This allows keybindings such as:
a script-message-to console type "seek :0 absolute" 6
% script-message-to console type "seek absolute-percent" 6
The cursor position 0 isn't allowed because it has the weird effect of
filling the console with the text twice, leaving the cursor in the
middle.
Negative positions would put the cursor n characters before the end, and
positions greater than the text's length at the end. They seem to work
at first, but the console breaks when you move the cursor, so they
aren't allowed.
It seems that float values don't cause issues, but I'm using the
argument's floor anyway to be safe. Using >= 1 instead of > 0 ignores
values like 0.5.
This used 1 MB due to building the complete command and property list
when starting the script. These are needed only for auto-completion, so
build them only on demand. Since building them is fast enough, rebuild
them every time.
The key bindings table is not that much, but saves some KBs. Oddly, the
code to build it uses less memory than the table at runtime (???), so
build it at runtime as well.
Add 2 tactic collectgarbage() calls as well. This frees unused heap when
it is known that the script is going to be completely inactive until
re-enabled by the user.
While mpv normally uses the text a key produces (as opposed to physical
key mappings), this is different with the keypad. This is for the sake
of making it possible to distinguish between these keys and the normal
number keys on the left side of a full size keyboard.
There were complaints that the keypad doesn't interact with console.lua,
so manually map them. This ignores numlock (behaves as if it's always
on), and maps KP_DEC to "." (even though it's mapped to "," on some
keyboards). The /*-+ keys produce ASCII on mpv (at least with X11) as an
inexplicable inconsistency, so there are no mappings for these.
Fixes: #7431
this deprecates the old cocoa backend only option and moves it to the
general macos ones. add support for the new option in the cocoa-cb
layer creation and use the new option in the olde cocoa backend.
Fixes#7272
It's not really great. But I think it's good enough to save someone
who's lost. Most importantly, it should become obvious _what_ the
console expects (input commands), and how to exit it.
Would be nice if we could show some documentation, or give a link to
documentation, but that's out of scope and/or not easy.
I considered implementing the "help" command as builtin command in
command.c. On the other hand, this could not show console.lua specific
help, so I implemented it in console.lua. The ad-hoc command parsing
(that sort-of mirrors mpv input command syntax) for the "help" command
is probably the worst part of this.
I decided to factor this into the user's scale option (instead of
somehow using it as default if the user has not specified it), because
it makes the option handling simpler, and won't break things like
per-screen DPI if the user only wants to scale the console font by a
factor.
Merged from mpv-repl git repo commit 5ea2bf64f9c239f0326b02. Some
changes were made on top of it:
- Tabs were converted to 4 spaces indentation (plus some manual
indentation fixes in some places).
- All user-visible mentions of "repl" were renamed to "console".
- The README was converted to a manpage (with heavy changes, some
additions taken from stats.rst; rossy converted the key bindings
table to RST).
- The method to change the default key binding was changed.
- Change minor detail about "font" default value setting (not a
functional change).
- Integrate into the player as builtin script, including an option to
prevent loading it.
