Grep Tui

This is a application for basic search in files with a Terminal User Interface (TUI), it's written in Rust and uses crossterm and tui-rs for the interface.

---

Getting Started

In order to build the application, you will need to have installed git and rust.

---

Building

To clone the project and build it, use the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/seg-mx/grep_tui
cd grep_tui
cargo build --release

After doing that, the binary will be in ./target/release/grep_tui.

---

Usage

The interface has some components, every component has the key you have to press to focus that component. To quit the focus press Esc. When you have a component focused, the usage changes:

• Text input
  • This element should be intuitive, but in case it's not, press any key to add that character to the input, and backspace for removing characters
• Results
  • Here will appear the search results, press the arrow keys for going up or down. It's useful when the results overflows the screen size.

---

Quitting

Like in most terminal applications, to exit you have to press Ctrl + C.
