Prefixes for selected and unselected items

Open squigglezworth opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Per https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/ncmpc/issues/31

Allow setting a prefix char or string that appears before each item. For example ">" or similar. For more clarification, see ncmcpp's configuration.

You mean use ASCII art instead of changing colors? You can already use the hardware cursor; would that be enough for you? In this context, what does "selected" and "unselected" mean?

If you're open to implementing this as an option, I would prefer being able to set random chars or strings as the prefix, as opposed to setting my terminal's cursor, which is rather limited.

As for selected vs unselected, I mean the currently selected item vs unselected items, whether that's in the Queue or the Browsers.

"selected item" = the item the cursor is on? There are various confusing and conflicting definitions for "selected" in UIs.

That's fair.

Yes, the item the cursor is currently on.
