openpaul / fqless Goto Github PK

It would be great if fqless would support text search like in native less.

Currently resizing the window will mess up the buffer after scrolling out of the current view.

I cloned the repo, then cd fqless. Then,
fqless bgppermp$ ./configure
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."

but

fqless bgppermp$ ls
DNA.cpp Makefile.in configure.ac fqless.cpp install-sh
DNA.h README.md depcomp fqless.h main.cpp
LICENSE config.log fastq.cpp fqless.png missing
Makefile.am configure fastq.h fqless_asci.png options.h

It looks like install-sh is in there. Oh, what to do? Any ideas?

Hi Paul,

I love fqless! It actually encouraged me to peek into FASTQ files instead of treating them almost as binary blobs.

At the moment fqless requires TERM to be set to xterm-256color. In tmux, TERM should be set to screen-256color. While there are workarounds (e.g. setting $TERM to xterm-256color manually, not advised), it would be nice if fqless can support screen-256color as a valid for displaying colors as tmux is a very common tool in a server environment.

./fqless fqless will after cloning using q mess up the colors of the terminal.

As long as text search is not supported, STDIN or other named pipes (eg fqless <(fgrep 1234 test.fq)) would be really helpful just to inspect a single sequence or small subset very quickly.

Automake is overkill, replace that

When scrolling out of the buffer a line jump might be observed.

Sometimes when pressing left or right arrow to change colors it crashes with

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
                                                                    what():  basic_string::_S_create

might be the case if no other possible colour scheme is availiable
