mc VS neovim

Depends on the archive type and how the vfs/extfs code was implemented for it¹. It also depends on how the archive is treated if it is compressed container, which can be seen by looking at how a .tar and .tar.xz are handled for example. The zip handler is probably the easiest to understand, as it doesn't need to contend with external compression wrappers and is a simple perl script.

Implementing your own extfs scripts to wrap a simple menu around some task can be really useful, far beyond basic archives. I wrote one so that I can shuffle my todo list priorities by moving fake "task files" in to different pseudo-directories.

I will consider a bug report, too bad you can't submit a ticket via github.

I really love how relative this feels, as for me "creator of mc¹" feels like the thing I owe him most thanks for. Every now and then I work on a project that is built on the foundations from mono, but all day I work in a way that uses mc.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
