Build

./gradlew assembleFossDebug

Install on device:

adb install app/build/outputs/apk/foss/debug/app-foss-debug.apk

Screenshots

Bell Notifications

MiniCode's terminal responds to the BEL character (\a / 0x07) with vibration and/or chime. Toggle the mode via the bell icon in the terminal header bar (cycles: off / vibrate / vibrate+chime).

File Tree Follows Terminal Directory

MiniCode can automatically update the SFTP file tree when you cd in the terminal. Your shell needs to emit OSC 7 after each command:

bash — add to ~/.bashrc:

__minicode_osc7() {
    printf '\e]7;file://%s%s\a' "$HOSTNAME" "$PWD"
}
PROMPT_COMMAND="__minicode_osc7${PROMPT_COMMAND:+;$PROMPT_COMMAND}"

zsh — add to ~/.zshrc:

chpwd() {
    printf '\e]7;file://%s%s\a' "$HOST" "$PWD"
}
