Devlog-4!

So last time, we were done with vertical panes, being able to have multiple tabs and plenty of shortcut keys to move through the tabs, cursor and panes much quicker.

PANE STUFF

I first added borders to each individual pane because it became visually messy without them and the ability to be able to resize the panes because some panes are more important than the other, obvi. I did the resizing using a regular hand dragging motion and using some simple math using the old width and height and the current hand grabbing motion’s position to calculate the new position of the panes.

Switching between panes have become much easier with its own shortcuts: ctrl + shift + (any arrow keys) to move between them. Apparently this was called spatial navigation when I was researching abt it.

TEXT SELECTION!!!

I did add text selection and copy and paste, because I got sick and tired of having to test some long and painful commands by hand, instead of just copy-pasting it from the internet. Paste => Ctrl + Shift + V and to copy just select the text by hovering over the text, and click and drag the text and Copy => Ctrl + C

Added a much more accurate scrollback to retrieve your terminal commands from even before you opened aster.

SEARCH UR STUFF

you can now also search whatever previous commands you typed into using Ctrl + Shift + F. Yes, I did make it run ASTER aster Aster 100 times to test search😭

so it will do the regular selection point from the start to end of the search terms and show the amount of times it has appeared in the terminal

it is just a super simple for loop searching for the particular search terms and the thing is rust is fast as hell, even if there are 10000 instances, rust is super fast just like c++… i have a feeling i fell out of love with java and found someone new

Moving on by the next devlog, I want to add some uniquely dedicated panes, maybe a pane that would monitor the RAM and memory usage on the side while you are working on your main pane or even a AI agent pane that would update on the progress of your AI agents. I also want to add a lot more themes, and just make the core template aesthetically pleasing while retaining its bare personality. (and fix the bugs… i have too much of them.
