We already have icons for ls | grid --color

We already have icons for ls | grid --color

cool!!!But consider supporting material icons or atom icons for ls.I think ls | grid --color is a little bit of inconvenient.

ls | grid --color is a little bit of inconvenient.

which is why I have an alias like alias lsg = (ls | sort-by type name -i | grid -c)

When I try ls | grid -c, I get ? inside a box instead of icons. How do I get the icons to appear in Windows 10/Terminal 1.13/Nushell 0.65?

You need to use a font that supports icons like a nerd font. I use Fira Code.

This is cool. Is there a way to format the grid such that it follows the vertical structure seen by ls, exa (e.g. print in vertical representation instead of horizontal)

[fdncred]

@pulanski There is no way right now to add icons to the standard ls table view. However you can make the grid on column like this ls | grid -c -w 30

I cannot see any icons

I search on the doc for "icon" but I've found nothing :)

[fdncred]

You're not using a font with icons. Try using a nerd font.

Is there a way I can get this type of view?

because the best i can get with icons is this which I am not really used to I am used to more of this view above with pwsh and fish

or maybe better icons in the table beside file names?

[fdncred]

We do not have a pwsh dir-like output. ATM icons are only available in grid mode.

How to use it?

and will there be icons in the table output? is there a way i can modify nushell to have the icons in table mode? or make grid mode like pwsh?

[fdncred]

@Felopater-Melika The grid mode examples are above in this issue like ls | sort-by type name -i | grid -c. I realize this is not what you're asking for but it's all that is available right now.
