It can be used to edit text from a file. It's like a simple text editor, with these keys implemented: PGDN - Move down one page PGUP - Move up one page DOWN - Move down one line UP - Move up one line DELETE - Delete the current character BACKSPC - Delete the previous character Unlike Xdialog, it does not do these: CTRL C - Copy text CTRL V - Paste text Because dialog normally uses TAB for moving between fields, this editbox uses CTRL/V as a literal-next character. You can enter TAB characters by first pressing CTRL/V. This example contains a few tab characters. It supports the mouse - but only for positioning in the editbox, or for clicking on buttons. Your terminal (emulator) may support cut/paste. Try to input some text below: EOF $DIALOG --title "EDIT BOX" \ --fixed-font "$@" --editbox $input 20 40 2>$output retval=$? . ./report-edit |
