Something I've wanted out of ls for a very, very long time, is display of the file-invocation results for each file.

For instance:

> file -bz ~/Downloads/*
PDF document, version 1.4
JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.02, aspect ratio, density 1x1, segment length 16, progressive, precision 8, 1536x2048, frames 3
PDF document, version 1.6
directory
Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract
VAX COFF executable not stripped
VAX COFF executable not stripped
Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
zlib compressed data
WebM
PDF document, version 1.4
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007+

This invocation was blazing-fast on my machine; it seems very reasonable to include this information in k, especially if it's behind an option? (file can be instructed to spit out only the mime-types with --mime-type; this might be the best output format for a columnar-display like k.)

As mentioned in #21, numfmt is not available in OSX, so when running k -h I get:

'numfmt' command not found, human readable output will not work.
    Falling back to normal file size output

BUT numfmt is included in coreutils which I think I got from Homebrew originally (brew install coreutils?). The caveat is that it is named gnumfmt.

Would it be possible for k to look for gnumfmt if numfmt is not available? Or is it just down to me somehow telling my machine where to find it?

I tried alias numfmt='gnumfmt', but that didn't work - I'm guessing because k doesn't have access to that alias?

I'm using papercolor (light theme) on iTerm2 and have just installed k. It seems that k doesn't play nice with light themes.

I'm using OSx with coreutils installed so my ls command should behave as in GNU/Linux.

my full shell config can be seen here.

stat: cannot read file system information for ‘%b~#~%Sp~|~%l~|~%Su~|~%Sg~|~%Z~|~%Sm~|~%N~|~%Y’: No such file or directory
stat: cannot read file system information for ‘%s^%d^%b^%H:%M^%Y’: No such file or directory
k:37: bad floating point constant

I see this on F20 and Ubuntu 13.10. I'm very much a new zsh user so perhaps I am missing some config or dependency?

I got an error, and directories weren't displayed.

So, it looks like any plugin which overrides the cd builtin will break this. (as of #32, at least.)

Any chance of using command cd instead, or similar, so Enhancd and k can coexist?

I noticed that k is order of magnitude slower than ls #28
After a quick reading of the issues seems that the slowliness is from git status.
How i disable the git status check? I'm interested in file size and time only.

First of all: Awesome job with the little script 👏

As much as I love the git integration, it's kind of hard to take advantage of it. What I would expect from such a feature would be to have an instant overview of the state of a repository. Right now the representation is too minimalistic and a bit unclear. I'm still thinking about potential solutions to suggest something, I'll update this issue as soon as I think of something.

on debian sid, i've got errors while running stat command, mine have this man page : http://linux.die.net/man/1/stat

i've got error in french but it looks like "can't read system file information" Any way, regarding the man page, -f and -t are not the good options here.

These don't get marked in anyway in the output. In addition, if these are passed explicitly on the command line, nothing ends up being shown.

Hi,

Your k is an amazing zsh plugin! I appreciate it.
BTW, by using zplug, we can easily install this plugin.

Would you add this installation method to your README?

$ zplug "rimraf/k"

Hi,

Thanks for your plugin, it's amazing.

I noticed a small bug annoying for people having the habit of using cd -. It is used to switch back to the previous directory. Your function is using some cd that are not done in a subshell – not within (...) or $(...) – and because of this the shell keep trace of all visited folders within the function.

To reproduce:

1. Preparation

   mkdir -p ~/TEMPFOLDER
   cd ~/TEMPFOLDER
   mkdir AAA BBB

2. Normal case

   cd ~/TEMPFOLDER
   cd AAA
   cd -  # Go back to TEMPFOLDER
   cd -  # Go back to AAA
   cd -  # Go back to TEMPFOLDER
   cd -  # Go back to AAA
   # Etc...

3. Wrong case

   cd ~/TEMPFOLDER
   cd AAA
   cd -  # Go back to TEMPFOLDER -> OK
   k
   cd -  # Go back to BBB -> not what i want...

I tried to look for correcting it, but the construction of the code doing the cd doesn't allow an easy fix, at least up to my knowledge. I can contribute if needed but before taking time on it I decided to open this issue to discuss the best way to solve it.

Not sure if this is intentional or not, but I'm not sure why this behavior would be desired. Example:

$ k
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryne ryne 0 18 May   15:46   onemorefile.py 
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryne ryne 0 18 May   15:46   somethingelse.py 
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryne ryne 0 18 May   15:45   something.py

$ k *.py
onemorefile.py:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryne ryne 0 18 May   15:46   onemorefile.py 

somethingelse.py:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryne ryne 0 18 May   15:46   somethingelse.py 

something.py:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryne ryne 0 18 May   15:45   something.py 

Can speed be improved? Takes a full 1.35 second to run in in my project root. git status only takes 0.04 second.

First of all, thanks for your work! I really like k.

It would be great to have the chance to define custom colors, with environmental variables, as the predefined ones may not be suitable for every terminal color scheme

Or at least I think it's that option?

If I get some time later I might submit a PR for this

This is what it is on Solarized Light.

I downloaded k.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/supercrabtree/k/master/k.sh -o k.sh

I sourced it:
source /usr/local/bin/k.sh

I sourced my .zshrc file:
source ~/.zshrc

I hit k:

But I have yet to see any profit. Can you indicate how long of an interval there might be between installation and profit? Am I just not waiting long enough? Could you also indicate in which form the profit might occur? Do I need to provide bank account information as an ENV variable to the script?

-A - shows dotfiles but not . and ..
-h - shows "human readable" file sizes

Would be great if I could change sorting options or group directories first.

Title says it all really, I've had a quick look into why this is happening... but not found anything.

The new update is awesome! Thanks to all the contributors.

Everything is working fine, but when it lists directories, it shows what's inside too.
It's not that pretty, but it's working, so that is not that big of a deal.
But the concerning part is that it's occuring because I'm setting my own chpwd() to show the directory contents when moving into a directory. This means that the command will call chpwd() even when we didn't change working directory.

When we use this command, we are listing the directory contents, but not actually changing directories.
So changing directory inside a command, even if going back to the original directory, might cause unexpected things to happen.

I don't quite know how we can work it around though.
Are there any possible solutions for this?

Total files has broken along the way, now just shows 0

MacOS 10.12.2 Russian

Many requests for flag support, so that peeps can use it just like ls

k was working fine for me at first, but at some point it started outputting a bunch of extra junk before each listing...

I can't remember what I did, but I tried different versions of ruby and they're all doing the same thing.

I noticed that k doesn't accept any arguments, even a path. I also often use options like -h and -tr. Would it be possible to pass these arguments through to ls? Thanks :)

We should just call git status once and store the results in a hash. Currently we are calling it once for each file, I think this could reduce the speed problems a lot.

Hi George,

k is a really nice script, but it gets really slow in git repositories. Would it be possible to add an option to disable the git features?

Thanks,
Anton

Would be real nice to port the equivalent of the -t flag in ls to sort by date (most recent last).

Very useful for messy home dirs like mine 😅

First time listing of a directory shows all git repos as clean.

Since I use a compressed btrfs filesystem, it would be nice if I can see file attributes (especially "c") with k.

Hi, nice tool you made here!

It's pretty slow on my setup (which is a pretty beefy Mac), so I was wondering how to identify the slow parts that need some optimization.

See: http://usetapes.com/v/O8cPkGbUBm

k shows the size of directories to be 4.1k
while this is technically correct, it is a little confusing. i would prefer to not see any size of directories (e.g. display a - symbol instead).

I have a directory named -v in my current directory. When I run k, k prints k:zstat:73: bad option: -v and then proceeds to print the directory correctly except for the -v directory. -v is printed as a blank line like this:

-rw-r--r--  1 user group      348 30 Nov  2012   somefile.txt 
-rw-r--r--  1 user group     3740 30 Nov  2012   uneventfulfile.bnk 

drwxr-xr-x  3 user group     4096 20 Nov 13:08   .vim 
-rw-------  1 user group    26730  4 Apr 09:09   .viminfo 

This is using the current master commit a39c13c. Naming a directory -v does work in b6d2084 and has no errors. This makes sense since zstat wasn't used then.

I want to change 'k' to be 'l'.

I would think that alias l='k' would work and it does but I want to also assign k to 'ack' and there are conflicts there. What is the best way to set up an alias for k or change key mapping for k?

Thank you for any help.

I use k to list the files in some directory. It takes 25 sec to finish. I think maybe it is related to the size of git repo. Is it possible to be acceratted?

The repo I used is https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev.

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 #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.

Hi! I'm a newbie to this program.
Thanks for the program! It's awesome.

I found out that this program warns you if you got a file with a bad permission setting, but symlinks don't need that, and besides, I can't chmod the symlinks either.

If you could put a logic before putting out the warning that will be great :)

More colors needed, files should be the same as ls -lah

Fixes for 0.0.4 has broken passing a path to k:

k some/path/elsewhere

If you're outside a git repo, then it works as expected, however if you do it from inside a git repo the results are incorrect.

Correct

From a location that isn't a git repo (works properly)

From inside git repo

k needs tab completion for option flags so a user can type k -<tab> and be presented with options and descriptions.

would you be open to creating a version (or making the current version) compatible with the fish shell?

i love k and it is the only thing I miss since moving from ZSH to fish.
