Summary

  • add header-matched separators after Ranger's first two columns
  • collapse Ranger to current/next columns at 1097 px window width and below
  • keep the final column on the integer remainder so layouts never open a gap
  • keep the empty-current state aligned when the previous column is hidden

Scope

Scrolling was removed from this PR because open PR #16 already owns accelerated pointer scrolling.

Tests

  • ./tests/js.sh — 1,746 checks passed
  • ./tests/js.sh ranger — 5 checks passed
  • ./tools/flea-qmllint-gate — 0 regressions
  • ./tools/flea-file-budget — no hard-cap failures
  • git diff --check

Use direct accelerated wheel handling in List, Columns, and Grid views; add Ranger column separators; and collapse Ranger to current/next columns at 1097px and below.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The UI adds shared fast scrolling for file views and introduces responsive Ranger column sizing at a 1097 px breakpoint. It also adds shared divider styling, IPC rule inspection, documentation, and automated coverage.

Changes

Ranger UI updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared fast scrolling
ui/FastScroll.qml, ui/js/Scroll.js, ui/List.qml, ui/GridArea.qml, ui/ColumnPane.qml, ui/qmldir, tests/js/scroll.js
Wheel and touchpad input now uses Scroll.position, with acceleration, row-based wheel movement, flick cancellation, and bounds clamping across file views.
Responsive Ranger layout and rules
ui/js/Ranger.js, ui/ColumnsArea.qml, ui/ColumnPane.qml, ui/Theme.qml, ui/Header.qml, ui/shell.qml, ui/Ipc.qml, tests/js/ranger.js, tests/ui.sh, tests/js/harness.qml, README.md
Ranger hides the previous column at widths of 1097 px or less, assigns the final column the remaining width, and applies right-edge rules to the first two columns only. Tests and documentation cover the breakpoint and rule output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 321e8

Scrolling views with a nonzero content origin can select or load the wrong rows and thumbnails. This should be corrected before merge.

💡 Result:

In the context of software development, particularly within the Qt framework's QML language, originY and contentY are properties associated with the Flickable element, which is used to implement scrolling or flicking behavior [1]. contentY represents the current vertical coordinate of the content that is aligned with the top-left corner of the Flickable viewport [1]. As a user scrolls or flicks the content vertically, the value of contentY changes to reflect the current position [1]. originY represents the vertical coordinate of the content's origin, which refers to the top-left position of the content [1]. While this is typically 0, it can be an arbitrary value in components like ListView or GridView due to factors such as varying delegate sizes or items being added or removed [1]. These properties are commonly used together to calculate scroll positions, such as determining the position of a scrollbar relative to the content area [1]. For instance, a common formula for mapping content position to a scrollbar position is (contentY - originY) * (height / contentHeight) [1].

Citations:


Subtract originY before deriving row indices.

originY can be arbitrary in ListView and GridView, but ui/List.qml, ui/GridArea.qml, and ui/js/Thumbs.js derive rows from raw contentY. With originY = 20, contentY = 56, and a 37-pixel row, the relative offset is 36 pixels, but Math.floor(contentY / 37) selects row 1 instead of row 0. This can select the wrong cursor range and request incorrect thumbnails or directory sizes. Use contentY - originY for cursor, drift, and viewport calculations. Add an end-to-end test with a nonzero origin and a partial-row wheel event.
