Description : Keyboard-driven terminal file navigator and launcher
Sodalite is a keyboard-driven terminal file navigator and launcher.
It's designed to be the missing glue for those who use the shell
as their daily driver and seek more speed and ease.
In a nutshell, sodalite assigns a key to each entry.
Pressing a key navigates to the corresponding entry.
The assignments are permanent but can be changed to your liking.
Next to fast navigation, sodalite brings file preview
with syntax highlighting and a pluggable hook system.
I believe that sodalite is a handy tool for powerusers like devs and
sysadmins. While there are similar curses-based file navigators like
'vifm' or 'ranger', none of them has a comparable UX: The central ability to
assign a single key to each entry is unique AFAIK.
I'm the developer of sodalite and want to make sodalite easily
accessible to as much people as possbile. Therefore, I'm planning on
maintaing the package myself.
The current packaging logic is kept here:
