Micro UI

Saw this mentioned in a YouTube video. Seems impressive for ~1100 lines of C (excluding rendering)

That is pretty interesting. I especially liked the "reordering" of the command buffer.

There's some good stuff on there: https://rxi.github.io/textbox_behaviour.html

Today I learned that ctrl-insert copies to clipboard?!! And shift-insert pastes.
Actually, I kinda like it for when you aren't using the mouse. It doesn't need the left little finger stretch required for ctrl-c/v. I think I'm going to start using this!

We can't actually have two keybindings for a single action in DVUI can we? I'm not sure it is worth introducing just for this though.

I did not know that either - is it OS specific?

Yeah we can! It looks like this:

        try self.keybinds.putNoClobber(self.gpa, "activate", .{ .key = .enter, .also = "activate_1" });
        try self.keybinds.putNoClobber(self.gpa, "activate_1", .{ .key = .space });

Nice! Only tried on Windows so far, but will check.

Definitely doesn't work on MacOS with either ctrl or cmd.
For Linux, I'm not sure. It was working, even in plain old xterm. But I can't guarantee that windows isn't getting in the way. It isn't listed as a keyboard shortcut in gnome-terminal, but does work. Again, this could be Windows.

But should be safe to add for Windows. Can attach to the cleanup changes if you like.

Yeah go for it!
