    I think a lot of Ratatui apps will tend to land on similar concepts for your app. There's a few good examples of apps using a component approach rather than just widgets that I'm aware of:

    - https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi

    - https://github.com/TaKO8Ki/gobang

    - https://github.com/nomadiz/edma

    Perhaps the intuitive crate would make a good abstraction on top of Ratatui?

    Thank you for your appreciation!

    In fact, `G` and `gg` are already supported in Yazi. You just need to set `arrow -999` for `gg`, and `arrow 999` for `G`. I've added it to the default keybindings: https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/commit/c540542da49004a3084b1d...

    The enhanced find/filter feature has been noted in the Feature Requests (https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/issues/51), and I will make an effort to implement it soon. Of course, PRs welcome if possible :)
