ComputerCraft Commander

Maybe Not the first two-columned file manager

What is this?
The ComputerCraftCommander is maybe the first two-columned file manager for ComputerCraft. It is orientated at Norton Commander which is a file manager for DOS. The design is not the most beautiful but it should look like the original Norton Commander.

How does this work?
It is quite simple: You have to columns. You can change between these two columns with TAB. Use the arrow keys to move up and down. Press F5 to copy a file from the active column to the inactive column. Press F6 to move a file from the active to the inactive column. You can give it a new file name while using this. Press F7 to create a new folder. Press F8 to delete the selected file or folder. Press F10 to quit. You can also type "exit" and press return to quit.

Screenshot?
Yes, Sir.


Download?
Likewise, Sir.

Well, I can confirm that it isn't the first, but it may be the first one done in color for ComputerCraft. You may want to re-think the color scheme though, that green-on-blue is very low contrast. It would probably be easier to read with white text.

Yes, I already thought about that. I used this color scheme because it looks more like the original Norton Commander but I am already working on a menu where you can change the color scheme.

I like this - big NC user back in the day. I have a couple pieces of feedback for ya...

Mouse selection in each pane (and for the button bar) would be a nice addition.

Would you consider clearing the screen on exit? Right now the exit isn't very elegant. (I don't remember what NC did on exit)

Thanks for this

Thank you for the feedback.
Mouse support is planned.
The original NC by the way exited just to the shell with a little ascii symbol window saying something like "Thanks for using Norton Commander". I could implement that even if it is not very useful, it might make CCC a little bit more like NC.

Thank you for this clone of Norton Commander! Also, can I use it in my OS/Rescue Disk?
