This can be accomplished a few ways:

Always show this information. Possibly in the top right of the screen. If this option is chosen there could be a setting to turn on or off this feature.
Add a command to show the current state via the quickMessage function in conjunction with a new receiver method on the View struct in question. This should be quicker to develop as it would largely use existing infrastructure.

There is also the question of display format:

A rounded percentage of the document shown on the screen: 12%
Line number out of total lines: 124 / 235

I am inclined to go with 2A (a command to show scroll state and a percentage to represent how much has been read).

Hi Sloum,

Would 2A show a percentage at the bottom right of the screen, shown in a similar fashion to the "Loading..." message that pops up when loading a page? If so, I think this is a good start.

Do you mind explaining a bit more how it would function as a command? I'm not sure if you mean having a command like :progress to briefly show the progress, or a command to turn on a progress indicator per-page or per-session, or something else.

My thought at the time of writing had been something like :progress that will bring up a temporary notice of where in the doc you are. Using the same mechanism as the "Loading..." message.

In the long term I'd like to improve a lot of the screen draw stuff and allow for more onscreen notices like this in a more permanent/lasting way.

If it was like the loading message, instead of being triggered by a command, could it be triggered whenever the user inputs a movement instruction (presses j, k, g or G)?

Very true! That is a good call. 👍

I'm hoping to work on this again soon! I have taken a short break from bombadillo in favor of a few smaller projects, mostly while I adjust to having an infant in the house (and the lack of sleep that comes with that). I'll get back to active dev here soon! There are so many cool things to implement (not to mention the possibility of adding the gemini protocol when that solidifies into a standard, which I am keen on doing).

I have moved this to wontfix. v2.0.0 has implemented this feature. As such I do not think someone should start working on getting it working for a 1.x series release. I will close this issue once v2.0.0 gets released to master.
