Module "Newline" and --raw and --raw-separator commands

[jordantrizz]

Current state:

There is no method I've found to have modules on the same line with a separator and introduce a new line.

Wanted state:

❯ fastfetch --structure Title:OS:Newline:CPU:Newline:Shell:Kernel --raw --raw-separator "|"

username@host | OS: Ubuntu 20.04 x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (16) @ 3.600022 GHz 
Shell: zsh 5.8 | Kernel: 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Why the change is sensible:

More flexible formatting without of output.

You may use --set or --set-keyless

Thanks @CarterLi, but I couldn't figure out how to create the following.

Host: KVM (RHEL 7.6.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)) | Kernel: 5.15.0-58-generic
Uptime: 91 days, 11 hours, 32 mins | Packages: 863 (dpkg), 3 (snap)
Shell: zsh 5.8.1 | Terminal: screen
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2680 v2 (2) @ 2.799998 GHz | GPU: Cirrus Logic GD 5446
Memory: 430.67 MiB / 2.42 GiB (17%) | Disk (/): 15.49 GiB / 56.49 GiB (27%)
Locale: en_US.UTF-8 |

Am I missing something?

[CarterLi]

No, you can't do this. It's not supported.

[jordantrizz]

Thanks for the confirmation @CarterLi I've updated the issue, suggesting a --raw mode. Seems like it's a big endeavour.

[jordantrizz]

Any thoughts @CarterLi

[CarterLi]

No thoughts. Line merging is a long planned feature but definitely not easy to do.

[jordantrizz]

Thanks for the response @CarterLi

[jordantrizz]

@CarterLi what about --raw removing the formatting of the output?

[CarterLi]

What did you mean formatting? We have --pipe to remove colors and -l none to remove the logo

[jordantrizz]

Sorry, I completely missed it, I grep'd versus RTFM. Thanks.
