curses.textpad should support UTF-8 unicode characters #133031
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
curses.textpad does not support UTF-8/Unicode characters, they are silently ignored when editing.
It would be useful to add support for Unicode characters.
Minimal reproducible code: Type š into the editing textbox and observe nothing happens.
import curses.textpad
import atexit
atexit.register(curses.endwin)
w = curses.initscr()
curses.noecho()
curses.textpad.Textbox(w).edit()Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
