menuconfig: Never snap scroll back to max_scroll

2018-11-18T17:58:16Z

When scroll > max_scroll (blank space at the bottom of the menu, and also scrolled down), moving the cursor down would snap the scroll back to max_scroll, with a small annoying jump. This could happen when going into show-all mode and moving the cursor down near the bottom of a menu, for example. Fix it by leaving the scroll as-is when scroll >= max_scroll (increasing it by one otherwise).

menuconfig: Tighten up _shown_nodes() a bit

2018-11-18T17:58:16Z

Move the addition of the visible child nodes and use += instead of extend().

menuconfig: Get rid of a temporary list in the jump-to implemenation

2018-11-18T17:58:16Z

Not noticeable performance-wise, but a bit neater.

menuconfig: Support HOME and END in the jump-to dialog

2018-11-07T05:48:29Z

Oversight. END can be handy for viewing all choices, menus, and comments, which appear at the end. Also support Ctrl-D as an alias for Page Down. Ctrl-U is already used by the edit box (erase to beginning of line). Also change the jump-to dialog title to hint that other things besides symbols can be jumped to.

Comment grammar nit

menuconfig: Move cursor to choice selection when entering choices

2018-11-03T23:33:43Z

Previously, the first entry was selected, like for menus. Also tweak _center_vertically() so that the menu is never scrolled down when all entries fit on the screen.

menuconfig: Fix crash when toggling symbols without a type

2018-11-02T02:53:02Z

Trying to toggle the following symbol crashed the menuconfig: config FOO prompt "foo" Symbols defined without a type are pointless and generate a warning (particular definition locations can omit the type, but some definition location should give a type if the symbol is defined in multiple locations). We should never crash for them though. Fix the crash. The code assumed that the symbol's current value would appear in Symbol.assignable, like for a visible bool/tristate, but symbols without types get their name as their value. Also skip printing "(NEW)" next to symbols without a type.

menuconfig: Add quotes around filename for .config loading errors

2018-11-01T00:02:32Z

Turns into a weird-looking 'Error loading ' otherwise. Maybe Enter should be ignored for empty filenames instead...

Make errno/strerror/filename available on IOError

2018-10-30T23:02:43Z

An error reporting flaw was that most raised IOErrors got their errno/strerror/filename fields stripped, due to wanting to show a custom messages. The problem was that adding back 'errno' and 'strerror' made IOError.__str__() always return a fixed string ("[Errno ] "), ignoring any custom message. This is friendly to users, but unfriendly to scripts (the menuconfig had a workaround). Make things friendly to both by raising an internal subclass of IOError instead, that preserves errno/strerror/filename but prints a custom message. The exception can then still be caught as IOError/OSError by scripts.

menuconfig: Mention jump-to in info dialog help

2018-10-22T20:42:36Z

Might be hard to discover that [/] works inside the info dialog otherwise.
