ICTREE(1) General Commands Manual ICTREE(1) NAME ictree - like tree but interactive SYNOPSIS ictree [OPTION...] [FILE] DESCRIPTION ictree is a terminal-based program that takes a list of contents of direc- tories and displays them in a pager similar to less where you can fold/un- fold directories and quickly jump between them. It is useful to browse locate, find or any other program output that is a list of paths. EXAMPLES Find something with locate and pipe output into ictree: locate something | ictree The same applies to any program that can produce a list of paths. For ex- ample, one can use find with ictree to view current working directory in a nice tree-like format: find | ictree ictree can also take a file that contains paths as its first argument: locate something > list.txt ictree list.txt ictree supports vi-like search functionality. Extended regular expressions are supported. If a pattern contains / character, the search is performed by full paths of items instead of their short names in the list. COMMANDS All the commands for moving in the pager resemble less and vi commands. MOVING j, <Down> Move cursor down 1 line k, <Up> Move cursor up 1 line l, <Right> Scroll right h, <Left> Scroll left ^E, <Mouse Wheel Down> Scroll down one line ^Y, <Mouse Wheel Up> Scroll up one line ^D Scroll down half-window ^U Scroll up half-window ^F Scroll down one window ^B Scroll up one window g Move cursor to the top G Move cursor to the bottom z Put cursor at the center of window p Go to parent item OTHERS <Enter>, <Mouse Left Button> Fold/unfold selected item <Space> Fold selected item and move cursor down 1 line c Go to parent item and fold it / Search forward for pattern ? Search backward for pattern n Repeat previous search N Repeat previous search in reverse direction y Copy selected item into X or Wayland clipboard (using this command requires xsel or wl-copy installed, depending on which display server is used) o Write selected item to standard output and exit q, <Esc> Quit ^Z Suspend ictree CUSTOM COMMANDS It's possible to define custom commands in the configuration file (see FILES) to open a selected path in other programs. Examples: # open selected path in vim by pressing e map e vim $f # open selected path in a pager # defined in $PAGER environment variable map i $PAGER $f When a custom command is invoked, ictree simply runs a program with /bin/sh and sets $f variable to whatever a user has selected. Note: unlike Vim, it's impossible to use more than one character in a map- ping. OPTIONS --fold, -f Fold directories by default. --separator=<C>, -s <C> Set directory separator to C. / is the default value. --help, -h Print a help message and exit. --version, -v Display version information and exit. FILES $XDG_CONFIG_PATH/ictree/config Configuration file. If $XDG_CONFIG_PATH is not defined, $HOME/.con- fig is used instead.
