keybindings in tutorial/advanced dialogs #1101

Open hasufell opened 2 weeks ago

hasufell commented 2 weeks ago 
          In the comments of the issue it seems like it is solved. Currently we don't have keybindings for Tutorial not context menu. Also, part of the `KeyBinding` infrastructure in `ghcup` seems to replicate/duplicate that in [`brick`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/brick-2.4/docs/Brick-Keybindings.html). Probably we should move it to brick.

@dfordivam , do you have something in mind? are you already implementing something?

In order to support the same keybindings as used in the main navigation in the advanced install/compile popups, we would need to have a way for the user to edit the text input fields, while also allowing their custom keybindings to work for navigation actions like up, down, enter, quit (go back).

The idea I have in mind is to open an edit text field overlay, which has to be opened in order to begin editing. When the user has this opened then all the alpha-numeric + symbols keys would edit the text, and the only way to exit this would be via "Esc" or "Ctrl+c" key.

I already have an implementation which currently opens an overlay over the popup to allow selection from a list, like this
