Why fork?

nnn was initially forked from noice but is significantly different today. I chose to fork because:

  • one can argue my approach deviates from the goal of the original project - keep the utility suckless. noice was rudimentary. In my opinion evolution is the taste of time.
  • I would like to have a bit of control on what features are added in the name of desktop integration. A feature-bloat is the last thing in my mind. See the design notes for more details.

v1.0 was released on 13 Apr, 2017.

nnn vs. noice

Original (noice) features

  • Super-easy navigation
  • Pre-defined associations for different file types
  • Jump to home directory
  • Filter contents in current directory
  • Show/hide hidden files
  • Sort entries by modification time (newest to oldest)
  • Spawn a SHELL in current directory (fallback sh)
  • Run top
  • Edit a file with EDITOR (fallback vi)
  • Page through a file in PAGER (fallback less)

nnn is under active development and new capabilities are being added continuously. To have a more recent overview of the current features in nnn please visit the features list in the project homepage and the ToDo list.
