nlay
nlay
(NnnpLAY) is a customizable media type or action handler
Usage
nlay
is not used by nnn
now. However, the bash script can be used to run desktop search utility or screensaver:
nlay file type
file: absolute path to file ("" for an action)
type: type of media or action
Default apps
- gnome-search-tool, catfish - file search
- vlock - terminal screensaver (alternatives - cmatrix, termsaver)
Perks
- simple to modify (extensive in-file notes, comments and indicative code)
- handle files by category (e.g. plaintext, search, screensaver)
- support for multiple apps by order of preference
- run app in the foreground or silently detached in the background
- optionally add app arguments
Tips to modify
- set
app=
in any category to change the player - set
opts=
to use app options - toggle
bg=
to enable or disable running app silently (stdout
andstderr
redirected to/dev/null
) in background. E.g., vim (CLI) should be verbose and in the foreground while Sublime Text (GUI) can be started silently in the background. - enable the commented out code under
ENABLE_FILE_TYPE_HANDLING
to handle specific file extensions e.g. use a different app than the one used for the category.
