add custom Input/Command lines

[Edru2]

Brief overview of PR changes/additions

Adds the possibility for creating own custom commandlines and or activating commandlines which are integrated in miniconsoles by using:
createCommandLine([windowname], name, x, y, width, height)

or for the integrated ones miniconsole
enableCommandLine(miniconsole_name)

By this also different commandline functions and resetProfile() needed adjusting to accommodate this.

(adding optional commandlineName parameter)
clearCmdLine([commandlineName])
printCmdLine([commandlineName], text)
appendCmdLine([commandlineName], text)
getCmdLine([commandlineName])

moveWindow, resizeWindow, raiseWindow, lowerWindow, setWindow also works for the not integrated commandLines

For the integrated commandlines the name is just the same as their miniconsole name.

Unaltered this commandlines just work as the main commandline and send the command directly to the game.
It is possible to attach an action to the command similar to the setLabelCallback events by using:
setCmdLineAction(commandLineName, function, args
to reset to the previous state:
resetCmdLineAction(commandLineName)

Geyser wrapper is:
Geyser.CommandLine
with the standard Geyser.Window function and wrapper for:
mycommandline:clear() ---clearCmdLine wrapper
mycommandline:print()
mycommandline:append()
mycommandline:getText()

A Geyser wrapper for setCmdLineAction mycommandline:setAction(func, args) was also added usage is the same as for clickcallbackevents

mycommandline:setAction(function(text) echo("My CommandLine Text:  "..text.."\n") end)

or

function testfunction(myarg, text)
  echo(myarg..text.."\n")
end
mycommandline:setAction("testfunction","My CommandLine Text:")

For direct example usage see below.

Geyser wrapper for MiniConsole is:
myminiconsole:enableCommandLine()
myminiconsole:disableCommandLine()
myminiconsole:setCmdAction()
...

Motivation for adding to Mudlet

fix #1897

Other info (issues closed, discussion etc)

I used the same method what was used for consoles (with different mTypes as SubConsoles) by dividing command line in main command line and sub command lines.

Example code 2 Geyser.MiniConsoles with enabled commandline

testadjustablecontainer = testadjustablecontainer or Adjustable.Container:new({name = "TestContainer"})
testminiconsole = testminiconsole or Geyser.MiniConsole:new({name = "TestMiniconsole", x = 0, y = 0, width = "100%", height = "100%"}, testadjustablecontainer)
testminiconsole:enableCommandLine()
testminiconsole:setCmdAction(function(text) testminiconsole:echo("First CommandLine: "..text.."\n") end)


testadjustablecontainer2 = testadjustablecontainer2 or Adjustable.Container:new({name = "TestContainer2"})
testminiconsole2 = testminiconsole2 or Geyser.MiniConsole:new({name = "TestMiniconsole2", x = 0, y = 0, width = "100%", height = "100%"}, testadjustablecontainer2)
testminiconsole2:enableCommandLine()
testminiconsole2:setCmdAction(function(text) testminiconsole2:echo("Second CommandLine: "..text.."\n") end)

The example above:

Another example:
A Geyser.CommandLine in an Geyser.Label the input changes the color of the Label. For example use "red" as input or <100,100,100>

-- use double of calcFontSize height as commandline height
-- Geyser.CommandLines don't resize automatically
local w,h = calcFontSize()
testadjustablecontainer3 = testadjustablecontainer3 or Adjustable.Container:new({name = "TestContainer3"})
testLabel = testLabel or Geyser.Label:new({name = "testLabel", x = 0, y = 0, width = "100%", height = "-"..h*2}, testadjustablecontainer3)
testCommandLine = testCommandLine or Geyser.CommandLine:new({name ="testcommandline" ,x=0, y="-30", width="100%", height = h*2}, testadjustablecontainer3)
testCommandLine:setAction(
function(text)
  if Geyser.Color.parse(text) then 
    testLabel:setColor(text) 
  end
end)

melts finally!!!

@Leigheas Help test it :)

It all seems to work in my testing. The only things I can think of I might possibly want is the ability to set the bg and fg color of the command lines. But that needn't hold this PR back

If this goes in I plan to make a setCommandLineStylesheet function which would take care of that and make https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Scripting#How_to_move_the_command_line_over.3F easier

But that's for another/next PR

[demonnic]

No agreed, shouldn't hold this PR up but since it was literally the only thing I could think of I thought I'd mention it =)

[Leigheas]

So far so good Havnt really dug super into it but as I've stated applications towards ui creation are plentiful. Plan on playing around with it more
