Implements the suggestion from https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/issues/399#issuecomment-747861013
Thanks to the refactors from 0bd5c8fb5da and 6393baa74e5, this was really easy
and clean to do.
It maintains the "Tree view always by PID" option in the Settings, which
results in some specific behaviors such as "clicking on the column header to
exit tree view" and "picking a new sort order to exit tree view", for the sake
of the muscle memory of long time htop users. :)
Numbering from one is idiosyncratic and inconsistent with basically
everything else in the world; it doesn't make much sense as default
behavior.
All naming is updated to reflect that numbering from one is a
non-default, opt-in option. The old label of the flag saved in htoprc
("cpu_count_from_zero") is still supported for backwards compatibility
with existing configs, however.
Reasoning:
- implementation was unsound -- broke down when I added a fairly
basic macro definition expanding to a struct initializer in a *.c
file.
- made it way too easy (e.g. via otherwise totally innocuous git
commands) to end up with timestamps such that it always ran
MakeHeader.py but never used its output, leading to overbuild noise
when running what should be a null 'make'.
- but mostly: it's just an awkward way of dealing with C code.
This commit adds a "vim_mode" setting (false/`0` by default) that causes
keys to be remapped in the following way by the `ScreenManager`:
+ h -> LEFT
+ j -> DOWN
+ k -> UP
+ l -> RIGHT
+ LEFT -> h (toggle help)
+ DOWN -> j (noop)
+ UP -> k (open kill menu)
+ RIGHT -> l (lsof current process)
+ K (Shift+K) -> k (open kill menu)
+ J (Shift+J) -> K (toggle show/hide kernel threads)
+ L (Shift+L) -> l (lsof current process)
I couldn't figure out where the manpage documentation is in the repo,
though I admittedly did not look particularly hard.
I believe this change would be a welcome option for heavy vim users like myself
who would like a familiar way to get around in htop.
The option is only implemented on Linux. On other platforms, and on Linuxes
that do not expose the relevant sysfs file, the frequency will be 0.
The "CPU average" meter does not show a frequency, only
the individual per-CPU meters.
Add a setting to hide all but the last component from the programme
path, leaving only the "basename". Makes htop more usable on smaller
screens, or systems with longer than average paths. Off by default.
"Highlight program basename" will still be respected, to further
visually separate process names from their arguments.
* Performance improvements
* Support for splitting CPU meters into two or four columns
(thanks to Wim Heirman)
* Switch from PLPA, which is now deprecated, to HWLOC.
* Bring back support for native Linux sched_setaffinity,
so we don't have to use HWLOC where we don't need to.
* Support for typing in user names and column fields in selection panels.
