admin	45b8ddd483	A print dialog with a preview, CUPS and the print portal, a Windows backend, and ltk::dirs for the user's folders CI / build + test (push) Canceled after 0s Details CI / cargo audit (push) Canceled after 0s Details Printing. An app that wanted to print had nothing in ltk to ask the user where and how, nor to reach a printer. `ltk::print` (`src/print/`) is a dialog built as `FileChooser` is: the app holds a `PrintDialog`, puts its `view()` in its own and hands its `PrintDialogMsg`s to `update()`, which returns a `PrintEvent`; `wrap` makes the app's message of the dialog's, so the printer list reaches it through the app's `ChannelSender`. It offers the destination, the printers CUPS knows with their state and "Save as PDF", the number of copies, all pages or a range such as `1-3, 5, 8-`, the paper (A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5), the orientation, the margins, the scale, two-sided printing, colour and background graphics, the copies, sides and colour only for a printer. `PrintOptions` holds what was chosen and survives between dialogs, `parse_pages` and `format_pages` read and write the ranges. On a desktop the dialog is a card with ltk's `dialog()`, the preview on the left and the settings on the right; `compact()` makes it a whole page for a phone. `.printer( name )` and `.save_as_pdf()` choose where it starts. The preview. With `.preview( true )` the dialog asks the app for one with `PrintEvent::Preview( options )` whenever a setting that moves the pages changes, and shows what the app hands back to `PrintDialogMsg::previewed`, a `Preview` of some pages as RGBA with the document's total, one page at a time with buttons to move between them, greyed when colour is off. While one is being rendered a new request waits and is sent only if the layout changed meanwhile, so turning the scale quickly does not stack renders; until the first arrives the sheet's box shows "Preparing the preview…", kept to the sheet's width so it does not push the settings aside. CUPS. `print/cups.rs` loads `libcups.so.2` with `dlopen` at first use, so ltk neither links against it nor needs its headers, and a system without CUPS only loses its printers. It uses the destinations API, which also lists the network's driverless printers that have no queue: `printers()` with the default first, `print( printer, title, options, pdf )` sending the PDF as one job with `copies`, `media` as a PWG name, `sides` and `print-color-mode`, `jobs()`, `cancel()` and `set_default()`, which writes the user's `lpoptions`. `ltk::print::send`, `list_printers`, `jobs`, `cancel_job` and `set_default` run them on a thread and answer through the app's sender; `ltk::print::blocking` exposes them as they are, for code that has its own thread, such as a portal backend. `print/none.rs` stands in on Windows, Android and the browser, where only saving as PDF is offered. The portal. An app in a Flatpak cannot reach the CUPS socket. When `/.flatpak-info` exists, the dialog shows nothing of its own: it calls `org.freedesktop.portal.Print.PreparePrint` with the options as GTK's print settings and page setup, and the portal's own dialog answers; `Destination::Portal` then carries its token, and `send` passes the PDF to `Print` through a memfd. The Response signal is subscribed to on the request's path before the call, so a quick answer is not missed. `print/gtk.rs` translates `PrintOptions` to and from GTK's keys (`n-copies`, `page-ranges` counted from zero, `duplex`, `use-color`, `scale` in percent, the paper by its PWG name and size in millimetres), which a portal backend uses for the other direction. zbus 4, the one accesskit_unix already brings, joins the `wayland` feature for it. The dialog's strings are in ltk's seven locales. `file_chooser::view::icon` is shared with the dialog. Windows. The `windows` feature runs `ltk::run` in a Win32 window on Windows 10 1703 or later, with Windows's own frame, drawn through ANGLE's EGL and OpenGL ES when `libEGL.dll` and `libGLESv2.dll` sit beside the executable and in software through GDI otherwise (`src/platform/windows/`). It sizes the window by `App::window_size_hint` at the display's DPI and follows per-monitor DPI changes at fractional scales and the accessibility text size; it takes the mouse, the wheel, touch through `WM_POINTER`, and keys with Windows's repeat, dead keys and AltGr; it has the system clipboard, the cursor's shape, full screen, and moves and resizes begun from the app's own chrome, and keeps drawing while the window is moved or resized. Themes, fonts, keyboard layouts and MIME globs come from `ltk\` beside the executable, which `ltk::resource_dir` returns there by default; the font fallback chain and the monospace face are Windows's own, the system face stays the embedded Sora, and the file chooser offers each drive's root. A Win32 message loop cannot wait on calloop, so the runtime's timers and channels go through the queue the web backend already used: `build.rs` sets `cfg( queued_sources )` for both, and `AppData::dispatch_sources` moves from the web backend to `event_loop/sources.rs`. `Canvas::present_to` presents a GPU frame stretched over a window that a fractional scale left a pixel off it, and `EglContext::new_windows` and `create_native_surface` give ANGLE's display and an `HWND`'s surface. `App::save_state` is saved into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\<app_id>\` every 30 seconds, on exit and when the user's session ends, and restored as on Wayland: the part of the Wayland session runtime that does not speak the protocol, deciding why the app starts and handing it its bytes, is now `session_state::bootstrap`, which both backends call, with the file modes and the check for a running instance done each platform's way. `RunError::Window` reports a window Windows refused. `make windows-deps` and `make windows-check` typecheck the backend from Debian, compiling std from `rust-src`. `docs/windows.md` describes building, what ships beside the executable and what the backend does. ltk::dirs. `home`, `data_home`, `config_home`, `cache_home` and `state_home`: XDG's on Linux, with their usual fallbacks under the home folder, and on Windows `USERPROFILE`, `APPDATA` for data and settings and `LOCALAPPDATA` for the cache and state, an `XDG_*` variable that is set winning everywhere. An app finds its files there instead of reading `HOME` and the XDG variables itself, which on Windows are unset; ltk's own lookups of themes, keyboard layouts, MIME globs, the file chooser's folders and the session state now go through it, and `state_dir` takes the base it is given, its tests with it. Docs. The links to `WidgetId` in the crate's, `types`' and `App`'s documentation name the struct, since the `const fn` of the same name made them ambiguous to rustdoc. `README.md` names the other backends and `CHANGELOG.md` records the Windows backend and `ltk::dirs`. Not done. The print dialog has no CHANGELOG entry nor a page in `docs/widgets.md`. Under the portal there is no preview, since the portal's dialog gets the document only at the end. The desktop card's settings column does not scroll, so with a list open in a low window it may not fit. Tests cover the page ranges and the translation to GTK's keys, not the dialog, CUPS or the portal. On Windows there are no overlays, secondary surfaces or subsurfaces, no preedit for the input method and no accessibility.	2026-11-01 22:49:18 +01:00
admin	8882078743	A text field that serves as an editor, a file chooser, ltk::files with callbacks, Text::fit, App::window_title, and a stack that keeps its children inside it CI / build + test (push) Canceled after 0s Details CI / cargo audit (push) Canceled after 0s Details A multiline text field was a box for a few lines: it wrapped its whole value by shaping each character alone on every frame, every click and every caret motion, so a file of some size made it crawl; it drew a tab as the font's glyph for it, had no scroll bar, no page keys and no way to number its lines, kept no record of the view it showed, so once the cursor had left the first screen it stayed on the last row and the arrows moved the text, and an app could neither colour its text, type a tab with Tab, give it a face of its own, ask it to copy, cut, paste or select, nor hear where its cursor was. Notes, the Eydos text editor, needs all of it, and every app that opens or saves the user's files needed a dialog of its own. Speed. `Canvas::measure_char` measures a character's advance once per font and size and keeps it (`text_shaping::char_advance_cached`, emptied with the shaped lines), and `compute_visual_lines` keeps the last four layouts by the value's hash and length, the row width, the size and the face, so a value is wrapped again only when one of them changes, and drawing, hit testing and caret motion over the same value wrap it once. The view. `TextEdit::draw` returns the view it showed, which the frame keeps in `text_scroll`, so the view moves only when the cursor leaves it, and by the least; a `TextCommand::Select` no longer resets it. `Window::shown` gives the lines as the last frame showed them, wherever the cursor went since, and a press, the wheel, the scroll bar and the page keys act on them: a press that gave a field the focus, which puts its cursor at the end, landed where the view would have gone to show that cursor, near the end of the text, instead of on the character pressed. The cursor a scroll keeps is taken back to the value's length as the view's is, so a scroll made with the cursor at its end sentinel holds instead of going back to the cursor at once. Tabs. In a multiline field a tab reaches the next stop, every four digits' widths, as four monospace columns are (`theme::TAB_COLUMNS`, `text_edit/tabs.rs`), when it is drawn, selected, clicked and crossed with the arrows. `TextEdit::tab_text( text )` has Tab type `text` while the field has the focus instead of moving the focus on; Shift+Tab still moves it back and Ctrl+Tab still reaches the app. The scroll bar. A field whose lines do not all fit shows a scroll bar along its right edge (`Window::scrollbar`): its thumb is held and dragged, or a press on its track brings the thumb there, by pointer or touch, without moving the cursor (`AppData::text_scrollbar_grab`, `handle_text_scrollbar_press`, `handle_text_scrollbar_drag`); the pointer over it is the arrow rather than the text cursor, and a long press that holds it no longer opens the Copy / Cut / Paste menu. Page Up and Page Down move the cursor of a multiline field by the lines on screen but one, at the same height on screen, and the view with it, to the start or the end from the first or the last page (`cursor_visual_page`, `handle_cursor_page`); Shift extends the selection, and with Ctrl, or in any other widget, the keys still reach the app. A key without Ctrl that types no text, such as F3, was dropped while a text field had the focus; it now goes to `App::on_key_with_modifiers`, as it does with no field focused. The text as an editor's. `TextEdit::highlights( Arc<Vec<TextHighlight>> )` draws runs of a multiline value, byte ranges in order, in colours of their own, what no run covers in the field's colour and a run off a character boundary left out. `TextEdit::font( face )` lays a multiline field's text out in a face of its own at the field's size: wrapping, drawing, the selection, the cursor, clicks, tab stops and the arrows all measure through one `TextFont`, the size and the face, which `text_input_geometry` now gives the runtime's paths where it gave them the size; `Canvas::measure_char_with_font` is `measure_char` in another face. `ltk::monospace_font()` finds a monospace face, DejaVu Sans Mono from the app's resources, which a page and an APK carry, else the first of the system's installed, loaded once. `TextEdit::line_numbers( true )` numbers the lines in a column at the field's left, in the monospace face when there is one, as wide as the number of the last line needs, a wrapped line numbered on its first row and the cursor's in the text colour while the field has the focus; the text starts right of the column alike when drawn and in every runtime path, since they all lay it out in the rect `gutter::text_rect` gives. `borderless()` now also drops a multiline field's background and border. Talking to the field. `App::take_text_command` hands a field, by its `WidgetId`, a `TextCommand` after the next frame: `Copy`, `Cut`, `Paste` and `SelectAll` through the paths the keys take, and `Select { start, end }`, which focuses the field, selects the range with its ends taken back to the value and to its characters' starts, and scrolls to it. `Reveal { start, end }` does the same without moving the focus, as a search does while its own field keeps the keys, and a multiline field without the focus now shows its selection dimmed (`theme::selection_inactive`). `TextEdit::on_cursor( \|at\| … )` sends the cursor's byte offset once it is placed and whenever it moves or the value changes length (`report_text_cursors`, after every frame), as an editor's status bar showing the line needs. A file chooser. `ltk::FileChooser` (`src/file_chooser/`) picks a file to open or a folder and a name to save one as, over `ltk::files`, alike natively and in a browser. The app holds it, puts its `view()` in its own and hands its `FileChooserMsg`s to `update()`, which returns `Chosen::Path` or `Chosen::Cancelled` once the user chose; `wrap` makes the app's message of the chooser's, so its listings reach it through the app's `ChannelSender`. It offers the home folder, the xdg-user-dirs folders that exist, the root and the folders mounted in a browser, with a press there to mount another; it lists folders first, the hidden entries left out, each with its type's icon, a file with its size and the date of its last access or change, sorted as Crate sorts, by name, last access or size, each key in a direction of its own (`Sort`, `SortKey`, `Directions`). `dir` starts elsewhere, `filter( &[ "text/*" ] )` shows only some types of files, `compact( true )` puts the places behind a button for a phone, `sort` starts in an order kept from `current_sort`, and `take_focus_request` gives the field to focus. Saving asks before replacing a file and can create a folder; its errors are in the user's words, and its strings in ltk's seven locales. `files::mounts()` gives the folders mounted in a browser as the desktop last said, which the web backend now keeps. `docs/widgets.md` describes it and `examples/file_chooser.rs` shows it, in `make examples`. ltk::files::callback. The operations of `ltk::files` with a function in place of a message (`list`, `stat`, `read`, `read_range`, `write`, `create_dir`, `rename`, `remove`, `remove_all`, `copy`, `copy_all`, `mount` and `unmount`), for code with no run loop's `ChannelSender` to take one, such as Prompt's session daemon, which in a browser runs in the page beside the window. `done` is called on ltk's worker thread natively and on the page's thread in a browser. Closing. An app that keeps its window open in `on_close_requested`, to ask whether to save, was not drawn again, so its question appeared only at the next event, such as a press. Every close request, from the compositor, the title bar's close button, back and the browser, now goes through `AppData::request_close`, which draws the view again when the app refused it. `App::window_title`. The main window's title, read when the window is made, which the title bar, the task switcher and the dock show; by default the `app_id`. A `ShellMode::Window` app was titled "ltk" on Wayland, whatever the app, with no way to name it but the deprecated `window_config`; in a browser its title was its `app_id`, and is now this. `Text::fit` and `Text::valign`. `fit()` draws a text at the largest size up to its own at which it fits the rect the layout gives it, on one line within its width and height or, with `wrap`, all its lines within its height, so a text whose length varies, such as a calculator's display, neither overflows a box the window sizes nor needs its size worked out from the window and its content; its preferred size is still the one at its own size. `valign( VAlign )` places the lines at the top, the centre or the bottom of the rect. A stack keeps its children inside it. A child that `Stack` aligned to an edge or the centre took its preferred size even when that was larger than the stack, so one aligned to the bottom started above the stack's top and one aligned to the right left of its left edge, drawn over whatever was there. Each child's preferred size is now capped by the stack's, less its margin, before it is aligned; children placed with `push_placed` and the offsets of `push_translated` are as they were. Tests cover Tab with and without `tab_text`, the text commands, `Reveal` leaving the focus alone, a highlight into a character, `on_cursor` reporting once, a refused close drawing again, a key that types nothing reaching the app from a field, tab stops, a click on a tab, the kept layouts, the scroll bar, a view kept while the cursor moves inside it and after a scroll with the cursor at its sentinel, a click landing on the view shown, the page keys, the width of the line numbers, the file chooser's listing, filters, names, user folders, sizes, sorting and its open, save and replace flows, `Text::fit` and a stack's aligned children. `CHANGELOG.md` and `docs/widgets.md` describe the changes.	2026-10-26 23:00:33 +01:00

A print dialog with a preview, CUPS and the print portal, a Windows backend, and ltk::dirs for the user's folders

Printing. An app that wanted to print had nothing in ltk to ask the user where and how, nor to reach a printer. `ltk::print` (`src/print/`) is a dialog built as `FileChooser` is: the app holds a `PrintDialog`, puts its `view()` in its own and hands its `PrintDialogMsg`s to `update()`, which returns a `PrintEvent`; `wrap` makes the app's message of the dialog's, so the printer list reaches it through the app's `ChannelSender`. It offers the destination, the printers CUPS knows with their state and "Save as PDF", the number of copies, all pages or a range such as `1-3, 5, 8-`, the paper (A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5), the orientation, the margins, the scale, two-sided printing, colour and background graphics, the copies, sides and colour only for a printer. `PrintOptions` holds what was chosen and survives between dialogs, `parse_pages` and `format_pages` read and write the ranges. On a desktop the dialog is a card with ltk's `dialog()`, the preview on the left and the settings on the right; `compact()` makes it a whole page for a phone. `.printer( name )` and `.save_as_pdf()` choose where it starts.
The preview. With `.preview( true )` the dialog asks the app for one with `PrintEvent::Preview( options )` whenever a setting that moves the pages changes, and shows what the app hands back to `PrintDialogMsg::previewed`, a `Preview` of some pages as RGBA with the document's total, one page at a time with buttons to move between them, greyed when colour is off. While one is being rendered a new request waits and is sent only if the layout changed meanwhile, so turning the scale quickly does not stack renders; until the first arrives the sheet's box shows "Preparing the preview…", kept to the sheet's width so it does not push the settings aside.
CUPS. `print/cups.rs` loads `libcups.so.2` with `dlopen` at first use, so ltk neither links against it nor needs its headers, and a system without CUPS only loses its printers. It uses the destinations API, which also lists the network's driverless printers that have no queue: `printers()` with the default first, `print( printer, title, options, pdf )` sending the PDF as one job with `copies`, `media` as a PWG name, `sides` and `print-color-mode`, `jobs()`, `cancel()` and `set_default()`, which writes the user's `lpoptions`. `ltk::print::send`, `list_printers`, `jobs`, `cancel_job` and `set_default` run them on a thread and answer through the app's sender; `ltk::print::blocking` exposes them as they are, for code that has its own thread, such as a portal backend. `print/none.rs` stands in on Windows, Android and the browser, where only saving as PDF is offered.
The portal. An app in a Flatpak cannot reach the CUPS socket. When `/.flatpak-info` exists, the dialog shows nothing of its own: it calls `org.freedesktop.portal.Print.PreparePrint` with the options as GTK's print settings and page setup, and the portal's own dialog answers; `Destination::Portal` then carries its token, and `send` passes the PDF to `Print` through a memfd. The Response signal is subscribed to on the request's path before the call, so a quick answer is not missed. `print/gtk.rs` translates `PrintOptions` to and from GTK's keys (`n-copies`, `page-ranges` counted from zero, `duplex`, `use-color`, `scale` in percent, the paper by its PWG name and size in millimetres), which a portal backend uses for the other direction. zbus 4, the one accesskit_unix already brings, joins the `wayland` feature for it.
The dialog's strings are in ltk's seven locales. `file_chooser::view::icon` is shared with the dialog.
Windows. The `windows` feature runs `ltk::run` in a Win32 window on Windows 10 1703 or later, with Windows's own frame, drawn through ANGLE's EGL and OpenGL ES when `libEGL.dll` and `libGLESv2.dll` sit beside the executable and in software through GDI otherwise (`src/platform/windows/`). It sizes the window by `App::window_size_hint` at the display's DPI and follows per-monitor DPI changes at fractional scales and the accessibility text size; it takes the mouse, the wheel, touch through `WM_POINTER`, and keys with Windows's repeat, dead keys and AltGr; it has the system clipboard, the cursor's shape, full screen, and moves and resizes begun from the app's own chrome, and keeps drawing while the window is moved or resized. Themes, fonts, keyboard layouts and MIME globs come from `ltk\` beside the executable, which `ltk::resource_dir` returns there by default; the font fallback chain and the monospace face are Windows's own, the system face stays the embedded Sora, and the file chooser offers each drive's root. A Win32 message loop cannot wait on calloop, so the runtime's timers and channels go through the queue the web backend already used: `build.rs` sets `cfg( queued_sources )` for both, and `AppData::dispatch_sources` moves from the web backend to `event_loop/sources.rs`. `Canvas::present_to` presents a GPU frame stretched over a window that a fractional scale left a pixel off it, and `EglContext::new_windows` and `create_native_surface` give ANGLE's display and an `HWND`'s surface. `App::save_state` is saved into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\<app_id>\` every 30 seconds, on exit and when the user's session ends, and restored as on Wayland: the part of the Wayland session runtime that does not speak the protocol, deciding why the app starts and handing it its bytes, is now `session_state::bootstrap`, which both backends call, with the file modes and the check for a running instance done each platform's way. `RunError::Window` reports a window Windows refused. `make windows-deps` and `make windows-check` typecheck the backend from Debian, compiling std from `rust-src`. `docs/windows.md` describes building, what ships beside the executable and what the backend does.
ltk::dirs. `home`, `data_home`, `config_home`, `cache_home` and `state_home`: XDG's on Linux, with their usual fallbacks under the home folder, and on Windows `USERPROFILE`, `APPDATA` for data and settings and `LOCALAPPDATA` for the cache and state, an `XDG_*` variable that is set winning everywhere. An app finds its files there instead of reading `HOME` and the XDG variables itself, which on Windows are unset; ltk's own lookups of themes, keyboard layouts, MIME globs, the file chooser's folders and the session state now go through it, and `state_dir` takes the base it is given, its tests with it.
Docs. The links to `WidgetId` in the crate's, `types`' and `App`'s documentation name the struct, since the `const fn` of the same name made them ambiguous to rustdoc. `README.md` names the other backends and `CHANGELOG.md` records the Windows backend and `ltk::dirs`.
Not done. The print dialog has no CHANGELOG entry nor a page in `docs/widgets.md`. Under the portal there is no preview, since the portal's dialog gets the document only at the end. The desktop card's settings column does not scroll, so with a list open in a low window it may not fit. Tests cover the page ranges and the translation to GTK's keys, not the dialog, CUPS or the portal. On Windows there are no overlays, secondary surfaces or subsurfaces, no preedit for the input method and no accessibility.

A text field that serves as an editor, a file chooser, ltk::files with callbacks, Text::fit, App::window_title, and a stack that keeps its children inside it

A multiline text field was a box for a few lines: it wrapped its whole value by shaping each character alone on every frame, every click and every caret motion, so a file of some size made it crawl; it drew a tab as the font's glyph for it, had no scroll bar, no page keys and no way to number its lines, kept no record of the view it showed, so once the cursor had left the first screen it stayed on the last row and the arrows moved the text, and an app could neither colour its text, type a tab with Tab, give it a face of its own, ask it to copy, cut, paste or select, nor hear where its cursor was. Notes, the Eydos text editor, needs all of it, and every app that opens or saves the user's files needed a dialog of its own.
Speed. `Canvas::measure_char` measures a character's advance once per font and size and keeps it (`text_shaping::char_advance_cached`, emptied with the shaped lines), and `compute_visual_lines` keeps the last four layouts by the value's hash and length, the row width, the size and the face, so a value is wrapped again only when one of them changes, and drawing, hit testing and caret motion over the same value wrap it once.
The view. `TextEdit::draw` returns the view it showed, which the frame keeps in `text_scroll`, so the view moves only when the cursor leaves it, and by the least; a `TextCommand::Select` no longer resets it. `Window::shown` gives the lines as the last frame showed them, wherever the cursor went since, and a press, the wheel, the scroll bar and the page keys act on them: a press that gave a field the focus, which puts its cursor at the end, landed where the view would have gone to show that cursor, near the end of the text, instead of on the character pressed. The cursor a scroll keeps is taken back to the value's length as the view's is, so a scroll made with the cursor at its end sentinel holds instead of going back to the cursor at once.
Tabs. In a multiline field a tab reaches the next stop, every four digits' widths, as four monospace columns are (`theme::TAB_COLUMNS`, `text_edit/tabs.rs`), when it is drawn, selected, clicked and crossed with the arrows. `TextEdit::tab_text( text )` has Tab type `text` while the field has the focus instead of moving the focus on; Shift+Tab still moves it back and Ctrl+Tab still reaches the app.
The scroll bar. A field whose lines do not all fit shows a scroll bar along its right edge (`Window::scrollbar`): its thumb is held and dragged, or a press on its track brings the thumb there, by pointer or touch, without moving the cursor (`AppData::text_scrollbar_grab`, `handle_text_scrollbar_press`, `handle_text_scrollbar_drag`); the pointer over it is the arrow rather than the text cursor, and a long press that holds it no longer opens the Copy / Cut / Paste menu.
Page Up and Page Down move the cursor of a multiline field by the lines on screen but one, at the same height on screen, and the view with it, to the start or the end from the first or the last page (`cursor_visual_page`, `handle_cursor_page`); Shift extends the selection, and with Ctrl, or in any other widget, the keys still reach the app. A key without Ctrl that types no text, such as F3, was dropped while a text field had the focus; it now goes to `App::on_key_with_modifiers`, as it does with no field focused.
The text as an editor's. `TextEdit::highlights( Arc<Vec<TextHighlight>> )` draws runs of a multiline value, byte ranges in order, in colours of their own, what no run covers in the field's colour and a run off a character boundary left out. `TextEdit::font( face )` lays a multiline field's text out in a face of its own at the field's size: wrapping, drawing, the selection, the cursor, clicks, tab stops and the arrows all measure through one `TextFont`, the size and the face, which `text_input_geometry` now gives the runtime's paths where it gave them the size; `Canvas::measure_char_with_font` is `measure_char` in another face. `ltk::monospace_font()` finds a monospace face, DejaVu Sans Mono from the app's resources, which a page and an APK carry, else the first of the system's installed, loaded once. `TextEdit::line_numbers( true )` numbers the lines in a column at the field's left, in the monospace face when there is one, as wide as the number of the last line needs, a wrapped line numbered on its first row and the cursor's in the text colour while the field has the focus; the text starts right of the column alike when drawn and in every runtime path, since they all lay it out in the rect `gutter::text_rect` gives. `borderless()` now also drops a multiline field's background and border.
Talking to the field. `App::take_text_command` hands a field, by its `WidgetId`, a `TextCommand` after the next frame: `Copy`, `Cut`, `Paste` and `SelectAll` through the paths the keys take, and `Select { start, end }`, which focuses the field, selects the range with its ends taken back to the value and to its characters' starts, and scrolls to it. `Reveal { start, end }` does the same without moving the focus, as a search does while its own field keeps the keys, and a multiline field without the focus now shows its selection dimmed (`theme::selection_inactive`). `TextEdit::on_cursor( |at| … )` sends the cursor's byte offset once it is placed and whenever it moves or the value changes length (`report_text_cursors`, after every frame), as an editor's status bar showing the line needs.
A file chooser. `ltk::FileChooser` (`src/file_chooser/`) picks a file to open or a folder and a name to save one as, over `ltk::files`, alike natively and in a browser. The app holds it, puts its `view()` in its own and hands its `FileChooserMsg`s to `update()`, which returns `Chosen::Path` or `Chosen::Cancelled` once the user chose; `wrap` makes the app's message of the chooser's, so its listings reach it through the app's `ChannelSender`. It offers the home folder, the xdg-user-dirs folders that exist, the root and the folders mounted in a browser, with a press there to mount another; it lists folders first, the hidden entries left out, each with its type's icon, a file with its size and the date of its last access or change, sorted as Crate sorts, by name, last access or size, each key in a direction of its own (`Sort`, `SortKey`, `Directions`). `dir` starts elsewhere, `filter( &[ "text/*" ] )` shows only some types of files, `compact( true )` puts the places behind a button for a phone, `sort` starts in an order kept from `current_sort`, and `take_focus_request` gives the field to focus. Saving asks before replacing a file and can create a folder; its errors are in the user's words, and its strings in ltk's seven locales. `files::mounts()` gives the folders mounted in a browser as the desktop last said, which the web backend now keeps. `docs/widgets.md` describes it and `examples/file_chooser.rs` shows it, in `make examples`.
ltk::files::callback. The operations of `ltk::files` with a function in place of a message (`list`, `stat`, `read`, `read_range`, `write`, `create_dir`, `rename`, `remove`, `remove_all`, `copy`, `copy_all`, `mount` and `unmount`), for code with no run loop's `ChannelSender` to take one, such as Prompt's session daemon, which in a browser runs in the page beside the window. `done` is called on ltk's worker thread natively and on the page's thread in a browser.
Closing. An app that keeps its window open in `on_close_requested`, to ask whether to save, was not drawn again, so its question appeared only at the next event, such as a press. Every close request, from the compositor, the title bar's close button, back and the browser, now goes through `AppData::request_close`, which draws the view again when the app refused it.
`App::window_title`. The main window's title, read when the window is made, which the title bar, the task switcher and the dock show; by default the `app_id`. A `ShellMode::Window` app was titled "ltk" on Wayland, whatever the app, with no way to name it but the deprecated `window_config`; in a browser its title was its `app_id`, and is now this.
`Text::fit` and `Text::valign`. `fit()` draws a text at the largest size up to its own at which it fits the rect the layout gives it, on one line within its width and height or, with `wrap`, all its lines within its height, so a text whose length varies, such as a calculator's display, neither overflows a box the window sizes nor needs its size worked out from the window and its content; its preferred size is still the one at its own size. `valign( VAlign )` places the lines at the top, the centre or the bottom of the rect.
A stack keeps its children inside it. A child that `Stack` aligned to an edge or the centre took its preferred size even when that was larger than the stack, so one aligned to the bottom started above the stack's top and one aligned to the right left of its left edge, drawn over whatever was there. Each child's preferred size is now capped by the stack's, less its margin, before it is aligned; children placed with `push_placed` and the offsets of `push_translated` are as they were.
Tests cover Tab with and without `tab_text`, the text commands, `Reveal` leaving the focus alone, a highlight into a character, `on_cursor` reporting once, a refused close drawing again, a key that types nothing reaching the app from a field, tab stops, a click on a tab, the kept layouts, the scroll bar, a view kept while the cursor moves inside it and after a scroll with the cursor at its sentinel, a click landing on the view shown, the page keys, the width of the line numbers, the file chooser's listing, filters, names, user folders, sizes, sorting and its open, save and replace flows, `Text::fit` and a stack's aligned children. `CHANGELOG.md` and `docs/widgets.md` describe the changes.
