Is there a classic explorer mode? That is, I type the first letters of the filename and then it gets selected. 'Enter' to go forward, 'Backspace' to go back.

'f' does something similar, but it's not the same.

I've implemented and often use something almost as good - not quite, but close - called "travel".

It's a little old, so it doesn't do quite what it used to in a few circumstances. However, it works thusly:

• Press key-binding to enter travel mode
• Type to filter dynamically
• When there is only exactly one file left:
• If it is a directory, enter it
• Else, run it (default mode)
• Press TAB to move forward one file
• Press ENTER to run current file, or enter directory
• Press ESC to quit
• If the filter is "..", go back a directory

Entering directories does not quit, but just resets the filter.

This is almost the same, but using 'startswith' instead of 'count'. I also changed the dot behavior to '..'.

In rc.conf (very important whitespace at the end):
map e console explorer

In commands.py:
