From 527dc8f564823d3dd01f79f22614271c7f3bc518 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Duerr Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2019 22:09:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix ncurses backspace key Ncurses does some special handling for backspace, normally comparing it to the KEY_BACKSPACE constant. However to make this work, the right backspace escape sequence needs to be set in the terminfo. XTerm has this set to ^H, but it always sends ^H. Since Alacritty usually sends ^? instead, this needs to be specified to allow correct interpretation for ncurses. --- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + extra/alacritty.info | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 2a60263e..bd8802df 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0 - Text getting recognized as URLs without slashes separating the scheme - URL parser dropping trailing slashes from valid URLs - UTF-8 BOM skipped when reading config file +- Terminfo backspace escape sequence (`kbs`) ### Removed diff --git a/extra/alacritty.info b/extra/alacritty.info index 6691eef6..f601653d 100644 --- a/extra/alacritty.info +++ b/extra/alacritty.info @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ alacritty+common|base fragment for alacritty, sgr0=\E(B\E[m, smacs=\E(0, smam=\E[?7h, smir=\E[4h, smkx=\E[?1h\E=, smm=\E[?1034h, smso=\E[7m, smul=\E[4m, tbc=\E[3g, vpa=\E[%i%p1%dd, E3=\E[3J, - kbs=^H, + kbs=^?, ritm=\E[23m, sitm=\E[3m, mc5i, mc0=\E[i, mc4=\E[4i, mc5=\E[5i,
