'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`;
|
||||
* select files to insert into the command line;
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
Press Alt-o at any point while composing a command to explore the filesystem
|
||||
visually. When you return, 'sdn' can change the shell's working directory,
|
||||
or insert one or more shell-quoted paths directly into the command line,
|
||||
all without discarding what you were already typing.

'sdn' runs on Linux, all BSD derivatives, and within MSYS2. I wanted to try

a different, simpler approach with this project, and the end result is

The high-level goal has been to turn Midnight Commander inside out: unlike with

MC's Ctrl-o escape, it will always be obvious whether the navigator is running.
