Suggestions for programmer-friendly features in a file manager
by arunj from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XB5M)
Hi,
I'm the author of file manager nnn (https://github.com/jarun/nnn). It's a tiny and well-featured terminal based file manager that blends in well with the DE as well.
Since the past few releases we are experimenting with theme-based releases. We have covered long-pending user-requests, plugin framework etc. so far.
For the next release, we are thinking of introducing some programming-focused features. nnn already has features like session support, a vim plugin, $EDITOR integration, file and directory diff viewer plugin, case-insensitive version sort.
The intention of this post is to get some more feature ideas which we can implement to make it more programmer-friendly.
Many thanks in advance,
Arun
