It’s not dynamic though. Take my tree holding example and compare the speed of collapsing a tree in a GUI like Firefox vs doing the same with iteratively updating jq queries.
Much as I prefer command line tools for most tasks, it’s silly to say that they’re always just as dynamic as GUIs.
You can already recreate my tree folding example as a TUI using block characters and terminal mouse input. There’s nothing exotic about that. So all I’m suggesting is that this convenience should be built in as standard.
- Zababa 2y agoThe issue is that you can't use the other tools of the terminal like grepping and friends on a TUI. You can get semi-dynamic behavior with stuff like piping into fzf, maybe there's something like this for JSON collapsing too?
