This is a small program I made to learn how to multitask. It allows you to split the shell into two horizontally or vertically.


You can not jet close a splited window, simply rebooting (ctrl-r) will fix it.

Download: pastebin get 7pF6tpZ3 split
Usage: split [horizontal/vertical] [program name]
you can also use 1 instead of horizontal and 2 instead of vertical

also, i got a funny imgur id: https://imgur.com/a/bru0S

The screenshot looks good - reminds me a little bit of i3 (or Emacs's buffers).

It appears the OP is missing a download link - just wondering where one may find the source, I couldn't see it on GitHub either.

Its just you being a quicky, and me being someone who always edits the post like four times.

Sorry! One minor improvement I'd suggest is passing the event to both processes except in a couple of cases (key, key_up, paste, char, terminate, mouse events). This way timers and modem messages will still be processed, but user interaction will not. I see you currently whitelist timers, but it'd probably be better to blacklist the above events instead.

I'd also suggest using table.pack(os.pullEventRaw()) and table.unpack(event, 1, event.n) instead, as these are a little bit more fool-proof when it comes to nil values in events.

I give timer events to all programs, but i didn't thought about the other events the user does not generate.

The code is really crappy, I just wanted to finish it after the frustrating progress of learning how to use coroutines in cc.

If a coroutine/program is quit/closed the program will exit instead of freeze.

Oh I really start to love this program:

Fun idea: play worm in such a small window.

Should I avoid {os.pullEventRaw()} then?

Yep! This PR which fixed CC's behaviour explains the rationale behind it, as well as providing some neat examples of how you should handle it.

This is extremely cool and definitely something that fills the gap of a window manager in CC!
I have one little issue and that has to deal with the cursor, here's an example: https://i.crzd.me/9K7aS4qR.mp4

It seems like the cursor gets stuck at (0, 0), and if i close split it goes back to normal.

Thanks! I didn't expect this to turn out so well, like I said, it is just a program I made to learn coroutines.

I think I know where this comes from; the blinking cursor can only be displayed on one terminal object. So having multiple terminals with term.setCursorBlink(true) only displays one cursor.

I fixed it, now the cursor is at the position the program wants it to be, and the cursor is shown on the program that is selected.

Can I use ShellSplit in my new OS as a primitive window manager?

Its just a program, and you can use it in your OS if you want. There is a new window manager I made here, if you want to take a look at it.

EDIT: I saw you posted there already.
