tcell VS fzf

https://github.com/gdamore/tcell s, err := tcell.NewScreen() // Clear screen s.Clear()

I have used https://github.com/gdamore/tcell/ for github.com/raff/gio-games/arrows (look at game_term.go that is the terminal version, alternative to the gio/graphical version)

Hi im using linux (distro: Fedora 37) and I dont i have problems with installing go modules. When i run the commands in terminal (bash) "go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2" it gives me this error: "go: 'go install' requires a version when current directory is not in a module Try 'go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2@latest' to install the latest version" So when I run the command: "go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/vs@latest" I get this error: "package github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2 is not a main package". Please someone help.

Hi guys, I have fixed the problem. The problem was as stated: remove terminal behavior like when a key is pressed and held it does not work as needed. For example if I want to move character when user press key the player (character) will move one step then stops then move fast like text curser. The solution is not by using [Console Screen Buffer] the Tcell is enough, But the problem is caused by the way the input is read from the user as u/pekim says in comments it is a "Typical behaviour in most environments (not just Windows)". So to fix this you need to use windows API (w32) and read key using GetAsyncKeyState() that will fix the problem.

There's quite a variety of tui libraries in Go with all kinds of different tradeoffs. Likely you won't find one that does just exactly what you want (paren matching support seems particularly unlikely out of the box, dunno if you'll find something you can plug in). tview and the underlying, lower-level tcell may be useful. I see termbox mentioned a lot here though that looks more like a toolbox for building such things than a solution itself.

There's also tcell

How about some libraries that help with building TUIs?

I'll start with https://github.com/gdamore/tcell

(notcurses is the first in C, and currently best globally. The first in Rust might be tui-rs. The first in Go might be tcell.)

a Snake Game implication in Go using 2d array. https://github.com/twiny/snaky it runs on terminal window using github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2/termbox to render Snake movement.

In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

fzf : https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.

"git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

"git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.

"git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

> my history is so noisy I had to find another way

The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues

You can also use fzf with ripgrep to great effect:
