Home/End not working as expected when word wrap is enabled #30

Closed ojdo closed 8 years ago

ojdo commented 8 years ago

When I edit a todo item with word wrap enabled, both the Ctrl-A/E as well as Home/End keys do not bring me to the beginning or the end of the item, but only to the beginning or end of the current visual line. So I do not see a quick way to bring the cursor to the beginning of a long todo item. Are there any workarounds that I miss?

More context: I am using todotxmachine on a Ubuntu machine, that I access through tmux via mosh from a Windows machine within cygwin. What could possibly go wrong?

Interesting. I'm using iTerm2 on my Mac and it's working fine. (I'm on my fork but that functionality is the same.)

Did you have a chance to poke around and fix this? I wonder if this is related to the text-reflow problem in linux terminals.

Follow-up: Home/End work as expected in a :set wrap linebreak nolist-wrapping vim instance. So the keypresses should arrive properly at the host machine. Do you have any gist as where in the codebase (yours, urwid, ...) I could hope for creating a fix? Your repo seems to rely on urwid completely for drawing the text edit, right?

I think this can be closed with PR #31 having been merged.
