Cursor sync offset/more centered (like Vim's scrolloff)

[tuurep]

From offtopic discussion

Me:

The way the cursor line is at the very bottom of the page feels pretty disorienting to me when opening

But what I'm getting to with this is that I wish the cursor sync could have a similar option to Vim's scrolloff, if you know what I mean

But of course it's more complicated because lines aren't a fixed size like in terminal

Jannis:

Yes definitely. I have also had this thought but haven't followed it to think about how to implement that, haha. We use JavaScript's scrollIntoView for the scrolling, we could look into that and see how much effort it would be to implement or if that's already a feature there anyways

EDIT maybe also this. Can't look into it in detail right now.

This is probably a topic for main Vivify🙈

Oh.. okay

E: transfer was surprisingly easy

[jannis-baum]

Fancy! I have never used this transfer feature before but seems like its perfect for us!

@tuurep I think for this we'll need a way to pass config options to the client. Maybe you could adjust

Vivify/src/routes/viewer.ts

Lines 85 to 86 in 419eb5b

	window.VIV_PORT = "${config.port}";
	window.VIV_PATH = "${urlToPath(req.path)}";

to just add one property to window, e.g.

`window.VIV_INFO = {
    "port": "${config.port}",
    "path": "${urlToPath(req.path)}",
    "config": {
        // ...
    }
}`

so that we don't pollute it and end up with a million things on window.
