Broken backtab key on st. #309

Closed Sacules closed 4 years ago

Sacules commented 4 years ago

Before 1.3.0, Shift+Tab would be properly detected on st and return 78 and Backtab on tcell.EventKey.Key() and tcell.EventKey.Name() respectively, but now I get 256 and Alt+Rune[[].

Probably I didn’t have a current terminfo for this when I regenerated the database.

Hey @gdamore , we are facing a similar problem in the following issue: https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless/issues/247

In our case it's not Shift+Tab though, but Alt+ArrowKey, which also just gives us Alt+KeyRune.

gdamore commented 4 years ago

I think #369 will address the Alt key mixing with arrow keys.

I'm less confident of Shift Tab.

gdamore commented 4 years ago

So it appears that the "st" terminfo entry lacks kcbt -- which means that we don't encode back tab. This is unfortunate -- we need a more complete terminal definition for it.

gdamore commented 4 years ago

So good news, the git repo for st does have a useful definition that includes kcbt.
