This replaces high numbered function keys on xterm style emulators with modifiers. So pressing SHIFT-ALT-F1 is reported as exactly that, for example. This also extends that to the insert, delete, home, end, etc. There is a chance that this will break some emulators -- of particular concern are older VTE based emulators and rxvt (and derivatives). However, we think that most VTE derivatives are now much more closely aligned to xterm. The Wyse50 alternate character set was changed (likely due to a bug fix in ncurses).
This package represents the parent for all terminals.
In older versions of tcell we had (a couple of) different external file formats for the terminal database. Those are now removed. All terminal definitions are supplied by one of two methods:
-
Compiled Go code
-
For systems with terminfo and infocmp, dynamically generated at runtime.
The Go code can be generated using the mkinfo utility in this directory. The database entry should be generated into a package in a directory named as the first character of the package name. (This permits us to group them all without having a huge directory of little packages.)
It may be desirable to add new packages to the extended package, or -- rarely -- the base package.
Applications which want to have the large set of terminal descriptions built into the binary can simply import the extended package. Otherwise a smaller reasonable default set (the base package) will be included instead.
