Truncate long titles #91

Closed zoidby closed 3 years ago

zoidby commented 3 years ago

Videos sometimes come with very long titles so that the tui-table exceeds the width of the terminal. This in turn leads to line breaks which make the interface messy. Please see this screenshot for example: screenshot--2021-05-30--17-35-49

The ideal solution would be to have a line break only in the single cell, that exceeds the limit.

But i guess that could be to much to implement. Truncating the title (and maybe putting … to indicate it) so that the whole row will never be longer than the term width would be sufficient as well.

Yes, I agree. I thought about multiline tables a while back, but I couldn't find an easy way to do it.

Instead, I have now implemented the truncating of long lines. It still needs some work. See #92
