kishi-shell 1.8.2

A powerful, highly modular, Python-based modern shell.

🚀 Kishi Shell (v1.8.0)

Kishi Shell is a next-generation command-line interface built 100% in Python. Without relying on external C or Go binaries, it transforms your standard terminal experience into a fully-fledged Terminal Operating System Interface (TUI). It combines traditional Bash syntax with modern IDE (Code Editor) and System Monitor capabilities natively out of the box.

📥 Installation

Install Kishi Shell system-wide using pip:

pip install --upgrade kishi-shell

Type kishi in your terminal to enter a whole new world!

🔥 Advanced Visual Interfaces (TUI)

Kishi Shell completely negates the need to install third-party tools like Midnight Commander or htop. It ships with zero-latency, 100% Python-rendered visual tools.

1-) Dual-Pane IDE (File Explorer)

Stop reading files in a plain black screen.

• Command: explore (or shortcut Ctrl + E) Kishi splits the screen into two. On the left, it generates a smart Directory Tree that you can navigate using arrow keys (It automatically identifies Python, Text, and Media files with [PY], [TXT], [VID] tags).
• If you hover over a file and press Tab, the right panel instantly transforms into a Fully Functional Text Editor powered by prompt_toolkit.
• The editor works right out of the box! You can instantly type, write your code, and view line numbers on the left margin. Standard keyboard mappings intuitively apply natively.
• You can save your edits instantly using Ctrl + S and quit the interface by pressing Q.

2-) System Monitor (Dashboard)

Monitor your computer's heart in real-time.

• Command: dashboard Running entirely isolated on a Background Daemon Thread, this monitor visualizes your CPU Core Utilization, RAM / SWAP Metrics, Root Storage, and Live Network Traffic (Down/Up). Thanks to its asynchronous architecture, your terminal will never suffer input lag while the dashboard is running.

3-) Fuzzy History Search

No need to install FZF externally to search your bash history.

• Shortcut: Ctrl + R As you type, Kishi filters thousands of your past commands using advanced fuzzy-logic string matching and brings your target command directly to your screen in milliseconds. Press Enter to select and run.

💻 Scripting and Environment Variables

Assigning Variables (export)

You can define new environment variables directly inside Kishi so that native OS binaries can inherit them.

Kishi$ -> export MY_KEY="12345"
Kishi$ -> echo $MY_KEY
12345

Simply type unset MY_KEY to wipe it. If you type export without any arguments, Kishi will print out all currently loaded environment variables.

Build Your Own Commands (myfunc)

If you constantly repeat specific tasks, you can deploy your own Sub-Routines (Functions) straight into Kishi's memory:

Kishi$ -> hello() { echo "Welcome to the system $USER"; ls -l; }
Kishi$ -> hello
Welcome to the system ozhangebesoglu
drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 ...

You can chain multiple complex functions, pipe their outputs (|), use logical chains (&&), or even deploy standard redirectors (>, >>) all within Kishi's powerful Abstract Syntax Tree engine.
