gum spin to support Fira Code spinner codepoints. #234

Open christianparpart opened 2 years ago

christianparpart commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There are various spinning box ways in the terminal. Fira Code tries to spice that up a bit by providing actual spinning glyphs.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like gum spin to make use of that and provide support for it via gum spin --spinner=fira with fira denoting that the Fira Code introduce spinning codepoints will be used (see link below).

Describe alternatives you've considered ASCII arts

Additional context See https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/releases/tag/6 for the release page, description & demo

Hey @christianparpart, thanks for opening up this issue.

I believe that this would be more appropriate for Bubbles since all the spinners we use are directly from there.

That being said, we typically avoid adding spinners that require specific fonts (at least for defaults) to be installed as using them wouldn't work on other's machines. See https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/pull/209

I think a good solution would perhaps be to allow custom glyphs for gum to customize the spinner.

gum spin --glyphs a,b,c,d,e,f,...

That sounds good, but be sure to support U+XX...X notation.

And while being at it, their are certain just perceived characters (aka. grapheme clusters) that take up multiple codepoints but end up forming a single character. Be sure to support that and it would allow really cool spinners . If you fear spacing (cursor positioning) issues, use DECSC and DECRC to save/restore the cursor.
