top: enable true line input editing with paste support
This patch changes the TERMIO_PROXY define back to the former TERMIOS_ONLY thus changing the top default too. Plus we can now use true line input editing while also retaining paste capability. That former native termios support provided only a limited destructive backspace. Now we exploit the Left/Right arrow keys, Home/End and Delete. Plus, the Insert key can toggle overtype mode! [ The stage is now set for a really huge improvement ] [ to any user input terminated with the <Enter> key. ] [ So please stay tuned for the next patch to arrive! ] (everything is perfectly justified plus right margins) (are completely filled, but of course it must be luck) Reference(s): commit fa21a6ca819f0f8442849552d0c499e79263ffdb Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

PACKAGING If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section applies to you. Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not included. Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via email without need for an account. For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags to the CFLAGS variable.
