Files, bookmarks & tabs

Moving around

• j / k move; l descends into a directory (it becomes the new root), h goes to the parent; Enter expands/collapses in place.
• / filters the tree as you type — Enter keeps the filter, Esc clears it.
• . toggles dotfiles; s opens the sort menu (name/size/modified/extension, reverse, dirs-first); i pops up file info; r refreshes.
• ui.details = ["size", "modified"] adds metadata columns to every row.

File operations — Space

All file management sits behind the Space leader (a menu shows the options):

• n create (end with / for a directory), r rename, d delete.
• c copy / x cut / p paste.
• Deletions go to the system trash after a confirmation dialog — nothing is ever destroyed silently. Renames of multiple selected files open a batch preview before applying.
• v starts a visual range selection; V toggles selection on one entry. Operations then apply to the whole selection.

Bookmarks — m and '

vim-style marks with two scopes: lowercase = local to the directory you launched in, uppercase = global across everything.

• m + a letter bookmarks the tree cursor item — or, inside a preview, the file you are viewing.
• ' opens the bookmark list immediately (local and global sections; global entries show absolute ~/... paths). Press a letter to jump: directories become the new root, files open as previews. Ctrl-e edits the selected entry’s file directly, Ctrl-d deletes the bookmark, q closes.
• Anchors: a re-anchors relative-path display to the current root, A resets it to the launch directory.

Tabs

• t new tab, [ / ] switch, 1-9 jump by number; closing is q on the tree (w is deliberately unbound — vim word-motion muscle memory).
• T opens the tab list from any screen: Enter/digits switch, d closes the selected tab, q/Esc closes the list. When tabs overflow the bar, a window centered on the active tab is shown with ‹n / n› overflow markers.
• Each tab keeps its own root, cursor, preview and scroll state.
• q on the tree closes the current tab (quitting the app when it’s the last one); Q quits from anywhere, with a confirmation (ui.confirm_quit).

Copying paths — y

y opens the copy menu for the selected entry (or the previewed file):

Key	Copies
n	file name
r	relative path
f	full path
p	parent directory
@	@relative/path — an AI-agent reference

Delegating edits — e

konoma deliberately has no built-in editor. e opens the file in your editor ([editor] config → $VISUAL → $EDITOR → vim), per-extension overrides included, and returns to the preview with the content refreshed when you quit.
