feature req: control operations in overview window #169

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice to have the ability to do more with the overview window:

1) Use something like Ctrl-uparrow/Ctrl-downarrow to select among commands

2) Enter to make a command the "current" command (very useful if a 
pipeline attempt off that command failed: you can re-enter the pipeline 
correctly but the current now seems to be the failed command).

3) a running command could have a button ('k' keyboard shortcut) to kill 
that running command.  Useful for stopping commands that will never 
complete.

4) Could also collect stats (amount of time to execute, etc.).  Perhaps 
display these in a right-click/alt-enter popup.

5) Easy selection of previous commands for scripts/pipelines.  Similar to 
#2, but more flexible.  For example, ran cmd 'A', did other stuff, re-ran 
cmd 'A'  (call this cmd "A2" in overview window).  Would like to run 
"diff" on output of those commands.  Type "diff", followed by a click on 
the overview window or keypress (Ctrl-O?) would bring up the overview of 
past cmds; standard selection (re: #1 & #2 above) would select a command, 
inserting a "reference" after the diff command.  Then perform this 
selection again to select a different previous cmd.

A lot of good ideas here.  There was a post on the discussion group recently too
about the overview:

It's getting really close to the top of my list of things to do; actually this 
would
make a great Summer of Code project.

Can I apply for GSOC based on this item? If so, I can work on it this summer.

This is now up on: http://code.google.com/p/hotwire-shell/wiki/SummerOfCode2008

I think you'd be able to apply through the Python SoC:

Hi Zeng Shixin,
You can certainly apply for GSoC --- can you tell us morea bout yourself, and 
how
you'd tackle the problem?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi, Greg

I'm now a student in Civil Engineering in the University of Alabama, USA. I had 
a
Bachelor degree in Computer Science from a university in China. I came across to
Linux/Open source in 2002 and got interested in it. I have experiences in 
various
open source projects by testing and writing patches:

http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2004-May/026487.html
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnumeric-list/2004-November/msg00047.html(merged 
in
gnumeric 1.7.0)

And here's a project I maintained in last three years.
http://mplayer-tru.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi

Currently, I've committed some code to this project, and I've already submitted 
the
application for GSOC. The attached is my application.

Shixin
