Hello, I spent this week gluing together the work I did in the previous weeks. This boiled down to implementing a mostly-comprehensive input escape parser, and then a generic input:action binding layer with frontends for the simp/Lua interpreters. I expect I'll run into problems with the input escape parser further down the road, since terminal input escapes aren't super well standardized, and serial consoles could be attached to a "terminal" which hits any and all edge cases. Of course, the parser works for the input passed through by the UEFI/BIOS layers I implemented last week (and the partial u-boot support), so only serial consoles could potentially confuse things. Besides that, the rest of the code is solid so far, and I'm especially happy with the Lua API I built out for key bindings. Although I'm a bit biased, since I am a very big fan of Lua.
