As someone that spends an inordinate amount of time in LDAP for work, it warms my heart to see this project. Will definitely try it out!

Apache Directory Studio is extremely cumbersome / heavy so this is much appreciated.

We need more TUIs! Love it!

The OP should post this on terminal trove [0] There are lots of TUIs there. [0] https://terminaltrove.com/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're very welcome!

Tested it now somewhat. Some points so far: 1. Installation script doesn't work on Windows. Exit 1 is particularly problematic as it kills the current shell 2. No search on current page vim style (/) or full page up/down J/K 3. On Query page j works but k somewhat scrambless the page in Windows terminal Not sure how seriously you want to support Windows, I could rise tickets on Github

Is it possible to view/edit the "cn=config" tree of OpenLDAP to make configuration changes with this? I often do ldapvi -h ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b 'cn=config' and another tool could be useful.
