# HG changeset patch # User Jun Wu # Date 1480375982 0 # Node ID 9b674957e2e44c9e3efbafcaa083e119307dcd5c # Parent f3cff00c7a00d1d5b7850ceb0b96545a389139af crecord: rewrite status line text (BC) Previously, we display fixed text in the 2-line status header. Now we want to customize some word there to make the "revert" action clear. However, if we simply replace the verb using '%s' like this: "SELECT CHUNKS: (j/k/up/dn/pgup/pgdn) move cursor; " "(space/A) toggle hunk/all; (e)dit hunk;"), " (f)old/unfold; (c)onfirm %s; (q)uit; (?) help " % verb "| [X]=hunk %s **=folded, toggle [a]mend mode" % verb It could cause trouble for i18n - some languages may expect things like "%(verb) confirm", for example. Therefore, this patch chooses to break the hard-coded 2-line sentences into "segment"s which could be translated (and replaced) separately. With the clean-up, I'm also changing the content being displayed, to make it cleaner and more friendly to (new) users, namely: - Replace "SELECT CHUNKS" to "Select hunks to record". Because: - To eliminate "hunk" / "chunk" inconsistency. - "record" is used in the "text" UI. Do not use "apply", to make it consistent. - To make it clear you are choosing what to record, not revert, or discard etc. This is probably the most important information the user should know. So let's put it first. - "to record" could be replaced to others depending on the operation. The follow-up patches will address them. - Move "[x]" and "**" legends first to explain the current interface. New users should understand what the legends mean, followed by what they can do in the interface. - Replace "j/k/up/dn/pgup/pgdn" with "arrow keys". Because: - "arrow keys" is more friendly to new users. - Mentioning "j/k" first may make emacs users angry. We should stay neutral about editors. - "pgup/pgdn" actually don't work very well. For example, within a hunk of 100-line insertion, "pgdn" just moves one single line. - Left/Right arrow keys are useful for movement and discovery of "expanding" a block. - Replace "fold/unfold" with "collapse/expand", "fold" is well known as a different meaning in histedit and evolve. - Replace "(space/A) toggle hunk/all" to "space: select". Because: - "A: toggle all" is not that useful - It's unclear how "hunk" could be "toggled" to a dumb user. Let's make it clear it's all about "select". - A follow-up will make it use "unselect" when we know the current item is selected. - Remove "(f)old". Use arrow keys instead. - Remove "toggle [a]mend mode". It's just confusing and could be useless. - Remove "(e)dit hunk". It's powerful but not friendly to new users. - Replace "(q)uit" to "q: abort" to make it clear you will lose changes. The result looks like the following in a 73-char-width terminal: Select hunks to record - [x]=selected **=collapsed c: confirm q: abort arrow keys: move/expand/collapse space: select ?: help If the terminal is 132-char wide, the text could fit in a single line. diff -r f3cff00c7a00 -r 9b674957e2e4 mercurial/crecord.py --- a/mercurial/crecord.py Wed Nov 23 22:23:15 2016 +0000 +++ b/mercurial/crecord.py Mon Nov 28 23:33:02 2016 +0000 @@ -946,15 +946,39 @@ self.linesprintedtopadsofar += linesprinted return t + def _getstatuslinesegments(self): + """-> [str]. return segments""" + segments = [ + _('Select hunks to record'), + '-', + _('[x]=selected **=collapsed'), + _('c: confirm'), + _('q: abort'), + _('arrow keys: move/expand/collapse'), + _('space: select'), + _('?: help'), + ] + return segments + def _getstatuslines(self): """() -> [str]. return short help used in the top status window""" if self.errorstr is not None: lines = [self.errorstr, _('Press any key to continue')] else: - lines = [_("SELECT CHUNKS: (j/k/up/dn/pgup/pgdn) move cursor; " - "(space/A) toggle hunk/all; (e)dit hunk;"), - _(" (f)old/unfold; (c)onfirm applied; (q)uit; (?) help " - "| [X]=hunk applied **=folded, toggle [a]mend mode")] + # wrap segments to lines + segments = self._getstatuslinesegments() + width = self.xscreensize + lines = [] + lastwidth = width + for s in segments: + w = encoding.colwidth(s) + sep = ' ' * (1 + (s and s[0] not in '-[')) + if lastwidth + w + len(sep) >= width: + lines.append(s) + lastwidth = w + else: + lines[-1] += sep + s + lastwidth += w + len(sep) if len(lines) != self.numstatuslines: self.numstatuslines = len(lines) self.statuswin.resize(self.numstatuslines, self.xscreensize)
