xplr 0.1.3

An experimental, minimal, configurable TUI file explorer, stealing ideas from nnn and fzf.

Example usage:

# Edit file
vim $(xplr)

# Copy file(s)
cp $(xplr) $(xplr)

# Search and move file
mv $(fzf) $(xplr)

Let's brainstorm

You can also experiment and help by suggesting ideas/opinions.

1. Install

cargo install xplr

2. Create the customizable config file (requires yq)

mkdir -p ~/.config/xplr

echo "?" | xplr | yq ".config" -y | tee ~/.config/xplr/config.yml

3. Check the key bindings in the config file.

4. Run xplr.

TODO research

• Research FIFO/socket options for better integration with other tools.
• Research saner configuration formats.
• Research saner key binding options.
• Research how to go beyond filesystem and explore any tree-like structure.
• CLI options and help menu.
• Go beyond research and implement things.
