Key remapping:#

How to hande key remapping:

  • Inside nottui:
    • I coud allow users to specify some kind of key mapping function that looks for incoming keys and maps them to other keys.
  • Inside my own program.
    • I could make all components take an keyList record and let the caller override that.
      • This option is more versitile because it allows one list to use say, arrows, and the other to use something like hjkl

Handling unusual key combos:#

  • Aparrently general ansi terminals don't properly distinguish many key combos. But kitty and newer protocols do.
  • Maybe I could use this protocol within notty.

Multithreaded/async support in picos.#

Currently if you set the timeout of nottui to 0 it will wait forever for input before it updates the ui. we need a way to interrupt the ui waiting if the internal state has changed. Basically the internal nottui loop should be: Wait on input/a lwd.var change. If there is a change, re-run

  • This allows for way less idle usage
  • This allows us to support selection
    • Currently we cannot select becasue the terminal is constatnly re-rendering, I could fix that now probably, but the picos change would also fix it

Allow single threading support to also behave the same way#

I can make this work single threaded as well. Instead of using async await.

  1. use a very small timeout in unix.select/ polling
  2. on_invalidate set the invalidate flag true
  3. Re-render when it's been set to true

locking issues#

Currently we have an issue with lwd and locking. Basically we want to observe all invalidation that isn't processed already

  • Nottui will reprocess the node before rendering if it's already invalid
  • Lwd has oninvalidate but it runs event lwd.set that is being delayed because we are during recomputation. I want to capture all invalidation between the last call to stabalize in nottui and the next event whether that be a invalidation event or a keypress

Small screen mode:#

mode that only shows the graph or diff for small screens

Fix focus issues.#

I need to use the new variant of Lwd.peek so that we are fetching the latest value when doing the focus switching. mostly the focus comparison is key
