The search list survives a restart, but a restored query was only ever a reminder: seeing what the network has now meant typing it out again. In the Searches pane, `S` now re-runs the highlighted query in its place — no duplicate row, no reordering — cancelling a run still collecting first and starting the Results display over for what comes back. The key is listed in the shortcut bar, the `?` overlay, the README and the website. `start_search` is split into launching a search and showing it, so both paths share one implementation. A new `tui_e2e` suite drives the real window over a real session against soulfind: keys in, a screen out, a sharing peer on the other end. It restores a query from a previous run's state directory, presses `S`, and checks the peer's file lands on screen — then again once the query has been on the wire, proving a repeat is answered and the display does not stack. To make that possible `MainTui` is exported with `handle_key_event`, `render`, `poll_session` and a `state()` accessor, and CI runs the suite with `SOULSEEK_E2E_REQUIRED=1`. Closes #85
soulseek-rs
A Soulseek client for the terminal: a full-screen TUI, and a one-shot command surface built for scripts and agents.
Website: https://re-invention.nl/soulseek-rs/
Installation
brew install michel/tap/soulseek-rs # macOS and Linux, prebuilt
cargo install soulseek-rs # anywhere with a Rust toolchain
Usage
Run it with no subcommand for the interactive TUI:
soulseek-rs
Anything else is a one-shot command that runs headless. stdout carries records only, stderr carries progress, and the exit code carries the verdict:
soulseek-rs search <QUERY> # print matching files
soulseek-rs get <QUERY> # search, pick the best, download
soulseek-rs download <USER> <PATH> # fetch one known file
soulseek-rs download --stdin # fetch files listed on stdin
soulseek-rs browse <USER> # list a user's shared files
soulseek-rs serve [--follow] # stay online sharing, stream uploads
soulseek-rs whoami # confirm credentials and connection
soulseek-rs user <NAME> # a peer's status and share counts
soulseek-rs room list|say|users|listen
soulseek-rs message send|read
soulseek-rs shares list|add|remove|status|reindex
soulseek-rs config path|list|get|set
soulseek-rs portmap # test automatic port mapping
soulseek-rs completions install # tab completion for bash/zsh/fish
Add --json for newline-delimited JSON instead of tab-separated text, so
commands compose:
soulseek-rs search "rjd2" --json \
| jq -c 'select(.size > 5000000 and .free_slot)' \
| soulseek-rs download --stdin
Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage or config, 3 connect or login, 4 nothing
found, 5 timed out, 6 transfer failed, 7 session lost mid-command, 1
unexpected error.
The full README documents every
command, record shape, flag, environment variable and config.toml key.
