tui-explorer

Overview ¶

tui-explorer is the reference interactive demo for tui.App: a small k9s-style file-browser mockup composed entirely from the exported cell-native widgets in the tui package. The layout is

+-----------------------------------------------------+
| MenuBar: File / View / Help                         |
+----------------------+------------------------------+
| ListBox              | TextEditor (read-only)       |
| (flat file list)     | (syntax-highlighted preview) |
|                      |                              |
+----------------------+------------------------------+
| Statusbar: q: quit  ?: help  /: search  ...         |
+-----------------------------------------------------+

The chrome — MenuBar, anchored MenuDropdowns, the HSplit sidebar, the help/search Popovers, and the header/body/footer VBox — are all tui.* library widgets; the demo owns only the wiring (which file maps to which preview) and the key bindings.

Keys wired into App.Keys:

q, Ctrl+C  → Quit
?          → toggle help popover
/          → toggle search popover
Enter      → sync selected list row into the preview
