TextArea does not accept input #65

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Serving Lanterna over telnetd. TextArea does not accept any characters.

On cursory inspection, 
com.googlecode.lanterna.gui.component.TextBox#keyboardInteraction processes 
NormalKey, while 
com.googlecode.lanterna.gui.component.TextArea#keyboardInteraction does not.

TextArea was never meant to be a large area for text input. Martin has said 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/lanterna-discuss/Piv3iJ-KEw4/LLaP7cw_LAwJ
) that it would take a lot of time to implement, and so far the solution's been 
to mainly just manipulate it with the appendLine(String l) and insertLine(int 
i, String l). Who knows though, I mean it does have the hasFocus() method, 
though I suspect that the solution to this issue runs deeper than that...

Yeah, hopefully with the GUI system redesign I can put in a large text area 
component. Until then, you can always create your own custom component and 
write input handling for it. A good starting point would be to just copy-paste 
the code to TextArea.
