feature request: word wrapping in text preview #893

Closed eddiehazel closed 1 week ago

eddiehazel commented 1 week ago

i am experimenting with using broot to manage my notes. the ui is so buttery and configurable, i really want this to be the entrypoint to a filesystem of text files i can use to organise my thoughts! 🧈

i am pretty much a rust n00b but i do love it. i have limited ability and time at the moment but with a few pointers i perhaps could contribute if it is in fact as easy to implement as i'd hope it would

ideally i would love a full editor in there but that seems like a much more significant project! 😂

Please don't even try your hands with word wrapping. Doing it efficiently is far from trivial. If I decide to add this feature, I'll do it myself, using the many utilities I already have for that (see bacon's word wrapping for example).

More generally, broot isn't the ideal codebase for a newbie, partially because I was myself a noob in Rust when starting this project and it's still a little too messy due to that :)

(discussions regarding projects or features in need of contributions according to taste and abilities are welcome on my chat)
