adding key-bindings to page-up/page-down/fast scrolling #enhancement #31

i use this beautiful package to list files in massive log folders across multiple endpoints, and cant jump fast enough interactively through the lists.

will be nice to have a fast scrolling option if page-up/page-down or some common shortcuts like shift-down/up

IngoMeyer441 commented 3 years ago

Sounds like a good idea! I like vim motions everywhere, so perhaps, page up/down and Ctrl-f / Ctrl-b would be good choices for this feature.

moranshuk commented 3 years ago

there's another feature that will be nice to have -> registering functions for specific events, such as:

cursor_move_event -> run a function when ever the highlight cursors moves on_enter_event -> run a function when the user has made he's choice

in multi selection: on_mark_event -> run the function for item marked regardless of the final select/enter press. (for example: user selects a number of items, and for each selected item a bg thread will run to download the item to prepare it.)

Hi Ingo,

This would be very useful indeed to support page-up/down. Scrolling through a LONG menu is very tedious. Something I discovered while coding the configuration browser for Mailman3.

Page up and down key navigation is now implemented in commit 8a8b4be2ecf978e699df8998315533d5e77b75c3. Could you please test if this suits your needs?

The latest development version can be installed with:

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu@develop

It works wonderfully, and it most certainly suits my needs! Tested a long, long menu (list of configuration values), with and without / filtering.

Thank you. Happy 2023, by the way, Ingo. I'd buy you a beer anytime, thank you for this library!

Happy new year! v1.6.0 is released on GitHub and PyPI and contains the fast scrolling feature. Cheers! :beers:
