Steps to reproduce:

• build boomer with nimble build -d:select
• run boomer: ./boomer
• select a window with single left click

Result:

• the whole screen becomes grey with a black rectangle the size of the selected window in the center

Command output:

Using config: (scrollSpeed: 1.0, dragFriction: 6.0, scaleFriction: 4.0)
Screen rate: 60

I'm pretty sure we can avoid that if we make independent from
the size of the window as it was in the beginning. (I simply did
not expect this use case back then Kappa)

The inertia should have a motion blur to give a perception of moving fast

As every proper UNIX program, boomer should have man page explaining it's functionality and providing examples.

Currently:

$ man boomer
No manual entry for boomer

Expected:

$ man boomer
<boomer man page opens up>

Would be nice to have color correction to fix videos like this https://youtu.be/FquVty-Ghpg?t=611
Also perspective correction could be nice. And since most of the use cases involve displaying text you might try doing some image to text with CV memes. Or deep neural memes to automate color/perspective correction. 🤔 🤔 🤔

I have Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon.
Cinnamon Version 4.0.10 (no idea if that's important).
Linux Kernel 4.15.0-70-generic (also no idea if that's important).

I didn't have nim installed so i just sudo apt-get install nim and then followed the readme.md:

$ git clone git://github.com/tsoding/boomer.git ~/boomer/
$ cd ~/boomer
$ nimble build -d:release

And I get this error:

Warning: Package 'boomer' has an incorrect structure. The top level of the package source directory should contain at most one module, named 'boomer.nim', but a file named 'navigation.nim' was found. This will be an error in the future.
Hint: If this is the primary source file in the package, rename it to 'boomer.nim'. If it's a source file required by the main module, or if it is one of several modules exposed by 'boomer', then move it into a 'boomerpkg/' subdirectory. If it's a test file or otherwise not required to build the the package 'boomer.nim', prevent its installation by adding `skipFiles = @["navigation.nim"]` to the .nimble file. See https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#libraries for more info.

    Error: Unsatisfied dependency: nim (>= 0.18.0)

What do I do? When I do nim -h I get Nim Compiler Version 0.17.2 (2018-02-05) [Linux: amd64] (etc...). Shouldn't apt-get install give me the latest version? 🤔

Just an idea. Maybe we could move it around with joystick also, just like when pressing down mouse button, moving mouse and releasing button.

Since when moving boomered area you are limited to translation in x/y axis + z (zooming) you can fake intermediate frames, when FPS drops low - similar to frame interpolation but instead you will get extra frames by moving the image in 3D space 🤔

Steps to reproduce

1. Compile boomer with nimble build -d:live -d:mitshm -d:select -d:windowed. -d:mitshm is optional. A similar problem occurs without it.
2. Select a window to track
3. Move the tracked window outside of the screen

Observed

The application crashed with

Visual 320 selected
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  130 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  4 (X_ShmGetImage)
  Serial number of failed request:  962
  Current serial number in output stream:  962

in case of no -d:mitshm

Visual 320 selected
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  73 (X_GetImage)
  Serial number of failed request:  684
  Current serial number in output stream:  684

Expected

The application does not crash keeps displaying the tracked window.

We rely on scrolling being reported as pressing mouse buttons 3
and 4. May not work on other platforms.

Would lead to different motion on high refresh rate monitors.

I guess you can set it manually, but it should be queried from system by default.

Probably related to #21

What are the keys we can use and what does each do?

Also I want to change some settings because its zooming too fast for my liking, and I know I should have a config file in ~/.config/boomer/ but I don't know what settings I can change and what the format of the file should be.

Why not just allow the user to modify the underlying fragment and vertex shaders?

Stuttering while zooming can cause autism epilepsy 🤔

I didn't expect rofi (app launcher) to be part of the screenshot:

I tried making a config and it had an empty line in it. When I ran boomer i got

fatal.nim(39)            sysFatal
Error: unhandled exception: index 1 not in 0 .. 0 [IndexError]

Then I removed the empty line, and it worked as expected.

Investigate further no how it handles animations and stuff.

Dragging fills a little bit stiff. Let's try to add some inertia
with easing out.
