view.Line(n) contains "\x00" at end about gocui HOT 7 CLOSED

Can you confirm if it only happens with lines that have been manually written in editable Views?

If so, it's closely related to #60 and should be fixed once that issue is closed. On the other hand, rewriting the edition mode is in progress and (hopefully) will be merged soon.

Confirmed -- this is only happening with view's that have editors attached.

FYI, my use case is creating a "field widget" to enter 1 line of short text, like a input field on a web page. It will have a label, a fieldName and a maxLength. This will create two views, 1 that will contain the field label and another 1 row view that will be used for the field entry text.

I wrappered the exiting editor to handle the complex part of editing, but my wrapper simple ignores up/down arrows and prevents text beyond maxLength for the field. This is also why the other enhancement request to allow a zero frame view. Let me know if I'm making this too complex and if there is a better way to do this.

What about doing it this way?

Please, take into account that I did several simplifications, but should be enough to get an idea :)

Your example is pretty close, however it doesn't allow for arrow keys for editing text already typed into the field. My version used a wrapper around the DefaultEditor to do any special processing on keystrocks, then pass them onto the DefaultEditor as I didn't want to deal with the complexity of processing the arrow keys, insert, etc. Below was my func... a bit ugly with debug code in. Your solution was cleaner -- if it could handle the full editing of the field.

func (w *MyEditor) Edit(v *gocui.View, key gocui.Key, ch rune, mod gocui.Modifier) {
lineValue, _ := v.Line(0)
lineValue = strings.Replace(lineValue, "\x00", "", -1)
currentSize := len(lineValue)
atMax := false
if currentSize >= w.MaxFieldSize {
atMax = true
}
fmt.Printf("\n[%v], currentSize:%v atMax:%v ", lineValue, currentSize, atMax)

switch {
case key == gocui.KeyArrowRight:
x, _ := v.Cursor()
fmt.Printf("\nx:%v", x)
if x < currentSize {
w.baseEditor.Edit(v, key, ch, mod)
}
case key == gocui.KeyArrowLeft:
fallthrough
case key == gocui.KeyBackspace || key == gocui.KeyBackspace2:
fallthrough
case key == gocui.KeyDelete:
fallthrough
case key == gocui.KeyInsert:
w.baseEditor.Edit(v, key, ch, mod)
case key == gocui.KeyEnter:
// v.EditNewLine()
case key == gocui.KeyArrowDown:
// v.MoveCursor(0, 1, false)
case key == gocui.KeyArrowUp:
// v.MoveCursor(0, -1, false)
default:
if !atMax {
//fmt.Printf("key:[%v] ch:[%v]", key, ch )
w.baseEditor.Edit(v, key, ch, mod)
}
}

Yes, I tried to keep the snippet as simple as possible and focus on how to create widgets and so on. Definitely, the new edition mode should make easier to customize this kind of things.
