Hi,

I would like to know if 'ls' can use ncurses instead of its own code for
colors.

I plan to do this myself, but it seems ncurses depends on the coreutils.
Any hints?

Could you expand on the proposal.
Currently ls/dircolors hardcode the ^[[${color}m control code scheme,
with the ${color}s being defined in countless system and user configs.
Are there new/old terminal types you'd like to support that don't
support the existing scheme?

cheers,
Pádraig.


I made my own terminal with my home made Z80. I could modify my own code, but it may be an interesting challenge to modify ls itself.
