Looks nice! Not sure if it's enough to pry me away from MC, but worth a look.
Love all the terminal tooling that's come out in recent years. I'm this close to chrome and rofi being the only gui I'm using on my work machine. This looks great!
If didn't read the docs, noticed hkjl moved around, and accidentally deleted 3 folders with ctrl+d seeing if I could scroll down faster. Scary defaults if you have Vim muscle memory.

An operating system from 2018 which is no longer maintained by its vendor? https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_tara_cinnamon_whatsnew.php I think it's somewhat unreasonable to expect software released today will necessarily work on your environment without some legwork.
Is it though? I can run Windows programs from 20 years ago on my Windows machine just fine. Issues with Linux binary distribution meanwhile are ubiquitous, with glibc probably being the single biggest offender. What's worse is that you can't even really statically link it without herculean effort. I've spent an inordinate amount of my life trying to wrangle third-party binaries on Linux libraries and it's just a sorr…

The program we are discussing happens to be written in Go so it's trivial to build a statically linked executable.

Mac OS itself confuses things by forcing apps to be full screen, rather than sizing to the content
I don't understand what you mean.
macOS has never forced apps to be full screen.
Brew install superfile Now guess what the executable is called…
Yes, I had the same question! (`spf` for the curious!) EDIT: To be fair, right at the beginning of the tutorial is: > First, if you want to open superfile by opening a terminal and typing spf.
With a dependency on a font. Wow, it's been a while since I've seen that.

It's a slippery slope, once you've spent a year tailoring your setup it removes so much friction from those tasks you do 100 times a day. Sometimes I look at my macos coworkers and they have a single application on fullscreen and then they shake their mouse or whatever and 20 windows fly over the screen and then they scan them all to find the other window they are looking for, and I really wonder how they get work do…

In the TUI case though, you can usually tweak that workflow and configure it to match your brand of thinking. It costs a little more per instance up front, but after that year (or whatever time period), you get a much less frustrating experience, and the oddball things your particular workflow requires have been smoothed out - where in the GUI you'd still be frustrated and a bit fumbly or suboptimal, so you continue to pay the penalty for it over time.
It's really about how you amortize the total time put into using the tool.
