src/sbbs3 con_out.cpp 1.128 1.129 getstr.cpp 1.38 1.39
Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv27134

Modified Files:
con_out.cpp getstr.cpp
Log Message:
Fix some cosmetic issues with saveline/restoreline and its interaction with getstr's insert mode (Ctrl-V) indicator and edit/line modes. Global Hot Keys (e.g. Ctrl-T) would do weird stuff like return the cursor to the end of the line or redraw the input string multiple times.
So as part of this fix:
- backspasce() now removed the last count characters from the save-line buffer
(it is a destructive backspace afterall).
- outchar('\b') (a non-destructive backspace) adds the \b to the save-line buf - restoreline() now always redraws the current insert/overwrite indicator in
the upper right-most corner fo the screen
- insert_indicator() now uses functions that aren't line-saved.

An unrelated change included in this comment: center() now sends a CR before the cursor movement and centered-text, for times when the current column is *not* already at 0. Very useful for use with @-codes (e.g. display some pattern or "graphics" and then center some text over it).
