Default key bindings kind of suck...but actually pretty useable once you've gone and overwridden those.

Here's some of my overrides:

[ { "keys": ["Ctrl+Enter"], "command": "copy" }, { "keys": ["Shift+Enter"], "command": "rename" }, { "keys": ["Ctrl+Shift+Enter"], "command": "move" }, { "keys": ["Left"], "command": "go_up" }, { "keys": ["Right"], "command": "open" }, { "keys": ["Enter"], "command": "open" }, { "keys": ["Alt+Enter"],"command":"open_with_editor"}, { "keys": ["Ctrl+Alt+T"], "command": "open_terminal"}, { "keys": ["Ctrl+Alt+Enter"], "command": "open_native_file_manager" } ]

This broke apt-get update on my system, by adding an https update method. I assume the author must have apt-transport-https installed, or something.

Sorry about that :/ It adds /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fman.list so you can update fman with apt. Isn't non-https unsafe?

No, because the packages are already signed with gpg. That way you can verify the checksum already.

Interesting (sorry, I'm new to Linux packaging). So would it be safe then to replace by http? (Not that I'd take this at face value, but I am interested in your opinion)

> don't be a free user! sure, going to buy it > i'm sorry, we're sold out :-( 100 licenses were made available on March 1, and all are gone. guess i will be a free user :/

I'm sorry :( 1) I didn't expect to be sold out 2) I want to provide paying users with an awesome experience but need to be able to focus my resources to do that. I promise more licenses will be made available soon.

i totally understand your side. but you have to understand that the popup[0] that appears when i open fman without a license is really obnoxious. specially when i can't buy a license.

You're right, I'm sorry. I'll find a solution. I saw you signed up for the waiting list. I'll get in touch.

Here's some more information that sums that up quite nicely, most default mirrors are http so I'd say it's safe enough.

If you mean fman then no: I thought about this long and hard but startup speed is crucial and Electron just doesn't cut it. It's based on PyQt. I wrote a blog post about this: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-...

Good to hear that... It would have been even better if it was C++ Qt based.

Congratulations! You exemplify the term "pathological customer"!
