History / Scripting the shell

Revisions

  • Fonts fetched when text needs them; what a realm makes when; the instruments; the scores of today

  • Bookmarks and their bar

    @codingncaffeine codingncaffeine committed Sep 20, 2026

  • Pointing in the painter's order, the viewport's reach, the document base URL, pushState reaching the shell, the traversal interfaces; the scripted score

  • A window that changes size: one tab laid out once a frame; what a turn of the loop cost

    @codingncaffeine codingncaffeine committed Sep 19, 2026
  • about:themes: themes are found and put on inside the window

    @codingncaffeine codingncaffeine committed Sep 19, 2026
  • Pinned tabs; a theme downloaded in the window is converted and put on at once

    @codingncaffeine codingncaffeine committed Sep 19, 2026
  • Tabs: a closed tab comes back, a tab is copied, links open behind and beside their opener

    @codingncaffeine codingncaffeine committed Sep 19, 2026
  • The shell: what it has to say floats over the page's corner; no status bar is kept

    @codingncaffeine codingncaffeine committed Sep 19, 2026
  • Testing: planted-fault controls kept beside their scripts and the runner that plants them; the verbs that read pixels; the chrome under many themes on one sheet

    @codingncaffeine codingncaffeine committed Sep 19, 2026
  • Themes: Firefox's and Chrome's, converted from an .xpi, a .crx or a folder dropped into the profile; three more tokens; --import-theme and the import-theme verb

  • Themes: pictures over the frame, the toolbar and the tabs, colors that composite over them, and the frame of a window that is not in front; two script verbs Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

  • The shell's menus: what a right click offers on a link, a picture, a selection, a field, a tab and the address bar, the main menu, the keys that work them, the popup tokens a theme may name or leave to derive, and the script verbs that drive them

  • Running Sashfold, scripting the shell, the Sashfold 100: the instruments — a run timed whole, the window measured without a display, the counters a script can assert, and where the seconds go

  • The Linux window: the display's scale, touch, the input method, the shell's own frame

  • Organize the wiki: a Home index by category, the pages that carry the details, and the C++ rationale under Design decisions Home is an index in five categories — getting started, what works today, measured, design decisions, testing and tools — with a sidebar on every page. The details that lived in the README's paragraphs move into pages of their own (Building, Running Sashfold, Themes, Parsing, Styling, Layout, Painting and text, Networking, The shell, Not written yet, Measurements, The Sashfold 100, The Pledge, Security defaults, Testing, Scripting the shell), each with headings, lists and tables. The C++ rationale becomes the Why C++ page under Design decisions, its five points kept and its prose tightened.
