The completion candidates were not being cleaned up properly if the Enter
key was pressed while in complete mode. This could lead to both candidates
and any program output being mixed on the screen. Cleanly exit complete mode
and redraw when the Enter is pressed while in complete mode.
Main Features:
- If there are too many candidates returned by the completer,
completemode and completeselectmode did not work properly.
Similar to the bash completion pager, list candidates and
offer "--More--" on the end of each page. User can select
" ", "y" or "Y" to keep listing or "q", "Q", "n", "N" to
stop listing. When paging completes, we also exit out of
completion mode.
- Added aggregate completion when entering completeselectmode
where the candiddates dwindle down sharing a larger common
prefix. This makes typing a little faster than having to
select. More bash-like behaviour.
Other Fixes:
- Fix various crashes where candidates are too wide for the
width of the screen and causes division by zero.
- Fix crash with wide (Asian characters) in completion.
- Streamline redrawing as CompleteRefresh was called too
often.
- Fix crashes around ctrl-a and ctrl-b in select mode when
candidates don't fit on a line
- Fix prev/next candidates in select mode when candidates
don't fit on a line
- Fix crash when ctrl-k was pressed in select mode. This
caused us to exitselectmode which cleaned up all the data
but left us in complete mode such that if CompleteRefresh
was callled directly, the data was not initialized.
- Fix complete and select mode redraw issues when candidates
did not fit on one line.
- Fix cursor position issues after CompleteRefresh especially
if the prompt and buffer also went over 1 line.
- Fix redraw issue where exiting completion mode using
certain key presses leaves candidates on the screen.
Fixes for Windows:
- Use window size for visible height/width instead of buffer size
- Adjust for Window's EOL behaviour.
Notes:
- Added Height info to different structures as the decision to
page or not required height information.
- Added OnSizeChange(). Didn't know if I could get rid of the
OnWidthChange()? Would be nice to remove the Width stuff and
just have Size (width + height info).
Introduce a new operation.isPrompting field which is true from when a
prompt has been written until data is returned to the caller.
When Write is called on the wrapWriter to write to stdout or stderr,
check if we are currently prompting the user for input and if so
clean up the prompt and write the data before redrawing the
prompt at its new location after the written data.
Previously terminal.IsReading() was used for this, but this had various
race conditions and it was not correct to check this field to make
prompt and buffer redrawing decisions. In turn, I removed all the
isReading code also. The old isReading() check was actually checking
if the terminal goroutine was actively waiting for more input.
- Don't overwrite existing text on same line as the prompt
- Don't refresh screen when simply appending characters to buffer
- Don't refresh screen unnessarily when pressing enter key
- Handle prompts longer than screen width.
- Fix wide characters in prompt
- Fix screen edge issue when next character is wide.
- Fix screen edge issue for masked characters
- Fix narrow masked characteter, masking wide input
- Fix wide masked character, masking narrow input
- Reworked backspacesequence for index to use same algorithm as used
for lineedge and reduce the control sequences to 2.
- Reworked cleanup to incorporate initial cursor column position
and avoid overwriting existing text as well as simplifying the
control sequences used.
- Fixed double width character detection and updated unit tests
- Handle emoji in text or prompts.
- Implement windows ANSI absolute horizonal position ansi code.
- Get windows cursor position directly and don't send ansi DSR code
- Don't write out empty mask runes
- Cleanup - removed unused hadCLean variable
Normally the terminal uses CSI escape sequences when the UP, DOWN,
LEFT, RIGHT and HOME, END keys are pressed. These look like the
following ESC [ A etc, where ESC [ is the CSI sequence.
xterm and other terminals however can generate an alternative
escape sequence called SS3 if in the application keypad mode.
This sequence is ESC O A etc.
Bash readline understands both modes so nowadays you rarely
see OA being printed when you press the up arrow while the terminal
is using the keypad mode. readline currently does not understand
these sequences.
To test this fix, I used an xterm and put it in keypad mode
using the command "tput smkx". Then I started the readline-demo
and tried using arrow keys. Without this fix, OA is printed when
I press up. With this fix, readline fetches the previous command
as per regular mode. After testing you can escape back to
regular mode using "tput rmkx".
This commit adds support for AIX operating system.
- move term_solaris.go to term_nosyscall6.go. AIX like solaris doesn't
provide syscall.Syscall6 and must rely on x/sys/unix in order to perform
syscalls.
- This patch won't work with versions prior to 1.13 because it needs
some constants added by https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/171339.
The display width will not be right if there have Chinese characters in the display. It will overflow the line, if the Chinese characters are at the end of a line. And makes "lines" value not the right number of line rows, which makes "239: fmt.Fprintf" produce wrong output.
* Expose RuneBuffer.Set through Operation's API
This allows a user to prefill a line before the user is given a prompt,
so that you can provide a default, user-editable input line.
* Add a Instance.ReadlineWithDefault API method
This will pre-fill the Operation.RuneBuffer with text before prompting
the user, and provide her with a method to edit the provided default.
* Add support for solaris
* Change state to handle system dependent termios type.
* Move syscalls to get and set termios to functions in files only built
for respective platforms.
* Create `term_unix.go` go file built on all supported unices except
solaris with types and functions valid for all of them.
* Change `MakeRaw` to set VMIN and VTIME to default values.
Fixes#95.
* Fix error handling
Doing the string comparison could be improved, but at least we should
return an error, if it is not "errno 0".
usql is a new project that is making extensive use of readline. usql is
roughly 3 days old, and already has over 1100 stars. This change adds
usql to the README.md and reorders projects listed in the "Repos using
readline" section.
The calculation to determine how many spaces to use when padding
columns wasn't taking into account the length of the 'same' portion of
the completions and was only using the length of the completion
itself. This frequently caused the printed completions to wrap, making
the completion list much harder to read.
It is possible for `opHistory.Rewrite` to be called from
`opHistory.historyUpdatePath`. This is problematic, because both methods
grab a lock, and Mutexes in go are not reentrant. This change pulls out
the logic in Rewrite into `opHistory.rewriteLocked`, and retains the
public facing method.
