Howdy,
its me again, the placeholder "{0}" is not longer needed if the file
path has to be at the end of the open with command, but still could be
used if the file path is needed somewhere in the middle.
so now it should be enought to enter
gedit

Howdy,
thanks, well we can improve it step by step. Its very flexible and
very easy to extend (depends on skills to create symbolic links loool)
anyway.
the syntax is quite simple. just enter the how you would open it from
shell but replace the filename with {0} (this is a placeholder for the
complete filepath)
for gedit this would just be
gedit {0}
for me gedit opens then with the selected file. this currently only
works for files. if your cursor is on an folder, it opens the path
currently in dragonFM.
to me more comfortable, i could just add the {0} if it does not exist
at the end.

Indeed it does. Thanks, DFM is a really neat bit of software.
However, how does the open with work? If I load up, say a text file and
hit open with... it gives me cat {0} | less
What's the syntax for that one? I tried typing in Gedit and got nothing,
tried Pluma, tried nano, no luck

i cant reproduce this here.
I just did a look at git, looks like all files are pushed

maybe a collision with an work in progress commit, wrong

i guess it must be a local issue, setup.py and PKGBUILD work
as expected
here.

when you select a file, press ctrl + o an input box

i just provided an PKGBUILD for dragonFM and uploaded it to AUR.
its currently a git package, as dragonFM does
not yet seen any stable

if you already installed it using setup.py you might need to
remove
conflicting files from your filesystem fist. (as
setup.py does bypass
the package manager)
i added an wildcard mime type. if there is no
specific entry in the mime
list, the xdg-open pops up now. this might be more helpful.
well, i will implement the open with for you. give me a second.
i will assign it to ctrl + o and move the open action to ctrl

about ^[u i was wrong. its just alt + u

i changed this for you
compress (the word compress bevore the

# {0} = Source: list of files separated

# {1} = Destination: archive name
compress=apack -q {1} {0}
decompress (for zipfiles, you can just

supported by atool and change the

I'm trying to replace unzip and tar
with atool, how NNN handles it since
it's a lot nicer to have one tool
that handles a ton of formats
without
having to hunt down 10 differrent programs
Aside from that, not made any other
changes to the .conf file though.
It's a neat little program, though
just in case I missed any, go
through
and use DragonFM with a terminal
emulator and see what you can come
up
with for shortcuts? I'm on a laptop

what I can do shortcuts wise however

If you hand me a list with

As F123 is no more, TTY compat.
does not matter that much

Unfortunately, DragonFM
doesn't work well out of the
box with a terminal
emulator, mostly down to
conflicts with keys like
F10. Yes I can redefine
them, but that's kind of
something Im slwly slowly
poking at. I'm unable to get
Mate-terminal to recognize a
ctrl+alt patern hough
whereas a TTY works fine so,
unsure if you need to test
Dragonfm on terminal
emulators with a desktop?
Kind of a shame since I like
how easy Dragon is to use vs
something like
MC or Ranger or NNN (my
current favorite one that
doesn't have keyboard
conflicts) though

Howdy,
Well there is a context
menu ( dragonFM calls
it Details, because it
also shows file
properties like size,
mime and a list of
available actions) with
all available options by
pressing F10
Some actions are only
available for given mime
types like compress
current only for zip and
tar, others could be
addad very easy. By
default dragonfm does
not use atool but unzip
command for zip files
and tar of course for
tar those need to be
installed or confured to
use something else. (I
can give you a more
detailed information how
to configure those stuff
if you are interested
in)
DragonFM reads the
Escape sequences from
stdin to detect
shortcuts (like almost
any other CLI
application)
Some important basic
translation help (we
should add the shortcuts
as comments to the
settings file lol )
^ = CTRL
[ = Alt
Uppercase letter = shift + letter
lowercase letter = just the letter
An other example:
^[u translates as ctrl + alt + u
There are some specials like arrow keys or escape.
Escape is translated by ^[
(by the way many
shortcuts are similar to
other graphical file
managers BUT shift +
arrow for mark files is
different as i could not
figure how to read this
from an escape sequence,
because there is no
uppercase arrow *smile*)
Development was
sponsored by F123
project. Today known as
stormux. Sadly i did not
wire a lot of
documentation but you
can ask me everything
you want to know :).

it loads up in

granted I've not
