- Keyboard navigation (arrow keys + vim bindings)

- Fuzzy search
- Data visualization
- External analysis scripts can be launched on the selected dataset by setting

HDF5 can be built from source and linked statically with the static flag.
Without the static flag, hdf5-metno requires the HDF5_DIR environment variable to find an existing installation.
