243 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | MiniMenu: Pressing successive character keys should com... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Imagine this tab content:
Nubs, Pandora Input, PNDstore.
CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
Pressing "P" and "N" is succession jumps to "Nubs" eventually, as it first jumps to the first "P" item ("Pandora Input"), then to the first "N" item, "Nubs".
DESIRED BEHAVIOR:
That it acts like in most Linux file browsers or the Mac OS X Finder.
In detail: Pressing "P" and "N" within a certain time limit should combine them to the string "PN" and jump to the first item which starts with that string, i.e. "PNDStore". If no item matches, reduce the combination string by one character, try to match again, if that doesn't match, try matching again with one character less, ... , until only one character is left, and if that one doesn't match jump to the nearest previous lexicographical character, which matches. |

244 | Application | Feature Request | Low | Include man and the manpages | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
The command line environment of the default OS does not include the command "man" and the respective manpages of the installed programs.
I personally often use manpages, as I hardly remember the syntax/arguments of all programs I use.
Having them would be very convenient!
EVALUATING NEEDED STORAGE AMOUNT
Some may argue that storage space is quite limited on the NAND.
Yes I agree. Hence the number of included programs is limited too. Hence it would not be all too many manpages.
When I press TAB into an empty Terminal prompt, I get 1406 possibilities, which is about the amount of available commands/programs if we ignore aliases, etc.
Multiply that with an average of 20 kb per manpage, and you get about 30 MB in total. With compression this could possibly be brought down to 15-20 MB.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
A) Store into the NAND the manpages of core OS CLI programs only, and not all the library/system/etc documentation.
B) Include only the man command into the core OS, and compile/configure it in such a fashion, that it finds the manpages within non-NAND media (SD card, USB volume, etc).
b1) Specify that it simply looks into a certain path within the /media/*/pandora/ structure.
b2) Or offer PND packages like man-core.pnd, man-extended.pnd,... you get the idea or even man-custom.pnd (which would look into its appdata or a certain path for custom added manpages, to somehow get the b1 approach within the PND approach). |

245 | Core | Feature Request | Low | BugTracker: Submitter shall be able to edit bug after p ... | Closed | |
Task Description
I accidentally posted a "feature request" as a "bug report" within the FlySpray BugTracker.
I wanted to correct my mistake.
It was not possible to edit it.
I assigned the bug to myself.
Then I could edit it.
But now I cannot un-assign it from me.
I merely wanted to suggest a feature but not take development responsibility (yet).
For original submitters, who later realize a mistake in their post, there should be a possibility to correct their mistake.
Please un-assign me from #237 #241 #243 and this one #245. Thanks. |

251 | Core | Feature Request | Low | SD Mass Storage: Possibility to host multiple volumes | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
a) Host multiple volumes at once.
b) Select one for hosting first, later host additional ones. (I guess this scenario is more complicated) |

252 | Core | Feature Request | Low | Power management: If power cable is plugged ignore "Shu... | New | |
Task Description
If the power cable is plugged and the user chooses "Shutdown Pandora" from a menu, there should be a warning that this is without purpose, as the device will automatically restart.
The resulting user choices should be "Cancel shutdown" and "Shutdown nevertheless". |
|
253 | Application | Feature Request | Medium | Switch GUI: Intelligent automatic choice | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
If only 2 GUIs are available, skip the user selection and switch right into the only other GUI. What else would the user want?! Right!
If more than 2, already set the focus in the GUI list to the next possible item. |

288 | Core | Feature Request | Low | add functionality to inputrc | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Since the default inputrc doesn't contain any functionality (simple cli movements like ctrl-left or crtrl-right to skip words don't work) this diff may be useful to add to the cli-experience. I've also been trying to get the delete-key to work, but this is apparently already a known issue (see FS#227). I can remove this from the diff if you want. (I couldn't attach a file to the task somehow)

307 | Core | Feature Request | Medium | Change how Automatic Shutdown works | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When thee Pandora is shutting down because its almost out of power, it should check to make sure that the nub inputs are set to the default mode (which is mouse movement for the left nub and mouse buttons for the right nub). If not, it should change them to be like that. |

327 | Core | Feature Request | Low | Context menu for the XFCE menu | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Right now. the XFCE menu handles right clicks like left clicks. It would be more logical to either not do anything on a right click, or open a context menu that e.g. lets the user generate a link to an application on the desktop. |

12 | Core | To Do (Reminder) | Low | file association for .pnd | New | |
Task Description
Build the xml file and defaults.list so that pnd_run is file-assocated to .pnd |
|
261 | Core | To Do (Reminder) | High | Overview of all current KEYBOARD INPUT related issues | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Built-in keyboard input is a central thing on the Pandora, as it concerns almost all user interfaced apps!
I realized that I myself and also others submitted quite many reports concerning this issue.
Hence this meta issue is intended as an overview/accumulation/aid for those devs who are willing to overwork the whole issue.
If you realize new related issues, feel free to add them here.
If this my effort is contradicting the OpenPandora workflow, then pardon me, and instruct me, how else to handle issues of that kind. Thanks!
