nnn VS Thunar

If you want a file full browser experience choose nnn: https://github.com/jarun/nnn . If you have a desktop file for Helix you can use the Gnome Files program to make all your programming language files open in Helix. Source: 5 months ago

Nnn [1] seems like a more advanced tool (directory management, copying, renaming, packing/unpacking) and pluggable. [1] https://github.com/jarun/nnn. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

In case you haven't come across nnn earlier, it is a tiny full-featured terminal file manager written for performance and productivity - https://github.com/jarun/nnn. Source: about 1 year ago

Another option is to create a file in the command line, but quitting from the editor can be a bit of a hassle. So, what we can do is split the screen with tmux or zellij. Use a file manager if you prefer visual. Personally use nnn. Source: over 1 year ago

I used your program for a little bit and it is a very nice effort. Although I would like to ask you, why not use nnn as a file manager which is insanely fast and has several functionalities as well. I am hoping you are aware of the project. Source: over 1 year ago

Thunar a blazingly-fast file manager with image & video previews, as well as plugins. Source: almost 2 years ago

I switched to Thunar because of this issue. It has very fast preview image loading, among other benefits. It seems well-integrated into Gnome, even though it is built primarily from the XFCE project. Source: about 2 years ago

Thunar xfce filemanager but works well in other DEs like plasma too. Source: over 2 years ago

Not sure how i3wm can help you with that. It would have to be implemented in Thunar itself. I would check Thunar's documentation first. Source: over 2 years ago
