But it exists by default, or at least very close to what you are
describing.
I use KDE as my desktop environment. The Konqueror browser does that
(i.e. you get all the tree structure at the left - by default at least - and
you can
browse the directories. Now if your text files are in a given directory,
select that dir in the left section, so that it opens and that you see your
text files. A single click to any file opens the file (be it text, a tar
erchive,
a zip file (as long as you have zip installed), etc...)
I am not sure, but probably it exists in GNOME as well.
As for the text file only, I don't remember, but I guess you have
scrollbars
and search features, otherwise I would have noticed.
By the way, I have never been able to configure the font to browse
text files, and that's why I use the good old emacs. Does anybody know how to
configure Konqueror so that it displays with a larger font?
Konqueror's settings or preferences menus do ot have any influence
on the text browsing font. Probably because Konqueror borrows an external
editor. I have tried to set the font of the editors around, but no way...
