The new command inspector is neat! It’s info I didn’t know I wanted.
I saw you were asking for feedback. There are a few things that tripped me up.
The Previous
and Next command
are really visually prominent, but they’re not related to the command on the screen. I mistakenly thought the info on screen was for the Previous command
until I realized it was Command
I was looking at.
Second is that Previous
and Next
look to me like navigation, I don’t know how to navigate with them. Am I supposed to? I looked at the commands at the top of the screen, pressed some keys that I thought would do it, and in the list of shortcuts but found nothing.
Finally, the I think the histograms (exit code dist, runs per day, duration over time) could be more scan-able. With the vertical bars having all different widths which makes is difficult to jump from one box to the next. The horizontal lines on the bars are helpful, but are a little muddled next to all the borders and other numbers. I’m not sure I have a suggestion about how to solve this. One thing that’s helped me solve similar problems in the past is to define dividers more with spacing and less with hard lines.
Thanks for Atuin!
