The home screen is where datui starts when you launch it without a path, and
where Ctrl+O returns you from anywhere.
NAVIGATION
↑ / ↓ / k / j Move the selection
← / → / h / l Collapse or expand a section
Tab Cycle the sort. The control bar names the order in effect
where the cursor is: "recent" under Recent, "name" under a
directory, or size / modified / rows once chosen.
Enter Open the dataset, enter the directory, or fold the section
Backspace Leave a directory you descended into
Esc Back out one layer, and quit once there is nothing left
Ctrl+C Quit
FINDING
(type) Filter by name or column; matching is fuzzy, so "sal" finds
"sales", and "customer_id" finds every dataset with that column
Typing also searches below the working directory; what it
finds appears under "Found"
Backspace Delete a filter character
~ Type a path directly, for somewhere datui has not seen yet
Tab (while typing a path) complete it
Delete Forget the highlighted entry (under Recent only)
Shift+Delete Forget every recent entry, after confirming
Ctrl+U Clear the filter or path input
WHERE THESE COME FROM, IN ORDER
Recent Datasets you have opened before, most recent first
Current directory Where you launched datui
Configured Directories from [data] directories, in the order listed
Recent dirs Directories of datasets you have opened, 8 most recent
Elsewhere Directories your desktop recorded, listed unexpanded
Found Datasets under the working directory, from the search that
typing starts. Shown only while you are typing.
Filtering keeps this grouping, so a match shows which root it came from.
Opening a dataset also teaches datui about the directory holding it, so a
dataset on a mount only has to be found by hand once.
datui stores nothing about your data except this list of recent paths.
