vdir ===== A minimalistic visual directory browser for Plan 9.  Actions are performed using the right mouse button: - Home: go to current user's home directory - Open: present an entry to jump to a given directory - Up : go to the parent directory - New dir : present an entry to create a new directory - New file: present an entry to create a new empty file Middle-clicking on a file or folder will present a file operations menu. Right-clicking on the path (in the toolbar), plumbs the path name Right-clicking on folders, opens them. Right-clicking on files send them to the plumber. Keyboard shortcuts are: - Page up / Page down to scroll - Home to go to $home - Up arrow to go to parent directory - Space to plumb current directory path - q / Del to quit Usage: ------ Install with the usual ``mk install`` Run ``vdir [-r] [directory]`` If the `-r` flag is passed, delete will recursively delete directories. Path plumbing: -------------- When right-clicking the path in the toolbar, or pressing Space, the path name is sent to plumber. This can be used to open a window in the directory for instance: ``` src is vdir type is text arg isdir $data plumb start window -cd $data rc ``` In addition, a plumb rule can be installed so that plumbing a directory will change the current path of a running vdir: ``` type is text arg isdir $data plumb to vdir plumb client window vdir ``` Disclaimer: ----------- This was a quick and dirty hack that sure contains some bugs. Enjoy anyway :)
