Summary

The navigel package is a library that makes it simpler for Emacs Lisp developers to define user-interfaces based on tablists (also known as tabulated-lists). Overriding a few (CL) methods and calling `navigel-open' is all that's required to get a nice UI to navigate your domain objects (files, music library, database, etc.).

Navigel displays "entities" in a tablist. An "entity" is whatever you want that has a name. If an entity defines some "children", then pressing RET on the entity will list its children in another tablist.

Some features of navigel include:

• pressing RET on an entity lists the entity's children in another tablist;

• pressing ^ opens the parent of the current entity;

• pressing m marks the entity at point;

• pressing d deletes the marked entities.

This package depends on tablist to get support for marking and more.

Usage

This code is a library and is meant for Emacs Lisp developers. The source code is well documented and organized in sections. Please have a look at it.

Please have a look at the examples/navigel-examples-fs.el file for an example on how to use the library. This file guides the reader through an implementation of a tablist-based directory navigator with support for marking and deleting:
