Overview

slingshot 0.3.0

Tests

Slingshot is a lightweight tool to browse files in the terminal. It allows the user to quickly filter through files in any directory, open them with a text editor (nvim by default), create/edit/delete files , and run commands in a simple interface.

Design Goals

  • A quick way to navigate, create and edit files in the terminal.
  • Easily maintanable.
  • Minimal use of third party crates.

Dependencies

How to install

  • Build from source:
    • Clone the repository & navigate to cloned directory.
    • Run make build
    • Run make install

How to use

Slingshot aims to closely resemble vim motions to ensure a coherent workflow. Once started, Slingshot defaults to normal mode.

Normal mode:

  • Used for navigation.
  • [J, K] can be used to navigate up and down the file list.
  • [H, L] can be used to navigate back one directory, or to enter the selected directory.
  • [I, A] can be used to switch to insert mode

Insert mode:

  • Used for typing the search term.
  • [Enter] can be used to enter the selected file.

Global commands:

  • [Ctrl+C] to quit application,
  • [Ctrl+N] to run commands.

Fish Shell Integration

The only requirement is to have slingshot installed.

  1. Run fisher install caio-ishikawa/slingshot-fish.

The default keybind to open slingshot in the fish shell is Ctrl+S.

Known issues

  • Scrolling/overflows do not work. (filtering is not affected.)
  • Crashes if user tries to move back from home directory.

  • updates controls to more closely resemble vim.

    updates controls to more closely resemble vim.

    With this change, Slingshot will start in "normal mode", which allows the user to move up, down, back, and forward in the file list using H,J,K & L. To start insert mode, which allows the user to edit the search term, either the "a" key or the "i" key will trigger it to start.

    Ctrl+N continues to be the key used for starting command mode.

    I chose to create a new field in the AppState to represent the different vim-like modes because I eventually want to be able to use both visual and insert mode in the command screen. It would be useful to be able to copy the output of commands to the clipboard.
