I am not sure if this point should be tackled here. ## Multiple / complex actions For one key/command, we may want to perform multiple actions. We should ask the undo manager to start a "transaction" before first action and commit it after the last action. Should we do something specific with the kill ring ? We should refresh / repaint only when all actions are performed (or if ask explicitly?) depending on cumulated action impacts. ... ## Misc ```rust /// Command / action result #[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Copy)] #[non_exhaustive] pub enum ActionResult { // Interrupt / reject user input // => Err should be fine //Bail, /// Continue, /// Accept user input (except if `Validator` disagrees) Return, } ``` ```rust bitflags::bitflags! { #[doc = "Action invocation impacts"] pub struct Impacts: u8 { const PUSH_CHAR = 0b0000_0001; const BEEP = 0b0000_0010; const MOVE_CURSOR = 0b0000_0100; // State::move_cursor const REFRESH = 0b0000_1000; // State::refresh_line const CLEAR_SREEN = 0b0001_0000; // State::clear_screen } } ```
