Connman-ncurses - A simple way to configure connman

Hi,

I wanted to let you know that I made a ncurses front end for connman.
If you already had to use connmanctl, well this is much simpler.
This is currently in "beta" but basic use cases work (connection, disconnection and network configuration).

I would appreciate any feedback, ideas or bug report.

AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/connman-ncurses-git
Git repository: https://github.com/alan-mushi/connman-json-client
Wiki: https://github.com/alan-mushi/connman-json-client/wiki

Thanks,
Thibault

Re: Connman-ncurses - A simple way to configure connman

This is pretty awesome , dunno why there aren't more interfaces for connman. I'll happily give you my feedback, in my opinion it's just too much white =P, something more colorful (kind of wicd-curses) would be nice. Also with the latest git connman revision 5d75c8, connman_ncurses crashes with a segmentation fault error whenever the offline mode is toggle. The preference windows navigation IMO should be contained in only one large page, or be divided by tabs (just like in wicd-curses), and the fn keys should be avoided for shortcuts, those may be difficult to bypass in some window managers/terminals. A configuration file for defining shortcuts would be ideal. Anyway, besides these comments I think it's quite an interesting interface and a lot more comfortable than connmanctl!

This seems to be nice beginning. So far there is CMST which is most mature and complex. I wish it was GTK based alternative to CMST
