On macbook, window width is too wide and cannot be resized

[girishji]

It automatically keeps widening window so that a chunk of window is not visible in the viewport. The box that shows path to file is not readable since it is cut off. If I resize the window to fit the screen, a few moments later (after a few searches) the window is too wide again.
Also, please rearrange the boxes so that path to file is on the left half of screen, and buttons can be in 2 rows.
Using v0.25.0

@girishji Is it possible for you to provide a screenshot? Thanks.

It happens when the file whose contents appear in the right hand bottom window has a long path that exceeds the box width where path is seen.

[girishji]

See how window automatically resized to spill past the viewport on the right side, when I selected keymap.c file in the top window. This is to accommodate long path inside that box in the middle right (/Users/gp/...).
Also, you can move some of those brown buttons to their own row, so path can have a row by itself. I don't finsd those buttons useful. You can make them smaller.

Also, opening file using external editor does not work on Mac. Maybe there is a way to use applescript to launch gvim (for instance), a la 'gedit %f ...' for linux.

Hi @girishji

OK. I've understood the point about the filename being too long, causing graphical distortions.

@girishji As for the external editor, I could edit the configuration this way in Windows and Linux (see below).

How come there's no top menu bar in MacOS?

Please see images below:

@girishji For the external editor configuration, perhaps you can give me a default string that will always work in MacOS, and I can use that, similar to notepad.exe on Windows.

I found this for XCode:

xed --line %n %f

Ruben,

• There is a top menu bar in MacOS, it is just not included in my screenshot
• Please use the string for default "open -t %f" (I tested this)
  (-t opens in the default editor, which is a general approach. -a specifies application: 'open -a TextEdit %f' will open file with textedit for example, etc)
  I am not sure how to specify line number in a general way. Each application has its own way, like --line for xed.

@girishji Thanks! I have fixed the GUI bug and also used "open -t %f" (as default on Mac, if a config file was not yet created or not found) and it's currently committed to the develop branch, but it's not yet officially released. If you can build it yourself, then you can try it out. Otherwise, you need to wait for me to release it officially. It may take a few days to appear on Brew.

[girishji]

Thank you!

@girishji Fixed in version 0.26.0. It should appear in Brew within two days.
