The settings popup opens with an Account block: who the session is logged in
as, how much it shares, the port peers reach it on, and the daemon it borrows
when the window is attached to one. Two rows follow, both confirmed before
they act. A password is typed twice, because the server sends no verdict on a
change and a typo entered once would leave the account with a password nobody
knows. Logging out closes the window and comes back to the login screen with
the stored password deleted, so the next start asks rather than walking
straight back in. A window attached to a daemon offers no logout: the login is
the daemon's.
"Change it on the server, then store it where the login lives" is one function
over the session and the secret store, so the window, the command and the
daemon share the rule rather than each spelling out its own idea of which
process owns the password.
Headless the same two acts are `account password` and `account logout`, and
the daemon answers `account.password` so a routed run is not a dead end —
`whoami` already reported who is logged in and what they share.
A busy room's log scrolls past and its member list runs to a thousand
names, with nothing to narrow either. In a room / now filters the log
to lines mentioning the text and u filters the member list, the same
way the room list and the results filter: type, Enter keeps it, Esc
clears it before it leaves the room. The inbox takes / over the open
conversation. The member keys, b and m among them, act on the narrowed
list, and the titles say what is filtered and how many made it.
A room's chat log was wrapped to the pane width from the first line on
every frame, so a busy room lagged more the longer it stayed open: in
the harness 30,000 lines cost 16.6ms a frame. The wrapped rows now
live with the log and a draw only wraps the lines that arrived since
the last one, starting over when the width changes. The same cache
serves the private-message box, and the room list draws only its
visible page like the other tables. The 30,000-line room now draws in
0.4ms.
A browsed share only moved a row at a time, so a folder of a few
hundred files stood between the user and the next folder. J and K now
jump between folder rows, H and L close or open every folder, and /
filters the whole tree by path the way the results and the room list
filter: type to narrow, Enter keeps it, Esc clears it, then hides. A
folder under a filter shows the paths that match and d downloads just
those. The keys popup gains a browse section and the bar lists them.
The sideways keys the results had (h/l, arrows, 0 and $) now scroll a
transfer's file name and a query too, each list on its own. The browse tree
and the room list take Home/End, PgUp/PgDn and the vim jumps like the main
lists, and a chat log, room or private, pages back through its history and
holds its place while new messages arrive; what arrives meanwhile counts as
unread until the reader returns to the end.
The results pane now has the whole width, where a long file name needs it,
and Searches, Downloads and Info share the row underneath. Tab and Shift-Tab
walk the panes, z zooms the focused one to the window, w hides it so the
others widen, and its number brings it back. Every list takes the same
navigation keys, the shortcuts bar wraps instead of cutting keys off, and ?
lists every key by pane, scrolling on a short terminal.
Follows up on #55.
Press 'o' for a settings popup: edit the download folder, add/remove
share paths (applied live via a rescan and persisted to config.toml),
and force a re-index with 'r' for files changed on disk. The state
machine is unit-tested; feedback shows the shared file/folder counts.
The downloads pane is now Downloads/Uploads: uploads being served are
listed after downloads with an up-arrow marker, live progress, and
status; 'x' cancels an in-progress upload. Client::shared_counts exposes
the index size for the status line.
Replace the single browse view with BrowseTabs (one tab per user),
mirroring the chat-room tabs. Browsing a new user (from search results
or a chat room's member list) opens or focuses their tab; Tab/Shift-Tab
switch between open users, 'w' closes the active tab, Esc hides the
popup while keeping the tabs. A tab bar shows the open users when more
than one is open, and each tab polls/loads independently. Re-browsing a
timed-out user retries. BrowseTabs is unit-tested.
Add a chat-rooms popup (open with 'c') satisfying the requested UX:
- Browsable, /-filterable room list showing per-room user counts,
busiest first; already-open rooms are marked.
- Multiple rooms open at once as tabs; Tab/Shift-Tab switch, 'x' leaves.
- Per-room chat log with a live member list and an inline compose line
(Enter to type, Enter to send; the server echo renders the message).
- Unread indicators: bold tab name + 'room (n)' badge per room, plus
'chat (n)' and 'inbox (n)' counters in the shortcut bar; viewing a
room clears its badge.
RoomsState is unit-tested (routing, unread accounting, tab lifecycle,
filtering).
Wire browsing a user's shared files into the TUI as a modal tree popup:
- press 'b' on a highlighted search result to browse that result's owner, or
'b' elsewhere to type a username (new CommandBarMode::Browse);
- a new models/browse.rs synthesizes the flat SharedDirectory list into a
nested, collapsible tree (intermediate folders reconstructed from the
backslash paths; file download paths kept byte-exact from the original names),
with expand/collapse state and a flatten-to-rows renderer — fully unit-tested;
- the popup polls take_browse_result each tick (with a timeout), navigates with
arrows/hjkl, expands/collapses folders, and queues downloads: Enter on a file,
'd' on a file or an entire folder subtree (recursively) — all funneled into
the existing Downloads pane;
- shortcuts bar advertises browse keys and surfaces our own sharing status.
Add private messaging to the TUI:
- 'm' opens the command bar in message mode; type '<recipient> <text>' and
Enter sends it via the client;
- incoming messages are polled each tick into an inbox;
- 'i' toggles a centered inbox popup listing sent/received messages.
The shared command bar now carries a mode (search vs message) so the prefix,
submit action and shortcut hints follow what is being typed.
