Shortcuts to change size of column(s) #362

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I would propose to add shortcut key to change column width dynamically like in 
Far Filemanager.

Also I would propose to zoom in/out using CTRL+/CTRL- or CTRL+mouse wheel

Some links about Far Filemanager:
- http://www.farmanager.com/
- https://code.google.com/p/farmanager/
- https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/wiki/FarPlugins

You might discover also other great features from Far Filemanager - it is also 
open-source software. People trying to run it over Wine but I would propose to 
implement those features in Sunflower - so people do not need that.

Can you please make these into separate feature requests?

That's okay, I can change it. Can you explain how is this solved in other 
programs? You only affect one column or you get to choose?

As I remember, in Far Filemanager it was CTRL+key and this "key" was left or 
right arrow. That key is in use already in Sunflower - so there should be 
chosen something else, e.g. CTRL+ALT+arrow or something. But I used Windows and 
Far Filemanager approximately in year 1999 lastly - so it was quite long time 
ago. I am not familiar with nowadays developments in Far Filemanager since it 
is Windows app and I did not have time to test it over Wine. I use 64-bit 
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS currently.

But as Sunflower is feature-rich and lightweight app - definitely also 32-bit 
version is very important to use it on older computers.

So did it change only one column size?

Sunflower is built in Python, so concept of platform doesn't really affect us 
as long as there's Python interpreter for it. I know that a lot of people don't 
think Python is fast enough, but as you can see I try hard to make Sunflower as 
fast as possible.

Yes - that panel, which was active. Changed was the filename column in Far 
Filemanager. Cetainly there might be necessary to change also other columns. 
Filename column is probably most needed but it depends on needs.
There can be also do so, that in configuration can be set letter for every 
column and then there could be e.g. SHIFT+letter+arrow to change exact column 
according which letter were pressed.
We can extend that functionality to correspond also future needs and we are not 
forced follow exactly same as it was in Far Filemanager.

But this can be also configurable - would user change synchronously both panels 
like currently is or should it be separately depending on which panel is active.

Column sizes are linked in Sunflower. I'll try to think of a solution to 
selecting which column is being resized.
