The problem

The CLI file manager ranger was using too much memory for my taste on my humble little server: around 8M out of the 512M.

The solution

Write a simpler file manager, with less features granted, to replace it; currently it's using around 100K to 300K.

Installing / Uninstalling

This program depends on termbox. Make sure to fetch this library before building sheeetfm.

$ sudo make install clean
$ sudo make uninstall

Usage

Open sheeetfm and sheeetfmd in two different terminals (or split tmux panes); browse with hjkl like in vim, or use the arrow keys; input commands with :, namely !<shell command> %s, where %s is the currently selected file, cd <dir>, and s <search term>.

The shortcuts for these are, respectively, !, c and s. You can also return to your home directory with H, list hidden files with ., refresh the file list with r, clean the sheeetfmd pane with ^L, and navigate up and down with ^U and ^D, respectively.
