Drives

An Omarchy bar widget for managing drives — mount, unmount, eject, and open removable storage from the panel.

Features

• Lists all labeled/mounted drives (skips system partitions like root, boot, swap, zram)
• Click any drive row:
  • Mounted → opens in the file manager
  • Unmounted → mounts (password prompt if needed) and opens automatically — no second click
• Press t on any drive:
  • Mounted → opens terminal at the mountpoint
  • Unmounted → mounts (password prompt if needed) then opens terminal at the mountpoint
• Search mode: press / to activate search, type to filter drives live by label, display name, device, or mountpoint (e.g. f: for Local F: / F:)
• Keyboard navigation (key mode, press Esc to enter):
  • ↑/↓ — navigate list
  • Enter — open highlighted drive (mounts first if needed)
  • t — open in terminal (mounts first if unmounted)
  • m — mount selected drive
  • u — unmount selected drive
  • e — eject selected drive (power-off removable drives)
  • p — pin/unpin drive to top of list
  • / — enter search mode
  • Esc — exit search mode or close popup
• Top result always highlighted: on popup open and as search results change; theme-aware accent colors for selection
• Eject vs Unmount distinction:
  • USB/external drives show ⏏ (eject) button → powers off the entire drive after unmount
  • Internal drives show × (unmount) button → unmounts filesystem only
• Right-click the bar icon to rescan, middle-click to open first mounted drive
• Live updates on plug/unplug via udev
• Usage bars with percentages (urgent color at ≥90%)
• Configurable refresh interval (default 5s, set via shell.json)
• Pin drives to top of list with p shortcut
