Adapt Plugins for Execution in Visual Navigation Mode 🖥️

[s4dhulabs]

Description:

In the visual navigation mode, initialized via the start command, users can manage the framework without command-line input, using only arrow keys and shortcuts. This mode will allow users to run plugins in a more user-friendly manner. However, unlike the advanced command-line mode where users specify all execution details, the visual mode requires plugins to have pre-configured values that will be auto-loaded into the argument parser workspace. This will enable users to execute plugins with minimal input, only specifying the scope while other execution details are pre-configured.

Technical Details:

Adapt the YAML configuration of all plugins to include pre-configured parameters.
Implement functionality to auto-load these parameters into the argument parser workspace when a plugin is executed in visual mode. Ensure that the visual mode allows users to execute plugins by simply pressing 'r', with minimal input required.
Current Visual Mode Example:

           *         ⠛                     ⠛
                      _^_               .
           (( ( ____.´└┘┐`.____  )) ) )  *         *
                    `.⠞⠓⠎.´               .
                     |││||
                 _ _

Proposed Solution:

• YAML Configuration Adaptation: Modify the YAML configuration files of all plugins to include pre-configured parameters that can be auto-loaded.
• Parameter Autoloading: Implement functionality to auto-load these parameters into the argument parser workspace when a plugin is executed in visual mode.
• User Experience Simplification: Ensure that users can execute plugins by pressing 'r', with minimal input required to specify the scope.

Example of YAML Configuration Adaptation:

plugin_name: example_plugin
description: Example plugin description
parameters:
  - name: param1
    type: string
    default: value1
  - name: param2
    type: int
    default: 10
autoload: true

Benefits:

• Provides a user-friendly interface for executing plugins in visual mode.
• Simplifies the process of running plugins with pre-configured parameters.
• Abstracts command-line details, making the framework accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise.

Future Considerations:

• Explore additional features for the visual navigation mode, such as customizable shortcuts and themes.
• Consider integrating with a graphical user interface (GUI) framework for enhanced visual management.
