Author of `nnn` here. I'm not very familiar with MC (sorry about that) as I don't use it so can't provide a meaningful/unbiased feature comparison. However, you can find the list of features in `nnn` here: https://github.com/jarun/nnn#features https://github.com/jarun/nnn#features
In addition, last night I added a vim plugin to use `nnn` as a file picker within vim.
- YeGoblynQueenne 8y agoThank you for your reply, and no worries for not being familiar with mc. I addressed the question generally to HN, hoping for some feedaback from anyone who happens to have used both. EDIT: One nice thing that mc has is that it lets you open a remote shell via ssh. I use that a lot (I find sc syntax a big pain) so I'd miss that a lot in nnn. Sorry if that feature is included and I failed to spot it.
- apjana 8y ago> Sorry if that feature is included and I failed to spot it. Don't be, it's not in yet. It's on the ToDo list. I would really appreciate a PR.
- YeGoblynQueenne 8y agoA PR? Well, I wouldn't completely write it out, but my C is really rusty and I am being buried under a ton of stuff I'm expected to do (I'm doing a PhD, so I basically have no free time). Is it just you on this project?
- apjana 8y agoIt was for anyone who reads the comment.
- BeetleB 8y agoI understand you haven't used it, but for many, mc is the gold standard when it comes to features and ease of use. I've been using mc/nc for 30+ years and have never found a file manager as good (although I'll admit I stopped looking at them a decade ago). It is the file manager many will compare against. I would suggest you request volunteers to put a comparison page for it. That alone will give you ideas on features you may want to add.
