Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libtermkey Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : Paul Evans <leon...@leonerd.org.uk> * URL : http://www.leonerd.org.uk/code/libtermkey/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : Process keypress events in terminal 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. It provides the following features: .. * Follows terminfo for every sequence listed there, only falling back on other methods to deal with unrecognised input. * Recognises special keys (such as arrow and function keys), including "modified" keys like Ctrl-Left. * Recognises XTerm-style mouse position/button reporting. * MIT licenced to allow almost all projects to use it; both Open Source and Commercial. * Implemented in a small handfull of .c files which allows direct embedding in a larger application, if a shared library is not desired. * Small API - just three functions are needed in simple common cases. * Both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) APIs are supported. ----- I'm planning to start submitting various patches to such software as irssi and mutt, to allow them to use this library instead for improved keyboard input, so having it already packaged in debian would be a good prerequisite, and hopefully gain a little more traction in having such patches accepted. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
