I have a small repl app using curses but I'm facing a problem to add new lines when end of window is reach. Output looks like the following, being ---
the window limits:
---
REPL> :dothis
====> Well done!
REPL> :dothat
====> OK, done
REPL> :dothatagain====> All right...REPL> // can't add more lines :(
---
How do I addstr
when end of window is reached just like a normal terminal buffer? I don't need to scroll back, just write a trail of lines. Is there any window setting to get an infinite vertical window?
Answers in any common language are fine (C preferred)
After some research on curses native API I noticed there is a int scrollok(WINDOW *win, bool bf);
function:
scrollok(*window, true);
I didn't find the function before because the curses biding library I was using didn't have this function implemented so I just made a wrapper for it. Conclusion is to always look at the native curses API when using external language API bidings.
