Good question. My vision is a UI similar to mc with directory listing in o= ne=20 panel, file content in the other panel, =E2=80=9Cquick view=E2=80=9D and = =E2=80=9Clynx-like navigation=E2=80=9D=20 switched on. Help keybindings will become superfluous, and keybind= ings=20 to switch focus between menu and help =E2=80=9Cpanel=E2=80= =9D will be added. =20 Implementation will require some ncurses exercise and more time, than I hav= e=20 available in near future. Thus I keep saying =E2=80=9Cno promise =E2=80=A6= =E2=80=9D --=20 Regards Roland Eggner --eJnRUKwClWJh1Khz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlEXHWMACgkQdN/hKfT7G/KfcgCeM7kYqOECxZa3T+8BceGrDVIA Oy4An1hYI2glCxwzZjjqjvXIRXLxxv80 =iiPJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eJnRUKwClWJh1Khz--
