It's unlikely that this will make 6.5. urwid does not support scrollbars natively (we wrote our own), though it's a possible feature for 6.6. defer to 6.6 Some thoughts on improvement -File opens in its end -Some hotkey which would jump to next/previous word like an ERROR or WARNING would be appropriate. *** Bug 1083420 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Starting at the end would be relatively easy, but jumping to words like "ERROR or WARNING" is likely to be problematic, and, in my view, makes too many assumptions about what the user may be looking for beyond any technical details of the implementation. BZ is still valid for 3.5 to sum it up: - display relevant log files from the end (newest events) - enable mouse support for scrolling through the log (at least make scrolling arrows clickable) - enable searching the log through TUI Display from the end should be doable. Searching may be possible, but I'm hesitant to implement anything but the very simplest less|more-like search semantics, since users can always drop to a shell and use more appropriate tools if they need more complex options. The scrolling arrows are glyphs painted on the screen. urwid doesn't actually have support for scrollbars, so this is something we've added. Of the requests, this is least likely, if only because working with the bare curses layer to figure out whether this column/row actually contains the scrollbar knob or arrows would almost certainly require patching urwid itself. Looking at comment 9, I really wonder if we should not go back to using less for displaying logs. It is performing better, supports searching, and probably - if the term supports it - also scrolling using the mouse buttons. Implementing the requested features is non trivial and will take some time, for a bug that is mainly UX related. This functionality will move to cockpit, where this bug does not apply anymore. |
