+# RTFM - Ruby Terminal File Manager
+
+## What?
+RTFM is a file manager for the terminal written in Ruby. It lets you browse
+directories and view the content of directories and files. Files are syntax
+highlighted, images are shown in the terminal, videos are thumbnailed, etc.
+You can bookmark and jump around easily, delete, rename, copy, symlink and
+move files. RTFM has a a wide range of other features. Read on for what it can
+do.
+
+Note: RTFM works best with the (u)rxvt, xterm and Eterm terminal emulators.
+
+## Why?
+RTFM parses your LS_COLORS to ensure color consistency with the terminal experience.
+
+The idea came to mind as I was working on [a complete
+LS_COLORS setup](https://github.com/isene/LS_COLORS) with a corresponding
+ranger theme. But making a separate theme for ranger to mimic a massive
+LS_COLOR setup is rather stupid. File managers should parse LS_COLORS as
+default rather than implement their own themes. This became an itch that
+I kept scratching until I could happily replace ranger two weeks later.
+
+
+## How?
+RTFM is a two-pane file manager. You navigate in the left pane and the content
+of the selected item (directory or file) is shown in the right pane. The right
+pane is also used to show information such as the currently tagged items, your
+(book)marks, output from commands, etc. 
+
+You can run any command in the bottom "command line" and have the output
+presented in the right pane. Use LEFT and RIGHT keys to go back and forth on
+the command line, HOME to beginning of line, END to end of line, Backspace or
+Ctrl-h to delete previous character, Ctrl-w to delete previous word, TAB to
+complete directories and file names and ENTER to issue the command, while
+Ctrl-u deletes the line. Issuing ENTER on a blank line has no effect.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install RTFM by simply coloning this repo and put the file `rtfm` in
+your "bin" directory. Or you can simply run `gem install rtfm-filemanager`.
+
+There are two basic prerequisites needed: `x11-utils` and `xdotool`. On
+Ubuntu these would be installed via `apt install x11-utils xdotool`.
+
+In order to run RTFM (without generating [a bunch of
+warnings](https://github.com/isene/RTFM/issues/1)), you need to do a `gem
+install curses` (gets version 1.3.2) instead of installing via `apt install
+ruby-curses` (gets version 1.2.4-1build1 on Ubuntu 20.04). 
+
+Content of text files are handled by `cat` - or by `bat` if you want beautiful
+highlighting. Other files are shown via external programs. It is shown if you
+have the program installed (Debian/Ubuntu family of Linux distros command in
+last column):
+
+File type                   | Requirements                     | Installation
+----------------------------|----------------------------------|-------------------------------
+Syntax highlighting of text | `bat`                            | `apt install bat`
+PDFs                        | `pdftotext`                      | `apt install poppler-utils`
+LibreOffice                 | `odt2txt`                        | `apt install odt2txt`
+MS docx                     | `docx2txt`                       | `apt install docx2txt`
+MS pptx                     | `unzip`                          | `apt install unzip`
+MS xlsx                     | `ssconvert`                      | `apt install gnumeric`
+MS doc/xls/ppt              | `catdoc`, `xls2csv` and `catppt` | `apt install catdoc`
+Images                      | `w3m` and `ImageMagick`          | `apt install w3m imagemagick`
+Video (thumbnails)          | `ffmpegthumbnailer`              | `apt install ffmpegthumbnailer`
+
+Install rtfm from scratch with all of the above on Ubuntu:
+```
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install ruby-full git libncurses-dev x11-utils xdotool bat poppler-utils odt2txt docx2txt catdoc w3m imagemagick ffmpegthumbnailer
+sudo gem install curses
+git clone https://github.com/isene/RTFM
+cd RTFM
+sudo cp rtfm /usr/bin/
+cp .rtfm.launch ~/
+echo "source ~/.rtfm.launch" >> .zshrc # or .bashrc if you run bash as shell
+```
+
+## Screenshot

+![](img/screenshot.png)
+
+## Image preview in the terminal
+
+RTFM uses w3mimgdisplay (part of the w3m package) to show images in the
+terminal. Some terminals have an issue with this - either the images don't
+show, the previous image is not cleared (new image overlaps the previous) or
+they show for only a flash or a few seconds. The table below shows how the
+most popular terminals fare with this. An "O" indicates that the terminal is
+OK, while an "X" indicates that it fails:
+

+
+
+## A convenient shell function
+Add this line to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` to make RTFM exit to the current
+directory by launching the file manager via `r` in the terminal:
+
+`source ~/.rtfm.launch`
+
+... and place the file `.rtfm.launch` in your home directory.
+
+With this, you can jump around in your directory structure via RTFM, exit to
+the desired directory, do work in the terminal and go back into RTFM via `r`.
+
+
+## Configuration file
+When you first exit RTFM, it will write your (book)marks and the set of tagged
+files to `.rtfm.conf`. This ensures your marks and tagged files are
+persistent. It also means you can launch rtfm tag a bunch of dirs and files,
+drop out back to the terminal to do some work, back into rtfm and resume to
+work with your previously tagged items.
+
+You can also set persistent variables in the config file manually. At the top
+of `.rtfm.conf` you can set the following:
+
+To have long info per item: `@lslong = true` (this is otherwise set to `false`)
+
+To show hidden files: `@lsall = "-a"` (this is otherwise set to `""`)
+
+To set any additional 'ls' switches, set the variable `@lsuser`. To not list
+any files containg the word "test", you could do this:
+```
+@lsuser = "--ignore=test"
+```
+
+To change the default width of the left pane to something other than ⅓rd of
+the terminal width: `@width = 5` (would set the left pane width to ⅕th).
+
+To add borders in RTFM: `@border = true`
+
+To have some commands already prepared for the command history, you can set:
+```
+@history = ["cat /home/me/MyTodo.txt", "neofetch --stdout"]
+```
+To open files with `run-mailcap` instead of `open-xdg` set:
+```
+@runmailcap = true
+```
+
+These variables that you manually add to the top of the config files are
+undisturbed by launching and exiting RTFM.
+
+You can also use `W` inside of RTFM to write all the parameters mentioned
+above to the config file - instead of adding them manually.
+
+To exit RTFM without writing any changes to you marks or list of tagged items,
+exit with `Q`. They will then remain the same as when you launched RTFM for
+that session.
+
+
+## Extra info
+The top line shows information about the currently item in the left pane. When
+you are at a file, the information is pretty self explanatory:
+
+`Path: /home/geir/RTFM/README.md (-rw-rw-r-- 6,0K)`
+
+This shows the full path of the selected file as well as the permissions and
+the size of the file. When you are at a directory in the left pane, you get
+two numbers in brackets. The first number is the number of regular dirs/files
+in that directory. The second shows the total number of entries, including the
+hidden directories and files:
+
+`Path: /home/geir/RTFM (drwxrwxr-x 4,0K) [4 8]`
+
+Different file types may have extra self explanatory information included in
+square brackets at the end of the top info line. Image files will have the
+size of the image included while pdf files will have the number of pages. More
+file specific information will be included when I feel like adding such.
+
+## Screencast
+[![RTFM screencast](/img/screenshot-logo.png)](https://youtu.be/ANUOlDryUng)
+
+
+## Development
+I don't expect this program to be used by others. I do this for my own
+enjoyment and because I want a file manager that fits my needs better than any
+others I have found. If you come up with a feature request I feel is cool, I
+may include it. Bug reports are always welcome.
+
+A note to developers: You can hit the "@" key to enter the Ruby debug mode
+where anything you enter in the bottom command window will be sent to the Ruby
+eval() function and output to the right pane. You can for instance issue
+`puts @searched` to see the currently active search pattern.
