Hi, I'm not working on it actively, so I had to take a quick look at the code 😄 I don't think it's possible, but it could be added by extending display
to receive the start coordinates. If you raise a PR with a clean solution and possibly examples, I'll merge it.
Ok, I'll play around with that approach. You'll see a PR if I end up with something worth sharing. Thanks.
I'll want to use it in anger for a bit longer before suggesting that anybody adopt my changes, but it was actually pretty easy to add the offsets.
Where I ran into trouble was getting the cursor position so that I could use this new ability to place the buffer below my prompt. I've posted about it here: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10491#69978
Good luck @MatrixManAtYrService 😄
You might have noticed that illwill already initialises raw mode... but maybe only in fullscreen? Can't remember.
Also, please note that whatever change you introduce, illwill must behave the same way on macOS, Windows, and Linux. So you'll need to test things on all 3 platforms if you want to get your PR merged, plus also provide test evidence as I don't have much time to spend on this.
Just wanted to set clear expectations, that's all 😄 PRs of course are still welcome 😄
I added getCursorPos to std/terminal, and learned some things along the way :slightly_smiling_face: That unblocks me for this work, for which I have proved the concept to myself, but still need to bang on it a bit before it's in a shape to contribute. I'll have a PR for this... eventually.
Hi, thanks for this project. I'm excited to use it.
Please take a look at this asciicast: https://asciinema.org/a/352660
Notice how the action happens below the prompt. I'd like to do something similar with illwill in non-fullscreen mode. But I see that
newTerminalBuffer
always creates buffers in the top left corner of my terminal--I only have control over their width and height.Can it be done with illwill? What would the strategy be?
