So, that wasn't what was implemented in Namhyung's patchkit, right? I.e.
it scrolls characters, not columns.
Can you take a look at the patchkit I put together at my tree, branch:
tmp.perf/ui_browser.horiz_scroll
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/log/?h=tmp.perf/ui_browser.horiz_scroll
The last two patches do it:
$ git log --oneline | head -2
8a7684de198b perf hists browser: Implement horizontal scrolling
a00e506da09e perf ui browser: Optional horizontal scrolling key binding
$
$ git diff HEAD^^ --stat
tools/perf/ui/browser.c | 14 ++++++++++++++
tools/perf/ui/browser.h | 2 +-

Several lines are just comments explaining some tricks due to me not
having found a counter for the number of colums somewhere and reusing
the first loop that traverses them all to do the counting.
There are two before those that at first I thought was needed, but ended
up not using (would have to render the whole line in ui_browser to do
the scrolling at line printing time, works only for browsers where just
one call to ui_browser__printf or ui_browser__write_nstring is done,
but I ended up leaving it there anyway, to try to make the
hist_browser.c and other ui_browser implementations (annotate, etc)
independent of libslang:
$ git log --oneline | head -4 | tail -2
e7534e88dfa3 perf ui browser: Introduce ui_browser__printf()
2fe0f7e4b73e perf ui browser: Introduce ui_browser__write_nstring()
$
Tested it with 'perf mem record -g -a' + 'perf mem report', and I liked
how it works, please check if you like it too :-)
The <- and -> keys are reused just when the horizontal scrolling mode is
activate by setting ui_browser->columns, the hists_browser (perf report,
perf top) will continue having ENTER and ESC, as always, to
select/deselect things.
If we insist we need character by character scrolling, or if we need
that move in other browser (annotate, for instance) its just a matter of
using ui_browser->horiz_scroll as a char counter and use it in the
ui_browser->refresh() calls when rendering each line.
