Modified Files:
src/sbbs3/atcodes.cpp
Log Message:
New @-code: !x to perform Ctrl-A style terminal/attribute control

Most Ctrl-A code terminal/attribute effects can now be invoked via @!x@ where x is one or more Ctrl-A sequence operands (e.g. @!B@ to set the current attribute to blue, @!P@ to pause the terminal). Multiple attribute codes may be specified in a single @!x@ sequence. Both upper and lowercase attribute codes are supported. The "^A@" sequence is not supported, but there's already an @-code to perform the equivalent operation ("SHOW:20").

Rationale: when using PabloDraw to edit display (e.g. .msg) files, there was no easy way to explicitly clear (set to "normal") the current attributes at the end of a line of text. If that line of text contained a background color and the line caused the terminal to scroll, that background color would fill the next/new line resulting in some potential undesirable effects. There are 2 common solutions to this problem: either clear the screen before displaying the file (not always desirable) or clear the attributes at the end of the line (before the CR/LF). This can now be achieved by adding a @!N@ (the equivalent of Ctrl-AN for "normal" attributes) to the end of a line. There's no way to insert custom Ctrl-A sequences or other way to force PabloDraw to clear the attributes at the end of a line, that I found.

I chose the '!' character because it's (on my keyboard anyway) the Shift-1 key and Ctrl-A is ASCII 1. I considered a sequence such as @A:x@, but that's one more character and since this sequence usually won't display anything, a shorter sequence is likely preferred. For the shortest-possible sequence, use Ctrl-A sequences instead. However, for many consecutive Ctrl-A sequences, the @-code equivalent might actually end up being shorter(!). @-codes aren't support in as many places in Synchronet where Ctrl-A codes are supported (for security reasons), so it's not like this is going to replace the use of Ctrl-A codes everywhere.

Log Message:
Add GETDIM @-code to get the current ANSI terminal dimensions (rows and cols)

This code will do nothing if there's no user logged-in or their terminal is
not ANSI or their terminal dimensions (rows and cols) are set to specific values (not auto-detected). This code does the same thing as calling JS console.getdimensions(). Since it waits (up to 5 seconds) for a CPR response from the terminal, this does potentially slow down output, so caveat emptor.

This could be used by a sysop to address issue #529.

Hello Rob Swindell (On Windows,

Does this one here mean you can now do:

Kind of. You can't have spaces in @-codes, so you'd need to use \x20 in place of space. And you'd need a terminating (at).

It's just like the TIME:fmt @-code, but instead of local time, it's UTC. https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes

All relevant information is indeed on the wiki (thanks for that, too!), but your explanation here made it far easier for me to find it all on the wiki and put it together (I had to scroll from the top to the bottom to find all the pieces you mentioned in this message).
