I'm pleased to announce the XYZCommander version 0.0.3!
XYZCommander is a pure console visual file manager.
Main features:
* Tight integration with python run–time system — most of the
settings can be changed "on the fly" using management console.
* Powerful configuration system - define own actions, aliases,
internal commands, key bindings.
* Extensible plug-in system - even core functionality implemented
mainly using plug–ins, keeping base system small and clean.
* Events & hooks subsystem - a flexible way of reacting on certain
system events.
* Customizable look-n-feel - every widget component look can be
changed using skins.
* Unicode support
