Author of `nnn` here. It would really help if you let us know what you are looking for in a file manager. `nnn` is under active development for more than a year now and we are very open to constructive feedback and feature requests.
- p4bl0 8y agoI actually don't know what I'm looking for. I'm quite happy without one. It just feels strange as file managers seems to be most people main entry point to their computer.
- jasim 8y agotwo of my most used shell commands are "j" (https://github.com/wting/autojump https://github.com/wting/autojump) and "fd" (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) Autojump makes it easy to quickly jump into any directory I've visited and then I can open my editor or Finder (file explorer) from there. Would be great if I can be inside nnn and jump to directories using autojump. fd is very useful when I want to just directly open a file. I might be in a project's root directory and I'd want to edit a file a few levels nested. Currently I either use fd to locate the path of the file, and then copy paste it into the shell. If `fd` is combined with nnn, I can type in a few letters of the file I expect, and jump to its parent directory, with the file highlighted. Is this workflow possible in nnn, or can it be written using its scripting?
- apjana 8y agoautojump: `nnn` comes with bookmarks for frequently visited dirs. You can look up the list anytime. fd: `nnn` integrates seamlessly with fzy (another blazing fast C utility).
