Selection support

[ghost]

Currently only editing feature I miss is text selection with shift-arrows and copy and pasting using ctrl-c, ctrl-v. These shortcuts are standard ones and they are in line with Ox philosophy of using standard shortcuts.

This is definitely something I want to add, I'd want to make Ox more efficient and rewrite it in Crossterm before adding this but this is most definitely the next feature I want to add. :)

That is very good news. Good user friendly console editor will definitely find many fans. wt., 3 lis 2020, 18:38 użytkownik curlpipe <notifications@github.com> napisał:

Any news on this?

Hi @HKalbasi, it looks like this might not be implemented for a while as there are some more pressing things I need to focus on e.g. bug fixing and tweaking the existing features to make them more solid and stable

Just saw the PR, I might actually shift up mouse support in that case. I want to do a few bug fixes (I didn't realise how broken search and replace was 😬 but after some of these basic fixes, I'll get straight to getting a basic form of mouse support with selection up and running!)

[HKalbasi]

How about you fix the bugs and I implement the selection? Ox is my dream terminal editor, I always wished about a non-modal, "normal" editor in the terminal that I can use over ssh. So I'm willing to put work on making it reality. Bugs are equally important for making the editor usable and I don't want to deprioritise them.

That sounds great, I'm happy to crack on with the bugs!

I'm so glad you like the idea behind Ox! Hopefully the future of this editor is bright 👍

Implemented in 0.5.2
