Thanks for the kind words! :) While digging up alternatives (of course after I had already written most of the functionality), I briefly tried out fzf. I think at that time I couldn't find an example snippet like yours to do the cding,

I'm a fast typer, and I understand where you're coming from! But note how there's a small (200ms by default but can be configured) delay when the auto-cd happens. This is actually pretty important, because otherwise it's

Tab completion with these settings takes some extra keystrokes: if there's only one match, you have to press tab twice to see what's in the subfolder. If you have several matches, you have to press tab, then enter to select the on

I tried to avoid bloat as much as possible, and I would argue that the non-transitive deps are pretty essential. I'l look into tweaking some features as suggested in sibling to trim it further down. But you're right that it could

It's true that vim probably contains all of the functionality of tere, but IME browsing with vim is still a bit more cumbersome (and I'm not sure if you can configure it to print the cwd on exit, though probably you can). The extr

That's mentioned in the readme! :) I'm pretty happy with the name choice, it's short, doesn't seem to clash with other CLI tools, it can be interpreted as "terminal explorer", and has a kind of cute meaning as
