UI - Tabs and Adjustable Scroll Sensitivity

[gbu117]

Having a button to open multiple tabs as is possible with the plus icon in the top right in LibTerm would be great, and the ability to scroll faster or adjust the scroll speed/sensitivity in general to be able get to the beginning of a terminal window more quickly would be really useful.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll see what I can do. I am trying to keep the non-terminal portions of the user interface to an absolute minimum, so there are no toolbars at the top (instead, there is the newWindow command).

For scroll speed, I would like to have it too. For now, the scroll speed depends on the number of fingers you place on the screen when you scroll. 3-fingers-scrolling can be quite fast (4 fingers gesture trigger an iOS response).

Thank you!

Status of adjustable scroll sensitivity

Scroll sensitivity is now (somewhat...) customizable!

To change it, you can do the following:

• Download gestures.js from this GitHub repo's root directory.
  • I saved it in ~/Documents/Web/ (I created the Web directory for things like this :smile: )
  • Notice that gestures.js has constants at the top like INITIAL_INERTIAL_SCROLL_VEL_MULTIPLIER. Try changing these!
• At the very end of ~/Documents/Web/gestures.js, add initializeTerminalGestures();
  • When we run gestures.js with jsc --in-window, this will replace the current terminal gestures with our custom terminal gestures.

Temporarily applying changes to gestures.js

• cd to ~/Documents/Web and run jsc --in-window ./gestures.js to apply any changes to gesture-related constants!
  • The scroll speed and any other gesture settings should be changed for the session!

Making the changes permanent

Making the changes permanent

* If you haven't already, run `touch ~/Documents/.profile`. * Open `~/Documents/.profile` with `vim` (or your favorite editor) * Add `sleep 0.25`, then, on the next line, `jsc --in-window ~/Documents/Web/gestures.js` to the beginning of it. * The `sleep 0.25` is necessary because `.profile` can run **before** the terminal UI has finished loading!

I, too, would like a newTab command

I, too, would really like multi-tab support! I primarily use a-Shell on an iPhone, so, for me, newWindow does nothing.

A newTab command would be very useful!
