3 years ago Hello there, thanks, mate.
That's good question! Actually I've been considering text justification for so long. And I kinda thought it can be easily implemented using amazing https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich library. But the difficult part is adjusting search feature with justified text, although it is still manageable, I currently don't think it's worth the effort. Because what rich currently do is forcing the justification by stretching the space irregularly like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Aenean venenatis a lectus in suscipit. Proin non felis pulvinar,
tristique sapien id, viverra ipsum. Donec nec dictum nisl,
id faucibus nulla.What I actually want is text justification like this (look at the space and hyphen), like kindle does:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing el-
it. Aenean venenatis a lectus in suscipit. Proin nonse
felis pulvinar, tristique sapien id, viverra ipsum. D-
onec nec dictum nisl, id faucibus nulla.With current rich library justification by stretching the spaces will create irregularity/inconsistency which will tire the reader's eyes for long reads. So, I don't think this will be implemented in short time, sorry. But, like you, I also would love this text justification.
First of all i wanna say that i m grateful for that amazing program. I love doing as much as possible in terminal. But is it possible to justify text? Is there any way to this? Thx in advance, keep up the good job!
