"if I did, I'd probably use Finder instead."
The thing that strikes me as very, very cool about this project is that you might not need the Finder at all any more.
- colomon 15y agoSee, here's the thing: I like Finder. It's not perfect, but sometimes it is very handy. Even if TermKit ends up implementing the complete functionality of Finder, I'm not sure why I'd particularly like to have that functionality in my terminal window. And if it's only implementing the one Finder view I virtually never use? Forget about it. You know what would rock my world? A "lsf" command that emulated "ls" as much as possible, but launched a Finder window appropriately sized to display the results.
- 9999 15y agoI've always thought Raskin's ZUI held some promise as an alternative UI paradigm. I'm pretty much a quicksilver addict now and use that to kind of combine the command line and GUI desktop worlds a little bit more at least.
- unconed 15y agoThat's what I aim for termkit ls to be. The current ls is a toy meant to show off the potential. As for why? Because it will be optimized for keyboard interaction and rapid context switching.
