Subject: [PATCH 7/9] built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences in interactive.singlekey mode
Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2019 22:41:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fd5a12977609f69790fd2405baf5836add434cef.1576968120.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.175.git.1576968120.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

This recapitulates part of b5cc003253c8 (add -i: ignore terminal escape
sequences, 2011-05-17):

    add -i: ignore terminal escape sequences

    On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and
    thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite
    dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [
    characters and happily treat A as "discard everything".

    As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities.
    Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[
    (i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence.  Finally, given an
    input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a
    full escape sequence, then return that to the caller.  We use a
    timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck
    if the user actually input a lone ^[.

    Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net
    result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help
    displayed.

Note that we leave part for later which uses "Term::Cap to get all
terminal capabilities", for several reasons:

1. it is actually not really necessary, as the timeout of 0.5 seconds
   should be plenty sufficient to catch Escape sequences,

2. it is cleaner to keep the change to special-case Escape sequences
   separate from the change that reads all terminal capabilities to
   speed things up, and

3. in practice, relying on the terminal capabilities is a bit overrated,
   as the information could be incomplete, or plain wrong. For example,
   in this developer's tmux sessions, the terminal capabilities claim
   that the "cursor up" sequence is ^[M, but the actual sequence
   produced by the "cursor up" key is ^[[A.
