My guess is that you need access to the tty for this, which means that the bell control character should be output through termbox
. If I add a small function to termbox::lib.rs
, I can call it on private message, but not in the notifier due to design reasons. I think it will take a bit more hacking to get it to work in the Notifier
code. @osa1 might know a less hacky way
pub fn bell(&mut self) {
if let Some(tty) = &mut self.tty {
tty.write(b"\x07").unwrap();
}
}
I'm a big fan of tiny - thanks for developing it!
Glad you liked it!
I have no idea how terminal bell works. It's possible that with the terminal modes we set bell doesn't work, I'm not sure.
In any case, I have a more general idea that will allow running any command, instead of just built-in notification functions: #261. @ddiss could you take a look at that issue and let me know if it would work for you?
Would be great if we could get rid of desktop-notifications
feature entirely, while allowing more flexibility in how to show notifications.
Just for clarification, the code snippet above does work and I can hear the bell with it. (alacritty doesn't seem to support the bell sound, so I had to use gnome-terminal)
Ah, OK. In that case I guess with #261 you could use something like echo -ne '\007'
as the notification command and it would work.

This would be fine for me. Given that tiny is terminal based and the code to ring the bell minimal, I think it'd be nice to have built-in support, but I don't feel strongly about it :smiley:
I'm a big fan of tiny - thanks for developing it! I'd prefer to avoid pulling in the (many)
notify-rust
dependencies, so I build tiny withdesktop-notifications
disabled. Withdesktop-notifications
disabled I'd still appreciate primitive a terminal bell notification. I tried to hack something up, but haven't had much luck with the following:
