Xliff lizmat: I'm trying to detect function keys like F1, F2, etc... do you know of a good mechanism in Raku for that? 10:02
lizmat nope :-(
10:02 labster left
Xliff :( 10:02
Term::ReadKey gives you the sequences, but that's hard to switch into F1/F2 and such because you have to build the sequences manually. 10:03
Inline::Perl5 is still br0kered. 10:04
m: use CPAN:from<Perl5>
camelia ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Please install Inline::Perl5 for Perl 5 support.
at <tmp>:1
Xliff Ah.
lizmat Xliff: looks like you will need to make a supply converter 10:05
Xliff How would that work? 10:10
lizmat github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...s.pm6#L498 gives a nice example of that 10:12
Xliff Not really. That's a lot of code with no examples. :) 10:13
lizmat method produce 10:14
taking a Supply, and producing another Supply
Xliff And how does that apply to keystroke sequences? 10:15
lizmat Term::Readkey produces a Supply, right ?
Xliff Yes.... it can.
lizmat key-pressed 10:16
the problem is that function keys are emitted as more than one value by that supply, right ?
Xliff Yes. 10:18
I've only ever used supplies as event handlers.
I've never used them for things like lists, so this is new to me.
So can you get a Supply to take successive values and then check if that list is (1, 2, 3, 4)? 10:19
lizmat the Supply produce method is an example of a taking a supply, and collecting info from a given supply, and emitting values on a new supply
yup, just collect them, and pass them on when it matches your idea of a sensible sequence 10:20
Xliff Is there an example of this?
lizmat the link I just posted ?
Xliff That's the source for produce. Not an example. 10:21
And the docs have this: docs.raku.org/type/Supply#method_produce 10:22
Which is just a sum, not a sequence tracker.
lizmat gist.github.com/lizmat/737f60089a9...bbfed4f17d 10:26
I mean, it's very simplified

Xliff It would be nice if Supply.tail(3) would automatically give me the last 3 values emitted. 10:44
10:54 jjido joined
lizmat it doesn't? 11:02
it should? 11:03
ah, you mean "the last 3 values emitted before the current value" 11:04
Xliff: but that wouldn't help you, would it? because it would pass on invalid values also? 11:05

SmokeMachine then I think I gon't get what the problem is... :(
Xliff The valies come one at a time, therefore .rotor and .tail don't wokr.
So it's more like... 12:36
SmokeMachine but it works with that coming aone at a time...

Xliff That might work.
SmokeMachine the rotor I'm using is not the List's one, but the Supply's one

Xliff SmokeMachine: OK, after attempts I have managed to get this: "use Term::ReadKey; react { whenever key-pressed( :!echo ).rotor(4) { .map( *.ord ).say }; }; 13:21
However, if the return sequence isn't 3 characters, I have to wait until a 4th character comes before I can act on the input. 13:22
The problem is I need to be able to act on sequences of an arbitrary number of values 13:24
F1-F4 have 3 characters per sequence. 13:25
F-F10 have 5 characters.
s/F-F10/F5-F10/ 13:26
How can the supply pattern handle that in a non-blocking way?

Xliff How can I detect if $*OUT is redirected to a file? 14:23
Oh! .t is available. Excellent! 14:25
japhb Oh dear lord, don't do this by hand! 14:27
Xliff: See Terminal::ANSIParser if you absolutely need the key sequence yourself. 14:28
See Terminal::LineEditor (and its guts) if you want to learn more about how to use a parsed ANSI sequence 14:29
See also Terminal::Widgets (and its guts) for an even more advanced user of same
14:29 Nemokosch1 joined 14:31 Nemokosch left
japhb In particular Terminal::LineEditor::RawTerminalInput and Terminal::Widgets::Terminal may be of use. 14:32
Do we still have a knowledge bot in channel? 14:33
Xliff japhb: Oh. Thank. You. Jeebus!
I just wanna get the keystrokes.
japhb I feel like I need to create a bot that detects Term::ReadKey and goes "YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT THAT, PLEASE LOOK OVER HERE." ;-)
Xliff YES, PLS!
:-)
I thought I looked at Terminal::Widgets. But it was late at night. I want to put an interface on this app I am writing for $dayJob. 14:34
japhb Terminal::Widgets only has a very small actual widget set. Most of my available hours were spent on getting the guts right. 14:35
So that's completely understandable.
I mean, it's usable for some things, with some work on your part, but certainly not "out of the box ready" 14:36
Xliff japhb: I am most happy to PR the parts I need that aren't there.
I just need something to take keystrokes and give me: F1, or F2, etc
japhb Look at Terminal::LineEditor::RawTerminalInput, that should give you an idea how I wrapped up usage of Terminal::ANSIParser. 14:37
BTW, I gave a talk on all this at the last Raku conf.
conf.raku.org/talk/178 (It's not technical, but the second half does show you what each of the Terminal::Modules do. The first half talks about *why* I've been going through all this pain.) 14:39
Xliff So far, not seeing any function key symbols.
Ooh! Watching, now.
japhb github.com/japhb/Terminal-LineEdit...akumod#L21 14:40
The next couple hundred lines have structures and declarations for decoding the result of Terminal::ANSIParser; starting around github.com/japhb/Terminal-LineEdit...kumod#L356 are the input and output pumps for the ANSI parser. 14:42
(And the length of all that is why I suggest just using the module. ;-) 14:43
14:46 razetime joined 14:53 Nemokosch1 left 14:54 Nemokosch joined
Xliff japhb: So how is ::RawTerminalInput used? 15:06
japhb: This doesn't seem to be sufficient. All of your examples focus on line, not key based input handling... 15:20
japhb Xliff: Starting here: github.com/japhb/Terminal-LineEdit...kumod#L652 you can see how all of that is used to make a single-line line editor input. github.com/japhb/Terminal-Widgets/...al.rakumod shows using the building blocks to form an event pump for terminal events.
Xliff: Have you watched the whole video? :-) 15:21
Xliff --> "use Terminal::LineEditor; use Terminal::LineEditor::RawTerminalInput; my $cli = Terminal::LineEditor::CLIInput.new; $cli.start-decoder; react { whenever $cli.decoded { say $_ } }
Not yet. I am doing like... 3 things at once. I'm in the middle of the workday, here.
japhb AH!
Xliff I got as far as your Basic games books and cracked up laughing. Got strange looks, here.
=D
I think I had those. 15:22
japhb Terminal::LineEditor::CLIInput *uses* the real-time key handling to create a line editor. But that's just the cap on that particular stack. ;-)
:-D
Love it!
