Subject: dialog doesn't support ^U [with patch]

Package: dialog
Version: 0.9a-8

Dialog doesn't handle '^U' to erase the input line.

Here's support for it.  I'd be glad if this could be included in the
source tree and mailed to the upstream maintainer.

In inputbox.c at line ~160, please add the following case statement:

	    case KEY_BACKSPACE:
	    case 127:
[..]
	    case 21:  /* ^U   support by Martin Schulze <joey@artis.uni-oldenburg.de> */
	        input_x = 0;
		scroll = 0;
		wmove (dialog, box_y, box_x);
		for (i = 0; i < box_width - 1; i++)
		  waddch (dialog, ' ');
	        instr[0] = '\0';
		wmove (dialog, box_y, input_x + box_x);
		wrefresh_lock (dialog);
		continue;
	    default:
[..]

Regards,

	Joey
