far2l ecosystem

[unxed]

Let's make something like wiki page here on github with links to all projects related to far2l. One of main advantages of Far for Windows was rich ecosystem, and I see no reason why far2l should have lesser possibilities to have a wider one (actually ecosystem already exists and growing, even although main project still declared as alpha). As we have no wiki page (or something like plugring ;) yet, let's start right here.

Macros A collection of keyboard macros for Linux port of FAR v2: https://github.com/corporateshark/far2l-macros, useful for example if you use a MacBookPro 13" keyboard, which doesn't have keys such as Ins.

Plugins GVFS plugin (rich set of network protocols supported): https://github.com/cycleg/far-gvfs FUSE plugin (sshfs usage simplified): https://github.com/unxed/far2l-fuse editwrap plugin port: https://github.com/unxed/far2l-EditWrap (good example of rather simple plugin porting) Lua plugin: https://github.com/shmuz/LuaFAR-2L sample plugin in FreePascal: https://github.com/unxed/far2l-fpc-helloworld

Compatible apps putty4far2l - putty fork with far2l terminal extensions (all hotkeys, clipboard): https://github.com/unxed/putty4far2l kitty - terminal with far2l extensions also supported: https://github.com/cyd01/KiTTY Far2lRestore - imports Windows Far .reg settings to far2l: http://alter.org.ua/ru/soft/linux/far2l_reg/

I'm thinking about migrating coloring palettes from pseudoregistry into ini file to improve startup speed for poor macos users (see #910 ). Is that a big issue> i know there're reg-based themes distributed somewhere...

[elfmz]

For now its about stuff in REG/HKU/c/k-Software/k-Far2/k-Colors/k-Highlight

updated my themes with .ini files for highlights. don't know about other themes 🤷‍♂️

[elfmz]

seems coloring themes gonna move again, something frightening ripens at config.ini branch..

[unxed]

wow, a war on pseudo registry

[elfmz]

aha, and winner will take away https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/blob/master/far2l/registry.cpp

Small request. If ini file(s) have been changed in far2l's editor, reload the configuration when closing the editor. Or at least not overwrite ini(s) when exiting far2l, even if "automatically save settings" option is enabled.

[elfmz]

Not sure if its possible with feasible effort

dark theme updated for recent far2l changes (registry elimination, etc) https://github.com/unxed/far2l-deb/blob/master/themes/default_dark.tar.gz https://github.com/unxed/far2l-deb/blob/master/themes/default_dark_smarty.tar.gz

Portable build. Works even on CentOS 7 :) Only one executable: you just upload it to almost any "shared" hosting, and run. TTY-only as intended for remote use. SMB in NetRocks refuses to work properly in portable mode, so no SMB also.

https://github.com/unxed/far2l-deb/tree/master/portable

Build scrips also published (see howtobuild.txt).

Should run on CentOS 7+, Ubuntu 14.04+, Debian 9+, Amazon Linux 2+ and almost any supported distro :)

Installation script for Oracle Linux (tested on aarch64)

install_far2l_aarch64_oracle_linux.tar.gz

Sorry, no wx, no libarchive, no samba, no webdav. Also python needs some manipulations by hands, see #1164. All other stuff works as expected.

Portable version for aarch64 (even with webdav and libarchive!): https://github.com/unxed/far2l-deb/blob/master/portable/far2l_portable_aarch64.tar.gz

RPM spec of far2l (Linux port of FAR Manager v2).

[unxed]

A book about Ruby development mentions far2l as recommended file manager:

There are some other flavors of file managers. However, Far Manager is so useful tool, so programmers have ported this manager to Linux and MacOS. You can find setup instructions by following the link above, but we’ll cover it here for MacOS

far2l built with wxQt

wxWidgets over qt? Looks little bit weird :), whats point of such configuration?

Sample far2l plugin written in Pascal (builds with Free Pascal Compiler). Maybe helpful for porting Pascal plugins, as it has PluginW.pas module updated for far2l plugin API changes and also Windows.pas with some required WinAPI constants and structures that FPC do not offer by default.

far2l extensions support merged to mainline KiTTY

А что нужно сделать (включить\настроить), чтобы воспользоваться новой функциональностью? Пробовал версию 0.76.0.8 с сайта https://www.fosshub.com/KiTTY.html, ничего не получилось.
