Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.2.4-1 Severity: minor Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@mirbsd.de
alsamixer is terminated, according to its manual page, by pressing Esc then pressing q (the manpage writes this as Alt-q but there is no such thing as an Alt key on Unix). alsamixer will also terminate on double Esc but not “eat” the second Esc, leaving it for the shell, which is very annoying (especially as Esc+Esc or Esc+wait 2 seconds is the way to terminate similar applications, and they *do* eat it). ‘q’ does things to the controls, so it is out. I would like to ask for another way to exit alsamixer to be added, one that is actually sensible for a TUI program. It’s too bad that both q and x are already used. That new sensible way should also replace the “Esc: Exit” in the upper-right corner *ESPECIALLY* as that’s not correct any more anyway. It should *NOT* be an F-key as those are also not very portable among Unicēs. Additionally I ask that Esc+Esc is fully eaten. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages alsa-utils depends on: ii kmod 28-1 ii libasound2 1.2.4-1.1 ii libatopology2 1.2.4-1.1 ii libc6 2.31-9 ii libfftw3-single3 3.3.8-2 ii libncursesw6 6.2+20201114-2 ii libsamplerate0 0.1.9-2 ii libtinfo6 6.2+20201114-2 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 alsa-utils recommends no packages.
