Aug 1, 2025During August 2025, delivered targeted improvements to the CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA keybindings UI, focusing on correctness and performance. Implemented a bug fix to the keybindings UI off-by-one visibility check by reordering column drawing, ensuring header and item invlet visibility are accurately computed, reducing incorrect displays. Also implemented a rendering performance optimization by introducing ImGuiListClipper to render only visible rows in the keybindings window and refined scroll offset logic to work with clipping. These changes reduce rendering overhead, improve UI responsiveness, and enhance user experience for players configuring controls. Technologies used: ImGui, ImGuiListClipper, UI rendering optimization, code refactoring for visibility checks.
