Harbor

Harbor File Manager

A keyboard-first, dual-pane file manager with inline previews.

• Launch: python3 apps/Harbor/main.py or Ctrl+Alt+H
• Memory target: ~30 MB
• UI: PySide6 (single file, ~720 lines)

Overview

Harbor is built for speed with the keyboard. Two synchronized FilePanes sit side by side; a FilePreview pane shows text/code inline (up to 1 MB) or binary metadata for larger files.

Features

• Dual-pane navigation — two independent panes with path bars, lazy-loaded directory trees, back/forward/up navigation, type-colored entries, and context menus.
• Vim-style keys — navigate without leaving the keyboard.
• Preview pane — inline text/code preview for files ≤ 1 MB, binary metadata otherwise.
• Archive support — create .zip / .tar.gz archives using stdlib zipfile + tarfile.
