@jarun Few changes:
Makefile: O_NOIND (true/false) macro
icons.h: nerd icons (C header files etc)
nnn.h: I added two shortcuts (Insert, Delete keys)
nnn.c: following color-pairs are defined
DEFAULT -> idx 0
[1..CTX_MAX] -> idx 1..4
[C_BLK..C_UND]
[C_BLK..C_UND] selected
[1..C_ICONS_MAX]
[1..C_ICONS_MAX] selected
DEFAULT selected

selected file is displayed with COLOR_SEL backcolor (not inverted)

[jarun]

That's quite a few visual changes. I would suggest you maintain your local copy.

[gadefox]

Look at the screenshot please again. I think this looks better then the current approach.

Also the symbol-links have different icon (light blue) etc..

[jarun]

The current one seems more visible to me.

[gadefox]

You can change color w/ NNN_COLORS. Whatever, I'm using the vim and this is how the app displays selected items. It's a standard.
