Rework UI

[kapitanluffy]

So now that I am using it more. I feel that the quick panel is not the best option to show the compass. It blocks the view when navigating through files, especially files with a small number of lines.

I am rethinking the UI to be something like this

It shows down below while still showing the preview above without blocking it.

Let me know your thoughts.

I love this, similar to Doom Emacs.

I did something similar with terminus, fzf, and ripgrep. I can live grep for words in the active folders. It's a little hacky right now but it seems it could be much nicer.

Cool! I actually have something similar to that already. If I can manage to convert the UI to this, we can totally create things like this fuzzy grep. The current implementation is using a quick panel which is bound to its limitations.

@diocletiann What the heck... Can you share the code for what you've done here?

Haha sure. I (poorly) adapted one of the examples from https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/ADVANCED.md#using-fzf-as-interactive-ripgrep-launcher. What you see is a custom Terminus command that runs the shell script below.

#!/bin/dash

RG_PREFIX="rg --column --no-heading --smart-case --color always --colors 'match:fg:red' --colors 'path:none'";
: | fzf \
	--ansi \
	--scroll-off=3 \
	--layout=reverse \
	--disabled \
	--bind "change:reload:sleep 0.2; $RG_PREFIX {q} || true" \
	--print0 \
	--delimiter : |
	cut -d ':' -f 1-3 |
	xargs -0 -I {} subl {} && exit
