Overview

Implement the Queue view that displays the current playback queue with full manipulation capabilities and drag-drop-like reordering.

Scope

Create a comprehensive queue management interface that allows users to view and manipulate the playback queue efficiently.

Implementation Requirements

Queue Display (presentation/tui/views/queue.go)

  • Scrollable list of queued tracks
  • Current track highlighting and position indicator
  • Track information display (title, artist, duration)
  • Queue statistics (total tracks, total time)
  • Visual indicators for different track states
  • Track numbering and position display

Queue Manipulation

  • Add tracks to queue (from search or library)
  • Remove tracks from queue (delete key)
  • Play specific track immediately (enter key)
  • Move tracks up/down in queue (ctrl+up/down)
  • Clear entire queue (configurable shortcut)
  • Shuffle queue contents

Interactive Features

  • Keyboard navigation through queue
  • Multi-select for batch operations
  • Context menu for track actions
  • Quick search within queue
  • Jump to currently playing track
  • Queue import/export capabilities

Visual Design

  • Clean, table-like layout with proper spacing
  • Color coding for current track and selection
  • Progress indicators for long operations
  • Smooth scrolling and navigation
  • Visual feedback for all manipulations
  • Status line with queue information

Technical Requirements

  1. Performance - Handle large queues (1000+ tracks) smoothly
  2. Real-time Updates - Reflect queue changes immediately
  3. Efficient Rendering - Virtual scrolling for large lists
  4. State Management - Consistent queue state synchronization
  5. Memory Efficiency - Minimal memory usage for large queues

User Experience

  • Intuitive keyboard shortcuts for all operations
  • Visual feedback for all actions
  • Undo capability for accidental changes
  • Clear indication of current track and position
  • Helpful tooltips and status messages
  • Fast navigation through large queues

Success Criteria

  • Queue view displays all tracks correctly
  • All manipulation operations work reliably
  • Performance is good with large queues
  • Real-time updates reflect changes immediately
  • User interface is intuitive and responsive
  • Integration with other views works smoothly
  • Error handling provides good feedback
  • Memory usage is efficient

Integration Points

  • Queue repository for data operations
  • gRPC client for real-time queue updates
  • Navigation system for view transitions
  • Now Playing view for current track coordination

Testing Strategy

  • Unit tests for queue manipulation logic
  • Performance testing with large queues
  • Integration tests with queue repository
  • User experience testing for all operations
  • Error scenario testing (queue corruption, etc.)
  • Memory usage profiling with large datasets
