proj-pickr

Simple folder picker dialogue meant to run on terminal startup.

Usage

proj-pickr <directory>

Lists the subfolders of <directory> and lets you pick one:

Key	Action
↑ / ↓	Move the selection
Enter	Select the highlighted folder — prints its full path to stdout
q	Quit without selecting anything

Run with no argument (or more than one), and it prints a usage message and exits with status 1. If <directory> has no subfolders, it prints No subfolders. and exits with status 1.

proj-pickr only ever prints the final selected path to stdout — the interactive menu itself is drawn on stderr — so it composes with command substitution (see the fish wrapper below).

Building

./build.sh
install -Dm755 "proj-pickr" "$HOME/.local/bin/proj-pickr"

for it to switch folders correctly it needs to be linked up with the terminal. Here is an example for the fish terminal:

function pp
    set dir (proj-pickr $argv)
    if test -n "$dir"
        cd $dir
    end
end
