Simplify extended command selection under Qt by allowing the
autocomplete subset be one of the choices for its [filter]. That's
the same subset as X11 uses, where #q is unambiguous for #quit
instead of competing with #quaff and #quiver.
Unlike under X11, the player can use [filter] to switch to the full
command set and get access to a few commands which have no useable
key and aren't flagged to autocomplete. (Mostly obscure wizard mode
commands but #exploremode is in that situation.)
In normal and explore modes, the [filter] button just toggles between
two sets of commands (all normal mode commands vs autocomplete normal
mode commands). In wizard mode there are four choices and you might
need to click on [filter] up to three times to step through to the
target one among four sets (all commands, all normal mode commands,
autocomplete commands for both normal and wizard, full subset of just
the wizard mode commands).
For Qt's pick-an-exetended-command dialog, allow a player to
toggle the grid layout from column-oriented to row-oriented
and vice versa and when in wizard mode to cycle the set of
shown (and typable) commands from 'all' to 'normal mode-only'
to 'wizard mode-only' back to 'all'. The most recent values
are saved by Qt along with tile size, font size, and some other
stuff. The extended command dialog has a Reset button to force
them (the two extended command values) back to their defaults.
The dialog layout has a slight change to conserve screen space
as well as three additional control buttons:
Was Now
| [ Cancel ] | [Cancel] [Filter][Layout][Reset ]
|# |# Grid Title
| Grid title | [cmd 1] [cmd R+1] [cmd 2*R+1] ...
| [cmd 1] [cmd R+1] [cmd 2*R+1] ... | [cmd 2] [cmd R+2]
| [cmd 2] [cmd R+2] |...
|... | [cmd R] [cmd 2*R]
| [cmd R] [cmd 2*R]
'#' is the prompt where typed text gets echoed and 'R' is the
number of rows in the grid and varies by the set of commands
from the current filter. Grid dimensions have been adjusted:
'all' is 13x9, 'normal' is 13x7, and 'wizard' is 7x4 or 4x7
depending on layout orientation.
The wizard mode-only filter setting probably isn't very useful
because you can only type--or click on--commands which are
visible. So when set to wizard mode-only, you can't #quit for
instance. (Via extended command; there are still menu choices
for that particular action. And it's trivial to change filter.)
