§ 01 · overview█
pikpak.in thetui
the browser is a lie. pikpaktui brings your cloud drive into the
terminal — three panes, ratatui, miller-column navigation, inline
preview. j/k to move, enter to open, d
to download. no mouse. no modal. no tabs.
miller columns: roots, current directory, live preview of the focused item.
02
vim-style motion. j/k, h/l, enter, q. 26 keys do everything.
03
inline jpeg/png/mkv thumbs in terminals that speak the kitty graphics protocol.
04
download queue lives on disk. kill the process, restart, pick up.
§ 02 · keymap
26 keys, everything.
the whole tui is a finite state machine on top of a keymap. there
are no hidden gestures, no mouse-only corners, no right-click
menus. read this card, you can drive pikpaktui.
