[Bug 36704] New: wine cmd uses overwrite mode instead of insert mode
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36704 Bug ID: 36704 Summary: wine cmd uses overwrite mode instead of insert mode Product: Wine Version: 1.7.19 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: cmd Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: aerilius(a)googlemail.com When you start 'wine cmd' from gnome-terminal, it launches the wine command interpreter embedded in gnome-terminal. When you use the arrow keys to modify a command that you just typed, it is set to overwrite (replace characters) instead of inserting inbetween. However, gnome-terminal uses insert mode and that is what the user was using just moments before. I believe Windows 7 also uses insert mode (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff758104.aspx) and if there is not a good reason against it, it would make sense to have it as default in wine, or better to inherit such a setting from the shell/desktop environment.

The attached patch should do what you want. You will need to patch the source tree using the -p1 flag. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36704 --- Comment #3 from Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster(a)outlook.com> --- That patch needs to be revised before it can be submitted. I'll try to take a look at it this week. Of course, whether a patch is accepted largely depends on the maintainer. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36704 --- Comment #4 from Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster(a)outlook.com> --- This bug has become a problem. I personally prefer the benefits of console InsertMode and I know other users do too. Qian Hong, for one, has expressed the same sentiment in an email discussion of console issues. I have also spoken (i.e. emailed) with Jason Edmeades, a developer with considerable knowledge of Wine's cmd implementation, and he said he had no problem with enabling InsertMode. --- I am currently writing conformance tests for InsertMode. Related patches are in 'pending' status. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
