Terminal drag and drop
Implement drag&drop from system "Colors" panel:
- [ ] to change terminal background
- [ ] to change text color
- [ ] to change cursor color
I believe in addition the NeXT terminal also allowed you to e.g. drag&drop on the selected text, not sure about selection foreground, or fonts from font panel.
@ratmice, i'm not sure I understand you correctly. Do you mean drag and drop of font from font panel? JFYI, OPENSTEP has no object in font panel that can be dragged.
@ratmice, You can set font for focused Terminal window with Font Panel without changing app preferences. It's already implemented. As for cursor color, the answer is: yes and it's planned in this task (see this issue's top post).
So, do you understand what I mean by changing the color of selected text? When you highlight some text in the terminal with the mouse, such that copying it would copy that text.
There were IIRC 2 cases:
- You have selected some whitespace/non printing character and drop colors onto that. That would change the highlight color, or background color for the selected text.
- You drop a color onto some character, which would change the text color of the selected text.
Perhaps you know these, and they are already lumped into "text color" and "background color" in the planned task.
I've not thought about it that deep so far. :) But we can return to this discussion once I'll start working on this task.
