I just read the ``man terminfo" on my linux box.
It is fucking frightening!
@Chris: Not sure whether or not it is good idea
to be compatible with everybody if you want to
change this.
@pancake: In fact, I think this is not much of a
problem because all main terminal emulators
use [1]. For the mom
you may probably want to look at my r_cons and r_line libraries from r2.
i do buffering, autocomplete, screen filling, and works on w32 console, and
most of terminals (st, xterm...) without guessing the termcodes. i just
hardcode them.

Replacing ncurses with a hardcoded library is not a workable approach.
Unix systems today are accessed from far more environments

Thanks for the pointer. I just read Chapter 6 and I agree with
most of it. Is there any plans for st to go towards a ``good"
direction ? I mean using maybe unusual but saner control
or escape sequences, support all colors (2^24 or 2^32) at
the same time ? Writing a saner library than ncurses that

Hi,
This is not a question about st in particular. Have you any
stuff for me to read or explain to me why each terminal
(linux, xterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal, konsole) has its own
strings for keys like insert, delete, function keys ? They vary
from terminal to terminal, why ?
Guillaume.
