cl-tty v0.5.0 — Text Input + Keybinding System
Text Input System
The input pipeline has four layers:
- Terminal raw mode — put stdin into non-canonical mode so every keystroke is delivered immediately (no line buffering, no echo).
- Escape sequence parser — read bytes from stdin, classify them as plain characters, modified keys (Ctrl/Alt), cursor keys, function keys, mouse events, or bracketed paste.
- Input widget (TextInput / Textarea) — editable text with cursor, selection, undo/redo, and emacs-style keybindings.
- Keybinding system — layered keymaps that route keystrokes through focused-component → local → global dispatch.
SBCL's sb-posix provides the POSIX terminal APIs (tcgetattr,
tcsetattr, read) needed for raw mode. No external libraries required.
Design decisions
key-eventis a struct — structs generate inline accessors, key/ctrl/alt are fixnum/boolean slots that never need CLOS dispatch.- Mouse events are a separate struct — they carry coordinates and button info that key events don't need.
- Terminal state save/restore is explicit (save/set-raw/restore), not wired into backend lifecycle. Different apps want different modes.
- The parser reads one byte at a time through a state machine, not a buffer-at-once approach. This keeps the implementation simple and handles arbitrary interleaving of terminal output with input.
- SBCL's
defstructgenerates keyword constructors by default — we use them directly without custom:constructoroverrides.
Contract
(key-event key ctrl alt shift code raw text) — struct.
make-key-event :key :enter :ctrl nil creates a key-press event.
key-event-key returns the keyword (:a, :enter, :space,
:up, :f1, etc.).
(mouse-event type button x y raw) — struct.
type is :press, :release, or :drag.
button is :left, :middle, :right, :wheel-up, or :wheel-down.
%split-string string separator → list of strings.
Split a string at each occurrence of SEPARATOR character.
Used internally to split textarea lines.
*current-backend*, *current-theme* — special variables.
Set by the application's main loop. Used by widget render methods
to draw themselves.
save-terminal-state → termios. Capture current terminal settings.
set-raw-mode → termios. Disable ICANON, ECHO, ISIG, IEXTEN. VMIN=1, VTIME=0.
restore-terminal-state termios — restore saved settings.
with-raw-terminal &body body — macro. Save → set raw → body → restore
(via unwind-protect).
read-raw-byte &key timeout → byte or NIL.
Read one byte from fd 0. Blocks indefinitely when timeout=NIL.
Returns NIL on timeout. Uses sb-posix:read.
parse-csi-params → (values params final-byte raw-string).
Read bytes from stdin until a final CSI byte (0x40-0x7E).
Returns list of parameter numbers, the final byte, and the raw string.
parse-sgr-mouse raw → mouse-event or NIL.
Parse "ESC[<Cx;Cy;M/m" format into a structured mouse event.
Converts button codes (0=left, 1=middle, 2=right, 32=motion)
and tracks press vs release vs drag.
%read-escape-sequence → key-event.
Called after reading ESC (0x1b). Dispatches:
- ESC O X → SS3 (F1-F4)
- ESC [ … → CSI (cursors, function keys, mouse)
- ESC ESC → Alt+Escape
- ESC printable → Alt+letter
%read-event &key timeout → key-event, mouse-event, or NIL.
Top-level reader. Handles:
- Printable ASCII (0x20-0x7e) → key :A, :B, …, :~
- Ctrl letters (0x01-0x1a) → :A with ctrl=T
- Tab (0x09), Enter (0x0a, 0x0d)
- Backspace (0x7f, 0x08)
- Escape (0x1b) → delegates to
%read-escape-sequence - High bytes (UTF-8, etc.) → :unknown
:key is always uppercase (interred in KEYWORD package)
to match how the reader interns keyword literals.
read-event (b backend) &key timeout — defmethod.
Backend protocol integration. Probes /dev/stdin and calls %read-event.
text-input — widget class. slots: value, cursor, placeholder,
max-length, on-submit, layout-node, focusable. Inherits dirty-mixin.
make-text-input ... — constructor.
handle-text-input input event — process a key-event:
- Ctrl+A/E → home/end
- Ctrl+W → delete word before
- Ctrl+U → delete to line start
- Ctrl+K → delete to line end
- :enter → on-submit callback
- :left/:right/:home/:end → cursor movement
- :backspace/:delete → char deletion
- printable chars → insert at cursor
textarea — widget class. slots: value, cursor-row, cursor-col,
selection-start, undo/redo stacks (fill-pointer vectors), on-submit,
layout-node, focusable. Inherits dirty-mixin.
make-textarea ... — constructor.
handle-textarea-input ta event — process a key-event:
- All TextInput operations plus:
- Ctrl+Z → undo, Ctrl+Y → redo
- Ctrl+A/E → home/end on current line
- :up/:down → line navigation
- :enter → newline (or on-submit if set)
- :left/:right/:home/:end → cursor movement
- :delete → char at cursor
- :backspace → joins lines at start, deletes char otherwise
%join-lines lines → string.
Join a sequence of strings with #\Newline separators.
Handles both lists and vectors (used throughout textarea).
keymap — struct. slots: name, bindings (alist), parent.
*keymaps* — hash table (test: equal), maps keyword names to keymaps.
*chord-timeout* — seconds (default 0.5).
key-match-p spec event → boolean.
SPEC is a keyword like :ctrl+p (modifier+key, split on +)
or a list like (:ctrl+p) for wrapped specs.
Modified keys match mod-str with string=? — not ~case (EQL trap).
dispatch-key-event event &key component → boolean (handled?).
Routes through: focused-component → :local → :global keymaps.
defkeymap name &body bindings — macro.
Registers a keymap. Each binding: (:ctrl+p . handler-fn).
component-keymap component — generic (returns nil by default).

Implementation
Package
The package uses :cl-tty.backend for backend protocol (draw-text, etc.),
:cl-tty.box for dirty-mixin and rendering pipeline,
and :cl-tty.layout for layout-node.
I export everything users of the input system need: key events, mouse events, terminal raw mode, TextInput, Textarea, and the keybinding system.

Utility: split-string
A simple loop-based split. I avoid using split-sequence from Quicklisp
to keep dependencies minimal — the framework already depends on fiveam and
sb-posix, and adding another dep just for one function is wasteful.
The loop collects subsequences between occurrences of SEPARATOR. The
while pos guard prevents an empty trailing element. For an empty string,
this returns ("") (one empty string), which is the correct behavior for
textarea line splitting — a blank document has one empty line.
(in-package #:cl-tty.input)
(defun %split-string (string separator)
"Split STRING at each occurrence of SEPARATOR. Returns list of strings."
(loop with start = 0
for pos = (position separator string :start start)
collect (subseq string start pos)
while pos
do (setf start (1+ pos))))
Global rendering variables
*current-backend* and *current-theme* are special variables set by the
application's main loop. Widget render methods use them to draw themselves.
Defining them here rather than in the rendering module keeps the dependency
clean — input widgets depend on rendering, not the other way around.
(defvar *current-backend* nil
"The active backend used for rendering.")
(defvar *current-theme* nil
"The active theme used for semantic color resolution.")
Key Event Struct
I chose defstruct over defclass for key events because structs give
inline accessors and value semantics. Every keystroke creates one, and
in the hot path (terminal parsing) we don't want CLOS dispatch overhead.
Key observation about SBCL's defstruct: it generates a keyword constructor
by default. (make-key-event :key :a :ctrl t) is valid out of the box.
I initially wrote a custom (:constructor ...) wrapper and spent hours
debugging argument mismatches — avoid that trap.
