This simply prints ASCII codes to display any text marked as bold in the
terminal. Supported by every sane terminal since 1986. For those insane,
there's a check. The check has been copied from the ansicolors.lua
script floating around and it checks if the directory path uses "\"
instead of "/", and in case it does, it checks whether ANSICON env
variable has been set (which is used to indicate the Windows terminal
supports ACII escape sequences).
Unify both append_property* functions and greatly refactor them.
Instead of thousands of arguments we now use a table.
While this is in theory cleaner it does not exactly look like it.
However, it's way more flexible and extendable this way.
Also, since the new append_property() might look a bit confusing
I felt the need to add a comment.
Previously, the script would throw garbage (ASS tags) at the terminal
when the bound key was pressed. This changes the behaviour to _not_
print any ASS tags (and replace those which can be interpreted by the
terminal) if there's no video.
I cleaned the patch up since you mentioned you were busy. As I said
before, there is absolutely no problem with calling mpv to display
strings to the OSD without any video. They'll just go straight to the
terminal just as they would with an active VO.
