This is a developer console for the bevy game engine. It's inspired by the user interface of classic unix text editors rather than the unix shell.
Caution
bevy_minibuffer is currently in the early stages of development and is subject to breaking changes.
The video above shows the two_commands.rs example.
- Easily add commands
- Easily bind key chord sequences to commands
- Easily solicit user for textual input
- Tab completable
- Easily exclude from build
- Easily opt-in to built-in functionality
- No general-purpose text editing
- No windows or panels
Try to force everything through the minibuffer at the bottom of the screen. It can resize to accommodate more than one-line of text.
- No default kitchen sink
The default functionality should be a blank slate that does nothing if no commands or key bindings have been added. Built-in functions like exec_act and the ":" key binding should be opt-in.
bevy_minibuffer commands are called Acts to avoid confusion because bevy
already has its own Command struct.
- Use a real cursor/selection highlight that doesn't fail on wrap.
- Change the keyseq macros to use lower case, or use caps on mods like "Ctrl-C".
- Copy-and-paste the color::View to create Minibuffer's own View.
- Get off of unreleased dependencies.
- Re-write asky to be bevy native.
The minibuffer can show more than one line of text, but what to do if its asked to show multiple pages of text?
