You want > to warp to *, do I understand that correctly? My first reaction here is that this seems rather odd, but hey, everyone has their own workflows, I suppose.

Even if we considered adding this (and I'm not yet saying yes), do you have a more formalized proposal on how this would work? It likely has to be mutually exclusive with torus mode at least, but there's all kinds of question marks here. For example, where does this go?

I'd like to warp from > to * etc. It would be in effect a diagonal mouse move instead of the current up then over.

OK, so the difference to what I wrote would be that the left hand border only maps to the "exposed" part of the other output's bottom border, ie

Correct? What about my other questions? I think this feature is significant complexity so we'll need a much better definition of it and a set of test cases to discuss.

For example, there's also

|                                       |

|                                       |
|                                       |
+-----?-----+-------------+-------------+
            |             |
            |<     B      |
            |             |
+-----?-----+-------------+-------------+
|                                       |
|                                       |
|                   C                   |
|                                       |
|                                       |
|                                       |
+---------------------------------------+

I can probably think of a bunch of additional situations that require clarification, plus we need a more formalized definition of what the feature is intended to do — ideally an algorithmic description to test cases against. I'm happy to supply test cases if you provide that.

not exactly sure what you need but in my mind the height B and widths of A1 and A3 are relevant.

warps along the B2/A2 boundary would not be adjusted at all.
a warp starting at N% up B1 would result in an exit 100-N% along (left to right) of A1
a warp starting at N% up B3 would result in an exit 100-N% along (left to right) of A3

However handling different screen orientations, i am sorry I don't have any answers for that.

Airblader commented on June 30, 2024

I unfortunately don't have obvious good answers either. So if it's not clear how to design this feature and there's no one to drive doing so, I'll have to reject it. I hope you understand.
