The "lineedit" library provides a
quick way to implement nice line
editing into applications.
It requires the user to store the
line and the cursor position for the
line, which allows the user to
implement any additional logic for
the application.
(To clarify, this implies that the
library's functions are stateless.)
The functions are as follows:
draw = function (sW, line, curX, rX):
Returns the spantext.
sW is the width of the area.
line is the safeTextFormatted text.
curX is the cursor in screen units
(usually done as part of the text
formatting)
This is optional, and if not provided
the cursor will not be shown.
rX is an optional camera override.
If not provided, the cursor will be
used; if that is not provided, then
the left side will be shown.
clamp = function (line, curX):
Returns curX clamped to the line's
length (does not check for < 1).
key = function (ks, kc, line, curX):
Performs something.
ks, if truthy, is the unicode.char
of the key event key character.
kc is the key event keycode.
(If feeding in clipboard characters,
use 0 here.)
line is the text.
This returns three values, any of
which or all of which may be nil for
a 'no effect' response:
The new line text, 'lT'.
The new curX, 'lC'.
The extended action, 'lX'.
The following extended actions exist:
"l<": The cursor should be warped to
the end of the previous line, if one
exists (if not, do nothing)
"l>": The cursor should be warped to
the start of the next line, if one
exists (if not, do nothing)
"w<": This line should be welded to
the previous line, and the cursor
should be placed at the weld point.
"w>": This line should be welded to
the next line, and the cursor
should be placed at the weld point.
"nl": The Enter button was pressed.
