👨‍💻 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

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. F and f for finding\jumping-to the first filename-ocurance of the next letter you type, backwards or forwards. gg and G to go to scroll to the first or last file.
