getan 3.1

Tree mode

Getan supports a hierarchy of projects. A top level project key has only one character, once you starting using a second character as project key, it will be the next level down in the hierarchy. Example:

a    Top level project
aa   1st second level project
ab   2nd second level project
aba  Third level Project

Use the switch_project_order key which is f2 by default to cycle to the hierarchical view.

Customization

Use ~/.getan/getanrc or the system-wide /etc/getanrc to customize keys and colors. See getan/config.py for the recognized options. Example:

[keybindings]
# changes the insert function to be activated by the `)` key
insert: )

[theme]
header: light green, dark green
body: light green, black
