There most definitely could be... if you made one. ;)

That looks like a message 'reader'. He's asking about a message 'editor'. I don't see anything on that github page about writing or editing a message being a feature, but if it actually does so, then no need to look any further! But, once you hit 'P' to post, or 'R' to reply, I'll assume that it turns to Mystic's default editor to actually write a message though.

Definitely looks like an excellent reader, and quite extensive MPL work for sure!

HINT: He might be the guy to ask for one. ;)

Nick

My bad, you are absolutely right. That's a reader! It's amazing that can
all be done in python/mpy.

I appreciate your shoutout, thanks! Do note that rJam does use the internal mystic message editor. It is however a very fancy message browser/reader ^^.

I love the new file browser (new to me) you have. I downloaded it and it's currently in my hidden "playground .." Once I get it changing groups and file areas, it'll replace my current 80x25 browser.

Best to take the latest version from Github, made a lot of improvements since the uploaded version. Swift scrolling by not redrawing all descriptions while having a arrow key pressed down for example. Really improves usability on slow connections.

... Tech support is just a busy signal away

Ah ok, I'll check it out. Does it support variable terminal sizes yet? I ask everyone who did all the work, to do more work, if it could pretty please have 132x37 and 160x40 in future releases :) haha.

Thanks Opi!
