Currently using mp.input while the console is open doesn't do anything.
We can allow using mp.input multiple times in a row by keeping the
console open, and sending a closed event only when the previous calling
script is different from the current one. If it is the same, sending a
closed event would unregister the new input-event listener, so it is
just never sent in this case as there is no sane way to do it. This is
useful e.g. to try out select script bindings in the console, or to
switch to a different mp.input script binding with a key binding without
having to close the current one.
Calling input.select() again within input.select()'s submit handler
needs to be fixed separately because with select the console is
immediately closed on submit (367a6b561a), so input.lua receives submit,
requests a new selection, and receives closed wich unregisters the
handler of the new selection. Just not calling
mp.unregister_script_message("input-event") fixes it; its only purpose
was to allow garbage collection of variables defined in the scope using
mp.input.
Fixes#15795.
Pass everything in the tables passed by mp.input callers to console.lua
so new flags can be added without modifying these clients.
In Lua, callbacks have to be excluded from the argument tables to not
make utils.format_json() error, while with JSON.stringify they are
automatically omitted.
I misunderstood CogentRedTester's review in
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/10282#discussion_r1428972352 as
referring to the cursor_position in mp.input's arguments instead of the
one received by the closed callback.
The cursor_position passed to input.get doesn't need to be converted to
a number because it was already JSON, while the cursor_position received
by the closed callback is currently a string, and we need to pass JSON
in input-event script messages to keep it as an integer to work around
mpv converting integer script message arguments to string.
This is more noticeable after implementing mp.input.select(): its submit
argument currently receives the selected index as a string, and this
makes Lua error if you use it as an index of a numerical table, e.g.:
submit = function (id)
mp.set_property(property, tracks[tonumber(id)].selected and "no"
or tracks[tonumber(id)].id)
...
end,
This commit avoids having to call tonumber(id).
This allows scripts to make the user choose from a list of entries by
typing part of their text and/or by navigating them with keybindings,
like dmenu or fzf.
Closes#13964.
When running the console in the terminal, style log lines with the same
escape sequences as msg.c.
mp.input can also specify terminal escape sequences, e.g. a script to
select a playlist entry can invert the color of the selection.
Also add a missing newline to help's error message.
