The terminal explorer (TEX for short), is an imitation of the good-old Windows Explorer, except it runs on a terminal, like the Command Prompt for example.
You can get started with TEX by downloading the files from this repository, then installing the tex.exe file.
After the installation, you can run TEX by typing tex in the command prompt.
By default, it will show you the directory you opened the program from.
However, type the -help argument, and a list of available commands will show, and the program will stop.
The commands are then instantly executed after you press the corresponding key.
I am planning to add new features in the future, such as:
- Custom colors: the folders and input text are colorated, it would be nice to have those your favourite colors
- Selection: it would be a lot faster to do specific actions on multiple files at once
- Copying and pasting: a fundamental feature to the explorer, again massively increasing the work speed
This is a very simple project, and lacks many features of the actual Windows Explorer. The idea is simply to manipulate the file structure on a computer, it's not anything fancy, like search systems and virus scanning. I hope you understand.
Don't be affraid to post comments and commit pull requests. I'll take all of them into consideration. Thanks!
