Quick comment on color - it might be helpful to have a toggle to switch from dark to light terminals. ls uses an environment variable to permit changing the color map - that may be overkill - but a toggle for light vs dark background might be nice. gene

​Shouldn't a terminal configuration use colors that are always readable on the default background color anyway? Then, assuming that you're not overwriting the background color, the only two colors you should avoid are black and white. All the other colors should be fine. Instead of setting the foreground color to black/white you should just use the default foreground color, possibly bold. I assume this is already the case for pacman. -- Maarten​
