Thanks for the diff, but personally I am not too interested in adding it to the patch, but I don't really have a very strong opinion on this.

The keybindings that you list should mostly already be part of upstream htop, I don't know if there is much value in changing the bar.

Also need to keep in mind the other "modes" in htop. When you go to the search mode, it will be showing F3 and S-F3 and not a / as that wouldn't work there (and should be n and N but that's beside the point). It will feel a bit random showing F3. Also F1 is a keybind in Vim, even if it doesn't feel much like it.

The real Vim way would be to hide this bar altogether by default. What is this, nano? We don't need reminders of keybinds!

This package could be improved by changing the bindings in the bar at the bottom to use non-function key bindings. Here is a patch, if you're interested in updating the package, or for anyone else who may wish to apply it themselves, if you choose to leave as is. @dawidpotocki

I noticed it, it's just that I started writing before you sent it :).

By the way, thanks removing the need to remember which function key does what in htop.

What do you mean?

@dawidpotocki Thanks, yeah it was a false alarm. I added an "EDIT: ..." message to the original post, but ironically the bold text makes it easier to miss.

Hi @mattalxndr,

autoreconf is part of autoconf package; you can see this for yourself with sudo pacman -Fy autoreconf.

autoconf is part of base-devel which is the minimum set of packages required to build AUR packages.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

So just sudo pacman -S base-devel and it should build just fine.

=== EDIT: Please disregard. PEBKAC ===

@dawidpotocki I don't have autoreconf installed:

Not sure, is it actually part of the standard install utilities for AUR packages?
