Hotwire

Details

Hotwire project is intended to replace the interactive command execution portion of a typical Unix shell.
It includes much of the functionality found in the combination of a terminal emulator, a shell, and core utilities like ls and grep. Most of the commands are named the same, and do basically the same thing. Where it makes sense, Hotwire improves the commands to have better defaults and makes things nicer by using the mouse, and so on.
For example, rm moves files to ~/.Trash on Unix and Recycle Bin on Windows, cd automatically lists the contents of the directory you change to, ls links are clickable (view file or cd to directory), filter (analogous to Unix grep) shows matching text in bold, and the ps process list has right-click menu for killing.
Here are some key features of "Hotwire":
· A primary replacement for gnome-terminal/xterm + /bin/sh for developers and system administrators (HotwireVsBinSh)
· Somewhat like Windows PowerShell, but graphical (HotwireVsPowerShell)
· Also a little like MacOS X Automator, but text based
· Free Software and runs on Linux (with GNOME) and Windows (HotwireWindows)
· Written in Python
Requirements:
· GTK+ version 2.6.x
· pyGTK
What's New in This Release:
· Internal line processing now includes newlines. ~/.bash_history is imported.
· Non-UTF8 locales can be handled.
· Sorting is done by the file renderer.
· The "apply" builtin was added.
· The "view" builtin was added, which launches an editor in read-only mode.
· "kill" now optionally takes Process objects as input.
· "rm" has a new --unlink option to really delete.
