curses/netentry_curses.py: Realigned some text
curses/curses_misc.py:
Added support for clicking stuff (doesn't do anything except change a label
for now)
The keys 'left' and 'right' now accepted, and translated into fake arrows
Added a debug mode for the OptCols
curses/wicd-curses.py:
Removed if loop in locals() from the exception wrapper, this was causing bugs
in OptCols to spam my console
Debug mode on the optcols is set to default (for now)
Cleaned up idle_incr
Removed some of the exception wrappers
This is a curses-based client for wicd. It is designed to imitate wicd-client
as much as can be done with a console-based interface. It is written using the
Urwid (http://excess.org/urwid) toolkit, and thus requires it.
That's all there is to it, really. It installs unless you disable it when you
call setup.py.
Right now, it lists current available networks, and whether you are connected
to anything or not, all of which is updated in real time. Other features
include the ability to connect to networks, global preferences controls, and
per-network settings for wireless networks.
All features that I plan on implementing (that are not mentioned above) are
listed the TODO file in this same directory. If you want any other features,
ask me. I try to be on the #wicd Freenode IRC channel most of the time.
Controls:
F5 : refresh wireless networks
F8 or Q or q: quit
D : disconnect from all active networks
ESC : if connecting to a network, stop doing so
ENTER : Attempt connection to selected network
P : Display preferences dialog
C : Display network configuration for selected network
A : Display "About" dialog
I : Raise the "Scan for hidden networks" dialog
H or h or ? : Raise help dialog
S : Provide instructions for configuring scripts
delete : Delete selected wired network profile (from the wired ComboBox)
F2 : Rename selected wired network profile (from the wired ComboBox)
O : Raise ad-hoc network dialog
IN DIALOGS (Meta usually is "Alt"):
ESC or Q: Quit dialog without saving information (if present)
Meta+Left/Right: Change tabs Left/Right (if tabs present)
Meta+Enter : Quit dialog and save information
FAQ (WIP):
What is wicd-curses?
See above. :-)
Why didn't you call it wicd-urwid? There is a hachoir-urwid package out there.
I first called this "urwicd". However, due to the relative obscurity of
the urwid package, and the fact that many more people know what "curses"
is, I named it wicd-curses.
Why don't you support lower-case keybindings for most of the commands?
I was trying to prevent mass chaos from happening because of mashing keys.
Of course, if you unwittingly have caps-lock on, that's going to cause mass
chaos, too, so you might want to check that (or ask me about changing the
keymaps to ctrl/meta+KEY)
