Limited number of visible items

[jonniek]

Display only some items at a time and keep the curstor visible when scrolling.

This should be as automagic as possible, perhaps see mpv-repl as reference, since it seems to handle font-sizes quite nicely.

It would also be nice if we could change the size of the font. Stats.lua has an option for this so it should be possible.

That might be something worth porting to playlistmanager as well.

Here's an example of changing font size and alignment:

  -- local font_size = mp.get_property("osd-font-size")
  local font_size = 24
  local alignment = 7
  -- use alignment tags instead of absolute positioning
  -- http://docs.aegisub.org/3.2/ASS_Tags/
  -- ass:pos(50, 50)
  local ass = assdraw.ass_new()
  ass:new_event()
  local style = string.format("{\\fs%d\\an%d}", font_size, alignment)
  for index, item in ipairs(menu_items) do
    local selected = index == cursor
    local prefix = selected and "● " or "○ "
    ass:append(style .. prefix .. item.label .. "\\N")
  end

Will this be possible or abandoned? I tried but couldn't manage to truncate the menu. Even I looked at the codes from "playlistmanager", but no luck.
