Rat: Compose shell commands to build interactive terminal applications

Re:Rat: Compose shell commands to build interactive terminal... by akkartik on Tuesday October 10, 2017 @02:21PM (#15444076)

I'm trying the example from the Readme, but running:

  $ rat --mode files --cmd 'ls -al'

..doesn't actually seem to be reading my .ratrc file. The command behaves the same whether I have a .ratrc or not. Is anybody else able to hit enter to preview a file? I'm on a Mac.

Also on a Mac. File preview works when .ratrc is present, otherwise just a file list and selector. Are you sure it's at ~/.config/rat/.ratrc ?

If it is in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, why name the file with a leading dot? To me, that's a bit confusing.

Ah, that was my mistake. Thanks!
