Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

jupyterlab_file_browser_sorting_extension

v1.0.14

Published

Jupyterlab extension to help with sorting of the files in file browser (i.e. case sensitive sorting)

Readme

jupyterlab_file_browser_sorting_extension

GitHub Actions npm version PyPI version Total PyPI downloads JupyterLab 4 Brought To You By KOLOMOLO

JupyterLab extension that implements LC_COLLATE=C (ASCIIbetical) sorting for the file browser.

Features

  • LC_COLLATE=C sorting - Standard Unix sorting order used by ls with C locale
  • Dot files first - Hidden files (starting with .) appear before other files
  • Uppercase before lowercase - Capital letters (A-Z) sort before lowercase (a-z)
  • ASCII order - Characters sorted by their ASCII code values
  • Toggle via context menu - Right-click in the file browser to enable/disable

Usage

Right-click anywhere in the file browser content area and select "Use Unix-Style Sorting (LC_COLLATE=C)" to toggle the sorting mode. The setting is persisted across sessions.

When enabled, the extension sorts files using the standard Unix C locale collation sequence:

. (dot) -> 0-9 -> A-Z -> _ (underscore) -> a-z

Example sort order:

.hidden
.profile
123file
ABC
Makefile
README
_config
abc
readme
zebra

This matches the behavior of LC_COLLATE=C ls on Unix systems.

Requirements

  • JupyterLab >= 4.0.0

Installation

pip install jupyterlab_file_browser_sorting_extension

Uninstall

pip uninstall jupyterlab_file_browser_sorting_extension
