`nnn` needs ncurses. AFAIK, it's not available on Windows yet. I use it daily on Linux subsystem for Windows and it supports Cygwin.

Hi, author of `nnn` here. I didn't submit it but I am actively responding to the comments and it is actually helping me to get feedback and feature ideas. I am grateful OP posted it. Thanks for fixing the title.

For several operations, there are multiple keybinds. But I can think of something interesting. If you can come up with a keybind profile for non-querty, we can have a separate config for that set.

`vidir` does the same in vim and readily integrates with `nnn`.

Ah, OK! I thought every file in every dir. To do this you would have to remember each absolute path which is 4K max per path (or allocate dynamically and free every time when changed). We try to keep `nnn` light on memory. I must admit this

It's not available in 2.1 either. Last night a user reported this after release of 2.1. :)

You can fallback to the subshell in `nnn` with `!` or `^]`.

Thanks for the appreciation! I myself have the habit of using `nnn` on Termux.

I went through the homepage of mc to understand the features and it seems the features available in mc but no in `nnn` is - Remote protocols (like FTP or SSH) integrates and file+dir compare. However, I do not see several `nnn` features in

The DEL key wasn't handled in rename prompt. The fix is available on master branch.

Does mc have a navigate as you type mode? Just curious.

`nnn` integrates `vidir` for batch renaming.

It's for DOS and is a shareware. > better UI I doubt that from the screenshots. But it's a personal preference.

Yes, we didn't want to remember the last file selected in every directory visited. In other words, it's like remembering the state of every directory visited. `nnn` selects the parent dir when you come out of a child dir.

Yes, `nnn` doesn't have file previews. It needs the user to explicitly open the file to view it. Or open a dir of images in something like sxiv.

There was a feature to run executable scripts in `noice` (on enter) but it was dropped in `nnn` as potentially dangerous. At this point you can spawn a subshell and launch it manually.

> don't be sloppy with your estimates I'm not. You can, and I'm sure eventually you will arrive very close to the approximation. I'd been a big time fan of `ncdu` for years and even wrote in an e-journal about it once
