erroneousboat e3ca3b4621 Add custom eventstream for termui
In order to fix issue #47 I've added a custom eventstream
to termui that will deregister its own eventstream.

This will ensure me that the events will not be sent to
termui's (unbuffered) event channel and will be picked
up by the buffered termbox channel of slack-term.

Fixes #47

Getting started

  1. Download a compatible version for your system, and place where you can access it from the command line like, ~/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /usr/local/sbin. Or get it via Go:

    $ go get -u github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term
    
  2. Get a slack token, click here

  3. Create a slack-term.json file, place it in your home directory. The file should resemble the following structure (don't forget to remove the comments):

    {
        "slack_token": "yourslacktokenhere",
    
        // OPTIONAL: add the following to use light theme, default is dark
        "theme": "light",
    
        // OPTIONAL: set the width of the sidebar (between 1 and 11), default is 1
        "sidebar_width": 3,
    
        // OPTIONAL: define custom key mappings, defaults are:
        "key_map": {
            "command": {
                "i":          "mode-insert",
                "k":          "channel-up",
                "j":          "channel-down",
                "g":          "channel-top",
                "G":          "channel-bottom",
                "<previous>": "chat-up",
                "C-b":        "chat-up",
                "C-u":        "chat-up",
                "<next>":     "chat-down",
                "C-f":        "chat-down",
                "C-d":        "chat-down",
                "q":          "quit",
                "<f1>":       "help"
            },
            "insert": {
                "<left>":      "cursor-left",
                "<right>":     "cursor-right",
                "<enter>":     "send",
                "<escape>":    "mode-command",
                "<backspace>": "backspace",
                "C-8":         "backspace",
                "<delete>":    "delete",
                "<space>":     "space"
            }
        }
    }
    
  4. Run slack-term:

    $ slack-term
    
    // or specify the location of the config file
    $ slack-term -config [path-to-config-file]
