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:
|
|
|
|
[ ] media - turn off smooth scaling while "resizing" (2 resizes
|
|
withing N sec == resizing, set timeout (er N sec * 3) to go back to
|
|
smooth).
|
|
[ ] ctrl+home/end in emacs should change top/bottom bufffer position
|
|
[ ] blink and blink2 attributes need to be supported
|
|
[ ] dnd text (to/from terminal)
|
|
[ ] general input mode handling improvements (keypad, other key
|
|
input, etc.)
|
|
[ ] 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)
|
|
[ ] 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 so its reliable
|
|
[ ] fast text/regex searching similar to urxvt
|
|
|
|
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.
