Tested with Python 2.7/3.2/3.4\n\n## Why I write it?\n\nAt first, I always switch between `man find` and `find: missing argument to '-exec'` or other stuff, when trying to make find(1) work.\nTherefore, I wrote a checklist, to make life easier. \nFrom then on, I always switch between the checklist and `find ...` to make find(1) work correctly.\nAt least I saved myself from typing `man find`.\n\nFinally, I couldn't bear it anymore. So this tool, which I hope to solve the problem met, is created.\n\nIt is a terminal UI wrapper, so it can be used in both desktop environment and remote server.\n\n## Who will be interested in it?\n\nGuys uses find(1) in terminal sometimes and feel it too complex to work with, like me. \n\n## How to use it?\n\n### install via pip\n\nDownload it via pip\n\n```\n[sudo] pip install findtui\n```\n\nThen just run it with `findtui`:\n\n![findtui](images/findtui.png)\n\n### install manually\n\n```\ncd somewhere\n# clone and checkout latest tag\ngit clone https://github.com/spacewander/find \u0026\u0026 git checkout $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))\n[sudo] pip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\nAdd this line to your shell configuration: `alias findtui somewhere/find/main.py`.\nYou can alias it as `find`, too. However, if you do this in zsh, zsh will refuse to provide argument completion for `find`. Zsh hates cheat.\nThis is not a problem in bash, since bash doesn't provide special completion for find.\n\nThat's all. Now you can run it with `findtui`.\n\n### Features\n\n1. zsh like auto-completion\n\n    [![auto-completion](https://asciinema.org/a/19793.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/19793)\n  \n2. choose your options with terminal UI\n  \n    [![options](https://asciinema.org/a/19794.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/19794)\n\n3. terminal shortkeys\n\n    [![shortkeys](https://asciinema.org/a/19795.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/19795)\n  \n    Currently supported shortkeys:\n\n    | key name        | default value    | desceiption |\n    | ----------------|-------------   | ----------- |\n    | JUMP_TO_MENUS   | ctrl n         | jump to menus |\n    | JUMP_TO_OPTIONS | ctrl o         | jump to options panel|\n    | JUMP_TO_COMMAND | ctrl e         | jump to command input |\n    | TRIGGER_COMPLETITION | tab       | trigger completion |\n    | RUN_KEY | ctrl r, enter         | run the command |\n    | EXIT_KEY | q, Q, ctrl d         | quit |\n\n    You can use environment variable to specific them, like `RUN_KEY='shift meta c' findtui`.\n\n4. support both GNU version and BSD version\n\n5. show examples for frequently-used options\n\n    ![example](images/example.png)\n\n## More idea?\n\nIf you have any ideas to make this tool more useful/efficient, don't hesitate in sending a pr or opening an issue.\n\n## Changelog\n\nSee [Changelog](Changelog.md)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspacewander%2Ffind","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fspacewander%2Ffind","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspacewander%2Ffind/lists"}
