Provide a way to configure how many collection/list items should be displayed #377

Open mrlucmorin opened 3 months ago

mrlucmorin commented 3 months ago

Feature Description

At the moment, when displaying an IEnumerable, the number of items displayed depends on the screen size.

Having the possibility to configure this through a config file would facilitate inspecting more items, no matter how "high" the window is.

Thanks

I'd be interested in trying to implement this functionality myself. Do you accept pull requests from non-collaborator users?

Do you have an "architecture" document or some other documentation describing the configuration file sub-system? From what I can see, this would impact multiple source files, and I'd like to make sure not to miss anything. For example, there are hard-coded strings, such as the "help" string, that would be impacted.

Thanks

I just saw the smaller prints about contributing guidelines. I'll go through the ARCHITECTURE.md file and make sure I grok it before starting work.

I'll circle back here if I decide to undertake anything.

Hi, we'd be happy to accept a contribution for this. Thanks! Just need to make sure we have some sensible behavior when the IEnumerable does not terminate (or has millions of items). e.g.:

Also of interest to you might be the "Enter" vs "Ctrl+Enter" behavior -- the latter shows more elements than the former.
