tcell

Linux Status Windows Status Apache License Gitter GoDoc Go Report Card

Tcell is a work in progress (Gamma). Please use with caution; interfaces may change in before final release. That said, our confidence in Tcell's stability is increasing. If you would like to use it in your own application, it is recommended that you drop a message to garrett@damore.org before commitment.

Package tcell provides a cell based view for text terminals, like xterm. It was inspired by termbox, but differs from termbox in some important ways. It also adds substantial functionality beyond termbox.

Examples

Pure Go Terminfo Database

First, it includes a full parser and expander for terminfo capability strings, so that it can avoid hard coding escape strings for formatting. It also favors portability, and includes support for all POSIX systems, at the slight expense of needing cgo support for terminal initializations. (This may be corrected when Go provides standard support for terminal handling via termio ioctls on all POSIX platforms.) The database itself, while built using CGO, as well as the parser for it, is implemented in Pure Go.

The database is also flexible & extensibel, and can modified by either running a program to build the database, or hand editing of simple JSON files.

More Portable

Tcell is portable to a wider variety of systems. It relies on standard POSIX supported function calls (on POSIX platforms) for setting terminal modes, which leads to improved support for a broader array of platforms. This does come at the cost of requiring your code to be able to use CGO, but we believe that the vastly improved portability justifies this requirement. Note that the functions called are part of the standard C library, so there shouldn't be any additional external requirements beyond that required for every POSIX program.

No async IO

Tcell is able to operate without requiring SIGIO signals (unlike Termbox), or asynchronous I/O, and can instead use standard Go file objects and Go routines. This means it should be safe, especially for use with programs that use exec, or otherwise need to manipulate the tty streams. This model is also much closer to idiomatic Go, leading to fewer surprises.

Richer Unicode & non-Unicode support

Tcell includes enhanced support for Unicode, include wide characters and combining characters, provided your terminal can support them. Note that Windows terminals generally don't support the full Unicode repertoire.

It will also convert to and from Unicode locales, so that the program can work with UTF-8 internally, and get reasonable output in other locales. We try hard to convert to native characters on both input and output, and on output Tcell even makes use of the alternate character set to facilitate drawing certain characters.

More Function Keys

It also has richer support for a larger number of special keys that some terminals can send.

Better color handling

Tcell will respect your terminal's color space as specified within your terminfo entries, so that for example attempts to emit color sequences on VT100 terminals won't result in unintended consequences.

In Windows mode, Tcell supports 16 colors, bold, dim, and reverse, instead of just termbox's 8 colors with reverse. (Note that there is some conflation with bold/dim and colors.)

Tcell maps 16 colors down to 8, for Terminals that need it. (The upper 8 colors are just brighter versions of the lower 8.)

Better mouse support

Tcell supports enhanced mouse tracking mode, so your application can receive regular mouse motion events, and wheel events, if your terminal supports it.

Why not just patch termbox-go?

I started this project originally by submitting patches to the author of go-termbox, but due to some fundamental differences of opinion, I thought it might be simpler just to start from scratch. At this point, Tcell has far exceeded the capabilities of termbox.

Termbox compatibility

A compatibility layer for termbox is provided in the compat directory. To use it, try importing "github.com/gdamore/tcell/termbox" instead. Most termbox-go programs will probably work without further modification.

Working With Unicode

Internally Tcell uses UTF-8, just like Go. However, Tcell understands how to convert to and from other character sets, using the capabilities of the golang.org/x/text/encoding packages. Your application must supply them, as the full set of the most common ones bloats the program by about 2MB. If you're lazy, and want them all anyway, see the encoding sub-directory.

Wide & Combining Characters

The SetContent() API takes a primary rune, and an optional list of combining runes. If any of the runes is a wide (East Asian) rune occupying two cells, then the library will skip output from the following cell, but care must be taken in the application to avoid explicitly attempting to set content in the next cell, otherwise the results are undefined. (Normally wide character is displayed, and the other character is not; do not depend on that behavior.)

Experience has shown that the vanilla Windows 8 console application does not support any of these characters properly, but at least some options like ConEmu do support Wide characters at least.

Colors

Tcell assumes the ANSI/XTerm color model, including the 256 color map that XTerm uses when it supports 256 colors. The terminfo guidance will be honored, with respect to the number of colors supported. Also, only terminals which expose ANSI style setaf and setab will support color; if you have a color terminal that only has setf and setb, please let me know; it wouldn't be hard to add that if there is need.

24-bit Color

Tcell supports true color! (That is, if your terminal can support it, Tcell can accurately display 24-bit color.)

To use 24-bit color, you need to use a terminal that supports it. Modern xterm and similar teminal emulators can support this. As terminfo lacks any way to describe this capability, we fabricate the capability for terminals with names ending in *-truecolor. The stock distribution ships with a database that defines xterm-truecolor. To try it out, set your TERM variable to xterm-truecolor.

When using TrueColor, programs will display the colors that the programmer intended, overriding any "themes" you may have set in your terminal emulator. (For some cases, accurate color fidelity is more important than respecting themes. For other cases, such as typical text apps that only use a few colors, its more desirable to respect the themes that the user has established.)

If you find this undesirable, you can either use a TERM variable that lacks the TRUECOLOR setting, or set TCELL_TRUECOLOR=disable in your environment.

Performance

Reasonable attempts have been made to minimize sending data to terminals, avoiding repeated sequences or drawing the same cell on refresh updates.

Terminfo

(Not relevent for Windows users.)

The Terminfo implementation operates with two forms of database. The first is the database.go file, which contains a number of real database entries that are compiled into the program directly. This should minimize calling out to database file searches.

The second is a JSON file, that contains the same information, which can be located either by the $TCELLDB environment file, $HOME/.tcelldb, or is located in the Go source directory as database.json.

These files (both the Go database.go and the database.json) file can be generated using the mkinfo.go program. If you need to regnerate the entire set for some reason, run the mkdatabase.sh file. The generation uses the terminfo routines on the system to populate the data files.

The mkinfo.go program can also be used to generate specific database entries for named terminals, in case your favorite terminal is missing. (If you find that this is the case, please let me know and I'll try to add it!)

Tcell requires that the terminal support the 'cup' mode of cursor addressing. Terminals without absolute cursor addressability are not supported. This is unlikely to be a problem; such terminals have not been mass produced since the early 1970s.

Mouse Support

Mouse support is detected via the "kmous" terminfo variable, however, enablement/disablement and decoding mouse events is done using hard coded sequences based on the XTerm X11 model. As of this writing all popular terminals with mouse tracking support this model. (Full terminfo support is not possible as terminfo sequences are not defined.)

On Windows, the mouse works normally.

Mouse wheel buttons on various terminals are known to work, but the support in terminal emulators, as well as support for various buttons and live mouse tracking, varies widely. As a particular datum, MacOS X Terminal does not support Mouse events at all (as of MacOS 10.10, aka Yosemite.) The excellent iTerm application is fully supported, as is vanilla XTerm.

Mouse tracking with live tracking also varies widely. Current XTerm implementations, as well as current Screen and iTerm2, and Windows consoles, all support this quite nicely. On other platforms you might find that only mouse click and release events are reported, with no intervening motion events. It really depends on your terminal.

Testablity

There is a SimulationScreen, that can be used to simulate a real screen for automated testing. The supplied tests do this. The simulation contains event delivery, screen resizing support, and capabilities to inject events and examine "physical" screen contents.

Platforms

Systems (Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS, Solaris, etc.)

On POSIX systems, a POSIX termios implementation with /dev/tty is required. It also requires functional CGO to run. As of this writing, CGO is available on all POSIX Go 1.5 platforms.

Windows

Windows console mode applications are supported. Unfortunately mintty and other cygwin style applications are not supported.

Modern console applications like ConEmu support all the good features (resize, mouse tracking, etc.)

I haven't figured out how to cleanly resolve the dichotomy between cygwin style termios and the Windows Console API; it seems that perhaps nobody else has either. If anyone has suggestions, let me know! Really, if you're using a Windows application, you should use the native Windows console or a fully compatible consule implementation. Hopefully the Windows 10 console is more functional in this regard.

Plan9 and Native Client (Nacl)

The nacl and plan9 platforms won't work, but compilation stubs are supplied for folks that want to include parts of this in software targetting those platforms. The Simulation screen works, but as Tcell doesn't know how to allocate a real screen object on those platforms, NewScreen() will fail.

Documentation

Overview

Package tcell provides a lower-level, portable API for building programs that interact with terminals or consoles. It works with both common (and many uncommon!) terminals or terminal emulators, and Windows console implementations.

It provides support for up to 256 colors, text attributes, and box drawing elements. A database of terminals built from a real terminfo database is provided, along with code to generate new database entries.

Tcell offers very rich support for mice, dependent upon the terminal of course. (Windows, XTerm, and iTerm 2 are known to work very well.)

If the environment is not Unicode by default, such as an ISO8859 based locale or GB18030, Tcell can convert input and outupt, so that your terminal can operate in whatever locale is most convenient, while the application program can just assume "everything is UTF-8". Reasonable defaults are used for updating characters to something suitable for display. Unicode box drawing characters will be converted to use the alternate character set of your terminal, if native conversions are not available. If no ACS is available, then some ASCII fallbacks will be used.

A rich set of keycodes is supported, with support for up to 65 function keys, and various other special keys.

}

RuneFallbacks is the default map of fallback strings that will be used to replace a rune when no other more appropriate transformation is available, and the rune cannot be displayed directly.

New entries may be added to this map over time, as it becomes clear that such is desirable. Characters that represent either letters or numbers should not be added to this list unless it is certain that the meaning will still convey unambiguously.

As an example, it would be appropriate to add an ASCII mapping for the full width form of the letter 'A', but it would not be appropriate to do so a glyph representing the country China.

Programs that desire richer fallbacks may register additional ones, or change or even remove these mappings with Screen.RegisterRuneFallback Screen.UnregisterRuneFallback methods.

Note that Unicode is presumed to be able to display all glyphs. This is a pretty poor assumption, but there is no easy way to figure out which glyphs are supported in a given font. Hence, some care in selecting the characters you support in your application is still appropriate.

Functions

func AddTerminfo 

func AddTerminfo(t *Terminfo)

AddTerminfo can be called to register a new Terminfo entry.

func GetEncoding 

func GetEncoding(charset string) encoding.Encoding

GetEncoding is used by Screen implementors who want to locate an encoding for the given character set name. Note that this will return nil for either the Unicode (UTF-8) or ASCII encodings, since we don't use encodings for them but instead have our own native methods.

func RegisterEncoding 

func RegisterEncoding(charset string, enc encoding.Encoding)

RegisterEncoding may be called by the application to register an encoding. The presence of additional encodings will facilitate application usage with terminal environments where the I/O subsystem does not support Unicode.

Windows systems use Unicode natively, and do not need any of the encoding subsystem when using Windows Console screens.

Please see the Go documentation for golang.org/x/text/encoding -- most of the common ones exist already as stock variables. For example, ISO8859-15 can be registered using the following code: 

import "golang.org/x/text/encoding/charmap"

  ...
  RegisterEncoding("ISO8859-15", charmap.ISO8859_15)

Aliases can be registered as well, for example "8859-15" could be an alias for "ISO8859-15".

For POSIX systems, the tcell package will check the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG (in that order) to determine the character set. These are expected to have the following pattern: 

$language[.$codeset[@$variant]

We extract only the $codeset part, which will usually be something like UTF-8 or ISO8859-15 or KOI8-R. Note that if the locale is either "POSIX" or "C", then we assume US-ASCII (the POSIX 'portable character set' and assume all other characters are somehow invalid.)

Modern POSIX systems and terminal emulators may use UTF-8, and for those systems, this API is also unnecessary. For example, Darwin (MacOS X) and modern Linux running modern xterm generally will out of the box without any of this. Use of UTF-8 is recommended when possible, as it saves quite a lot processing overhead.

Note that some encodings are quite large (for example GB18030 which is a superset of Unicode) and so the application size can be expected ot increase quite a bit as each encoding is added. The East Asian encodings have been seen to add 100-200K per encoding to the application size.

func SetEncodingFallback 

func SetEncodingFallback(fb EncodingFallback)

SetEncodingFallback changes the behavior of GetEncoding when a suitable encoding is not found. The default is EncodingFallbackFail, which causes GetEncoding to simply return nil.

Types

type AttrMask 

type AttrMask int

AttrMask represents a mask of text attributes, apart from color. Note that support for attributes may vary widely across terminals. 

const (
	AttrBold AttrMask = 1 << (25 + iota)
	AttrBlink
	AttrReverse
	AttrUnderline
	AttrDim
	AttrNone AttrMask = 0 // Just normal text.
)

Attributes are not colors, but affect the display of text. They can be combined.

type ButtonMask 

type ButtonMask int16

ButtonMask is a mask of mouse buttons and wheel events. Mouse button presses are normally delivered as both press and release events. Mouse wheel events are normally just single impulse events. Windows supports up to eight separate buttons plus all four wheel directions, but XTerm can only support mouse buttons 1-3 and wheel up/down. Its not unheard of for terminals to support only one or two buttons (think Macs). Old terminals, and true emulations (such as vt100) won't support mice at all, of course. 

const (
	Button1 ButtonMask = 1 << iota // Usually left mouse button.
	Button2                        // Usually the middle mouse button.
	Button3                        // Usually the right mouse button.
	Button4                        // Often a side button (thumb/next).
	Button5                        // Often a side button (thumb/prev).
	Button6
	Button7
	Button8
	WheelUp                   // Wheel motion up/away from user.
	WheelDown                 // Wheel motion down/towards user.
	WheelLeft                 // Wheel motion to left.
	WheelRight                // Wheel motion to right.
	ButtonNone ButtonMask = 0 // No button or wheel events.
)

These are the actual button values.

type CellBuffer 

type CellBuffer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CellBuffer represents a two dimensional array of character cells. This is primarily intended for use by Screen implementors; it contains much of the common code they need. To create one, just declare a variable of its type; no explicit initialization is necessary.

CellBuffer is not thread safe.

func (*CellBuffer) Dirty 

func (cb *CellBuffer) Dirty(x, y int) bool

Dirty checks if a character at the given location needs an to be refreshed on the physical display. This returns true if the cell content is different since the last time it was marked clean.

func (*CellBuffer) Fill 

func (cb *CellBuffer) Fill(r rune, style Style)

Fill fills the entire cell buffer array with the specified character and style. Normally choose ' ' to clear the screen. This API doesn't support combining characters.

func (*CellBuffer) GetContent 

func (cb *CellBuffer) GetContent(x, y int) (rune, []rune, Style, int)

GetContent returns the contents of a character cell, including the primary rune, any combining character runes (which will usually be nil), the style, and the display width in cells. (The width can be either 1, normally, or 2 for East Asian full-width characters.)

func (*CellBuffer) Invalidate 

func (cb *CellBuffer) Invalidate()

Invalidate marks all characters within the buffer as dirty.

func (*CellBuffer) Resize 

func (cb *CellBuffer) Resize(w, h int)

Resize is used to resize the cells array, with different dimensions, while preserving the original contents. The cells will be invalidated so that they can be redrawn.

func (*CellBuffer) SetContent 

func (cb *CellBuffer) SetContent(x int, y int,
	mainc rune, combc []rune, style Style)

SetContent sets the contents (primary rune, combining runes, and style) for a cell at a given location.

func (*CellBuffer) SetDirty 

func (cb *CellBuffer) SetDirty(x, y int, dirty bool)

SetDirty is normally used to indicate that a cell has been displayed (in which case dirty is false), or to manually force a cell to be marked dirty.

func (*CellBuffer) Size 

func (cb *CellBuffer) Size() (int, int)

Size returns the (width, height) in cells of the buffer.

type Color 

type Color int32

Color represents a color. The low numeric values are the same as used by ECMA-48, and beyond that XTerm. A 24-bit RGB value may be used by adding in the ColorIsRGB flag. For Color names we use the W3C approved color names.

Note that on various terminals colors may be approximated however, or not supported at all. If no suitable representation for a color is known, the library will simply not set any color, deferring to whatever default attributes the terminal uses. 

const (
	// ColorDefault is used to leave the Color unchanged from whatever
	// system or teminal default may exist.
	ColorDefault Color = -1

	// ColorIsRGB is used to indicate that the numeric value is not
	// a known color constant, but rather an RGB value.  The lower
	// order 3 bytes are RGB.
	ColorIsRGB Color = 1 << 24
)
const (
	ColorBlack Color = iota
	ColorMaroon
	ColorGreen
	ColorOlive
	ColorNavy

)

Note that the order of these options is important -- it follows the definitions used by ECMA and XTerm. Hence any further named colors must begin at a value not less than 256.

func FindColor 

func FindColor(c Color, palette []Color) Color

FindColor attempts to find a given color, or the best match possible for it, from the palette given. This is an expensive operation, so results should be cached by the caller.

func GetColor 

func GetColor(name string) Color

GetColor creates a Color from a color name (W3C name). A hex value may be supplied as a string in the format "#ffffff".

func NewHexColor 

func NewHexColor(v int32) Color

NewHexColor returns a color using the given 24-bit RGB value.

func NewRGBColor 

func NewRGBColor(r, g, b int32) Color

NewRGBColor returns a new color with the given red, green, and blue values. Each value must be represented in the range 0-255.

func (Color) Hex 

func (c Color) Hex() int32

Hex returns the color's hexadecimal RGB 24-bit value with each component consisting of a single byte, ala R << 16 | G << 8 | B. If the color is unknown or unset, -1 is returned.

func (Color) RGB 

func (c Color) RGB() (int32, int32, int32)

RGB returns the red, green, and blue components of the color, with each component represented as a value 0-255. In the event that the color cannot be broken up (not set usually), -1 is returned for each value.

type EncodingFallback 

type EncodingFallback int

EncodingFallback describes how the system behavees when the locale requires a character set that we do not support. The system always supports UTF-8 and US-ASCII. On Windows consoles, UTF-16LE is also supported automatically. Other character sets must be added using the RegisterEncoding API. (A large group of nearly all of them can be added using the RegisterAll function in the encoding sub package.)

type Event 

type Event interface {
	// When reports the time when the event was generated.
	When() time.Time
}

Event is a generic interface used for passing around Events. Concrete types follow.

type EventError 

type EventError struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

An EventError is an event representing some sort of error, and carries an error payload.

func NewEventError 

func NewEventError(err error) *EventError

NewEventError creates an ErrorEvent with the given error payload.

func (*EventError) Error 

func (ev *EventError) Error() string

Error implements the error.

func (*EventError) When 

func (ev *EventError) When() time.Time

When returns the time when the event was created.

type EventHandler 

type EventHandler interface {
	HandleEvent(Event) bool
}

EventHandler is anything that handles events. If the handler has consumed the event, it should return true. False otherwise.

type EventInterrupt 

type EventInterrupt struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

EventInterrupt is a generic wakeup event. Its can be used to to request a redraw. It can carry an arbitrary payload, as well.

func NewEventInterrupt 

func NewEventInterrupt(data interface{}) *EventInterrupt

NewEventInterrupt creates an EventInterrupt with the given payload.

func (*EventInterrupt) Data 

func (ev *EventInterrupt) Data() interface{}

Data is used to obtain the opaque event payload.

func (*EventInterrupt) When 

func (ev *EventInterrupt) When() time.Time

When returns the time when this event was created.

type EventKey 

type EventKey struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

EventKey represents a key press. Usually this is a key press followed by a key release, but since terminal programs don't have a way to report key release events, we usually get just one event. If a key is held down then the terminal may synthesize repeated key presses at some predefined rate. We have no control over that, nor visibility into it.

In some cases, we can have a modifier key, such as ModAlt, that can be generated with a key press. (This usually is represented by having the high bit set, or in some cases, by sending an ESC prior to the rune.)

If the value of Key() is KeyRune, then the actual key value will be available with the Rune() method. This will be the case for most keys. In most situations, the modifiers will not be set. For example, if the rune is 'A', this will be reported without the ModShift bit set, since really can't tell if the Shift key was pressed (it might have been CAPSLOCK, or a terminal that only can send capitals, or keyboard with separate capital letters from lower case letters).

Generally, terminal applications have far less visibility into keyboard activity than graphical applications. Hence, they should avoid depending overly much on availability of modifiers, or the availability of any specific keys.

func NewEventKey 

func NewEventKey(k Key, ch rune, mod ModMask) *EventKey

NewEventKey attempts to create a suitable event. It parses the various ASCII control sequences if KeyRune is passed for Key, but if the caller has more precise information it should set that specifically. Callers that aren't sure about modifier state (most) should just pass ModNone.

func (*EventKey) Key 

func (ev *EventKey) Key() Key

Key returns a virtual key code. We use this to identify specific key codes, such as KeyEnter, etc. Most control and function keys are reported with unique Key values. Normal alphanumeric and punctuation keys will generally return KeyRune here; the specific key can be further decoded using the Rune() function.

func (*EventKey) Modifiers 

func (ev *EventKey) Modifiers() ModMask

Modifiers returns the modifiers that were present with the key press. Note that not all platforms and terminals support this equally well, and some cases we will not not know for sure. Hence, applications should avoid using this in most circumstances.

func (*EventKey) Name 

func (ev *EventKey) Name() string

Name returns a printable value or the key stroke. This can be used when printing the event, for example.

func (*EventKey) Rune 

func (ev *EventKey) Rune() rune

Rune returns the rune corresponding to the key press, if it makes sense. The result is only defined if the value of Key() is KeyRune.

func (*EventKey) When 

func (ev *EventKey) When() time.Time

When returns the time when this Event was created, which should closely match the time when the key was pressed.

type EventMouse 

type EventMouse struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

EventMouse is a mouse event. It is sent on either mouse up or mouse down events. It is also sent on mouse motion events - if the terminal supports it. We make every effort to ensure that mouse release events are delivered. Hence, click drag can be identified by a motion event with the mouse down, without any intervening button release. On some terminals only the initiating press and terminating release event will be delivered.

Mouse wheel events, when reported, may appear on their own as individual impulses; that is, there will normally not be a release event delivered for mouse wheel movements.

Most terminals cannot report the state of more than one button at a time -- and some cannot report motion events unless a button is pressed.

Applications can inspect the time between events to resolve double or triple clicks.

func NewEventMouse 

func NewEventMouse(x, y int, btn ButtonMask, mod ModMask) *EventMouse

NewEventMouse is used to create a new mouse event. Applications shouldn't need to use this; its mostly for screen implementors.

func (*EventMouse) Buttons 

func (ev *EventMouse) Buttons() ButtonMask

Buttons returns the list of buttons that were pressed or wheel motions.

func (*EventMouse) Modifiers 

func (ev *EventMouse) Modifiers() ModMask

Modifiers returns a list of keyboard modifiers that were pressed with the mouse button(s).

func (*EventMouse) Position 

func (ev *EventMouse) Position() (int, int)

Position returns the mouse position in character cells. The origin 0, 0 is at the upper left corner.

func (*EventMouse) When 

func (ev *EventMouse) When() time.Time

When returns the time when this EventMouse was created.

type EventResize 

type EventResize struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

EventResize is sent when the window size changes.

func NewEventResize 

func NewEventResize(width, height int) *EventResize

NewEventResize creates an EventResize with the new updated window size, which is given in character cells.

func (*EventResize) Size 

func (ev *EventResize) Size() (int, int)

Size returns the new window size as width, height in character cells.

func (*EventResize) When 

func (ev *EventResize) When() time.Time

When returns the time when the Event was created.

type EventTime 

type EventTime struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

EventTime is a simple base event class, suitable for easy reuse. It can be used to deliver actual timer events as well.

func (*EventTime) SetEventNow 

func (e *EventTime) SetEventNow()

SetEventNow sets the time of occurrence for the event to the current time.

func (*EventTime) SetEventTime 

func (e *EventTime) SetEventTime(t time.Time)

SetEventTime sets the time of occurrence for the event.

func (*EventTime) When 

func (e *EventTime) When() time.Time

When returns the time stamp when the event occurred.

type Key 

type Key int16

Key is a generic value for representing keys, and especially special keys (function keys, cursor movement keys, etc.) For normal keys, like ASCII letters, we use KeyRune, and then expect the application to inspect the Rune() member of the EventKey. 

const (
	KeyRune Key = iota + 256

	KeyF59
	KeyF60
	KeyF61
	KeyF62
	KeyF63
	KeyF64
)

This is the list of named keys. KeyRune is special however, in that it is a place holder key indicating that a printable character was sent. The actual value of the rune will be transported in the Rune of the associated EventKey. 

const (
	KeyCtrlSpace Key = iota
	KeyCtrlA
	KeyCtrlB
	KeyCtrlC
	KeyCtrlD
	KeyCtrlE
	KeyCtrlF

	KeyCtrlY
	KeyCtrlZ
	KeyCtrlLeftSq // Escape
	KeyCtrlBackslash
	KeyCtrlRightSq
	KeyCtrlCarat
	KeyCtrlUnderscore
)

These are the control keys. Note that they overlap with other keys, perhaps. For example, KeyCtrlH is the same as KeyBackspace. 

const (
	KeyNUL Key = iota
	KeySOH
	KeySTX
	KeyETX
	KeyEOT

	KeyEM
	KeySUB
	KeyESC
	KeyFS
	KeyGS
	KeyRS
	KeyUS
	KeyDEL Key = 0x7F
)

These are the defined ASCII values for key codes. They generally match with KeyCtrl values.

type ModMask 

type ModMask int16

ModMask is a mask of modifier keys. Note that it will not always be possible to report modifier keys. 

const (
	ModShift ModMask = 1 << iota
	ModCtrl
	ModAlt
	ModMeta
	ModNone ModMask = 0
)

These are the modifiers keys that can be sent either with a key press, or a mouse event. Note that as of now, due to the confusion associated with Meta, and the lack of support for it on many/most platforms, the current implementations never use it. Instead, they use ModAlt, even for events that could possibly have been distinguished from ModAlt.

type Screen 

type Screen interface {
	// Init initializes the screen for use.
	Init() error

	// Fini finalizes the screen also releasing resources.
	Fini()

	// Clear erases the screen.  The contents of any screen buffers

	SetCell(x int, y int, style Style, ch ...rune)

	// GetContent returns the contents at the given location.  If the
	// coordinates are out of range, then the values will be 0, nil,
	// StyleDefault.  Note that the contents returned are logical contents
	// and may not actually be what is displayed, but rather are what will
	// be displayed if Show() or Sync() is called.  The width is the width
	// in screen cells; most often this will be 1, but some East Asian
	// characters require two cells.
	GetContent(x, y int) (mainc rune, combc []rune, style Style, width int)

	// SetContent sets the contents of the given cell location.  If
	// the coordinates are out of range, then the operation is ignored.
	//
	// The first rune is the primary non-zero width rune.  The array
	// that follows is a possible list of combining characters to append,
	// and will usually be nil (no combining characters.)
	//
	// The results are not displayd until Show() or Sync() is called.
	//
	// Note that wide (East Asian full width) runes occupy two cells,
	// and attempts to place character at next cell to the right will have
	// undefined effects.  Wide runes that are printed in the
	// last column will be replaced with a single width space on output.
	SetContent(x int, y int, mainc rune, combc []rune, style Style)

	// SetStyle sets the default style to use when clearing the screen
	// or when StyleDefault is specified.  If it is also StyleDefault,
	// then whatever system/terminal default is relevant will be used.
	SetStyle(style Style)

	// ShowCursor is used to display the cursor at a given location.
	// If the coordinates -1, -1 are given or are otherwise outside the
	// dimensions of the screen, the cursor will be hidden.
	ShowCursor(x int, y int)

	// HideCursor is used to hide the cursor.  Its an alias for
	// ShowCursor(-1, -1).
	HideCursor()

	// response to a call to Clear or Flush.
	Size() (int, int)

	// PollEvent waits for events to arrive.  Main application loops

	// Furthermore, this will return nil if the Screen is finalized.
	PollEvent() Event

	// PostEvent tries to post an event into the event stream.  This
	// can fail if the event queue is full.  In that case, the event
	// is dropped, and ErrEventQFull is returned.
	PostEvent(ev Event) error

	// PostEventWait is like PostEvent, but if the queue is full, it
	// blocks until there is space in the queue, making delivery
	// reliable.  However, it is VERY important that this function

	// For this reason, when using this function, the use of a

	// manner possible.
	Show()

	// Sync works like Show(), but it updates every visible cell on the

	// or during a resize event.
	Sync()

	// CharacterSet returns information about the character set.

	CharacterSet() string

	// The display string should be the same width as original rune.
	// This makes it possible to register two character replacements

	HasKey(Key) bool
}

Screen represents the physical (or emulated) screen. This can be a terminal window or a physical console. Platforms implement this differerently.

func NewConsoleScreen 

func NewConsoleScreen() (Screen, error)

NewConsoleScreen returns a console based screen. This platform doesn't have support for any, so it returns nil and a suitable error.

func NewScreen 

func NewScreen() (Screen, error)

NewScreen returns a default Screen suitable for the user's terminal environment.

func NewTerminfoScreen 

func NewTerminfoScreen() (Screen, error)

NewTerminfoScreen returns a Screen that uses the stock TTY interface and POSIX termios, combined with a terminfo description taken from the $TERM environment variable. It returns an error if the terminal is not supported for any reason.

For terminals that do not support dynamic resize events, the $LINES $COLUMNS environment variables can be set to the actual window size, otherwise defaults taken from the terminal database are used.

type SimCell 

type SimCell struct {
	// Bytes is the actual character bytes.  Normally this is
	// rune data, but it could be be data in another encoding system.
	Bytes []byte

	// Style is the style used to display the data.
	Style Style

	// Runes is the list of runes, unadulterated, in UTF-8.
	Runes []rune
}

SimCell represents a simulated screen cell. The purpose of this is to track on screen content.

type SimulationScreen 

type SimulationScreen interface {
	// InjectKeyBytes injects a stream of bytes corresponding to
	// the native encoding (see charset).  It turns true if the entire
	// set of bytes were processed and delivered as KeyEvents, false

	// SetSize resizes the underlying physical screen.  It also causes
	// a resize event to be injected during the next Show() or Sync().
	// A new physical contents array will be allocated (with data from
	// the old copied), so any prior value obtained with GetContents
	// won't be used anymore
	SetSize(width, height int)

	// GetContents returns screen contents as an array of
	// cells, along with the physical width & height.   Note that the
	// physical contents will be used until the next time SetSize()
	// is called.
	GetContents() (cells []SimCell, width int, height int)

	// GetCursor returns the cursor details.
	GetCursor() (x int, y int, visible bool)

	Screen
}

SimulationScreen represents a screen simulation. This is intended to be a superset of normal Screens, but also adds some important interfaces for testing.

func NewSimulationScreen 

func NewSimulationScreen(charset string) SimulationScreen

NewSimulationScreen returns a SimulationScreen. Note that SimulationScreen is also a Screen.

type Style 

type Style int64

Style represents a complete text style, including both foreground and background color. We encode it in a 64-bit int for efficiency. The coding is (MSB): <7b flags><1b><24b fgcolor><7b attr><1b><24b bgcolor>. The <1b> is set true to indicate that the color is an RGB color, rather than a named index.

This gives 24bit color options, if it ever becomes truly necessary. However, applications must not rely on this encoding.

Note that not all terminals can display all colors or attributes, and many might have specific incompatibilities between specific attributes and color combinations.

The intention is to extend styles to support paletting, in which case some flag bit(s) would be set, and the foreground and background colors would be replaced with a palette number and palette index.

To use Style, just declare a variable of its type. 

const StyleDefault Style = 0

StyleDefault represents a default style, based upon the context. It is the zero value.

func (Style) Background 

func (s Style) Background(c Color) Style

Background returns a new style based on s, with the background color set as requested. ColorDefault can be used to select the global default. 

func (s Style) Blink(on bool) Style

Blink returns a new style based on s, with the blink attribute set as requested.

func (Style) Bold 

func (s Style) Bold(on bool) Style

Bold returns a new style based on s, with the bold attribute set as requested.

func (Style) Decompose 

func (s Style) Decompose() (fg Color, bg Color, attr AttrMask)

Decompose breaks a style up, returning the foreground, background, and other attributes.

func (Style) Dim 

func (s Style) Dim(on bool) Style

Dim returns a new style based on s, with the dim attribute set as requested.

func (Style) Foreground 

func (s Style) Foreground(c Color) Style

Foreground returns a new style based on s, with the foreground color set as requested. ColorDefault can be used to select the global default.

func (Style) Normal 

func (s Style) Normal() Style

Normal returns the style with all attributes disabled.

func (Style) Reverse 

func (s Style) Reverse(on bool) Style

Reverse returns a new style based on s, with the reverse attribute set as requested. (Reverse usually changes the foreground and background colors.)

func (Style) Underline 

func (s Style) Underline(on bool) Style

Underline returns a new style based on s, with the underline attribute set as requested.

Terminfo represents a terminfo entry. Note that we use friendly names in Go, but when we write out JSON, we use the same names as terminfo. The name, aliases and smous, rmous fields do not come from terminfo directly.

func LookupTerminfo 

func LookupTerminfo(name string) (*Terminfo, error)

LookupTerminfo attempts to find a definition for the named $TERM. It first looks in the builtin database, which should cover just about everyone. If it can't find one there, then it will attempt to read one from the JSON file located in either $TCELLDB, $HOME/.tcelldb or in this package's source directory as database.json).

func (*Terminfo) TColor 

func (t *Terminfo) TColor(fg, bg Color) string

TColor returns a string corresponding to the given foreground and background colors. Either fg or bg can be set to -1 to elide.

func (*Terminfo) TGoto 

func (t *Terminfo) TGoto(col, row int) string

TGoto returns a string suitable for addressing the cursor at the given row and column. The origin 0, 0 is in the upper left corner of the screen.

func (*Terminfo) TParm 

func (t *Terminfo) TParm(s string, p ...int) string

TParm takes a terminfo parameterized string, such as setaf or cup, and evaluates the string, and returns the result with the parameter applied.

func (*Terminfo) TPuts 

func (t *Terminfo) TPuts(w io.Writer, s string, baud int)

TPuts emits the string to the writer, but expands inline padding indications (of the form $<[delay]> where [delay] is msec) to a suitable number of padding characters (usually null bytes) based upon the supplied baud. At high baud rates, more padding characters will be inserted. All Terminfo based strings should be emitted using this function.
