Issue reported by jeremyhetzler: left and right arrows produced
unexpected characters when trying to use them to edit text that is
being entered.
The curses interface converts arrow keys and function keys related
to the keypad into movement keys (hjkl or 4286 depending on the
number_pad setting). But it was doing that all the time, not just
when nethack wanted movement keys. This extends the existing
program_state.getting_a_command flag to getdir() so that it can be
used for controlling that in addition to 'altmeta' support.
Typing an arrow when interacting with the map (actual command or
getpos, now getdir too) will still work. Typing one when making a
wish or naming a pet will issue a beep and be treated as if '\0' had
been typed, and that normally gets treated as if ESC had been typed.
[Possible room for improvement there. Losing the whole text when
trying to back up a character feels a bit harsh.]
Treating left arrow as escape rather than as h or 4 will probably be
enough to train players not to try to edit text with it after they
get burned by that a time or two.
Bonus fix: curses' keystroke conversion only supported traditional
number_pad behavior, not the inverted phone number pad layout.
Closes#987
The consolidation of global variables from scattered source
files into decl.c and declared in decl.h was begun in 3.7.0.
Their placement in common files was done for centralized
initialization and potential re-initialization during a
"play again" scenario.
It wasn't really necessary for all of them to be housed in a
single huge structure to meet the "play again" requirement,
and the single huge structure has been a little unwieldy when
it comes to maintenance.
Following this commit, instead of one single extremely large structure
named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they
are distributed into several ga through gz.
To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed
into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.
That way, no lookup is required in order to know which struct houses
a particular variable, it is a simple match to the starting letter
for all the centralized global variables.
A global variable named 'amulets', would be found in ga.
ga.amulets
^ ^
A global varable named 'move', would be found in gm.
gm.moves
^ ^
A global variable named 'val_for_n_or_more' would be found in gv.
gv.val_for_n_or_more
^ ^
A global variable named 'youmonst' would be found in gy.
gy.youmonst

My /usr/include/curses.h has various A_attribute macros but A_ITALIC
isn't one of them. Compiling cursmisc.c failed because one of the
uses of that wasn't guarded by #ifdef A_ITALIC. Instead of adding the
ommitted #if, substitute A_UNDERLINE for A_ITALIC when that's missing.
The select attribute menu when adding a menu color or a status hilite
now shows an entry for italic that's underlined (as expected) but the
underline entry itself does not display any sort of attribute. I
didn't pursue that.
(user-side decisions really, but as it stands right now
user-side decisions/options are made and processed by the core)
add a parameter to add_menu so color can be passed
More context-sensitive inventory support. While examining inventory,
if you pick an item other than gold and it has a quantity of more
than 1, "I - Adjust inventory by splitting this stack" will be one
of the menu choices.
Breaking doorganize() into two parts was much easier than expected,
but the new internal command added to be an alternate for the first
part had more niggling details than anticipated.
Message history only shows the first digit with "Split off how many?"
if the player enters more than that.
Have curses call the core get_count() routine instead rolling its
own so that backspace and delete are supported. That part was
trivial to accomplish. Unfortunately it brought the disappearing
menu phenomenon back so it became more complicated overall.
This fixes the disappearing menu, but not curses menu count entry
failing to honor backspace/delete. Entering two or more digits
to get a "Count:12" message, followed by non-digit which removes
that, resulted in the menu for apply/loot in-out container operation
vanishing while it was still waiting for a choice. (Typing a choice
blindly did work.)
The code intended to handle this. I don't understand why refresh()
wasn't working. Reordering stuff didn't help until I changed that
from refresh() to wrefresh(win).
The original Count:123 display was limited to 25 characters and
menus to half the main window, so they didn't overlap. I made the
count display wider--because it is now also used for 'autodescribe'
feedback when moving the cursor around the map--so made something
that originally was impossible become possible. One line of the
menu does get erased while "Count:" is displayed, but then gets put
back by the wrefresh().
On terminals with at least 16 colors there should be no need for special
handling dark gray.
The curses code uses COLORS < 16, COLORS <= 16, COLORS > 16, or COLORS >= 16
at several places although I'm not sure if they are correct or which could
possibly be off-by-one errors.
But realistically in this case, we only need to distinguish between 8 color
terminals and terminals supporting more than 8 colors as this will mean the
terminal supports at least 256 colors.
further adjustments to the window port interface to pass a pointer
to a glyph_info struct which describes not just the glyph number
itself, but also the ttychar, the color, the glyphflags, and the
symset index.
This affects two existing window port calls that get passed glyphs
and does the parameter consistently for both of them using the
glyph_info struct pointer:
print_glyph()
add_menu().
The recently added glyphmod parameter is now unnecessary and has been
removed.
This fixes the issue brought up at https://www.reddit.com/r/nethack/comments/dv3pae/curses_and_the_numberpad/?st=k3hgply6&sh=dbc2bf7d .
I don't know why the "regular" (tty) method doesn't seem to work for him,
but I'm going to chalk it up to a PDCurses oddity. What I do know, however,
is that the alternate method I added a year ago or maybe longer, that allows
numpad usage even with number_pad:0 (to retain the default keybindings in case
an user is used to them, while keeping number pad behaviour making sense,
similar to NetHack4+friends) was only partially implemented, for some reason.
This adds the rest of the keys, meaning that this means of key interpretation
should be more realible. KEY_A2/B1/B3/C2 are not standard keys in the Curses
documentation, and is thus behind an ifdef -- but PDCurses, amongst other
implementations, makes use of them.
As a side effect, Home/End/PgUp/PgDn are now interpreted as diagonal movement,
since some terminals interpret number_pad keys that way. I do not consider this
a problem since they went unused in normal gameplay anyway (This does not
interfere with menus or similar).
Primary and rogue symbols were being set to default if primary hadn't
been given a value, possibly clobbering rogue symbols if those had
been given a value. Initialize them independenly.
Return early from curses_convert_glyph() if the value doesn't have
the 8th bit set since it now deals exclusively with DECgraphics
handling. Force a sane value for returning early on rogue level.
Move a declaration that became mid-block when a preceding 'if () {'
got removed to top of block suppress warning about C99 feature.
Add new entry for the curses symset change to fixes36.3.
This time I'm putting things in as-is before making a few tweaks.
The pull request was three or four separate changes. I used the
patch instead so they've been collected into one commit.
Fixes#230
Incorporate github pull request #230, support for DECgraphics-style
line drawing in the curses interface. I've rewritten the
curses_convert_glyph() part so that it doesn't require C99 and
doesn't reinitialize its pair of arrays for every character written
to the map. The DECgraphics conversion is now a straight char for
char one, DEC line drawing code to ACS, without regard to what map
symbol is intended or what 'cursesgraphics' uses for that symbol.
Have the 'menucolors' option control menu color pattern matching
(instead of curses-specific 'guicolor') for all menus, not just for
the persistent inventory window.
Asking curses to report whether the Ctrl key was being pressed during
a mouse click was sending mouse position reports--even those aren't
being requested--and actual Ctrl+Left_click was reporting a pair of
duplicate Ctrl+Mouse_position_report events when a click was actually
performed. So turn off Ctrl key reporting.
Mac with one-button mouse can be configured to send "secondary click"
for Ctrl+Click. A laptop trackpad handles that differently (press the
button while two fingers are on the touchpad to send secondary click)
and doesn't support Ctrl+Click as an alternate way to do that. If this
would work within curses then they could operate the same regardless
of how the user set the mouse or trackpad configuraiton. But I wasn't
able to make it work right.
Typing ^H actually passed a 16-bit value back to the core which got
interpreted as ^G after the extra bits were discarded. I don't think
any previous changes to the curses interface caused this. It's
astonishing that no one ever noticed; the world must be full of numpad
users.
Right button is button3 rather than button2. Accept either and treat
both as "not left" to pass CLICK_2 back to the core.
Treat <Ctrl>+left-click as "not left" too, to simplify usage with Mac
one-button mouse (where <Ctrl>+left-click can be configured to send
"secondary click" but might not be set do so) or one-button laptop
trackpad (where having two fingers on the scrolling portion of the pad
while clicking the button is necessary to send "secondary click").
Followup to 1c03d0970115c776d1c4791fea3c33f70b0b5378; that had been
too easy. When map was clipped and panned to the side, the highlight
for hero's spot was shown next to the '@' instead of on it.
tty ignores map column #0 (0-based index), like the core, and draws
the map in screen columns 1 (1-based index) through 79, leaving screen
column 80 blank. curses was drawing all 80 map columns and since #0
was always unused, screen column 1 was blank and the map was shown in
2 through 80. Change curses to work like tty.
This was too easy; there may be problems lurking. One known issue: it
should be made smarter about when clipping/panning is necessary since
it thinks that a full 80 columns are needed but 79 suffice.
