fm - a very simple file manager

Basically it's just a bunch of functions and aliases, but it works nicely:

Let me know what you think .

Re: fm - a very simple file manager

Cool. Looks like its for bash? Then you might find this useful:

bind '"\C-x\C-l":"list\C-m"'

This binds keys, in this example, the key combination ctrl+X ctrl+L to the list command + enter press.

Wow, thanks, Hut. I took that into consideration and have updated fm.

Glad to hear it !

Anyway, since it's likely that new users will get pycp code from git, I prefer put a liitle warning here

Re: fm - a very simple file manager

Actually, Yannick_LM, I have a little request. Would it be possible for to have an --ask-once flag for overwriting files?

Good idea. Will do in a future release.

Re: fm - a very simple file manager

I think fm is now in a fairly useful state. I've updated it and ironed out all bugs that I could find. I particularly find handy the $n variable, which is kind of like a more universal $OLDPWD.

If anybody is using it, let me know if it's missing stuff that file managers should have. I'd love to further increase my productivity doing my file management in a BASH shell .
