Usage

Interactive mode

Running animfetch with no flag - the pinned fetch with its own prompt, and its keys.

With no mode flag, animfetch pins the fetch at the top and runs its own prompt below it. Your commands run, and their output scrolls in the region under the fetch.

sh
animfetch

This is a launcher with a prompt, not a shell. There are no aliases, no history and no completion. cd and exit are handled internally; everything else runs under $SHELL -c.

If you want the fetch above your real shell, use --pin.

Keys#

KeyAction
<text> EnterRun the command, output appears below the fetch
Ctrl-CInterrupt a running command; at an idle prompt, quit
EscQuit
Ctrl-DQuit, when the line is empty
Ctrl-UClear the line
Ctrl-WDelete the last word

Live rows#

Interactive mode honours live: with it on, uptime, memory, swap and disk keep updating, and pause while a full-screen program such as vim has the terminal.
