Put some final touches to Toad's permission request screen.

When the agent has an update, it pops this screen up. You can review the diffs in unified or split view, then decide if you want to accept or reject the changes.

Watch this space!

I've been working on a new fuzzy search file picker for Toad (my terminal AI interface).

It is similar to the other terminal based agentic coding tools, but I want to address a few UX issues, and hopefully make it prettier in the process!

I don't see many people customizing Rich tables. And it saddens me!

Textual inherited its markup from Rich, and suffers from the same gotcha.

Consider this:

f"Hello [b]{name}[/b]"

If 'name' contains markup tags like [blink], then they will be treated like tags.

Textual's new Content markup fixes this.

Did you know you can play a "game" on the Textualize website??

I do believe I nailed text selection in Textual.

Coming to the next version...

Some widgets are a special case when it comes to text selection.

The Digits widget displays a number with box characters. You can select digits as a whole, and when you copy them you get a readable string, and not a jumble of funny characters.

Arbitrary text selection is working in Textual.

This was an *ordeal* to get working. A few more gray hairs in my beard from this PR.

Text selection with the demo app.

Some breakages in rendering, which I know the cause of.

Also implemented double click and triple click to select, on top of click and drag.

#Textual #Python

Selecting arbitrary text is a surprisingly gnarly problem.

Here it is working in Textual with the simple case of two vertical stacked widgets.

Is there anything in #Textual that makes you think "how the duck did they do that?"

I'm finally writing that blog post about the magic behind Textual, and I'm taking requests...
