Michel de Graaf 0cacc8cc10 refactor(tui): one page window and one filter editor for every list
Four panes had grown the same dance around ratatui's table: clamp the
selection, take the visible page, hand the table a page-local state,
keep the page start. It is now page_window and render_page in a paging
module beside page_of, and the two popups page by the same count they
draw, tab bar or header included.

Five typed filters had grown the same key handling too. edit_filter now
takes a key for all of them, which also stops a control or alt chord
from typing its letter into a filter, stops Enter, which keeps a filter,
from resetting the view it is over, and lets the results and room-list
filters page like the others. Their titles and the typing shortcuts
come from one place as well.

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.
