Choose and filter don't work well with long lines.

[james-antill]

% brew info gum | head -n 1
charmbracelet/tap/gum: stable 0.1.0

Easiest reproducers:

% ps axuw | gum filter

% ps axuw | gum choose

Good catch! I will fix this soon with a scrollable viewport 👍

[maaslalani]

Just confirming this only affects gum filter right? gum choose should be paginating long inputs.

[james-antill]

Both here.

left/right arrows move to the next "page" for long results or move to the top/bottom for small results. Dito. h/l keys.

[james-antill]

To be clear, this is a left/right problem ... not an up/down problem. Eg. 200 character lines on an 80 character wide terminal.

Ah I see, would truncation be a reasonable solution? Similar to what fzf does?

I also have this issue. The command I used is sqlite3 -batch -init /dev/null /var/cache/dnf/packages.db "select pkg from available where pkg like \"%\"" | gum filter which you can use on dnf based distros. If I replace gum with bat, sqlite3 -batch -init /dev/null /var/cache/dnf/packages.db "select pkg from available where pkg like \"%\"" | bat it works flawlessly.

@cat-master21 bat and gum filter are not really comparable, you can probably use gum format instead and that will give you line-wrapping.

@james-antill What is the solution you'd like to see?

[james-antill]

I don't care, as long as I can see the data somehow. The obvious two are line wrapping and scrolling the viewport, with the arrows, to the right.

Just a heads up that this will likely solve this issue: charmbracelet/bubbles#240

I encountered this issue myself today.

Horizontal scrolling would be nice, and as James pointed out it would be good to have an option where wrapping long lines is possible as well (if it's not too complex)
