I used to use nnn but I’ve recently fallen in love with xplr but honestly about 90% of the time I just use
ls
,cp
andmv
(although I sometimes also use broot as well).I use broot all the time and appreciate that xplr is more plugin oriented or flexible is some ways, but don’t really feel I need more than broot so haven’t given xplr a proper try.
As you use both, would you say there’s a particular feature or task that has you reaching for xplr over broot?
xplr I probably use more (like nnn) for the tasks I would normally reach for a GUI file manager where broot I use (probably under-use) it as a fancy
tree
andls
- i.e. still using standard terminal commands to actually do stuff vs just moving things around
