slackbuilds/system/felix

Felix is a tui file manager with vim-like key mapping, written in Rust,
fast, simple, and easy to configure & use.
Configuration path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/felix

Default config file will be created automatically when you launch the
program for the first time.

In config.toml, you can set:

how to open files
max length of item to be displayed (optional)
color of directory, file, and symlink separatively
default key to sort the item list ("Name" or "Time")

Command settings

For example, If you write

default = "nvim"

[exec]
feh = ["jpg", "jpeg", "png", "gif", "svg"]
zathura = ["pdf"]

then, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif and .svg files are opened by feh
<file-name>, .pdf files by zathura <file-name> and others by nvim
<file-name> .

Usage:
command / arguments
fx         Show items in the current directory.
fx  <directory path> Show items in the path. Both relative and
          absolute available.
fx  -l [path] or fx --log [path] Launch the app and create a log file.
fx  -v or fx --version Print the current version and check update.
fx  -h or fx --help Print help.

Key manual
Key Explanation

j / Up     Go up. If the list exceeds max-row, it "scrolls" before the
           top of the list.
k / Down   Go down. If the list exceeds max-row, it "scrolls" before
           the bottom of the list.
h / Left   Go to the parent directory if exists.
l / Right / Enter Open a file or change the directory. Commands for the
            execution can be managed in the config file.
o           Open a file in a new window. This enables you to use felix
            while working with the file. If you open a file in an editor
            that runs inside the terminal, no new window appears, and
            after exit some error messages may appear.
gg          Go to the top.
G           Go to the bottom.
z + Enter   Go to the home directory.
z <keyword> This command requires zoxide installed. Jump to a directory
            that matches the keyword. Internally, felix calls zoxide
            query <keyword>, so if the keyword does not match the zoxide
            database, this command will fail.
dd          Delete and yank one item (will go to the trash directory).
yy          Yank one item. If you yanked other item(s) before, it's
            replaced by this one.
p           Put yanked item(s) in the current directory. If the item
            with same name exists, copied item will be renamed with the
            suffix "_copied".
V           Switch to the select mode, where you can move cursor to
            select items.
d (select mode) Delete and yank selected items, and return to the normal
                mode.
y (select mode) Yank selected items, and return to the normal mode.
u           Undo put/delete/rename.
Ctrl + r    Redo put/delete/rename.
v           Toggle whether to show the item preview (text, image, or
            the contents tree) on the right half of the terminal. Hi-res
            image preview is enabled if i) your terminal supports
            sixel, and ii) you've preinstalled libsixel. If not, images
            are printed by blocks.
backspace   Toggle whether to show hidden items or not. This change
            remains after exit (stored in .session).
t           Toggle sort order (by name <-> by modified time). This
            change remains after exit (same as above).
c           Switch to the rename mode (enter the new name and press
            Enter to rename the item).
/           Switch to the filter mode (enter the keyword and press Enter
            to show the filtered list). Press h or Left to exit the
            filter mode.
:           Experimantal. Switch to the shell mode. Type command and
            press Enter to execute it. You can use any command in the
            displayed directory, but some commands may fail, and the
            display may collapse during execution.
:cd / :z    Go to the home directory.
:z <keyword> Same as z <keyword>.
:e          Reload the current directory. Useful when something goes
            wrong.
:empty      Empty the trash directory. Please think twice to use this.
:h          Show help. (scrolls by j/k or Up/Down)
Esc         Return to the normal mode.
:q / ZZ     Exit.
