Annoying "More/Less" buttons that disrupt the keyboard workflow

Open fbushstone opened this issue 4 years ago • 11 comments

There are some annoying "More/Less" buttons that I have to click on with my mouse- these should be either off by default, removed completely, or have a setting for them to be disabled. 2020-11-25-105451_1920x1200_scrot

Why do you have to click on those buttons?

Why do you have to click on those buttons?

Some rooms are hidden and there is no keyboard shortcut expand the room list. I've tried making a few modifications to the code itself but I haven't had the drive to do anything serious towards disabling them. Anyway, my problem with these buttons is that they don't really make sense in a terminal client. I'm pretty annoyed by Element having them as well. But, what can you do :/

I suppose you know that you can open those rooms with Crtl+k and entering some letters in their name

Yeah. Although, that's not a way to disable the More/Less buttons- it's room expansion with extra steps.

But my question is, do you really need to expand the room list frequently?

jcromero avatar Dec 02 '20 22:12 jcromero

Yes. That's why I created the issue.

Updated question 😉

Oh, thanks. Whenever I start gomuks. But it is still annoying having to expand the roomlist every time.

The issue is that if you have a lot of rooms, classified by tags, I prefer, by default, to be able to see the first 10 rooms in each tag, than miss several tags in the global view if one of them has a lot of rooms. That's why I asked you why do you need to have those tags expanded.

I have this issue too. A good solution would be to be able to use those More/Less buttons from the keyboard (highlight them and use enter or space for example?).

I know it has been some time since this was posted; however, I do have the same issue. My suggestion is that there could be a /toggle option to toggle the more/less buttons, and also that when navigating with the Ctrl+↓ or Ctrl+↑, the room list autoexpanded to see all the rooms, also toggleable maybe. I could help implement this feature, but I want to see if I have support and the PR would be merged.
