Package details
Viewglob is a filesystem visualization add-on for Bash and Zsh
when used in windowing environments. It controls a graphical
display listing the contents of certain directories, with file
selections, which are relevant to the active shell+terminal. The
display updates dynamically when the command line or environment
of the current shell changes or when the user switches to a
different terminal. It can track multiple shells, local and
remote.
The package has three communicating parts:
* vgseer, client:
Supervises an interactive shell and keeps track of command line
and environment changes.
* vgd, server daemon:
Mediates information exchange between any number of vgseer
processes (local or remote) and a Viewglob display.
* vgmini and vgclassic, graphical displays:
List the contents of directories relevant to the currently active
shell, highlighting file selections and potential name completions.
A convenience script 'viewglob' is provided as a startup shortcut.
