Yeah, ls being called ls despite not being coreutils ls is both a pro and a con. If it would be called lf, for list files, I think it would actually be a little easier to adapt. Because I usually use ls with the flags that don't exist in nushell, which obviously fails. It feels strange to borrow the name without being compatible.

- steveklabnik 3y agoSure, the idea is that that would be the exception, not the norm. It is an escape hatch not a standard workflow.
