Hello, Recently billiob worked around and almost rewrite the patch I was asking help for, last year, for miniview implementation for terminology. Minivew feature is a "map" of the history lines shown in a visual way at the right of your terminal, helping the user to go back in history in ease. User should be able to click on one point in this map and terminology will scroll back and show that point in terminal.
What we have right now is a "history line to pixel" approach for drawing and placing at the right side, so for a terminal window with height say 500px we have only 500lines of history shown and the user have to scroll into the miniviews history to visually find something that goes back beyond line #500. It's like having 2 things for the same purpose. What I propose is to draw an image with height pixels equal to scrollback lines (taken from config maybe) and then "squeeze" this image into the side of the terminal window. For example if we have set scrollback to 2000 lines we should draw an image with height of 2000px (each pixel represents every line in history) and then stretch this image to fit the 500px height window of the terminal. Sorry for the big post, but I wanted to know what people, especially raster and billiob, think about my approach.
