slingshot is a lightweight tool to browse files in the terminal.
It allows the user to quickly filter through files in any directory, open them with a text editor (nvim by default), create/edit/delete files, and run commands in a simple interface.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- A quick way to navigate, create and edit files in the terminal.
- Aims to closely resemble vim motions to ensure a coherent workflow:
- Normal mode.
- Insert mode.
- Global commands – this enables console commands to be run inside the current directory in slingshot.
- Easily maintainable.
- Minimal use of third party crates.
