56 min.refactor screen drawing to be invokable row by row HEAD mainIrene Knapp
and use it to make scrolling efficient in terms of redraws! yay! Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ib6de76f6ca1603c4e7a0f11e9a4f2371a145b7c6
112 min.scrolling now uses the terminal scroll feature when possibleIrene Knapp
it doesn't redraw the newly blank lines in that case though, so it's broken, but that can come next Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I52c90249852331e5f9bbcdee4d645ee33e4c671a
4 hoursthere is now a concept of a scroll-topIrene Knapp
scrolling is handled in the most naive possible way, which is way too much redrawing and also doesn't have the desired centering behavior for longer movements Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I611b02d25553873a93f2c4c17e303356735581f7
5 hoursdeal with broken UTF8 even betterIrene Knapp
now it should self-synchronize properly if there's something really weird happening also, that code is all refactored into encodings.rs Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I8bd9682448fc309b7aa6c0513e9b94cb5a4ace11
6 hoursimplement the 0 and $ commandsIrene Knapp
Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I0a056ed4e021124f05e56c893d47c3b3dc5f3cd7
7 hourscount_lines() wasn't handling empty lines properlyIrene Knapp
remember, they can occur in the middle, not just at the end! heh Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I52d2c29e40597c0bfc9484fec5cef7f13612cb19
8 hourshandling of the neutral column is implemented fully nowIrene Knapp
this is what POSIX seems to call the "current column", but that's a confusing name... POSIX also seems to think in terms of the cursor's actual position not being a thing that persists, but that feels wrong so here it's a separate concept. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I0c3a171ebdf9ca74a1a8faaeeb85cd7d2a37b2ff
8 hourshjkl movement is now capped to the dimensions of the buffer... sort ofIrene Knapp
it only checks in the direction of movement, which means it's possible to get outside the text by going up or down off a longer line, onto a shorter one also, non-printing characters are passed through raw and treated as being exactly one cell wide, and both those things will need to change at some point (try editing a file with color codes in it) Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ie3e82b45a0dba3e52c06c775652d95335242c39b
9 hoursadded a handle_movement() abstractionIrene Knapp
right now, the main thing it takes care of is checking whether it's actually necessary to move the cursor, and doing it. the hope is to be very parsimonious of bandwidth, like to 1980s standards, and to also be deliberate about making sure the portions of the screen that are redrawn follow logically from the user's actions. this is meant to help in high-latency situations as well as with screen readers. also, it just feels right. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ib26ae484a34e0aaa0e8382f5ad4966226bada223
9 hoursthe hjkl commands are partly implementedIrene Knapp
it's now possible to move the cursor around the screen, but it doesn't interact with the buffer in any way. in particular it isn't forced to stay within the buffer, it just moves wherever. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: If56d044b97c761a2070ffc2cc3f541b35ef9965f
10 hoursadd a loop that reads a character of user inputIrene Knapp
(right now it exits after the first time, doing nothing) Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I89f8d3d298e6a42e373e536121e6b434e30ef66f
10 hoursimplement abstractions Terminal and BufferIrene Knapp
Terminal encapsulates most of the already-existing logic for drawing things Buffer corresponds directly to the user-facing concept of a buffer. it has facilities for creating a new empty one; for loading itself from a file; and for scanning its contents to compute the offsets to the start of each line. at the moment, the assumption is that buffers are always entirely in-memory, but this will not always be true, so significant attention has been paid to aysnc behavior. there's locks in a few places which may or may not turn out to be how it ultimately works, but they seem like a credible first attempt. the draw() routine is the heart of what exists so-far, doing all the really interesting stuff.
