Mouse Events in Win11 #370

Closed djtorrey closed 1 year ago

djtorrey commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug I checked and double checked the documentation - it sounds like it should work with Windows pretty much out of the box - I can confirm that I am currently getting Mouse Events in Ubuntu and Fedora terminals, but I don't seem to be receiving any Mouse Events using the windows 11 command line, powershell, or bash terminal. I'm not sure if something has changed between Win 10 and Win 11 in the console implementation

To Reproduce Check get_events() in Win 11 Console

Expected behavior Mouse events should be detected / received

Screenshots image

in the image, on the left-hand side you see the windows cmd instance running with no mouse event detected (should replace the text diag). On the righthand side you can see the same code running on Fedora that clearly shows the mouse event on click

System details (please complete the following information):

Additional context Like I said, I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something simple, but the get_event() code is clearly working in Ubuntu and Fedora, but does not seem to react in the slightest against Win 11 console

Have you tried the troubleshooting advice? See https://asciimatics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#mouse-support-not-working

hey thanks for responding back so quickly. only thing I see there for windows is QuickEdit mode which I'll be honest, I'm not familiar enough with it to know where that is found and to verify it is disabled. I haven't explicitly turned it on, so if it defaults to False I'm not sure for Windows what the next steps would be

looks like we're split between here and gitter so just to keep things tracking here i'll say I tried to disable QuickEdit so far to no avail - continuing to experiment with potential issues

for future reference for others: using nodemon to auto-restart during development interferes with keyboard and mouse inputs
