Subject: [9fans] Adding history to Rio's windows
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 16:07:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20000928160709.00ac9100@mail.real.com> (raw)

History of 'history': The rc script that Russ Cox posted a while back
(named " and attributed to Killian) performs the function for what I am
proposing here. This is a raw idea for supporting it in Rio.

The UI part is similar to how Sam keeps previously searched for patterns
in the menu; It is not "history" in the shell sense (the last n commands),
but a list that keeps the last n snarf buffers that have been sent to the
process using the middle button menu's 'send' command. Like so:

+----------+
| cut      |
| paste    |
| snarf    |
| plumb    |
| send     |
| scroll   |
|~~~~~~~~  |
| grep -.. |
+----------+

If a history item is selected, it is assumed that the user wants 'send' it
(or should it be 'paste'?).
Is this sane?
