vdir

A minimalistic visual directory browser for Plan 9.

vdir

Actions are performed using the right mouse button:

  • Home: go to current user's home directory
  • Open: present an entry to jump to a given directory
  • Up : go to the parent directory
  • New dir : present an entry to create a new directory
  • New file: present an entry to create a new empty file

Middle-clicking on a file or folder will present a file operations menu.
Right-clicking on the path (in the toolbar), plumbs the path name
Right-clicking on folders, opens them.
Right-clicking on files send them to the plumber.

Keyboard shortcuts are:

  • Page up / Page down to scroll
  • Home to go to $home
  • Up arrow to go to parent directory
  • Space to plumb current directory path
  • q / Del to quit

Usage:

Install with the usual mk install
Run vdir [-r] [directory] If the -r flag is passed, delete will recursively delete directories.

Path plumbing:

When right-clicking the path in the toolbar, or pressing Space, the path name is sent to plumber. This can be used to open a window in the directory for instance:

src is vdir
type is text
arg isdir $data
plumb start window -cd $data rc

In addition, a plumb rule can be installed so that plumbing a directory will change the current path of a running vdir:

type is text
arg isdir $data
plumb to vdir
plumb client window vdir

Disclaimer:

This was a quick and dirty hack that sure contains some bugs.
Enjoy anyway :)
