From: Avi Halachmi Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 14:38:35 +0000 (+0200) Subject: lineedit: improve multiline PS1 - redraw using last PS1 line. Closes 10381 X-Git-Tag: 1_28_0~39 X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0fd5dbba8f34e006aa0e999002d31e79daf2fdf3;p=oweals%2Fbusybox.git lineedit: improve multiline PS1 - redraw using last PS1 line. Closes 10381 This patch only affects prompts with newlines. We redraw the prompt [+ input] occasionally, e.g. during tab completion, history browsing or search, etc, and we expect it to align with prior redraws, such that the visible effect is that only the input changes. With multi-line PS1, redraw always printed the prompt some lines below the old one, which resulted in terminal scroll during every redraw. Now we only redraw the last PS1 line, so vertical alignment is easier to manage (we already calculated it using only the last line, but re-drew all lines - that was the culprit), which fixes those extra scrolls. Notes: - We now use the full prompt for the initial draw, after clear-screen (^L), and after tab-completion choices are displayed. Everything else now redraws using the last/sole prompt line. - During terminal resize we now only redraw the last[/sole] prompt line, which is arguably better because it's hard to do right (and we never did). - Good side effect for reverse-i-search: its prompt now replaces only the last line of the original prompt - like other shells do. function old new delta put_prompt_custom - 66 +66 draw_custom - 66 +66 parse_and_put_prompt 766 806 +40 read_line_input 3867 3884 +17 input_tab 1069 1076 +7 cmdedit_setwidth 61 63 +2 redraw 59 47 -12 put_prompt 46 - -46 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 2/1 grow/shrink: 4/1 up/down: 198/-58) Total: 140 bytes Signed-off-by: Avi Halachmi Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko --- diff --git a/libbb/lineedit.c b/libbb/lineedit.c index 3a092ffe2..c0e35bb21 100644 --- a/libbb/lineedit.c +++ b/libbb/lineedit.c @@ -37,11 +37,6 @@ * * Unicode in PS1 is not fully supported: prompt length calulation is wrong, * resulting in line wrap problems with long (multi-line) input. - * - * Multi-line PS1 (e.g. PS1="\n[\w]\n$ ") has problems with history - * browsing: up/down arrows result in scrolling. - * It stems from simplistic "cmdedit_y = cmdedit_prmt_len / cmdedit_termw" - * calculation of how many lines the prompt takes. */ #include "busybox.h" #include "NUM_APPLETS.h" @@ -133,7 +128,7 @@ struct lineedit_statics { unsigned cmdedit_x; /* real x (col) terminal position */ unsigned cmdedit_y; /* pseudoreal y (row) terminal position */ - unsigned cmdedit_prmt_len; /* length of prompt (without colors etc) */ + unsigned cmdedit_prmt_len; /* on-screen length of last/sole prompt line */ unsigned cursor; int command_len; /* must be signed */ @@ -143,6 +138,7 @@ struct lineedit_statics { CHAR_T *command_ps; const char *cmdedit_prompt; + const char *prompt_last_line; /* last/sole prompt line */ #if ENABLE_USERNAME_OR_HOMEDIR char *user_buf; @@ -185,6 +181,7 @@ extern struct lineedit_statics *const lineedit_ptr_to_statics; #define command_len (S.command_len ) #define command_ps (S.command_ps ) #define cmdedit_prompt (S.cmdedit_prompt ) +#define prompt_last_line (S.prompt_last_line) #define user_buf (S.user_buf ) #define home_pwd_buf (S.home_pwd_buf ) #define matches (S.matches ) @@ -437,14 +434,20 @@ static void beep(void) bb_putchar('\007'); } -static void put_prompt(void) +/* Full or last/sole prompt line, reset edit cursor, calculate terminal cursor. + * cmdedit_y is always calculated for the last/sole prompt line. + */ +static void put_prompt_custom(bool is_full) { - fputs(cmdedit_prompt, stdout); + fputs((is_full ?
