As someone who uses nnn (occasionally lf) all the time, terminal file managers make navigation (especially bookmarking) easier.
Think Nemo's my default file manager but with GUI file managers I find it hard to switch contexts. I always used to have two splits open with Nemo but if I need to open a new context I'd have to open another instance of Nemo and then I gotta switch between the instances now.
Now, nnn gives me 4 contexts, which can be easily switched between using 1-4. I've added zoxide within nnn to pretty much jump to any directory within my system. This isn't really possible with a GUI file manager. Guess you can add integration to other tools as well to the list of pros of a terminal file manager.
File preview needs a mention as well. It's easier when you can quickly glance a file and move on instead of opening it.
Does XMonad have a master-slave layout?
I like greenclip. Pretty minimal, makes a solid clipboard manager combined with dmenu (or rofi)
Master-slave layout essentially splits your screen into just two windows. Any new window opening gets automatically assigned as the new master and other windows get demoted to slave and moved down the stack.
I also quite like the stack layout dwm offers. It allows me to navigate through my windows with just up and down keys instead of left/right + up/down.
I've looked for dwm alternatives before but haven't found anything that does everything dwm does. XMonad is interesting but seems daunting to set up (also Haskell)
EDiT: A quick search tells me that you can indeed have a master-slave layout on XMonad.
I don't get it. Do you expect him to work for free just because others do? If Boost for Lemmy was completely a paid app instead of free with ads, it wouldn't see as much adoption. That's how Sync, Boost and Relay (for Reddit) used to work.
fd is pretty cool. It offers a good simplification over find's syntax. find -name "*file*" vs fd file. rg I don't use often except for colorized output. A lot of Nvim plugins also prefer to use ripgrep over grep.
dwm's so good. It has pretty much everything one would need and once you've set it up, no need to change anything.
This, never liked his content TBH. Luke Smith is similar but Luke's Linux content is good.
What's the issue with that?
