Using terminal programs to provide Linux desktop components

|
Power users of terminals on Linux also often like to use bare bones window
|
|
managers instead of full fledged desktop environments. This kitten helps
|
|
provide parts of the desktop environment that are missing from such setups,
|
|
and does so using keyboard friendly, terminal first UI components. Some of its
|
|
features are:
|
|
|
|
* Replace the typical File Open/Save dialogs used in GUI programs with the
|
|
fast and keyboard centric :doc:`choose-files </kittens/choose-files>` kitten
|
|
running in a semi-transparent kitty overlay.
|
|
|
|
* Allow simple command line based management of the desktop color scheme
|
|
light/dark modes.
