'sdn' is a simple directory navigator that you can invoke while editing shell
|
||
|
|
commands. It enables you to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* take a quick peek at directory contents without running `ls`
|
||
|
|
* browse the filesystem without all the mess that Midnight Commander does:
|
||
|
|
there's no need to create a subshell in a new pty. The current command line
|
||
|
|
can be simply forwarded if it is to be edited. What's more, it will always
|
||
|
|
be obvious whether the navigator is running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Development has just started and the only supported platform is Linux.
|
||
|
|
I wanted to try a different, simpler approach here.
|
||

Building
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
Build dependencies: CMake and/or make, a C++14 compiler, pkg-config +
|
||
|
|
Runtime dependencies: ncursesw
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/pjanouch/sdn.git
|
||
|
|
$ mkdir sdn/build
|
||
|
|
$ cd sdn/build
|
||
|
|
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
||
|
|
$ make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cpack -G DEB
|
||
|
|
# dpkg -i sdn-*.deb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is also a Makefile you can use to quickly build a binary to be copied
|
||
|
|
into the PATH of any machine you want to have 'sdn' on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zsh
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
To start using this navigator, put the following in your .zshrc:
|
||
|
|
....
|
||
|
|
navigate () {
|
||
|
|
# ... possibly zle-line-init
|
||
|
|
eval `navigator`
|
||
|
|
[ -z "$cd" ] || cd "$cd"
|
||
|
|
[ -z "$insert" ] || LBUFFER="$LBUFFER$insert "
|
||
|
|
zle reset-prompt
|
||
|
|
# ... possibly zle-line-finish
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
zle -N navigate
|
||
|
|
bindkey '\eo' navigate
|
||
|
|
....
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As far as I'm aware, bash cannot be used for this, as there is no command to
|
||
|
|
reset the prompt from within a `bind -x` handler.
