hterm: invert drag & drop format preferences

Some initial feedback from users made me look into how other terminals
handle drag & drop.  Looks like the majority don't, and the few that do
(like gnome-terminal & konsole) only consume plain text and URIs.  They
offer options for the latter (such as downloading) via a context menu.

Lets invert the behavior in hterm to match other terminals rather than
try and match non-terminal programs.  By default we drop in plain text,
and holding shift will paste "rich" text (like html).  Handling of more
complicated options or formats will have to wait until we also have a
context menu.

Hello

This repository contains the libdot JavaScript library and some web applications that make use of it.

The official copy of this repository is hosted at https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps.

There is also a mirror on github at https://github.com/libapps/libapps-mirror. Keep in mind that this mirror may occasionally be behind the official repository.

All changes must go through the Gerrit code review server on https://chromium-review.googlesource.com. Github pull requests cannot be accepted. Please see the HACK.md document in this directory for the details.

Top level directories

  • libdot/ is a small set of JS libraries initially developed as part of hterm, now available as shared code. It provides a base layer for web applications. The code is intended to work in any modern browser, in either a plain web page or a “privileged” environment such as a Chrome platform application or Firefox extension. In practice, it's only been put to use in Chrome platform applications so far.

  • hterm/ is a JS library that provides a terminal emulator. It is reasonably fast, reasonably correct, and reasonably portable across browsers.

  • nassh/ is the Secure Shell Chrome App (currently a “v1.5” app, soon to become a “v2” or platform app) that combines hterm with a NaCl build of OpenSSH to provide a PuTTY-like app for Chrome users.

  • ssh_client/ is the NaCl port of OpenSSH. It is used by nassh to create the Secure Shell App.

  • wash/ is a library for cross-origin virtual filesystems, similar to the Plan 9 filesystem. This directory also contains a simple bash-like shell environment for exploring these filesystems. The code in this directory is a work-in-progress.
