Terminal is too small for vifm #730

How do I disable "Terminal is too small for vifm" when the screen gets smaller?

xaizek commented 2 years ago

It can't be disabled. Why do you want to disable it?

Prior to introduction of the message it used to quit. Size limit can't be disabled completely because at some point window dimensions become zero and this causes trouble, but minimal size can probably be made smaller.

Interesting. Just doesn't intuitively make sense to me because a terminal with text can get to that size with no problem. Using Xmonad, it is nice to be able to see multiple vifm windows. I believe it can be done in theory!

Before it becomes text in the terminal, it's a set of curses windows. wresize() of curses fails if you set window height/width to zero and weird things follow, that's why at small size you get a single window which acts predictably.

Yeah I have read that. It would be nice if is wasn't based on curses oh well 😴😕😑
