@ -26,30 +26,45 @@ But we also need to handle the following problematic moments:
|

* Bidirectional handling. If user wants to echo a phrase
|
||||
in Hebrew, he types: echo "srettel werbeH"
|

|

Editors
|

Editors (vi, ed)
|
||||
|
||||
This case is a bit similar to "shell input", but unlike shell,
|
||||
editors may encounder many more unexpected unicode sequences
|
||||
(try to load a random binry file...), and they need to preserve

(try to load a random binary file...), and they need to preserve

them, unlike shell which can afford to drop bogus input.
|

|

|
||||
more, less
|
||||
|
||||
.
|
||||
Need to correctly display any input file. Ideally, with
|
||||
ASCII/unicode/filtered_unicode option or keyboard switch.
|
||||
Note: need to handle tabs and backspaces specially
|
||||
(bksp is for manpage compat).
|
||||
|
||||
cut, fold, watch
|
||||
|
||||
May need ability to cut unicode string to specified number of wchars
|
||||
and/or to specified screen width. Need to handle tabs specially.
|
||||
|
||||
sed, awk, grep
|
||||
|
||||
Handle unicode-aware regexp match
|
||||
|
||||
ls (multi-column display)
|
||||
|
||||
.
|
||||
ls will fail to line up columnar output if it will not account
|
||||
for character widths (and maybe filter out some of them, see
|
||||
above). OTOH, non-columnar views (ls -1, ls -l, ls | car)
|
||||
should NOT filter out bad unicode (but need to filter out
|
||||
control chars (coreutils does that). Note that unlike more/less,
|
||||
tabs and backspaces need not special handling.
|
||||
|
||||
top, ps
|
||||
|
||||
.
|
||||
Need to perform filtering similar to ls.
|
||||
|
||||
Filename display (in error messages and elsewhere)
|
||||
|
||||
.

Need to perform filtering similar to ls.
