Variants

ExplorePwd

Explore the present working directory and register the filtered nodes. This operation is expensive. So, try to avoid using it too often. Once exploration is done, it will auto Refresh the state.

ExplorePwdAsync

Explore the present working directory and register the filtered nodes asynchronously. This operation happens asynchronously. That means, the xplr directory buffers won’t be updated immediately. Hence, it needs to be used with care and probably with special checks in place. To explore $PWD synchronously, use ExplorePwd instead. Once exploration is done, it will auto Refresh the state.

ExploreParentsAsync

Explore the present working directory along with its parents and register the filtered nodes. This operation happens asynchronously. That means, the xplr directory buffers won’t be updated immediately. Hence, it needs to be used with care and probably with special checks in place. To explore just the $PWD synchronously, use ExplorePwd instead. Once exploration is done, it will auto Refresh the state.

Refresh

Refresh the app state (uncluding UI). But it will not re-explore the directory if the working directory is the same. If there is some change in the working directory and you want to re-explore it, use the Explore message instead.

ClearScreen

Clears the screen.

FocusNext

Focus next node.

FocusNextByRelativeIndex(usize)

Focus on the nth node relative to the current focus where n is a given value.

Example: FocusNextByRelativeIndex: 2

FocusNextByRelativeIndexFromInput

Focus on the nth node relative to the current focus where n is read from the input buffer.

FocusPrevious

Focus on the previous item.

FocusPreviousByRelativeIndex(usize)

Focus on the -nth node relative to the current focus where n is a given value.

Example: FocusPreviousByRelativeIndex: 2

FocusPreviousByRelativeIndexFromInput

Focus on the -nth node relative to the current focus where n is read from the input buffer.

FocusFirst

Focus on the first node.

FocusLast

Focus on the last node.

FocusPath(String)

Focus on the given path.

Example: FocusPath: /tmp

FocusPathFromInput

Focus on the path read from input buffer.

FocusByIndex(usize)

Focus on the absolute nth node where n is a given value.

Example: FocusByIndex: 2

FocusByIndexFromInput

Focus on the absolute nth node where n is read from the input buffer.

FocusByFileName(String)

Focus on the file by name from the present working directory.

Example: FocusByFileName: README.md

ChangeDirectory(String)

Change the present working directory ($PWD)

Example: ChangeDirectory: /tmp

Enter

Enter into the currently focused path if it’s a directory.

Back

Go back to the parent directory.

LastVisitedPath

Go to the last path visited.

NextVisitedPath

Go to the next path visited.

FollowSymlink

Follow the symlink under focus to its actual location.

BufferInput(String)

Append/buffer the given string into the input buffer.

Example: BufferInput: foo

BufferInputFromKey

Append/buffer the characted read from a keyboard input into the input buffer.

SetInputBuffer(String)

Set/rewrite the input buffer with the given string. When the input buffer is not-null (even if empty string) it will show in the UI.

Example: SetInputBuffer: foo

RemoveInputBufferLastCharacter

Remove input buffer’s last character.

RemoveInputBufferLastWord

Remove input buffer’s last word.

ResetInputBuffer

Reset the input buffer back to null. It will not show in the UI.

SwitchMode(String)

Switch input mode. This will reset the input buffer and call Refresh automatically.

NOTE: To be specific about which mode to switch to, use SwitchModeBuiltin or SwitchModeCustom instead.

Example: SwitchMode: default

SwitchModeBuiltin(String)

Switch to a builtin mode. This will reset the input buffer and call Refresh automatically.

Example: SwitchModeBuiltin: default

SwitchModeCustom(String)

Switch to a custom mode. This will reset the input buffer and call Refresh automatically.

Example: SwitchModeCustom: my_custom_mode

SwitchLayout(String)

Switch layout. This will call Refresh automatically.

NOTE: To be specific about which layout to switch to, use SwitchLayoutBuiltin or SwitchLayoutCustom instead.

Example: SwitchLayout: default

SwitchLayoutBuiltin(String)

Switch to a builtin layout. This will call Refresh automatically.

Example: SwitchLayoutBuiltin: default

SwitchLayoutCustom(String)

Switch to a custom layout. This will call Refresh automatically.

Example: SwitchLayoutCustom: my_custom_layout

Call(Command)

Call a shell command with the given arguments. Note that the arguments will be shell-escaped. So to read the variables, the -c option of the shell can be used. You may need to pass Refresh or Explore depening on the expectation.

Example: Call: {command: bash, args: ["-c", "read -p test"]}

CallSilently(Command)

Like Call but without the flicker. The stdin, stdout stderr will be piped to null. So it’s non-interactive.

Example: CallSilently: {command: tput, args: ["bell"]}

BashExec(String)

An alias to Call: {command: bash, args: ["-c", "${command}"], silent: false} where ${command} is the given value.

Example: BashExec: "read -p test"

BashExecSilently(String)

Like BashExec but without the flicker. The stdin, stdout stderr will be piped to null. So it’s non-interactive.

Example: BashExecSilently: "tput bell"

Select

Select the focused node.

SelectAll

Select all the visible nodes.

SelectPath(String)

Select the given path.

Example: SelectPath: "/tmp"

UnSelect

Unselect the focused node.

UnSelectAll

Unselect all the visible nodes.

UnSelectPath(String)

UnSelect the given path.

Example: UnSelectPath: "/tmp"

ToggleSelection

Toggle selection on the focused node.

ToggleSelectAll

Toggle between select all and unselect all.

ToggleSelectionByPath(String)

Toggle selection by file path.

Example: ToggleSelectionByPath: "/tmp"

ClearSelection

Clear the selection.

AddNodeFilter(NodeFilterApplicable)

Add a filter to exclude nodes while exploring directories.

Example: AddNodeFilter: {filter: RelativePathDoesStartWith, input: foo}

RemoveNodeFilter(NodeFilterApplicable)

Remove an existing filter.

Example: RemoveNodeFilter: {filter: RelativePathDoesStartWith, input: foo}

ToggleNodeFilter(NodeFilterApplicable)

Remove a filter if it exists, else, add a it.

Example: ToggleNodeFilter: {filter: RelativePathDoesStartWith, input: foo}

AddNodeFilterFromInput(NodeFilter)

Add a node filter reading the input from the buffer.

Example: AddNodeFilterFromInput: RelativePathDoesStartWith

RemoveNodeFilterFromInput(NodeFilter)

Remove a node filter reading the input from the buffer.

Example: RemoveNodeFilterFromInput: RelativePathDoesStartWith
