New-paradigm file-manager in single AppImage binary

Basically, the novelty of the tool comes from 3 factors:

  • Panelize everything.
  • Filter/grep everything.
  • Save everything for later.

Panelization is known from Midnight Commander - it means to capture command output into a list that can be browsed (i,e. files viewed and opened). Filtering by keywords is known from fzf fuzzy-finder. Finally: screen saving – a fully new discovery paradigm.

A next-generation file-manager: N-Commodore.

N-Commodore is a novel merge of regular command-line (think: ls, cp, mv, etc.) and of Midnight Commander. In short, when you first time run NC, you'll see a 2-column view with files and a command/search prompt (toggle between search and command prompts with Ctrl-/). When you run a command, like: ls functions, the current view will be a) saved to disk, b) replaced in the display with a new, 2-column view of files in the requested dir: ./functions. You can always filter the lines of text by switching to search prompt with Ctrl-/ and entering keywords. Or you can go back to the saved view and restore it via: Ctrl-Shift-Left.

Recommended is to visit help screen (press: Shift-F1 to open it).
