rover - text-based light-weight frontend for update-alternatives

rover [-h] [-e|--expression EXPRESSION] [-v|--version]

Rover is a text-based light-weight frontend for update-alternatives, which is inspired by the ranger file browser. Compared to existing graphical frontends such as galternatives and kalternatives, Rover still has the following advantages:

1. User doesn't need to move hand off the keyboard.

2. Zero GUI overhead, and not bound to graphical environment.

3. Supports searching by substring or Python regex.

You can search by the name of an alternative, the mode, or the actual path of a candidate at left pane.
