============================================================================= Changes from mined 2000.4 -> mined 2000.5 (Dec 2002) ========================================= Feature: Keyboard mapping ------------------------- Keyboard mapping for various scripts is available in UTF-8 mode (both edited text and terminal must run UTF-8). This maps keyboard input characters or short character sequences to characters (or short sequences) in a different script. In this release, mappings for Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, and Hebrew have been integrated. An active and a standby keyboard mapping are maintained. They can be toggled quickly for text input with ESC k (or Alt-k), also on the prompt line (e.g. for searching). Command overview: ESC k toggles between active and standby keyboard mapping also on prompt line HOP ESC k resets keyboard mapping to none (unmapped input) ESC K opens the keyboard mapping menu also on prompt line HOP ESC K cycles through available keyboard mappings Note: As some typical keyboard mappings contain ambigous key sequences where one may be a prefix of another, a short delay is applied in these cases to allow recognition of any such sequence to be mapped. The current mapping is indicated by its two-letter script tag in the flags area (top screen line), clicking on it cycles through the available mappings (like HOP ESC K), clicking with the right button opens the Keyboard Mapping menu (like ESC K). With the environment variable MINEDKEYMAP the active or standby mapping can be preselected. The value is a two-letter script tag to set the active mapping, or it is prepended with "-" to set the standby mapping. Example: export MINEDKEYMAP=-gr will set Greek keyboard mapping standby. Known script tags are: ar -> Arabic gr -> Greek el -> Greek he -> Hebrew cy -> Cyrillic ru -> Cyrillic Options and further features ---------------------------- Bidirectional terminal support: To run mined on a bidirectional terminal (such as mlterm), disable the scrollbar with the option -o. In this mode, when displaying a menu, underlying text lines that contain right-to-left characters are cleared first in order to prevent display confusion between the terminal's bidi algorithm and the menu position. Mined's "poor man's bidirectional support" (which automatically places right-to-left characters to the left of the previous character) was disabled by default in order to support mined's operation with bidirectional terminals. Script colouring: For better recognition of letters that belong to a certain script (where similar looking letters may belong to other scripts), text display uses colours to distinguish letters of various scripts. This is preconfigured for Greek and Cyrillic (which share some letter forms with Latin). Compile-time configuration of further script colouring is available with the file colours.cfg; it contains entries with the script name (as listed in the Unicode data file Scripts.txt), white space, and a colour index into the xterm 256-colour mode. Two "flags menus" were introduced: * one for the Keyboard Mapping (as described above), * the other for Smart Quotes selection; it's popped up with the right mouse button on the smart quotes indication in the flags area; additional commands: ESC Q or Alt-Q: also pops up the Smart Quotes menu HOP ESC Q: cycles through available Smart Quotes When a pull-down menu is opened with the middle mouse button, the HOP version of its items is preselected (can be toggled with middle mouse button as before). -X disables display of the filename in the window title bar. Changed default of -G option (enabling display of control characters as block graphics) to be disabled. Flag indications were slightly tweaked in order to make them more intuitive. Bug fixes: ---------- Fixed a rare bug with ESC u on illegal UTF-8 characters. Clever justification now also considers the bullet sign as a numbering (list item) character. Back-TAB was tweaked not to apply directly below non-space text of the previous line. Fixed some bugs and inconsistent results with shortcuts for composed character input. Added composed character sequences for single-accented extended Latin characters. Extended diacritic transformation function (ESC _) to all two-letter composed characters as configured for input support. ============================================================================= -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
