[Feature Request] Terminal node type #2142

Open Johnmcenroyy opened 2 years ago

Johnmcenroyy commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No problem, thank you very much for excellent software, just an idea.

Describe the solution you'd like It seems good idea to be able view dynamic text content, such as rss news for example or calendar (terminal text-mode software). Now we have terminal in Cherrytree, so it just a matter of placing terminal in place of usual text window and to run there newsboat (rss client for terminal) or calcurse (calendar etc. for terminal) or anything else. Please add "Terminal node type".

Prototype example:

  1. Create node which will autorun rss client (newsboat) in terminal cherry_newsboat_menu

  2. Then we can view rss news with terminal client newsboat similar to Emacs in Cherrytree: cherry_newsboat

  3. Similar with calendar using terminal software calcurse: cherry_calcurse

Thanks.

Hi @giuspen . Thanks for excellent software. I understand that there is a lot of work, but is it possible in general to add terminal node type ?

I think that it will be great addition to Cherrytree. Possibilities are endless :) - news (newsboat), email (aerc), calendar (calcurse), git (lazygit) etc.
