- Case-insensitive alphabetic content listing instead of upper case first
- Roll over at the first and last entries of a directory (with Up/Down keys)
- Sort entries by file size (largest to smallest)
- Shortcut to invoke file name copier (set using environment variable `NOICE_COPIER`)
- File associations
- Environment variable `NOICE_OPENER` to override all associations and open all files with your desktop environments default file opener. Examples:

### Copy current file path to clipboard
noice can pipe the absolute path of the current file to a copier script. For example, you can use `xsel` on Linux or `pbcopy` on OS X.
Sample Linux copier script:
#!/bin/sh
echo -n $1 | xsel --clipboard --input
export `NOICE_OPENER`:
export NOICE_COPIER="/home/vaio/copier.sh"
Start noice and use `Ctrl-k` to copy the absolute path (from `/`) of the file under the cursor to clipboard.
### Change file associations
If you want to set custom applications for certain mime types, or change the ones set already (e.g. vim, fmedia, zathura), modify the `assocs` structure in [config.def.h](https://github.com/jarun/noice/blob/master/config.def.h) (it's easy). Then re-compile and install.
