Before this release, --quit-if-one-screen made the terminal flash even
when the contents fit on one screen. Moor switched to the alternate
screen, painted a frame, and switched right back before printing the
contents where they belong.
With this release, when the contents fit on one screen moor prints them
without ever touching the alternate screen, so there is nothing to see
but the text.
Getting there also meant waiting for syntax highlighting before deciding
whether the contents fit: highlighting can turn one line of JSON into a
hundred, so source files and piped JSON used to flash where a .txt file
did not.
Also in this release:
- Moor now resets the terminal style before exiting, so a colored last
line no longer bleeds into your next shell prompt. This affected
--no-clear-on-exit and --quit-if-one-screen output as wide as the
screen - With
--no-clear-on-exit-margin 0, the last line of the contents is
no longer silently dropped on exit - If the reader panics, moor now keeps going with whatever it read
instead of spinning its spinner forever - pkg/moor: the terminal is restored even if paging panics, rather than
leaving the embedding process on the alternate screen in raw mode - pkg/moor: embedders no longer lose the last line of short contents
Known limitation: input that is short but arrives slowly can still flash.
Fixing that requires waiting a fixed amount of time before showing
anything, and nobody has picked a number yet.
