Handle overlapping textboxes

[spacehamster]

Sometimes mokuro will output overlapping textboxes which can make it difficult to read the box with the lower z-index.

The simplest solution I think would be to allow dragging textboxes while ctrl is held. Something like adding this to TextBox's onmousemove event and also preventing panning on textboxes.

  let dragState = {
    active: false,
    initialMouseX: 0,
    initialMouseY: 0,
    initialEleX: 0,
    initialEleY: 0,
    scale: 1
  }
  function onHover(event: MouseEvent) {
    let ele = (event.currentTarget as HTMLInputElement);
    if(event.ctrlKey && ele)
    {
      ele.style.cursor = "move";
      ele.style.userSelect = "none";
    } else if(ele) {
      ele.style.cursor = "";
      ele.style.userSelect = "";
    }
    if(event.ctrlKey && event.buttons == 1 && !dragState.active && ele.parentElement)
    {
      dragState.active = true;
      dragState.initialEleX = parseFloat(ele.style.left);
      dragState.initialEleY = parseFloat(ele.style.top);
      dragState.initialMouseX = event.x;
      dragState.initialMouseY = event.y;
      let eleRect = ele.getBoundingClientRect();
      let parentRect = ele.parentElement?.getBoundingClientRect();
      let viewLeft = eleRect.left - parentRect.left;      
      dragState.scale = viewLeft / dragState.initialEleX;
    }
    if(!event.ctrlKey || event.buttons != 1)
    {
      dragState.active = false;
    }
    if(event.ctrlKey && event.buttons == 1 && dragState.active)
    {
        let newX = dragState.initialEleX - (dragState.initialMouseX - event.x) / dragState.scale;
        let newY = dragState.initialEleY - (dragState.initialMouseY - event.y) / dragState.scale;
        ele.style.left = `${newX}px`;
        ele.style.top = `${newY}px`;
    }
  }

Thanks, thats a great suggestion.

Will look into implementing it or a similar method when I get a gap.

I'd also be interested in something like this

Combining mokuro reader with Migaku makes the text take up more space, such that I can no longer move my cursor to the text at the edge of the box without the text vanishing if my cursor goes outside of the page or overlaps with another textbox.

Having a way to keep a textbox active on demand would be nice.
