    Start UIFC in insert mode.

    Per comment on reddit by dialsoft, the lack of an insert key on
    laptops can make manipulating the phonebook more difficult. Since
    all the other UIFC functions have an insert alternate, they don't
    need any changes now that there's a manual, but for editing a
    string, the insert key is the only way to toggle overstrike.

    Since the insert mode toggle persists, simply starting in overstrike
    mode should be fine.

    Maybe some weird control key of function key can be used (though
    I guess laptops don't have function keys either anymore).

    Should make DigitalMan happy by making help output be in the console
    on Windows with syncterm.com. Hopefully syncterm.exe doesn't get
    the help output hosed by this.

    Also, if the output mode is ANSI, don't require a key press to exit.

    Fix multiple bugs in syncterm.c

    - get_xdg_path(): strcat("syncterm") ignored bufsz, return NULL if
    the path would overflow the buffer.
    - webget calloc: add NULL check, wrap download block in if(reqs!=NULL)
    to avoid NULL dereference on allocation failure.
    - Progress bar: change %.*s to %*s so spaces are actually printed,
    and scale percentage from 0-100 to 0-10 to match the bar width.

    Fix webget progress bar wrapping in showbuf window

    The showbuf content area is 70 chars wide (74 - 2 borders - 2 padding),
    but the progress line was 73 chars, causing the bar to wrap. Reduce size
    field widths from %9s to %7s — no information is lost since byte_estimate_to_str() with precision=3 produces at most 7 characters.

    Fix zombie process on window close while connected (ticket 229)

    CIO_KEY_QUIT is pushed once when the window closes. After the main
    loop consumes it, check_exit() sets quitting but UIFC_XF_QUIT was
    never set, so any subsequent uifc.list() call blocks forever waiting
    for input from the dead window.

    Fix: check_exit() now returns true immediately if quitting is already
    set, and sets UIFC_XF_QUIT alongside quitting so all uifc calls bail
    out instead of blocking.

    Use XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR on *nix

    Default to $HOME/Downloads

    The default download directory on all *nix builds (except macOS)
    was previously $HOME. This meant that ZModem auto-downloads can
    place files directly in your home directory, potentially without
    you noticing if it's fast enough.

    While it would request confirmation if it's overwriting, if it's
    a file that doesn't exist, it would be dropped right there. This
    is potentially VERY BAD, it could create a .bash_profile if you're
    using .profile for example, a .xsessionrc, etc. files that are
    automatically executed and assumed trusted, but often don't exist
    already on most systems.

    While this technically isn't *quite* as bad as memory errors where
    the remote will potentially have full access to your system, it's
    much more trivial to turn into a real exploit.

    Reported by JQuast on IRC.
    Thanks again for reaching out and reporting these security issues
    with SyncTERM.

    I'd like to take this time to clarify that you SHOULD NOT use
    SyncTERM to access a POSIX shell, there's a LOT of sequences that
    "standard" terminal emulators have specifically stopped supporting
    because they pose clear security risks. SyncTERM gleefully supports
    these sequences. If you us this for a shell and ssh to untrusted
    systems, copy/paste commands in or out of the terminal, or even
    run things like curl and support redirects, there are strange gotchas
    waiting for you.
