Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 7d0ebc9d09 Copy the selected diff lines from the focused main view
The main view shows a diff renderer's picture of a diff, and that is not
what you want on your clipboard: a renderer may drop the +/- column, move
the line numbers into a gutter, group a hunk's deletions before its
additions, or leave lines out altogether. So copying takes the lines from
the diff itself, locating them by the identity of the selected rows.

Only the panel that produced the diff can produce it again, though: the
working tree's staged or unstaged side, a commit's, a stash entry's. The
new seam is there for that. It asks per file, so that copying three lines
of a commit's diff doesn't fetch the whole of it, and it will grow the
actions on a selection as staging and patch building arrive.

The clipboard gets the run of diff lines from the first selected line of
a file to the last, so that lines the renderer hid come along and the
result still reads as a diff. Headers count as selected lines too. A hunk
header names the first line of its hunk, so it is looked for the way a
line of the file is. A file header names no line at all, and a rendering
may draw it over any number of rows, so a selection touching one of them
takes the whole header.

As in the patch explorers, a selection that is all additions or all
deletions loses its +/- column, ready to be pasted into code. One that
reaches into a header keeps the columns, and what comes out is a patch
fragment rather than lines of code.

GOCUI - Go Console User Interface

CircleCI CodeCov Go Report Card GolangCI GoDoc GitHub tag (latest SemVer)

Minimalist Go package aimed at creating Console User Interfaces. A community fork based on the amazing work of jroimartin

Features

  • Minimalist API.
  • Views (the "windows" in the GUI) implement the interface io.ReadWriter.
  • Support for overlapping views.
  • The GUI can be modified at runtime (concurrent-safe).
  • Global and view-level keybindings.
  • Mouse support.
  • Colored text.
  • Customizable editing mode.
  • Easy to build reusable widgets, complex layouts...

About fork

This fork has many improvements over the original work from jroimartin.

  • Written ontop of TCell
  • Better wide character support
  • Support for 1 Line height views
  • Better support for running in docker container
  • Customize frame colors
  • Improved code comments and quality
  • Many small improvements
  • Change Visibility of views

For information about this org see: awesome-gocui/about.

func main() {
	g, err := gocui.NewGui(gocui.OutputNormal, true)
	if err != nil {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}
	defer g.Close()

	g.SetManagerFunc(layout)

	if err := g.SetKeybinding("", gocui.KeyCtrlC, gocui.ModNone, quit); err != nil {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}

	if err := g.MainLoop(); err != nil && !gocui.IsQuit(err) {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}
}

func layout(g *gocui.Gui) error {
	maxX, maxY := g.Size()
	if v, err := g.SetView("hello", maxX/2-7, maxY/2, maxX/2+7, maxY/2+2, 0); err != nil {
		if !gocui.IsUnknownView(err) {
			return err
		}

		if _, err := g.SetCurrentView("hello"); err != nil {
			return err
		}

		fmt.Fprintln(v, "Hello world!")
	}

	return nil
}

func quit(g *gocui.Gui, v *gocui.View) error {
	return gocui.ErrQuit
}
