Hey there! Sorry for the delay.
You're not wrong. I think when I had first started I had needed EnableMouseCapture
, but I don't anymore. The only issue is that when highlighting, it also takes the borders of the chat bubble along with it. Example:
│ ``` (1) │ █
│ public class PrintNumbers { │ █
│ public static void main(String[] args) { │ █
│ System.out.println("Hello World!"); │ █
│ } │ █
│ } │ █
│ ```
So I could disable it for sure, but I'm not sure how to handle the border problem.
@dustinblackman what if you didn't use actual characters to create the chat bubble, but instead just set a background color to symbolize the chat bubble - then there would be no characters included in the highlight :thinking:
This is driving me crazy, too. It's this and one other issue (insertion of line breaks aka word wrapping) that keeps me from using Oatmeal 100% of the time compared to LM Studio.
I don't even care about copying the borders along with text, I'd live with it! Often I just want to copy a small snippet and wouldn't even touch the borders.
If I fork the Oatmeal project, is it as simple as removing EnableMouseCapture,
from crossterm::execute!(...)
to enable the mouse?
Thank you for the very cool project!
I noticed that when setting up
crossterm
mouse input is captured:https://github.com/dustinblackman/oatmeal/blob/3049bd5fdec98b1b0b1386df6f305ade3eb64236/src/application/ui.rs#L265-L270
and I think that one result of this is that attempting to highlight (and thus copy in many terminals) a portion of the output with a mouse pointer is not possible. The
/copy
slash command is helpful for codeblocks, but it's not currently possible to copy out non-codeblock text as far as I can tell.I'm not sure if this is as simple as simply not capturing the mouse input, but I would personally find it helpful if I was able to select text printed by the TUI and have my terminal's normal behavior of copying the selected/highlighted text still occur :+1:
