A cross-platform terminal-based termux-oriented file manager *(and component)*, meant to be used with a [Uni-Curses](https://github.com/unicurses/unicurses) project or as is. This project is mainly an attempt to get more attention to the [Uni-Curses](https://github.com/unicurses/unicurses) project.

# ⚙️ Installation
```terminal
sudo pip3 install tuifimanager --upgrade
```
```terminal
pip3 install TUIFIManager --upgrade
```
or just ^^^ if it works for you. *(eg. on termux?)*


# 💥 Usage
Run `tuifi` in your terminal to use it as is or import it in one of your [Uni-Curses](https://github.com/unicurses/unicurses) project as a component like:
```python
from TUIFIManager import *
```
for more details look into the `__main__.py`

# 👨‍💻 Commands
**(Default & Custom Comands)** - To perform a command under the normal-mode, you first have to press the space-bar and then type the command. Alternatively, use `vim_mode` or enable the `tuifi_auto_command_on_typing` env-variable *(notice: it disables `tuifi_auto_find_on_typing`)*. **The default commands can be seen below and can be found under the `~/.config/tuifi/cmds.conf` where you can add your custom ones too:**

| Cmd | Type | Attributes | Label Information|
|---|---|---|---|
|`gt` | open | 'directory':'~/.config/tuifi'           | - tuifi -|
|`gh` | open | 'directory':'~/'                        | - Home -|
|`owv` | open | 'directory':None,'\_with':'vim'         |Opened With Vim|
|`yat` | copy | 'pattern':'.+\\\\.txt'                     ||
|`yy` | copy | 'pattern':None                          ||

**Available Type-keywords:** `open`, `copy`, `cut`, [`find`](## 'Attributes: `filename`')

**important note:** `o` is also used for ordering in `vim_mode`. In this case you can first press space-bar before proceeding with `owv` or with any other already reserved starting key, or just change it. 

**Additionally** there are also some hardcoded ones, like the `m`+character: which marks the current directory into the character, so you can navigate back to it by using \` or `;`+that_character. `yp` and `yd` to copy either the file-path or directory-path to clipboard.
