console emulation option seems broken

Open midwan opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

This has probably been broken for a while, since there haven't been any changes in that area lately, but I still think I should mention it:

  • If you enable the "console emulation" option (-cli), the native console that opens up is getting spammed with qq constantly.
  • If you select the emulation window, the spamming stops.
  • If you go back to the native console, pressing Enter will insert qq again.

I'm guessing this feature is not really used by people, but it is interesting for at least one project I have in mind (running the emulation with a headless/console-only app), so it would be nice if we can get it to work as expected. :)

It has always been broken. Input has never been implemented. It was originally used to boot from current directory in headless mode, run startup-sequence etc and have uaequit at the end to kill it automatically.

Input support was added later but it was never finished. Maybe someday..
