Both binaries support MC-style +N positional: 'tlcedit +42 file.txt' opens at line 42. tlcview gains line support for the first time. main.rs updated for new open_file(file, start_line) signature.
FindOutcome::View/Edit now carry Option<u64> line number from FindHit. FileManager gains open_editor_at_line() and open_viewer_at_line() that jump to the target line after opening.
Editor gains goto_line(), viewer gains jump_to_line() + open_file(start_line). Both editor and viewer now render the F-key buttonbar at the bottom (1Help 2Save... / 1Help 2Wrap...).
Status bar now shows wall clock (HH:MM UTC) and spinner character
right-aligned. Native ratatui scrollbars added to Help, Jobs, and Find
dialogs when content overflows visible area.
Current-line highlight (bg lightened by 12 per channel on cursor line),
bracket-match tracking (forward/backward search for ()[]{}<> pairs),
modified-line gutter mark (▌ in warning color when buffer is dirty).
bracket_flash field + find_matching_forward/backward methods on Editor.
Rounded panel borders (BorderType::Rounded), native ratatui scrollbars
on file lists, alternating row colors (even rows lightened), file-size
inline bar in panel footer (█ proportional to largest file), 3D button
effect (▔ top + ▁ bottom rows when focused), and panel switch border
flash (cyan info color for 4 frames on Tab).
Blocking events.next() caused the app to hang indefinitely when the
terminal was resized without any key press — no data arrived on stdin
to wake the blocking read.
Fix: use rustix::event::poll() with 200ms timeout on stdin fd. On
timeout, check terminal size and redraw if changed. On data available,
read events as before.
Added rustix 'stdio' feature for rustix::stdio::stdin() BorrowedFd.
- Remove two dead pub fn render free functions (render.rs + mod.rs)
- Remove debug_raw_event/should_log_raw_event (always-on /tmp logging)
- Move use std::sync::Arc to top of dispatch.rs
- Fix unused imports from dead code removal
The poll-based event loop (rustix::event::poll with 200ms timeout) broke
terminal size detection on Redox. When tui.size() returned (0,0) via
unwrap_or_default() after a failed dup(1,"winsize"), the size-change
check would clear the screen and render nothing.
Ratatui's draw() already calls autoresize() on every frame, which queries
backend.size() and resizes buffers automatically. The manual size check
and poll-based wake-up were redundant and harmful.
Reverted to the original blocking-read approach that worked on Redox:
stdin.lock().events_and_raw().next() → process key → render()
Resize is detected on the next keypress via ratatui's built-in autoresize.
MC uses SIGWINCH→self-pipe→select(stdin+pipe) for resize detection.
In safe Rust (#![deny(unsafe_code)]), the equivalent is polling stdin
with a 200ms timeout via rustix::event::poll. This wakes the main loop
every 200ms even without key input, allowing terminal size check and
full redraw on resize. Same result as MC's signal-driven approach
without requiring unsafe signal handlers.
Previously the event loop blocked indefinitely on events.next() —
terminal resize was only detected on the next keypress.
- Split filemanager/mod.rs into dispatch.rs, render.rs, dialog_ops.rs,
format_utils.rs (3567→~1200 lines in mod.rs)
- Comment out mc in redbear-mini.toml and redbear-full.toml per user request
- Enable tlc in redbear-full.toml (was temporarily disabled)
- 1022 tests pass, zero behavior changes
Both open_file() functions were stubs that opened the file but never
launched the terminal interface. tlcedit/tlcview would silently exit
without displaying anything.
- editor::open_file(): create Tui, render editor, run key event loop,
handle Save/Close/SaveThenClose/DiscardThenClose results
- viewer::open_file(): create Tui, render viewer, run key event loop,
exit when handle_key returns true
TLC (Twilight Commander) was missing from both ISO configs. Added
tlc = {} to [packages] in redbear-mini.toml and redbear-full.toml.
Created missing symlink: recipes/tui/tlc -> ../../local/recipes/tui/tlc.
Alt-Shift-Right grows left panel 5%, Alt-Shift-Left shrinks 5%.
Alt-= resets to 50/50. Range clamped to 10-90%.
panel_areas() uses split_ratio when equal_split is false.
3 new tests. 976 tests total, 0 failures.
Panel now enters archives (.tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, .zip,
.cpio) when pressing Enter, browsing their contents like directories.
Pressing '..' at the archive root exits back to the local filesystem.
Three new Panel fields: vfs (Box<dyn Vfs> backend), vfs_path (VfsPath
inside archive), vfs_archive (local PathBuf of archive file).
New methods: try_enter_archive(), replace_directory_vfs(),
display_path(), is_in_vfs(), is_archive_extension() helper.
Title bar shows 'archive.tar:/inner/path' when browsing inside an
archive via synthesized display path.
5 new tests for archive extension detection (case-insensitive).
964 tests total, 0 failures.
New filehighlight.rs module categorizes files by extension into 9 types
(Normal, Executable, Archive, Audio, Video, Image, Source, Documentation,
Database). Each type maps to a theme palette color via file_type_color().
entry_style() in mod.rs now applies file type colors for non-directory,
non-symlink files. Executable detection uses permission bits (owner_exec
|| group_exec || other_exec).
13 new unit tests covering all categories, case insensitivity, hidden
files, and edge cases. 959 tests total, 0 failures.
Core fixes to get redbear-mini building and booting via UEFI:
relibc: Use 'VaListImpl as va_list' in syslog so cbindgen outputs va_list
instead of unknown VaListImpl type (matches stdio pattern). Fixes
openssl3 and all C consumers of syslog.h.
base fork (f97da5b0): ps2d missing info! import, ps2d dead variable,
fbcond drm-0.15 API fix, acpid 31 errors (ivrs/mcfg modules, duplicate
methods, packed fields, dmar copy-paste bug), bootstrap abort_immediate
removal (feature removed from nightly)
redox-driver-sys: Add PciQuirkFlags re-export for crate-root imports
bash: Regenerate P1-mksyntax-host-headers.patch with proper unified diff
m4: Fix getlocalename_l unsafe wrapper
config: Comment out mc (requires glib-2.0 chain, not needed for mini)
UEFI boot verified in QEMU — boots to RedBear login prompt.
