Package cbind

Overview ▾

Package cbind provides tcell key event encoding, decoding and handling.

The NewConfiguration example demonstrates how to use cbind.

There are some limitations on reading keyboard input, which is explained in the tcell.EventKey documentation:

https://godoc.org/github.com/gdamore/tcell#EventKey

Constants

Modifier labels

const (
    LabelCtrl  = "ctrl"
    LabelAlt   = "alt"
    LabelMeta  = "meta"
    LabelShift = "shift"
)

Variables

ErrInvalidKeyEvent is the error returned when encoding or decoding a key event fails.

var ErrInvalidKeyEvent = errors.New("invalid key event")

UnifyEnterKeys is a flag that determines whether or not KPEnter (keypad enter) key events are interpreted as Enter key events. When enabled, Ctrl+J key events are also interpreted as Enter key events.

var UnifyEnterKeys = true

func Decode

func Decode(s string) (mod tcell.ModMask, key tcell.Key, ch rune, err error)

Decode decodes a string as a key or combination of keys.

func Encode

func Encode(mod tcell.ModMask, key tcell.Key, ch rune) (string, error)

Encode encodes a key or combination of keys a string.

type Configuration

Configuration maps keys to event handlers and processes key events.

type Configuration struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewConfiguration

func NewConfiguration() *Configuration

NewConfiguration returns a new input configuration.

Example

Example of creating and using an input configuration.

Code:

// Create a new input configuration to store the key bindings.
c := NewConfiguration()

handleSave := func(ev *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey {
    // Save
    return nil
}

handleOpen := func(ev *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey {
    // Open
    return nil
}

handleExit := func(ev *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey {
    // Exit
    return nil
}

// Bind Alt+s.
if err := c.Set("Alt+s", handleSave); err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("failed to set keybind: %s", err)
}

// Bind Alt+o.
c.SetRune(tcell.ModAlt, 'o', handleOpen)

// Bind Escape.
c.SetKey(tcell.ModNone, tcell.KeyEscape, handleExit)

// Capture input. This will differ based on the framework in use (if any).
// When using tview or cview, call Application.SetInputCapture before calling
// Application.Run.
// app.SetInputCapture(c.Capture)

func (*Configuration) Capture

func (c *Configuration) Capture(ev *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey

Capture handles key events.

Example

Example of capturing key events.

Code:

// See the end of the NewConfiguration example.

func (*Configuration) Clear

func (c *Configuration) Clear()

Clear removes all handlers.

func (*Configuration) Set

func (c *Configuration) Set(s string, handler func(ev *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey) error

Set sets the handler for a key event string.

func (*Configuration) SetKey

func (c *Configuration) SetKey(mod tcell.ModMask, key tcell.Key, handler func(ev *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey)

SetKey sets the handler for a key.

func (*Configuration) SetRune

func (c *Configuration) SetRune(mod tcell.ModMask, ch rune, handler func(ev *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey)

SetRune sets the handler for a rune.
