Little command line reader application for the Atari Portfolio address file format. While intended to store addresses, it is a neat little key/value database and can be used to store all kinds of information. Many Portfolio users stored other things in it, for example command references, notes or task lists.
The application mimics the hot keys and modes of the Address application on the
Atari Portfolio. It has two modes: Initially the list of all database entries is
presented. When an entry is selected via the cursor keys, pressing [Enter]
switches to the selected page. Hitting [Escape] returns you to the list. Press
it again to leave the application.
press [Enter]
┌─────────┐---------------->┌─────────┐
│line mode│ │page mode│
└─────────┘<----------------└─────────┘
press [Escape]
Keys in line mode:
[Cursor Up]selects previous entry[Cursor Down]selects next entry[Enter]switches to page mode and displays selected entry[Escape]closes the application
Keys in page mode:
[Page Up]selects previous entry[Page Down]selects next entry[Escape]switches to list mode
The application is written in Rust 🦀 and you need
to have cargo and rustc installed to build it. Example:
