=======================================================
What is it?
===========
noice is a small ncurses-based file manager.
It was first developed to be used with a tv remote control for a media
center solution.
Getting started
===============
Get the latest version from the git-repository; build and install it. Run
noice in a directory to display its content in the form of a list, where
each line is a file or directory. The currently selected item will be
preceded with a " > " by default.
Navigation
----------
You can navigate the list using the following keybinds (hardcoded):
+------+-------+-------+---------------------------------------------------
| k | UP | ^P | go up
| j | DOWN | ^N | go down
| | PGUP | ^U | go up (fast)
| | PGDN | ^D | go down (fast)
| l | RIGHT | ^M | open file / directory (see section "File opening")
| h | LEFT | ^? | navigate up one directory
| / | & | | filter output
| ! | | | spawn shell in current directory
| c | | | chdir into the given path
| q | | | exit program
+------+-------+-------+---------------------------------------------------
File opening
------------
Depending on the filetype, noice will open the selected file with the
application specified in `config.h` at compilation time. The associations
are specified by regexes, so you might experience issues when trying to
open a file that does not match those regexes.
The default program is `less(1)`. For text files, you can use the 'v'
command in `less(1)` to open the file in your $EDITOR.
Filters
-------
Filters narrow down the view. This effectively allows you to easily
search/jump to a particular file or directory. If you want to reset the
filter then you can just use the match-any regex (i.e. '.'). You can
think of noice being in search mode all the time.
Filters do not stack or nest. They are applied afresh every time.
