Vi-like menus #28

Closed Muxutruk2 closed 5 months ago

Muxutruk2 commented 6 months ago

What feature would you like to see in cli-chess?

I would like an option to be able to navigate the menus with vim-like movements, for example: main menu would be: :offline :online (these last 2 maybe available whenever) :settings :about Then, after choosing one you could go back with :q The match configuration panel is good, no need to change it And when in a match you could :e4 or.. :move e4 :flip :takeback :draw :resign

What do you think?

Thanks for creating an enhancement request! When I read the title, I thought this would be referring to hjkl movements instead of arrows (which we could implement but might get a little weird on the settings menu). But other than this, I do feel that this adds quite a lot of complexity for little payoff and slower navigation.

Well, making it optional and default to off, i dont see any problems

Closing as not planned for now due to added complexity.
