* Package name : libtermkey Version : 0.17 Upstream Author : Paul Evans <leon...@leonerd.org.uk> * URL : http://www.leonerd.org.uk/code/libtermkey/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : library for processing keyboard input from terminal-based programs This library allows easy processing of keyboard entry from terminal-based programs. It handles all the necessary logic to recognise special keys, UTF-8 combining, and so on, with a simple interface. why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for another package? - Dependency for Neovim if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it compare? - Quoting from upstream in regard to a comparison with terminfo This library uses the terminfo database for the terminal type given by $TERM as a first attempt to convert raw incoming bytes into symbolic keypress events. If this translation fails, and the terminal type is known to be one that uses xterm's generic CSI scheme for representing modified keypresses (e.g. xterm), then the sequence is interpreted according to xterm's rules. Finally, if all of these fail, the raw bytes will be presented as they are. how do you plan to maintain it? - collab-maint git, co-maintainers welcome -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
