Felix is a tui file manager with vim-like key mapping, written in Rust,
fast, simple, and easy to configure & use.
Configuration path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/felix
Default config file will be created automatically when you launch the
program for the first time.
In config.toml, you can set:
how to open files
max length of item to be displayed (optional)
color of directory, file, and symlink separatively
default key to sort the item list ("Name" or "Time")
Command settings
For example, If you write
default = "nvim"
[exec]
feh = ["jpg", "jpeg", "png", "gif", "svg"]
zathura = ["pdf"]
then, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif and .svg files are opened by feh
<file-name>, .pdf files by zathura <file-name> and others by nvim
<file-name> .
Usage:
command / arguments
fx Show items in the current directory.
fx <directory path> Show items in the path. Both relative and
absolute available.
fx -l [path] or fx --log [path] Launch the app and create a log file.
fx -v or fx --version Print the current version and check update.
fx -h or fx --help Print help.
Key manual
Key Explanation
j / Up Go up. If the list exceeds max-row, it "scrolls" before the
top of the list.
k / Down Go down. If the list exceeds max-row, it "scrolls" before
the bottom of the list.
h / Left Go to the parent directory if exists.
l / Right / Enter Open a file or change the directory. Commands for the
execution can be managed in the config file.
o Open a file in a new window. This enables you to use felix
while working with the file. If you open a file in an editor
that runs inside the terminal, no new window appears, and
after exit some error messages may appear.
gg Go to the top.
G Go to the bottom.
z + Enter Go to the home directory.
z <keyword> This command requires zoxide installed. Jump to a directory
that matches the keyword. Internally, felix calls zoxide
query <keyword>, so if the keyword does not match the zoxide
database, this command will fail.
dd Delete and yank one item (will go to the trash directory).
yy Yank one item. If you yanked other item(s) before, it's
replaced by this one.
p Put yanked item(s) in the current directory. If the item
with same name exists, copied item will be renamed with the
suffix "_copied".
V Switch to the select mode, where you can move cursor to
select items.
d (select mode) Delete and yank selected items, and return to the normal
mode.
y (select mode) Yank selected items, and return to the normal mode.
u Undo put/delete/rename.
Ctrl + r Redo put/delete/rename.
v Toggle whether to show the item preview (text, image, or
the contents tree) on the right half of the terminal. Hi-res
image preview is enabled if i) your terminal supports
sixel, and ii) you've preinstalled libsixel. If not, images
are printed by blocks.
backspace Toggle whether to show hidden items or not. This change
remains after exit (stored in .session).
t Toggle sort order (by name <-> by modified time). This
change remains after exit (same as above).
c Switch to the rename mode (enter the new name and press
Enter to rename the item).
/ Switch to the filter mode (enter the keyword and press Enter
to show the filtered list). Press h or Left to exit the
filter mode.
: Experimantal. Switch to the shell mode. Type command and
press Enter to execute it. You can use any command in the
displayed directory, but some commands may fail, and the
display may collapse during execution.
:cd / :z Go to the home directory.
:z <keyword> Same as z <keyword>.
:e Reload the current directory. Useful when something goes
wrong.
:empty Empty the trash directory. Please think twice to use this.
:h Show help. (scrolls by j/k or Up/Down)
Esc Return to the normal mode.
:q / ZZ Exit.
