04:39 <brocellous> Ok so, this isn't foot related but I dunno where else to ask: how can I create a custom terminfo? I want to create a terminfo for the linux console that advertises smkx/rmkx support. afaict it has supported the necessary escapes since the beginning of time idk why terminfo doesn't have them.

04:39 <brocellous> The terminfo(5) manpage has a section about similar terminals which seems very relevant, and an example which removes smkx/rmkx settings

04:41 <brocellous> but I just can't tell what it's talking about with the "use=" clause, since termfino db don't have a plaaintext format I don't know where/how a use= clause can be applied.

04:42 <brocellous> linux should have smkx='\E[?1h\E=' and rmkx='\E[?1l\E>' afaict

04:51 <brocellous> oh actually I found the tic(1) command and I think I figurd it out. I copied the example with the escapes above and compiled with tic.

05:16 <brocellous> oh dang I was hoping to add control+arrow keys but I don't think it actually supports that.

17:12 <cbb> brocellous: when you say "I don't think it actually supports that"... do you mean the linux console or terminfo?

17:13 <cbb> see `man user_caps` and `infocmp -x tmux` for the terminfo side

17:14 <cbb> the Linux console can be made to support Ctrl+arrows with a little extra configuration

17:19 <cbb> e.g. with a custom KEYMAP= in /etc/vconsole.conf or loadkeys(1)

17:32 <brocellous> cbb: the linux console

17:33 <brocellous> I do use a keymap in console.conf with caps as escape, I'll see if I can get Ctrl+arrow to work.

17:34 <cbb> brocellous: I can share my keymap if it'd help?

17:35 <brocellous> yeah it would

17:39 <cbb> it could perhaps use some more comments, but that's what I've been using for a while

17:40 <brocellous> thanks, I'll check it out

17:40 <cbb> no worries

17:43 <cbb> the F* numbers need to be unique though, so make sure any you've already defined don't clash with those ones
