Comment #4 by Brian G: Hi I am using the terminal as a separate front end for my application, eventually I will support access to a number of different systems, including rs232 interface for switches , I am using the terminal form to display the output. The software establishes the connection, rs232 or ssh, and manages the interface with scripts for control. I am using the Print interface to display the output and the key interface to get the keystrokes. I am managing the back end in my application. It would be very helpful to be able to query the display interface to discover the current rows and columns. The print interface provides good terminal support for output. And is very useful. It would simplify many different application of this component to be able to query the dimensions of the screen. Many of the remote system employ text graphics which fail if I don’t resize the remote terminals, straight terminal mode works fine as it just spits out line after line of text, The resize must be managed by my back end. Thanks for your time and consideration, this addition would make the terminal very much more flexible. Also where can I find some more information regarding the key filters as ALT-anything prints a debug console message that they are not supported. many of the graphic terminal interfaces allow shortcut key sequences.
