handle home and end keys in urxvt #54

Closed tejing1 closed 3 years ago

tejing1 commented 3 years ago

urxvt uses \e[7~ and \e[8~ for home and end, respectively. (where \e is ASCII 0x1b) Currently these keys just type a ~ in an editline-based program running in urxvt, which is incredibly frustrating for me as I use these keys habitually. I've tested this, though not at all extensively, by rebuilding nix 2.4 to link against it and trying it in urxvt, xterm, and alacritty. I observed no problems.

Sorry for the confusion, didn't realize that would close the PR.

Have you tested this patch with any other terminal, like gnome terminal (libvte), regular xterm, rxvt?

Yes, as I stated in the OP, I tested with urxvt, xterm, and alacritty. I observed no problems, but I can't really call my testing "thorough" either.
