每年年初似乎都有疯狂的冲动想提高工作效率。新年的决心，渴望开启新的一年，当然，“抛弃旧的，拥抱新的”的态度促成了这一切。通常这时的建议严重偏向闭源和专有软件，但事实上并不用这样。


这是我挑选出的 19 个新的（或者对你而言新的）开源工具中的第 15 个工具来帮助你在 2019 年更有效率。


### eDEX-UI


当[《电子世界争霸战》](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron)上映时我才 11 岁。我不能否认，尽管这部电影充满幻想，但它对我后来的职业选择产生了影响。

[eDEX-UI](https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui) 是一款专为平板电脑和台式机设计的跨平台终端程序，它的用户界面受到《电子世界争霸战》的启发。它在选项卡式界面中有五个终端，因此可以轻松地在任务之间切换，以及显示有用的系统信息。


在启动时，eDEX-UI 会启动一系列的东西，其中包含它所基于的 ElectronJS 系统的信息。启动后，eDEX-UI 会显示系统信息、文件浏览器、键盘（用于平板电脑）和主终端选项卡。其他四个选项卡（被标记为 EMPTY）没有加载任何内容，并且当你单击它时将启动一个 shell。eDEX-UI 中的默认 shell 是 Bash（如果在 Windows 上，则可能需要将其更改为 PowerShell 或 cmd.exe）。

更改文件浏览器中的目录也将更改活动终端中的目录，反之亦然。文件浏览器可以执行你期望的所有操作，包括在单击文件时打开关联的应用。唯一的例外是 eDEX-UI 的 `settings.json` 文件（默认在 `.config/eDEX-UI`），它会打开配置编辑器。这允许你为终端设置 shell 命令、更改主题以及修改用户界面的其他几个设置。主题也保存在配置目录中，因为它们也是 JSON 文件，所以创建自定义主题非常简单。

eDEX-UI 允许你使用完全仿真运行五个终端。默认终端类型是 xterm-color，这意味着它支持全色彩。需要注意的一点是，输入时键会亮起，因此如果你在平板电脑上使用 eDEX-UI，键盘可能会在人们看见屏幕的环境中带来安全风险。因此最好在这些设备上使用没有键盘的主题，尽管在打字时看起来确实很酷。

虽然 eDEX-UI 仅支持五个终端窗口，但这对我来说已经足够了。在平板电脑上，eDEX-UI 给了我网络空间感而不会影响我的效率。在桌面上，eDEX-UI 支持所有功能，并让我在我的同事面前显得很酷。

OK
There seems to be a mad rush at the beginning of every year to find ways to be more productive. New Year's resolutions, the itch to start the year off right, and of course, an "out with the old, in with the new" attitude all contribute to this. And the usual round of recommendations is heavily biased towards closed source and proprietary software. It doesn't have to be that way.

Here's the 15th of my picks for 19 new (or new-to-you) open source tools to help you be more productive in 2019.

## eDEX-UI

I was 11 years old when [ Tron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron) was in movie theaters. I cannot deny that, despite the fantastical nature of the film, it had an impact on my career choice later in life.

[eDEX-UI](https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui) is a cross-platform terminal program designed for tablets and desktops that was inspired by the user interface in *Tron*. It has five terminals in a tabbed interface, so it is easy to switch between tasks, as well as useful displays of system information.

At launch, eDEX-UI goes through a boot sequence with information about the ElectronJS system it is based on. After the boot, eDEX-UI shows system information, a file browser, a keyboard (for tablets), and the main terminal tab. The other four tabs (labeled EMPTY) don't have anything loaded and will start a shell when you click on one. The default shell in eDEX-UI is Bash (if you are on Windows, you will likely have to change it to either PowerShell or cmd.exe).

![eDEX-UI file browser eDEX-UI file browser](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/edex-ui-2.png)

Changing directories in the file browser will change directories in the active terminal and vice-versa. The file browser does everything you'd expect, including opening associated applications when you click on a file. The one exception is eDEX-UI's settings.json file (in .config/eDEX-UI by default), which opens the configuration editor instead. This allows you to set the shell command for the terminals, change the theme, and modify several other settings for the user interface. Themes are also stored in the configuration directory and, since they are also JSON files, creating a custom theme is pretty straightforward.

eDEX-UI allows you to run five terminals with full emulation. The default terminal type is xterm-color, meaning it has full-color support. One thing to be aware of is that the keys light up on the keyboard while you type, so if you're using eDEX-UI on a tablet, the keyboard could present a security risk in environments where people can see the screen. It is better to use a theme without the keyboard on those devices, although it does look pretty cool when you are typing.

While eDEX-UI supports only five terminal windows, that has been more than enough for me. On a tablet, eDEX-UI gives me that cyberspace feel without impacting my productivity. On a desktop, eDEX-UI allows all of that and lets me look cool in front of my co-workers.
