update interaction states for the prev/next source arrows in prompt area about nyxt HOT 13 OPEN

Good proposal! I'd suggest that the hovering effect on the prompt buffer source bar (where the arrow buttons are located) should match the behavior of the status buffer.

Maybe the icons should match the styling too - what about rotated versions of the arrows on the status buffer?

De-assigning myself: I moved back to libs.

I'm not working on this and won't do it in the future. My comment above was simply a wild suggestion.

Yee haw 🐎 🌵 🤠

This Issue is really about matching style changes with state changes.

Lets not make status buffer / quick-start changes at the moment

@hgluka Let's see if Luka can get it done.

@aadcg good ideas

experimentation required.
Here are my thoughts up front. Ill try to post some mockups in a while.

...hovering effect on the prompt buffer source bar (where the arrow buttons are located) should match the behavior of the status buffer.

Hhmm, yeah principally I think this is a good idea. The difference is that the prompt source bar arrows should be infrequently used compared to the buttons in the status-buffer-bar. Maybe it is better if they are not grouped together, to show that they are not precisely related to the same tasks.

I want the arrows to flicker a tiny amount as people use the keyboard controls to paginate sources (to show what they do, and communicate position in the stack of suggestions).

Sooo.... for the arrows; matching the background highlighting behavior from the status-buffer-bar on a hover state, seems sensible. But when users are just paginating around the sources, we don't want the arrow backgrounds lighting up like a rave.

Maybe the icons should match the styling too - what about rotated versions of the arrows on the status buffer?

I'll try it and report back.

@lansingthomas what if we used rotated versions of ^ (the SVG you propose in your post above) everywhere: status buffer for history-backwards/forwards, quick-start and in the context of this issue?

Here are some images for that @aadcg

Then the Quick start would look like:

generally
I do NOT think they need to match in all three places

specifically
I like the open triangle for:

• quick-start
• source pagination

I like the closed triangle for status bar history-forwards/backwards

I also notice that there is a color issue with the background of the quick-start panel #eeeeee → #ededed

@aadcg lets talk 1-1 man! I haven't caught you in a while, and we can make this easy decision about the icons together. (moving to email for scheduling)

Sure, can't argue with that!

Describe your proposed change:
Three things:

• change the arrows to the ones above
• Mute the color of the arrows when next-source or previous-source is not available. (top of list, bottom of list,...)
• Update the hover text for each → Next source (Shift-down) Previous source (Shift-up)
