulated in the OSC string buffer is sent to the
TermWin as raw bytes, with no indication of what character set it
should interpret them as. You might get lucky if you happened to
choose the right charset (in particular, UTF-8 is a common default),
but if you change the charset half way through a run, then there's
certainly no way the frontend will know to interpret two window titles
sent before and after the change in two different charsets.
So, now win_set_title() and win_set_icon_title() both include a
codepage parameter along with the byte string, and it's up to them to
translate the provided window title from that encoding to whatever the
local window system expects to receive.
On Windows, that's wide-string Unicode, so we can just use the
existing dup_mb_to_wc utility function. But in GTK, it's UTF-8, so I
had to write an extra utility function to encode a wide string as
UTF-8.
When the terminal is in UTF-8 mode, we accumulate UTF-8 text normally
in the OSC string buffer - but the byte 0x9C is interpreted as the C1
control character String Terminator, which terminates the OSC
sequence. That's not really what you want in UTF-8 mode, because 0x9C
is also a perfectly normal UTF-8 continuation character. For example,
you'd expect this to set the window title to "FÜNF":
echo -ne '\033]0;FÜNF\007'
but in fact, by the sheer chance that Ü is encoded with an 0x9C byte,
you get a window title consisting of "F" followed by an illegal-
encoding marker, and the OSC sequence is terminated abruptly so that
the trailing 'NF' is printed normally to the terminal and then the BEL
generates a beep.
Now, in UTF-8 mode, we only support the C1 control for ST if it
appears in the form of the proper UTF-8 encoding of U+009C. So that
example now 'works', at least in the sense that the terminal considers
the OSC sequence to terminate where the sender expected it to
terminate.
Another case where we interpret 0x9C inappropriately as ST is if the
terminal is in a single-byte character set in which that character is
a printing one. In CP437, for example, you can't set a window title
containing a pound sign, because its encoding is 0x9C.
This commit by itself doesn't make those window titles _work_, in the
sense of coming out looking right. They just mean that the OSC
sequence is not terminated at the wrong place. The actual title
rendering will be fixed in the next commit.
The input length field is now a size_t rather than an int, on general
principles. The return value is now void (we weren't using the
previous return value at all). And we now require the client to have
previously allocated a BidiContext, which will allow allocated storage
to be reused between runs, saving a lot of churn on malloc.
(However, the current BidiContext doesn't contain anything
interesting. I could have moved the existing mallocs into it, but
there's no point, since I'm about to rewrite the whole thing anyway.)
This contains terminal.c, bidi.c (formerly minibidi.c), and
terminal.h. I'm about to make a couple more bidi-related source files,
so it seems worth starting by making a place to put them that won't be
cluttering up the top level.
