feature wish: hotkey for expanded process details

[ncqgm]

Typically, one has htop configured with only a few of all available columns.

Could we make (d)etails or (i)nfo key show a panel listing all columns with
their respective values regarding the process the selection bar was on ?

Thanks,
Karsten

Hmm. Could we just add a commandline switch for that? Then
people could just alias htop to that --flag. It's not the same as
your issue request, but people could just alias htop to that
variant with the --flag, and have those expanded columns
on start of htop.

I think he's more looking for an info box like this:

┌──────────────────────────────────┐
│ PID:  4711                          │
│ User: DLange                        │
│ Pri:  20                            │
│ Nice: -10                           │
│ VIRT: 1500M                         │
│ ...                                 │
│ Full command line: /usr/bin/htop ...│
│ ...                                 │
└──────────────────────────────────┘

Exactly. It could show the values for all known columns (only some of which are likely configured to be displayed in the list of processes). And then some :-) Karsten -- GPG 40BE 5B0E C98E 1713 AFA6 5BC0 3BEA AC80 7D4F C89B

I would like to have feature like this too, I was thinking about it for quite some time, but instead of "infobox" I would suggest same approach we do, when doing lsof display with l.

There is no point in infoboxing. When I am drilling down into the specific process I don't care about other processes, same way when I am drilling down into it's open files with l, i don't care about other processes.

This screen should give user access to as much and as detailed information as possible, probably it should implement even "deeper" sub-screens - it would be very comfortable to be able to descent into detailed memory maps process has and things like that.
