# clecta

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/awidegreen/clecta.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/awidegreen/clecta)

This is yet another port of [garybernhardt/selecta](https://github.com/garybernhardt/selecta) in C++ using Ncurses for the terminal window. UTF-8 is supported.

Despite the fact that there are already a whole lot of selecta alternatives ([fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf), [icepick](https://github.com/felipesere/icepick)),

I decided to write a clone to further explore C++11 (e.g. threads). 

In addition, I have never done anything with ncurses before.

### Some features

* highlight matching string in match list

* switch case sensitivity for search `F2`

* multiple matchers (Simple string matcher, CmdT matcher): `F3`

* status-line shows some stats about the candidates

* resize support

* depending on the hardware, matching algorithm is executed concurrent

![Demo](https://raw.github.com/awidegreen/clecta/master/demo.gif)

### Keys

* `Home` go to the beginning match list

* `End` go to the beginning match list

* `F2` toggle case-sensitivity

* `F3` switch the matcher

* `Arrow-Up` and `Arrow-Down` for selecting string from match list 

* `^U` Empty search term

* `^N` alias for `Arrow-Down`

* `^P` alias for `Arrow-Up`

### to be done 

* move matcher in its own (static) library

* ability to load matcher via a library (plugin)

* add more key bindings, see [readline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29#Keyboard_shortcuts)

* `cmake` installation target

* make coloring adjustable (via config file)

### Examples

```

# Use find to get a list of all files, use clecta to select the desired file which shall be opened with vim

vim $(find . | clecta)

```

### Dependencies

* Ncurses

### Installation

```

git clone https://github.com/awidegreen/clecta 

mkdir clecta/build

cd clecta/build

cmake ..

make

# or use: make -j`nproc`

```

### Tests

In the build directory, use:

* the *test* target: `make test` or

* run the tests manually: `tests/clecta-tests`
