display terminals on Unix-like systems &ndash; such as for <a name="(idx._(gentag._0))"></a>GNU Screen and <a name="(idx._(gentag._1))"></a><span class="RktSym">tmux</span><span class="RktMeta"></span> sessions on <a name="(idx._(gentag._2))"></a>cloud servers, <a name="(idx._(gentag._3))"></a>XTerm windows on a workstation desktop, and some older hardware
terminals (even the venerable <a name="(idx._(gentag._4))"></a>DEC VT100).  Currently, it implements a subset of features available on most
terminals.</div><div class="SIntrapara">This package could be used to implement a status/management console
for a Racket-based server process (perhaps run in GNU Screen or <span class="RktSym">tmux</span><span class="RktMeta"></span> on a server machine, to be detached and reattached from SSH
sessions), a lightweight user interface for a systems tool, a command-line
REPL, a text editor, creative retro uses of old equipment, and, perhaps most
importantly, a Rogue-like application.</div><div class="SIntrapara">The CharTerm package does not include any native code (such as from <a name="(idx._(gentag._5))"></a><span class="RktSym">terminfo</span><span class="RktMeta"></span>, <a name="(idx._(gentag._6))"></a><span class="RktSym">termcap</span><span class="RktMeta"></span>, <a name="(idx._(gentag._7))"></a><span class="RktSym">curses</span><span class="RktMeta"></span>, or <a name="(idx._(gentag._8))"></a><span class="RktSym">ncurses</span><span class="RktMeta"></span>) in the Racket process,
such as through the Racket FFI or C extensions, so there is less potential for
a problem involving native code to threaten the reliability or security of a
program.  CharTerm is implemented in pure Racket code except for executing <span class="RktSym">/bin/stty</span><span class="RktMeta"></span> for some purposes.  Specifically, <span class="RktSym">/bin/stty</span><span class="RktMeta"></span> at startup time and shutdown time, to set modes, and (for terminal
types that don&rsquo;t seem to support a screen size report control sequence) when
getting screen size.  Besides security and stability, lower dependence on
native code might also simplify porting to host platforms that don&rsquo;t have those
native code facilities.</div></p><h4>1.1<tt>&nbsp;</tt><a name="(part._.Demo)"></a>Demo</h4><p><div class="SIntrapara">For a demonstration, the following command, run from a terminal, should install the CharTerm package (if not already installed), and run the demo:</div><div class="SIntrapara"><span class="hspace">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="stt">racket -pm neil/charterm/demo</span></div><div class="SIntrapara">This demo reports what keys you pressed, while letting you edit a
text field, and while displaying a clock.  The clock is updated roughly once
per second, and is not updated during heavy keyboard input, such as when typing
fast.  The demo responds to changing terminal sizes, such as when an XTerm is
window is resized.  It also displays the determined terminal size, and some
small tests of the <span class="RktPn">#:width</span> argument to <span class="RktSym">charterm-display</span>.  Exit the demo by pressing the <span style="font-weight: bold">Esc</span> key.</div><div class="SIntrapara">Note: Although this demo includes an editable text field, as proof
of concept, the current version of CharTerm does not provide editable text fields as reusable functionality.</div></p><h4>1.2<tt>&nbsp;</tt><a name="(part._.Simple_.Example)"></a>Simple

encoding.</div><div class="SIntrapara">The CharTerm author was motivated to increase the sophistication of its
keyboard handling after a series of revelations on the Sunday of the long
weekend in which CharTerm was initially written.  The first was discovering that four of the
function keys that had been working fine in <span class="RktSym">rxvt</span><span class="RktMeta"></span> did not work in XTerm.  Dave Gilbert somewhat demystified this by
pointing out that the original VT100 had only four function keys, which set
into motion an unfortunate series of bad decisions by various developers of
terminal software to be needlessly incompatible with each other.  After
Googling, a horrifying 2005 Web post by Phil Gregory [<a href="/#%28tech._gregory%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">Gregory</span></a>], which showed that key encoding among XTerm variants was even
worse than one could ever fear.  Even if one already knew how much subtleties
of old terminals varied (e.g., auto-newline behavior, whether an attribute
change consumed a space, etc.), this incompatibility in newer software was
surprising. Then, on a hunch, I tried the Linux Console on a Debian Squeeze
machine, which surely is ANSI, and found, however, that it generated <span style="font-style: italic">yet different</span> byte sequences, for the first <span style="font-style: italic">five</span> (not four) function keys.  Then I compared all to the [<a href="/#%28tech._ecma._48%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">ECMA-48</span></a>] standard, which turns out to be nigh-inscrutable, so which might
help explain why everyone became so anti-social.</div><div class="SIntrapara">CharTerm now provides the abstractions of <a href="/#%28tech._keyset%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">keysets</span></a> and <a href="/#%28tech._keydec%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">keydecs</span></a> to deal with this diversity in a maintainable way.</div></p><h5>2.2.1<tt>&nbsp;</tt><a name="(part._.Keylabel)"></a>Keylabel</h5><p>A <a name="(tech._keylabel)"></a><span style="font-style: italic">keylabel</span> is a Racket string for how a key is likely labeled on a particular terminal&rsquo;s keyboard.  Different keyboards may have different keylabels for the same <a href="/#%28tech._keycode%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">keycode</span></a>.  For example, a VT100 has a <span style="font-weight: bold">PF1</span> key (keylabel <span class="RktVal">"PF1"</span>, keycode <span class="RktVal">'</span><span class="RktVal">f1</span>), while many other keyboards would label the key <span style="font-weight: bold">F1</span> (keylabel <span class="RktVal">"F1"</span>, keycode <span class="RktVal">'</span><span class="RktVal">f1</span>).  The keylabel currently is most useful for documenting and debugging, although it could later be used when giving instructions to the user, such as knowing whether to tell the user the <span style="font-weight: bold">Return</span> key or the <span style="font-weight: bold">Enter</span> key; the <span style="font-weight: bold">Backspace</span> or the <span style="font-weight: bold">Rubout</span> key; etc.</p><h5>2.2.2<tt>&nbsp;</tt><a name="(part._.Keycode)"></a>Keycode</h5><p><div class="SIntrapara">A <a name="(tech._keycode)"></a><span style="font-style: italic">keycode</span> is a value representing a key read from a terminal, which can be a Racket character, symbol, or number.
