Detailed Description

A converter which maps between key sequences pressed by the user and the character strings which should be sent to the terminal and commands which should be invoked when those character sequences are pressed.

Konsole supports multiple keyboard translators, allowing the user to specify the character sequences which are sent to the terminal when particular key sequences are pressed.

A key sequence is defined as a key code, associated keyboard modifiers (Shift,Ctrl,Alt,Meta etc.) and state flags which indicate the state which the terminal must be in for the key sequence to apply.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Konsole::KeyboardTranslator::Command

This enum describes commands which are associated with particular key sequences.

Enumerator
NoCommand 

Indicates that no command is associated with this command sequence.

SendCommand 

TODO Document me.

ScrollPageUpCommand 

Scroll the terminal display up one page.

ScrollPageDownCommand 

Scroll the terminal display down one page.

ScrollLineUpCommand 

Scroll the terminal display up one line.

ScrollLineDownCommand 

Scroll the terminal display down one line.

ScrollUpToTopCommand 

Scroll the terminal display up to the start of history.

ScrollDownToBottomCommand 

Scroll the terminal display down to the end of history.

EraseCommand 

Echos the operating system specific erase character.

Definition at line 94 of file KeyboardTranslator.h.

enum Konsole::KeyboardTranslator::State

The meaning of a particular key sequence may depend upon the state which the terminal emulation is in.

Therefore findEntry() may return a different Entry depending upon the state flags supplied.

This enum describes the states which may be associated with a particular entry in the keyboard translation entry.

Enumerator
NoState 

Indicates that no special state is active.

NewLineState 

TODO More documentation.

AnsiState 

Indicates that the terminal is in 'ANSI' mode.

TODO: More documentation

CursorKeysState 

TODO More documentation.

AlternateScreenState 

Indicates that the alternate screen ( typically used by interactive programs such as screen or vim ) is active.

AnyModifierState 

Indicates that any of the modifier keys is active.

ApplicationKeypadState 

Indicates that the numpad is in application mode.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KeyboardTranslator::KeyboardTranslator ( const QString &  name)
explicit

Constructs a new keyboard translator with the given name.

Definition at line 619 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void KeyboardTranslator::addEntry ( const Entry &  entry)

Adds an entry to this keyboard translator's table.

Entries can be looked up according to their key sequence using findEntry()

Definition at line 661 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.

QString KeyboardTranslator::description ( ) const

Returns the descriptive name of this keyboard translator.

Definition at line 641 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.

QList< KeyboardTranslator::Entry > KeyboardTranslator::entries ( ) const

Returns a list of all entries in the translator.

Definition at line 656 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.

KeyboardTranslator::Entry KeyboardTranslator::findEntry ( int  keyCode,
Qt::KeyboardModifiers  modifiers,
States  state = NoState 
) const

Looks for an entry in this keyboard translator which matches the given key code, keyboard modifiers and state flags.

Returns the matching entry if found or a null Entry otherwise ( ie. entry.isNull() will return true )

Parameters
keyCodeA key code from the Qt::Key enum
modifiersA combination of modifiers
stateOptional flags which specify the current state of the terminal

Definition at line 680 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.

QString KeyboardTranslator::name ( ) const

Returns the name of this keyboard translator.

Definition at line 651 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.

Removes an entry from the table.

Definition at line 675 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.

void KeyboardTranslator::replaceEntry ( const Entry &  existing,
const Entry &  replacement 
)

Replaces an entry in the translator.

If the existing entry is null, then this is equivalent to calling addEntry(replacement)

Definition at line 667 of file KeyboardTranslator.cpp.
