Home/End key is not recognised

pgy opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

Hi, on my machine curtsies fails to recognize the Home/End keys.

$ python3 -m curtsies.events                        
press a bunch of keys (not at the same time, but you can hit them pretty quickly)

---
b'\x1bOH'
unknown!!!
Unidentified character sequence!
type 'ok' to prove you're not pounding keys ok
Press the key that produced b'\x1bOH' again please
Describe in English what key you pressed: Home
Thanks! Please open an issue at https://github.com/thomasballinger/curtsies/issues
or email thomasballinger@gmail.com. Include this terminal history or keylog.txt.
You can keep pressing keys

just chiming in, OH is the "keypad" version of the home key (On today's laptops, the keypad is often indistinguishable). Here are the rest,

Great thanks @jquast, if I do a small release before starting to use Blessed for this I'll included these.

thomasballinger@4150164 adds all keypad keys from @jquast's code.

I'd like to re-open this, as I still experience this exact issue, and I have been told that I'm already using the newest version (In the eyes of Debian, it's 0.2.6-1).

@BenWiederhake Thanks, I'll look into this soon.

Still having this problem, feels like it's been years I think:

'\x1bOH' is called Home
'\x1bOF' is called End

> pip show curtsies bpython

Name: curtsies
Version: 0.2.9

Name: bpython

This is added, would anyone like to test?
pip install --upgrade git+git://github.com/thomasballinger/curtsies.git@213487e8e5b1594d0866e88ac4f43cf6ad45632d

If this fixes it things for anyone I'll release a version today.

Yeah, it worked for me!

Great! I just released a 0.2.10 with this fix in it, so everybody affected should run pip install --upgrade curtsies. If it doesn't fix things for you please let me know.

And while you're at it, maybe upgrade bpython, there's a new release today! There are some bug fixes and some tweaks to the layout the completion window, I'd love to hear what you think.
