[REQUEST] Redraw Options (Key Shortcut, Disable, Enable)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would love to have populated graphs directly after "startup". Since this would require some kind of daemon (that is kind of "over the top"), I tried to send bpytop to the background using dtach. It's working for the graphs that are redrawn, but not for the decorations.
Describe the solution you'd like I have two ideas regarding this:
- It would be awesome to have a key to redraw the decorations - or simply the complete ui. Since this is already done after a window resize, it's only the link to a key press that is missing ;)
- It would be even more awesome to have a way to disable redrawing and enable it again if needed to reduce cpu load while it's in the background. Could be a key press or a signal (
kill -USR1) - personally I would prefer a signal.
Describe alternatives you've considered Currently I simply resize my terminal emulator to get a redraw done. Works perfectly fine!
Additional context
Layout after re-attaching:
I could change it so the data collection thread keeps going when catching SIGTSTP, that way you could CTRL-Z out, the data collection keeps going in background, then when brought back with fg it refreshes the graphs.
For now you could toggle "Mini" mode back and forth with "M" (shift+m), which refreshes the screen on each toggle.

Good idea! But bg/fg would not work on remote machines after exiting the ssh session, but as I could manually send that signal to the thread and SIGCONT it again, that would totally suit my needs!

Absolutely! 🚀

My bad, should be lower case "m"...
