acme VS lf (file manager)

Everyone should try Acme for a month and then go back to your favourite editor. http://acme.cat-v.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Hmm, so while he was busy optimizing and learning and tweaking his keyboard setup, others invent game changing programming languages like Go, and then also write text editors that make heavy use of the mouse, and of mouse chording: http://acme.cat-v.org/ So I’m sceptical whether this approach of spending ages on this really is that productive, cost-benefit-wise. Usually it doesn’t stop there, but this optimization... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Uzbl (https://www.uzbl.org/) used to do that but it seems it was too heavy in practice. Today I'm more interestea in turning the web into a more textual format to integrate it in acme (http://acme.cat-v.org/) which is already built around modularity.

Hi. Fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there. Source: 10 months ago

I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE. Source: about 1 year ago

For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf. Source: about 1 year ago

It also taught me how to unmap a non user defined key in LF (lfrc). -The trick was to map it to nothing before mapping it to a two digit sequence mapping I wanted. Source: about 1 year ago
