I would like to submit a small set of patches which gives the text
client a
couple of features that I have wanted for a very long time.
These are '-' '+' (minus, plus) commands for single stepping through
rooms
and the '>' and '<' (greater, less than) key commands for going up and
down
floors. While these commands are not strictly necessary, I feel they may
add
a nice sense of freedom and mobility for text client users. At the very
least,
though, I feel they would do no harm. I have implemented the stepping
functions
so as to not muck around with existing functions or functionality.
Hopefully
this reduces the possibility of introducing unexpected behavior or
reducing
maintainability. If it turns out you cannot use this code,
that's okay, I will still enjoy the new commands on my own build of
citadel.
I do stand by my work, however, and if you have any concerns or issues I
would be more than happy to do what it takes to resolve them.
As a small side note, I noticed in the gotofloor function a couple of
TODOs
indicating that room order is being ignored. I included a possible fix
for
this by making a small change to pop_march to take a pointer to a march
struct
to give it a bit more flexibility, and then using pop_march from
gotofloor
to give me the proper room name. This was fairly simple and I hope this
is
a proper fix for this.
Please advise me on where to send these patches and or complete files.
thanks, matt
