      Optionally distinguish between timeout and NUL inkey() result · 18bbb277
      Rob Swindell authored
      Some terminals can send NUL (ASCII 0), e.g. hitting Ctrl-Space in Apple iTerm. Allow users of inkey() (in C++ or JS) to optionally detect the difference by specifying the K_NUL mode flag. In JS, console.inkey() will return null upon timeout (rather than "") when the K_NUL mode flag is used and return an empty string ("") upon receipt of NUL (ASCII 0).
      
      The default is the previous behavior where a timeout and the receipt of a NUL character appear the same to the caller of inkey().

      Replace ctype.h function calls with new MSVC-safe XPDEV macros · ec20d959
      Rob Swindell authored
      I'm fed-up with MSVC assertions in ctype functions (e.g. isdigit, isprint, isspace, etc.) when called with out-of-range (e.g. negative) values.
      
      This problem only affects MSVC debug builds, but if you run them (like I do), these things are like little time bombs that can drive you crazy (knocking your board out of service).
      
      The new macros names are bit more descriptive as well.

      Support PETSCII terminals connected to non-PETSCII ports · a1652355
      Rob Swindell authored
      The reported problem (by John "Jay" Crutti) was:
      If autodetection of the terminal is used from the defaults menu I get stuck on the prompt to hit my Delete key because on the BBS, it keeps showing me login statistics every time I hit my delete key. 
      
      Add/use new K_CTRLKEYS mode to stop inkey() from handling/eating control-keys (e.g. Ctrl-T) when asking user to hit backspace during defaults->terminal settings.
      
      Allow PETSCII_DELETE (Ctrl-T) as a valid option when asking for the backspace/delete key and set the PETSCII flag in the autoterm variable if hit by the user.

      Support manual terminal columns setting per user · cb442b53
      Rob Swindell authored
      The default terminal columns (still 0/auto) can be overridden with the 'L' command from the user defaults menu. 
      
      Also increased maximum manual terminal rows setting from 99 to 999 - this involved moving the record in user.dat, though the old record value is auto-migrated.

      Fix JS global object corruption when invoking JS global hotkey handlers · cb5188bd
      Rob Swindell authored
      As reported by Ragnarok and The Lizard Master, invoking a JS global
      hot-key handler (e.g. hitting Ctrl-U or Ctrl-P with the privatemsg
      or nodelist modules installed as handlers) would lead to the global
      object being cleared/corrupted so other scripts would then fail to
      run correctly (e.g. Error: can't open sbbsdefs.js: No such file or directory)
      
      This probably explains the JS_GC/JS_ENDREQUEST change needed when
      the hotkey-specific JS runtime/context/scope was introduced last year.
      Should revisit that too.

      Use the SGR extended mouse coordinate reporting. · 36964b35
      rswindell authored
      Support a "mouse pass-through" console status flag to allow the pass-through of uncaptured mouse reports (e.g. for hot-spots) to other tasks/scripts. When there are no active hot-spots, this is the normal behavior.
      This commit leaves the legacy X10 mouse report handling/pass-through logic in. But I'll likely be removing that soon.

      rswindell authored
      Both hungry/liberal hot-spots and strict hot-spots can be defined now, at the same time. For Nelgin.
      Use ^A` to define a single-char strict hot-spot using Ctrl-A codes. Unfortunately, this usurps the "home" Ctrl-A code which nothing seems to use but has now been changed to ^A'.
      Use ` instead of ~ in mnemonics to define strict single-char hot-spots (also displays the cmd key in [] instead () on non ANSI/PETSCII terms).
      Use @` instead of @~ codes to define strict hot-keys.
      Use HOT:STRICT @-code to declare a strict hot-key color.
      Use HOT:HUNGRY @-code to toggle back to hungry color-defined hot-keys (the default).
      New optional boolean argument to JS console.add_hotkey(), hungry = true by default.

      2 more uses of the "HOT" @-code: · b468feda
      rswindell authored
      - "HOT" by itself will set the hot-spot attribute to the *current* attribute
        (just colorize the @-code in your editor the same as you do your cmd keys
        no need to memorize color-code mnemonics)
      - "HOT:OFF" will turn off the hot-spot attribute through the end of the text or   util re-enabled
      - Use a more greedy/liberal hot-spot matching algoirthm so that hot spots can overlap and the "best" one will be chosen. No way to opt-out of this algorithm (e.g. to use a conservative matching algo) currently.
      - Earlier parse of @~ codes to keep text prestine

      - When all hot spots have scrolled off the screen, clear the hot spot list
      - Insert new hot spots in the front of the list so they will take precedence
        over any previously defined duplicate hot spots
      - Numeric hot spot commands end in a carriage-return
      - No auto-acceptence of numbers when there are keys in the keyboard buffer
      - Baja UNGETKEY function now inserts keys into the "front" of the keyboard
        buffer (next to be consumed)
      - Hot key @-code command text supports C-style escape sequences
        (allows encoding of ctrl chars, spaces, etc.)

      Add mouse hot spot support: · 87c9982c
      rswindell authored
      - hot spots are clickable screen areas (e.g. in menus and prompts) that   generate key-strokes
      - commands may be from 1 to 127 ASCII-characters in length
      - currently using the X10 mouse reporting mode, may change
      - all mnemonics strings (~Example) are automatically hot-spots
      - The new ~ @-code defines a hot spot
      - Any screen-clear operation clears all hot spots
      - sbbs now tracks the current screen (cursor position) row
      - eliminated the old "tos" (top-of-screen) boolean (row == 0 indicates "tos")
      - created an sbbs_t::ungetstr() method
      - keep track if in pause (hit a key) prompt, for special mouse behavior
      
      new JS console object:
      - row property
      - tos property is now read-only (and deprecated)
      - new methods:
        add_hotspot()
        clear_hotspots()
        scroll_hotspots()

      Invoking a JavaScripot global hot key event handler (e.g. nodelist.js) *while* · c912ee30
      rswindell authored
      running a JavaScript module would crash (e.g. segfault) sbbs:
      Create and use a separate JS runtime, context, and global object/scope for
      global hotkey events. This means that the hotkey won't benefit from any
      previously loaded/required scripts, possibly effecting the performance of the
      first invocation of the hotkey handler. Subsequent JS hotkey events will reuse
      the same runtime/context/global, so they'll execute fast(er).
      
      One questionalbe change to js_execfile():
      With the JS_GC (garbage collection) call *before* the JS_ENDREQUEST() call, the
      process would crash in libmozjs. Moving the JS_GC() call to *after* the
      JS_ENDREQUEST() resolved this issue and I'm not clear why. This 'js_cx'
      parameter here is not always sbbs_t::js_cx. When called to handle a JS hotkey
      event, it's sbbs_t::js_hotkey_cx, so it shouldn't interfere with the
      sbs_t::js_cx being used by the currently executing JS module (shell or door).

      Since not *everything* that #include's sbbs.h needs the PETSCII defs,
      remove it from sbbs.h and just #include petdefs.h where we need it.
      The catch-all header file is a problematic organizational design and we are
      moving away from that.

      The big PETSCII commit: · 31303187
      rswindell authored
      So Omegix recently asked in the Synchronet Discussion group whether or not
      a PETSCII (Commodore) terminal could be used to access his Synchronet BBS.
      Now, the answer is "Yes". :-)
      The major issues addressed:
      
      - detecting a PETSCII terminal, solved by assigning specific (configurable):
        TCP ports to be used for incoming PETSCII connections, by default:
        port 64 is for 40-column PETSCII and port 128 is for 80-column PETSCII,
        but if the terminal sends a Telnet Window Size reply (e.g. SyncTERM), then
        either size terminal should fine on either port.
        The port numbers are configurable in the [BBS] section of your sbbs.ini
        file using the new keys: PET40Port (default value: 64) and PET80Port
        (default value: 128). Having these keys set doesn't make make the terminal
        server listen on that additional port - you'll need to add more
        IP:port combinations to one of Interfaces values, example:
          TelnetInterface=71.95.196.34,71.95.196.34:64,71.95.196.34:128
        And you don't have to use Telnet for the PETSCII connections - you could use
        RLogin or SSH instead (or in addition).
      
      - support for terminal widths < 80 columns:
        This was achieved through a combination of text.dat changes (numerous),
        new Ctrl-A and @-codes and new optional terminal-width-specific menu files
        (e.g. text/menu/main.40col.asc)
        A side effect of these changes is actually better support for terminals
        *wider* than 80 columns as well!
      
      - support for terminals that don't expand tabs to spaces (e.g. PETSCII):
        The terminal server now handles tab expansion with a run-time settable
        tab-size (default size: 8)
      
      - conditional access based on PETSCII (or small) terminal use (or not):
        + New PETSCII ARS keyword (boolean)
        + New COLS and ROWS ARS keywords (for terminal width and height requirements)
        + New TERM (string) ARS keyword
      
      New @-codes:
        - WORDWRAP, when placed at the top of a file, enables auto-wordwrap for
                    lines longer than the terminal width
        - CENTER, the text following before an end of line will be displayed centered
                  on the terminal (whatever the width, in columns)
        - CLEAR, like CLS, except it ignores (doesn't display) a CRLF that follows
        - COLS, current number of terminal columns (width)
        - ROWS, current number of terminal rows (height)
        - TERM, the auto-detected or reported terminal type (e.g. ANSI, TTY, etc.)
        - SYSONLY, toggles "echo" (display) off/back-on for non-sysops
                  similar to the Ctrl-A( and ) codes, but more convenient to use
                  (and PabloDraw won't strip the @-code from the file like it does
                   with Ctrl-A codes it doesn't support)
      
      New Ctrl-A codes:
        - \ conditional new-line/continuation when the terminal width is < 80 cols
            prints the new text.dat string LongLineContinuationPrefix
      
      yesno() will now return true if passed a blank string.
      noyes() will now return false if passed a blank string.
      getstr()'s input length limiting based on terminal width is more broadly
                 applied now (not just when using the K_LINE mode flag).
      
      New JS bbs object method: menu_exists(<base_filename>) returns Boolean
      New JS console object property: tabstop (Number)
      New JS console object methods: getbyte() and putbyte() to recv/send raw byte
          value with (very little) interpretation/intervention by the terminal server
      New JS console object method: creturn() - performs a carriage return
          (or equivalent)
      New JS (and C) printfile() mode flag: P_TRUNCATE, causes long lines to be
          truncated, rather than displaying causing a line-wrap.
      
      New text.dat strings:
        - NoAccessTerminal (for ARS check failures)
        - LongLineContinuationPrefix (for breaking long lines for 40col terminals)
        - Scanning (replaces a previously hard-coded "Scanning" string)
        - Done (replaces a previusly hard-coded "Done")
        - Scanned  (when finished scannning, clears the progress bar)

      Change how the global hot key recursion control (hostkey_inside) works: · 32662bbc
      rswindell authored
      from a counter, which allowed 2 depths of nesting (any 2 hot key handlers)
      to a bit-mask which disallows *any* hot key handler to be re-entrant, but
      you can enter any of the *other* hot key handlers from any *other* hot
      key handler.
      
      Previously, for example, you could hit Ctrl-P to enter the private message
      prompt and then Ctrl-P again to re-enter the private message prompt
      (recusively) - confusingly, requiring 2 'Q'uits to get back to whatever
      you were doing before you hit the first Ctrl-P. Been like this forever.
      Now, while in the Ctrl-P (private message) handler, hitting Ctrl-P again
      does nothing. But you can hit Ctrl-T, or Ctrl-K or any other global hot
      key and it'll work but those in turn will also disallow recursion of their
      own handlers.
