    Great!

    I did some reading about ncurses input this morning. I think it's possible to update Term_xtra_gcu_event() to behave a little more like how the other ports handle input. You just need to explicitly map all of the ncurses key codes to Angband key codes.

    The catch is that the key codes are dependent on the terminal emulator (for example, some return the same key code for <Right_Arrow> and <Shift><Right_Arrow>), but my understanding is that most modern terminal emulators behave similarly. You could keep the existing, odd behavior, for older terminals and use the new mappings for newer ones.

    A side effect of changing the GCU key code mappings to behave like the other ports is that it may break some players' custom mappings. For example:

    Input: <Shift><Right_Arrow>
    Current GCU passes to Angband: \xb5
    After fix: {S}[Right]

      I'm pretty happy with how things are now; shift-ctrl is easy to adapt to vs just using ctrl for alter actions.

      I think you may have mentioned earlier that there was a problem with the target action in Angband, but I only just noticed it now: I cannot target any square using the trackpad click. Angband is not recognizing that as a keypress at all. :-/ I tried to map the click of the trackpad but it didn't acknowledge any input. I can only target using *. Is there any workaround for this? I have an external mouse I could attach but it's at my house and I'm quarantining in another house right now.

        No, there is no mouse support.

          I discovered how to target using the 'o' key. This is actually preferable to using the mouse. So looks like I'm all set! Thanks again for all your patience and help Moosferatu.

            I compiled the latest Angband source though Cygwin, ran with the Curses/ncurses front end, and had left mouse button / touchpad support: clicking the touchpad or the left mouse button moved my @ around the level--it freaked me out in fact, so I had to go and toggle the "mouse moves the player" game option off. : )
