DESCRIPTION

Rover is a text-based light-weight frontend for update-alternatives, which is inspired by the ranger file browser. Compared to existing graphical frontends such as galternatives and kalternatives, Rover still has the following advantages:

1. User doesn't need to move hand off the keyboard.

2. Zero GUI overhead, and not bound to graphical environment.

3. Supports searching by substring or Python regex.
