            That actually looks pretty great, the images load much faster than what they do with my install of ranger! Although it might be due to the format in the preview vids conf

    Now we need a comparison article about fff, ranger, and nnn. I chose ranger, but quite arbitrarily at the time. I tried nnn, but my fingers kept being used to ranger.

      nnn has the worst learning curve, but at least the number of commands is brief and all fit on the one help page. I was wishy-washy on it until the selection improvements last year, but now I reach for it about half the time I do anything file/dir related - even the short things, and 100% for anything batch-related.

        Thank you. What makes the learning curve bad in your opinion? I only tried it for a few minutes.

          It’s just wierd. Sort of vim-ish, but mostly not. The bindings are really NIH - makes sense to the author, I guess, but it could have been so much easier if a few more of the key bindings were shared with… anything else. It’s an entirely new modality I have to switch to whenever I use it.

          I think the biggest stumbling block is that it’s almost vim key bindings, and the muscle memory betrayed me in the cases where it isn’t. I still have to bring up the help occasionally for the stuff I use less frequently, b/c I can’t trust it’ll be something sensibly from vim or readline.
