An experimental, minimal, configurable TUI file explorer, stealing ideas from [`nnn` ](https://github.com/jarun/nnn ) and [`fzf` ](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ).

Example usage:
--------------
```bash
# Edit file
vim "$(xplr)"
# Copy file(s)
cp "$(xplr)" "$(xplr)/"
# Search and move file
mv "$(fzf)" "$(xplr)/"
```
As of now the fuctionality is pretty limited. You basically have to drop
into a shell (default key `s` ) in the directory to do things like
create/delete/rename files. A lot of research and implementations to go.
Although, it's currently satisfying my needs (for customization and speed)
with this vim plugin https://github.com/sayanarijit/xplr.vim.
Let's brainstorm
----------------
You can also experiment and help by suggesting ideas/opinions.
1. Install
```bash
cargo install xplr
```
2. Create the customizable config file (requires [`yq` ](https://github.com/mikefarah/yq ))
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/xplr
echo "?" | xplr | yq ".config" -y | tee ~/.config/xplr/config.yml
```
3. Check the key bindings in the config file.
4. Run `xplr` .
TODO research
-------------
- [ ] Research FIFO/socket options for better integration with other tools.
- [ ] Research saner configuration formats.
- [ ] Research saner key binding options.
- [ ] Research how to go beyond filesystem and explore any tree-like structure.
- [ ] Research ways to make it faster (load and run).
- [ ] Research ways to implement a plugin system.
- [ ] CLI options and help menu.
- [ ] Go beyond research and implement things.
