Support <delete> (aka <rubout>) during getline(). It doesn't actually
honor the current erase_char value set up for the terminal, just
treats DEL the same as ^H. (The previous lack of support had nothing
to do with terminfo specifying ^H; the handling is hard-coded.)
tty treats escape while there's already some input as kill_char (erase
the input but get more from scratch) and returns ESC if there isn't.
curses was doing the first half but not the second, so not providing
any way to communicate "cancel" back to the core. Fix is simple.
Other getline() bug fixes:
1] there was a wprintw("%*something") which was passing the value from
strlen (type 'size_t') to the "%*" argument (type 'int'). That's
always wrong (size_t is guaranteed to be unsigned) and could be severe
(if size_t is different width than int--as on current OSX systems--
depending upon the internals of argument passing).
2] strncpy() only supplies a terminating '\0' if the input is shorter
than the number of characters specified.
A lot of reformatting is warranted but I only did the getline routine
(manually, so might have missed stuff).
