Mako TUI

A small terminal user interface for editing mako notification daemon configuration files.

This project provides a curses-style TUI (built with crossterm + ratatui) to edit mako-style key/value configuration parameters. It includes a typed model of common mako configuration keys in src/mako_config.rs and a simple list editor in src/main.rs.

Features

• Navigate parameters in a list.
• Edit existing values with inline input and suggested allowed values for known keys.
• Add new keys from a curated list of known mako keys or create a custom key.
• Delete parameters with confirmation.
• Basic file save and reload feedback.

Quickstart

Prerequisites

• Rust (stable) toolchain installed (rustup)

Mako TUI

A small terminal UI to edit mako (notification daemon) configuration key/value pairs.

This crate bundles a simple TUI editor built with crossterm + ratatui. It provides a curated list of common mako options (see src/mako_config.rs), inline editing with allowed-value hints, and a small Config loader/saver used by the UI (src/config.rs).

Features

• ✨ Intuitive TUI: navigate and edit keys/values in a compact list
• 🔎 Known keys: choose from a curated list of common mako options
• 💡 Allowed-value hints: suggested allowed values are shown while editing
• ➕ Add custom keys: pick a known key or create your own
• 🗑️ Safe delete: confirm before removing a parameter
• 💾 Save & reload feedback: quick status shown in the footer

Quick start

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (stable) installed via rustup

Build and run

# run in project root
cargo run --release

On first run the editor seeds the configuration with a couple helpful keys (for example font and background-color).

Controls / Keybindings

• Up / k — move selection up
• Down / j — move selection down
• e / Enter — edit the selected value
• a — add a new key (choose from known keys or create a custom key)
• d — delete the selected key (confirmation prompt)
• q — quit the application

While editing or adding values:

• Enter — save / commit
• Esc — cancel
• Backspace — remove a character

Where to look

• src/main.rs — TUI layout, input handling, main loop
• src/mako_config.rs — typed mako config model, known_keys() and allowed_values() helpers
• src/config.rs — load/save logic for the key/value store used by the UI
