- Add 'int Fl_Terminal::handle_unknown_char(int drow, int dcol)'
to write the "unknown" character to the intended display position.
- Define Fl_Terminal::unknown_char as a static variable to avoid
redundancy. In the future this might be overridden by users.
Some old platforms (NetBSD, AIX) implement the common stdio "putchar()"
function as a global macro which poisons the global namespace, preventing
all C and C++ programs from using "putchar()" as a function or method.
There was a long thread about this in fltk.coredev during the period
Mar 25 2024 ~ Apr 4 2024, subject "RFC: Fl_Terminal::putchar() in public API"
as to why we have no choice but to not use putchar() as a method name.
* Improve horizontal interactive selection
* Using half-character positions to implement selection
similar to Fl_Input.
* Add word and line selection
* Fix vertical position of text
Clear was setting characters to a space using the current style,
but if the style left Dim/Bold/Inverse (etc) enabled, that was being
used to affect the clear character, and thus affected clearing screen.
Seems weird tho; what if one wants to do a cleol (\033[K) on a screen
that is all inverted text; is there no way to use inverse mode for
clearing to the end of line? Or to delete a character?
Fixed a bug in the handling of xterm color 39 + 49, which avoids
applying Dim/Bold if default color is the special "see through" color
0xffffff00. A test will be added to test/terminal to excercise this
in a follow up commit.
Renamed CharStyle::?gcolor_uchar() -> CharStyle::?gcolor_xterm()
for a consistent naming convention.
Changed fltk_fg_color() from a static func to a CharStyle method
because it needs to access the defaultcolor for the special cases
for xterm colors 39 and 49.
Made CharStyle::attr_color() private, as per Jonathan Griffitts request
in issue #909.
Improved docs regarding effects of Dim/Bold for xterm and non-xterm color
methods.
Fl_Terminal::text?gcolor_xterm() methods now use CharStyle::?gcolor_xterm()
methods, removing the duplicate code logic.
New public methods:
void clear(void);
void clear(Fl_Color val);
old protected methods made public:
void clear_screen(bool scroll_to_hist=true); // ESC [ 2 J
void clear_screen_home(bool scroll_to_hist=true); // ESC [ H ESC [ 2 J
void cursor_home(void); // ESC [ 0 H
test/terminal modified to test these, and added separate tests
for both the API and ANSI code ways to do these ops.
textcolor() needed for consistency, color() behavior documented.
Both added to the test/terminal app.
Elaborated on the special background "see through" color value + behavior,
tested with color() in test/terminal app.
