Is there any benefit to using a custom variable for the editor? Using EDITOR will use the correct editor out of the box for most users, since most people heavily using the terminal will have it set. If you want to offer the ability to use an editor other than what EDITOR is set to, perhaps you could check if tuifi_default_editor is set, and otherwise fallback to EDITOR?

Installed via: % pip3 install TUIFIManager --upgrade

Run as: % tuifi

Hello,

I see no reason why TUIFIManager should not start in the current working directory $PWD (os.path.curdir in Python).

Instead, it appears the default is to always start in the user's home directory ($HOME).

Please consider changing the behavior.

Just wanted to point out that for a terminal based utility, the default keybinding CTRL +S is highly problematic, as for most environments it means freeze / don't update / stop scrolling the terminal. (with CTRL + Q meaning continue / unfreeze / resume scrolling).

Please consider to replace this default binding with something less irritating to most users.

Thanks.

Weird Issue resulting in the over-drawing of another icon, when exiting find-mode (in position 0) and then proceeding to move:

it has been fixed, it will not be present in the next release

just a reminder to return when event is null 0, because i forgot about it and i was wondering why i had this issue lol

just add this line, under the handle_events function

if event == 0: return

If you ctrl+c and random characters appear on the side of the selected fille, it is because I forgot this line .

I'll remove it tommorow, now I'm going to sleep.

Hello, your project got the attention from a youtuber and I thought to help a bit with an issue that he talks about.

https://youtu.be/9laxdMKTZLA

Still missing a confirmation prompt and implementation to handle the trash with the manager, but with this PR, will solve the issue that any file that is deleted with this app, will delete them instead of send it to the trash.

Tested using a Fedora VM and works perfectly.

Good work and as the youtuber said, I hope this project keeps going.

PD: Will be nice to handle versioning using tags instead of commits, this will help to document the versions as stable as it gets, also if someone else tries to get involved into it, will help to know what's going on with more clear commit messages.

shell=True , make it a string and maybe remove os.system('clear') https://github.com/GiorgosXou/TUIFIManager/blob/c526026947e879ff3cf80d503371684eb18d62eb/TUIFIManager/init.py#L270 recreating the issue, open any file with DEFAULT_OPENER at least on windows

I'll just use pathlib's glob to fix it asap, my fault https://github.com/GiorgosXou/TUIFIManager/blob/c526026947e879ff3cf80d503371684eb18d62eb/TUIFIManager/init.py#L137 https://github.com/GiorgosXou/TUIFIManager/blob/c526026947e879ff3cf80d503371684eb18d62eb/TUIFIManager/init.py#L158 Reproducing the issue: create a folder named [what-ever]

I open this issue as I would present a few design a file type i made and may post more of them in the future. This issue is meant to collect every proposition instead of opening an issue for each

It would be really nice to have a separation for the ASCII files icons into their own files outside the codebase.

This would make organization easier, adding new files type an easy manner and improve the possibility for customization. I would think of having metadata along the ascii art, such a the file extensions.

For later on it could be a way to add better / small icons too while keeping the code clean with a simple loader helper

Permisions are limmited in TERMUX when it comes to the access of external storage like SD, and so send2trash fails to create a trash-folder in the root directory of the SD

Potential issue when opening files without extension and without DEFAULT_EDITOR https://github.com/GiorgosXou/TUIFIManager/blob/master/TUIFIManager/init.py#L253
