CTRL-X and other escape chars for RomWBW

Alex-Kw opened this issue · comments

RomWBW makes extensive use of escape characters. At the least CTRL-X is needed to cancel qterm transfers. CTRL-C and CTRL-Y are already mapped to dedicated keys. There is one more F* Key open at the least for CTRL-X.

Perhaps, if a loop can be triggered by a press of a special key, the next character key would be an escape key. This would require translating the key value and setting/removing a flag during that cycle of keypress.

Alternately, removing the plain text macros on the function keys might free up enough keys for all the necessary escape chars.

ToDo: See exactly which / how many escape characters need to be added.

Solved with 6516ef6

Commodore key now acts as CTRL for escape characters.
