television/TODO.md

bugs

• index out of bounds when resizing the terminal to a very small size
• meta previews in cache are not terminal size aware

tasks

• preview navigation
• add a way to open the selected file in the default editor (or maybe that should be achieved using pipes?) --> use xargs for that
• maybe filter out image types etc. for now
• return selected entry on exit
• piping output to another command
• piping custom entries from stdin (e.g. ls | tv, what bout choosing previewers in that case? Some AUTO mode?)
• documentation

improvements

• async finder initialization
• async finder search
• use nucleo for env
• better keymaps
• mutualize placeholder previews in cache (really not a priority)
• better abstractions for channels / separation / isolation so that others can contribute new ones easily
• channel selection in the UI (separate menu or top panel or something)
• only render highlighted lines that are visible
• only ever read a portion of the file for the temp preview
• make layout an attribute of the channel?
• profile using dyn Traits instead of an enum for channels (might degrade performance by storing on the heap)
• I feel like the finder abstraction is a superfluous layer, maybe just use the channel directly?
• support for images is implemented but do we really want that in the core? it's quite heavy
• shrink entry names that are too long (from the middle)
• make the preview toggleable

feature ideas

• some sort of iterative fuzzy file explorer (preview contents of folders on the right, enter to go in etc.) maybe with mixed previews of files and folders
• environment variables
• aliases
• shell history
• text
• text in documents (pdfs, archives, ...) (rga, adapters) https://github.com/jrmuizel/pdf-extract
• fd
• recent directories
• git (commits, branches, status, diff, ...)
• makefile commands
• remote files (s3, ...)
• custom actions as part of a channel (mappable)
• from one set of entries to another? (fuzzy-refine) maybe piping tv with itself?
• add a way of copying the selected entry name/value to the clipboard
• have a keybind to send all current entries to stdout ... oorrrrr to another channel??
• action menu on the bottom: send to channel, copy to clipboard, send to stdout, ... maybe with tab to navigate between possible actions (defined per channel, not all channels can pipe to all channels)
