Re: [fltk/fltk] Fl_Terminal control character handling (Issue #950) Albrecht Schlosser 15:01 Apr 23  
 

I believe I agree with Greg (if I understand what he wrote correctly): display everything we can to let the user get some clues what's going on.

There might be a few exceptions: if there is an Esc sequence we can't support in Fl_Terminal for some reasons it might be useful to suppress the entire sequence (but these cases should be documented).

Example: I'm thinking of the Esc sequences that switch to double height (and maybe double width) characters, displaying either the top half or the bottom half of the characters. In such a case the program would send two identical lines of text with two different preceding Esc sequences (first line "top half", second line "bottom half"). If we can't display the text accordingly we should document that these Esc sequences are recognized but ignored. Same for similar valid Esc sequences that can't be displayed in Fl_Terminal.
