here's a short list of things i think we can do in the short to medium term to
|
||||||
|
make it a first-class terminal:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[X] evas textgrid needs creating and to be used
|
||||||
|
[ ] underline and strikethrough need supporting at termio level
|
||||||
|
[ ] blink and blink2 attributes need to be supported
|
||||||
|
[ ] improve terminal emulation handling (i know it doesn't handle gfx
|
||||||
|
chars and it definitely has an incomplete escape handling core -
|
||||||
|
many are commented out and unhandled)
|
||||||
|
[ ] copy & paste support for clipboard not just primary (like xterm)
|
||||||
|
[ ] dnd text (to/from terminal)
|
||||||
|
[ ] ecore-imf support
|
||||||
|
[ ] handle multibyte displays better (does handle utf8 only atm and
|
||||||
|
then maybe not according to convention)
|
||||||
|
[ ] general input mode handling improvements (keypad, other key
|
||||||
|
input, mousereporting etc.)
|
||||||
|
[ ] save of config after options changes (option checkbox for
|
||||||
|
temporary local only changes)
|
||||||
|
[ ] selection of themes
|
||||||
|
[ ] selection of background "wallpapers" (and support them at all -
|
||||||
|
doesn't right now - should support regular images, animated gifs,
|
||||||
|
and edje files)
|
||||||
|
[ ] transparency support (theme needs to be told to go into
|
||||||
|
tranpsarency mode and then window alpha enabled)
|
||||||
|
[ ] visual bell reporting (signals to theme)
|
||||||
|
[ ] scrollbar (elm scroller that mirrors the term smart size/position
|
||||||
|
- gives us fingerscroll - layer on top of term smart, stick
|
||||||
|
invisible rect inside to track for scrolling etc.)
|
||||||
|
[ ] selection mode mirrors entry style for touch displays (handle
|
||||||
|
on_hold flags, etc.)
|
||||||
|
[ ] selection off edge scrolls in that direction (as per selection
|
||||||
|
mode too if it gets NEAR an edge)
|
||||||
|
[ ] selection should become single edje object so it can be styled nicely
|
||||||
|
[ ] selection should have handles on the start/end so u can drag and
|
||||||
|
change its size once there
|
||||||
|
[ ] improve selection text extraction logic
|
||||||
|
[ ] font selector should include font previews in the list -
|
||||||
|
preferably ONLY be a list of previews
|
||||||
|
[ ] options widgets should be deleted once they are hidden. they stay
|
||||||
|
in memory at the moment
|
||||||
|
[ ] clicking with ANY mouse button while options is up outside of
|
||||||
|
options should dismiss it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
things in future to make it totally kick-butt:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[ ] "tabs" (multiple terminals inside a window) with a nice selector
|
||||||
|
that looks like e17's wallpaper2 selector a bit :)
|
||||||
|
[ ] track child process stats like cwd etc. and when launching a new
|
||||||
|
"tab" or shell use the last child process cwd to put the shell
|
||||||
|
inot
|
||||||
|
[ ] track mem and iowait and cpu stats for child procs and their
|
||||||
|
children and display them as little overlays in the terminal so u
|
||||||
|
know if your "grep -r /" is cpu or io bound and what is eating up
|
||||||
|
all your cpu cycles or causing a tonne of hdd interrupts etc. -
|
||||||
|
send results of these stats to theme with messages much like
|
||||||
|
cpufreq, battery etc. do in e17 so theme can display as bars,
|
||||||
|
dials or anything it likes (text, led's etc. too).
|
||||||
|
[ ] tiling layout within 1 window to lay out multiple terms in a
|
||||||
|
flexible split/merge column/row grid setup
|
||||||
|
[ ] remember tile layouts and be able to restore them and at least as
|
||||||
|
much of child processes as the term can manage reasonably reliably
|
||||||
|
[ ] split it out into a library - maybe just as part of elementary and
|
||||||
|
make a terminal widget where you can specify your own read/write
|
||||||
|
funcs for the term fd etc. so u can make a custom bit of code that
|
||||||
|
uses the terminal widget as if it were stdin/out but just as
|
||||||
|
loopback within the app (ie don't exec process - just create pty
|
||||||
|
and offer read/write to/from it)
|
||||||
|
[ ] start supporting some of the crazy escape codes that let you
|
||||||
|
inline images into terminals or just create our own extensions and
|
||||||
|
then start making replacement "std command" wrappers/replacements
|
||||||
|
that are prepended to $PATH that can do the right thing when u do
|
||||||
|
"ls" - i see a list of files and if some are images or documents -
|
||||||
|
u see thumbnails too. if u cat a jpeg.. u see it. if u cat a url
|
||||||
|
or html file.. up comes an inline web browser, provide nicer
|
||||||
|
visual "progessbars" and modified tools like wget that use these
|
||||||
|
escapes etc.
