Windows

Xylem also builds for Windows (Windows Terminal or the classic console). It passes the automated tests there, but has not been used day to day yet, so expect rough edges. What changes:

• Attributes (A) edits R, H, S and A, as in ZTreeWin: RA sets exactly those, +H -A turns some on or off. The file list shows them as r-sa.
• Hidden files and directories are the ones with the H attribute (a name starting with a dot is an ordinary name).
• eXecute and Edit go through cmd, with names in double quotes. A %NAME% inside a file name is still expanded by cmd.
• The default editor is notepad, O uses start, and Ctrl+B suggests xy-batch.bat (starting with @echo off).
• Deleting a read-only file deletes it, as rm does on Linux.
• Copying symbolic links needs Developer Mode or administrator rights.
• The owner display mode (Alt+F) shows -.
• Configuration in %APPDATA%\xylem\config.toml, history in %LOCALAPPDATA%\xylem\.
• The built-in terminal (Alt+X) runs cmd (%COMSPEC%). Entering it still takes the shell to the tree’s directory, but the tree does not follow the shell’s cds, and there is no $XY_TAGGED.

For Alt+Q in PowerShell, see quitting.
