# Hoptex

If you are Vim user you heard about [EasyMotion](https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion) and [Hop](https://github.com/phaazon/hop.nvim). This library is exactly this concept but for [Textual](https://github.com/Textualize/textual)!
Just type your shortcut and focus/press widget you want. No mouse needed!

> Please always pin version of this library as API may change rapidly. It is experimental project and some staff may be modified.

## Installation

Just simply install via `pip`:

```bash
pip3 install hoptex
```

## Documentation

**Hoptex** allow to focus object and additionaly press it.
By default:

- `space` will highlight `focusable` widgets and allow to focus choosen one
- `ctrl+o` will focus and press widgets that are `focusable` and have `on_click` or `_on_click` method.

### Usage

The most basic usage is just adding decorator on your **Textual** app like this:

```python
from textual.app import App
from hoptex import hoptex

@hoptex()
class NewTextualApp(App):
...
```

That is all. Super easy, right?

### Allow and Block list

To choose which widgets will be highlighted **Hoptex** checks for three condition:

- Widget have property `focusable=True`.
- Widget is in allow list (then will be forced to be highlighted)
- Widget is in blocked list (it have priority to exclude widget over allow list)

This parameters can be changed in `@hoptex` parameter `filter_lists` using `HoptexFilterWidgetsConfig`.
By default `allow_list` and `block_list` are empty and `include_focusable=True`.
Example can be like this:

```python
from textual.demo import DemoApp, LocationLink # Tested on Texutal 0.30.0 Demo App
from textual.widgets import TextLog
from hoptex import hoptex
from hoptex.configs import HoptexWidgetsFiltersConfig

widgets_filters = HoptexWidgetsFiltersConfig(allow_list=[LocationLink], block_list=[TextLog])

@hoptex(widgets_filters=widgets_filters)
class WrappedDemoApp(DemoApp):
...

```

### Custom bindings

If you do not like default bindings you can change them with `HoptexBindingConfig`.
It has four fields, which you can replace with keybinding like in **Textual**:

- `focus`, default to `space` -> Run **Hoptex** screen to focus widget
- `press`, default to `ctrl+p` -> Run **Hoptex** screen to focus and press/click widget
- `quit`, default to `escape` -> Quits from **Hoptex** screen
- `unfocus`, default to `escape` -> Unfocuses from any widgets (if you are in e.x. text window, you need first to unfocus to use `space`)

and also four config fields, that takes dictionary that will be injected in standard Binding field:

- `focus_conf`, default to `{"description": "Hop Focus"}`
- `press_conf`, default to `{"description": "Hop Press"}`
- `quit_conf`, default to `{"description": "Hop Quit", "show": False}`
- `unfocus_conf`, default to `{"description": "Hop Unfocus", "show": False}`

```python

from textual.demo import DemoApp

from hoptex import hoptex
from hoptex.configs import HoptexBindingConfig

bindings = HoptexBindingConfig(press="ctrl+g", press_conf={"description": "Another description"})

@hoptex(bindings=bindings)
class DemoAppMy(DemoApp):
...

```

### Custom Appearance

You can also inject custom label appearance, by `label` value. It should inherit from `Static`
and allow for one argument (the letter that will be displayed).
However easier way is to change CSS of `HopLabel`, which default is to:

```css
HopLabel {
width: 1;
height: 1;
color: yellow;
text-style: bold;
background: black;
}
```

## TODO

- Support more widgets on screen
- Allow to use hoptex as wrapper for application (open any app with hoptex support)
- If no place to jump, return
- Color change
- list of characters
- custom Widget to mark
