  • Insert/Overwrite with getstr()

    From Blakdeth@VERT/MASQBBS to All on Fri May 30 13:46:36 2008
    I am currently working on a Javascript Synchronet (3.15a) modification that uses the console.getstr() to allow the user to edit a line of text.

    I would like the user to be able to select either insert or overwrite mode while editing this string. While ^V works for this purpose, I am hoping to also allow the use of the INS key. Currently, when the user is editing the string, pressing INS generates "[@" instead of toggling the input mode.

    Is there a way to capture this key press?

    Thanks,
    -bd

    Yeah... I added a fix... get tomorrows nightly build. :-)

    Out of curiosity, do you know what client was being used?
