Customizations and/or options/flags

[RobertAudi]

It would be great if one could customize the behavior / looks of k. Here are some aspects that I would personally like to tweak without hacking the script directly:

• Verbosity
  • In some cases, I would like to hide some of the info (e.g.: the permissions, ownership and modification date and time).
  • Also, I think k should mimic the behaviour of ls -Al instead of ls -al (do not show . and ..) (Same as emulate -A and -h ls flags #21)
• Looks
  • Colors (potentially)
  • Looks (e.g.: representation of the git status)

The customizations should be applied either via options on the command line (which would enable the use of aliases) or environment variables.

@RobertAudi I'm currently attempting to rewriting k to work in bash, and CLI flags are something that I'm planning to implement so k has similar (hopefully the same) options as ls.

Regarding customising the representations of git status, what did you have in mind?

[RobertAudi]

@chrstphrknwtn Not sure about the git status representation. But I think it should definitely be made more clear. Maybe symbols or letters to mimic git status --porcelain (?)

I realize your comment was close to four years ago but did you ever port this to bash? If not, could you tell me what were the main challenges that stopped that? Wondering how do-able it is.

From memory I think it was to do with how bash handles (or doesn’t handle at all) arrays.
