Owl is a minimalistic, simple and fast file explorer that aims to make file exploring fast, safe and easy. To achieve that Owl provides keyboard only TUI, a built-in shell and a built-in guide.
The default mode of Owl, you can go back to normal mode by pressing the Escape key.
The normal mode enables you to browse through files and open them by pressing the Enter key while hovering on the file.
Owl has its own shell and unique commands to interact with the file system.
You can gain access to the mode by typing : in any other mode.
| Command | Description | Synopsis |
|---|---|---|
| end | Quit from owl | end |
| exp | Display cwd tree | exp |
| ser | Searches for a file inside cwd | ser [file_name.extension] |
| scd | Switches the cwd to the given directory | scd [new directory path] |
| del | Deletes a file from cwd | del [file_name.extension] |
| cpy | Copies a file to clipboard | cpy [file_name.extension] |
| opn | Opens the contents of a file | opn [file_name.extension] |
| mov | Moves the file to a given directory | mov [file_name.extension] [path] |
Display all available commands in a separate mode.
I've chosen to create a separate mode for this feature as it is more convenient to navigate inside Owl.
- Configurable.
- Preview files.
- Creation of files and deletion.
- Very fast resource searching algorithm.
- Compressing folders and zip extractions.
