vivid VS lc

I just use good old `ls` with colors set by vivid [1]

Yep! vivid does that.

I came across https://github.com/sharkdp/vivid and thought it was quite nice, but it doesn't change ls colors for anything but the file names. I really like how everything in DT's videos has color output so I was wondering how he did it. Did he use some script or utility or did he configure it from scratch? If it's the latter, is there a resource I can use to learn how to do it? Thanks.

fd is my very first Rust project. In fact, if you go back in (Git) history, the project was originally written in C++. I have created various other Rust command-line tools since then, but I love coming back to fd, as I personally use it the most.

Hello. I made my custom LS_COLORS using very nice tool vivid and it works perfectly well. Now I wonder is it possible to use the same file highlighting when zsh autocompletes files names. For example when I type cp it gives me a "menu" of all files and directories in current folder, but they are all white and I would like it to be in the same style as output of the ls command.

This kind of thing should probably be generalized so that any new parameter can be seamlessly woven into your `ls-like` reports.

https://github.com/c-blake/lc/blob/master/extensions/fe1 does `du`, but you could use `ffprobe` to do the run-time in hours:minutes:seconds for media files (or maybe 0sec for non-media) or numerous other things.

I don't know about all your other questions, but the https://github.com/c-blake/cligen CLI framework seems much lower effort / ceremony than even Rust's `argh` and is just about as old as `clap` (both started 8 years ago in 2015).

There are over 50 CLI utilities at https://github.com/c-blake/bu, many of which do something novel rather than just "re-doing ls/find/cat with a twist". While they are really more an "ls/ps construction toolkits" with some default configs to get people going, I think https://github.com/c-blake/lc and https://github.com/c-blake/procs are nicer than Rust alternatives. I mention these since you seem interested in such tools.

https://github.com/c-blake/lc can do that and more; Indeed you can group "dot directories" differently than "non-dot directories". When I sat down to write `lc` I went through all of exas issues and features and included as much as I felt reasonable.

I never liked the graphical tree mode, though. I prefer packing as much information as possible into small real estate (like cell phone terminal screens).
