athame VS dust

What does ngs do regarding text input... using readline like bash does? Or your own implementation? https://github.com/ardagnir/athame sounds so good for my vim-washed computerbrain. I imagine you don't want to embed NeoVim in your interactive shell (or do you????), but I'm wishing of that being provided in my next era dreamed-of shell <3

vi-mode... perhaps https://github.com/ardagnir/athame ?? perhaps embedding neovim??? but at least the basic modal editing that readline provides.

https://github.com/ardagnir/athame is an interesting looking project, I'd love to have that kind of vimability but am far too maxed out with configuring my tooling so I settle for whatever vi plugin came with oh-my-zsh.

None of these are major criticisms. But I'm wondering if others have also experienced them. I'm also wondering if anybody has found something better than your shell's native vim mode. For example, athame, which sounds great but has gotten very dusty in recent years.

Oh, I misunderstood "commandline editor". To compensate, can I offer this: https://github.com/ardagnir/athame

Athame does this with Vim. I've made a couple of attempts at doing the same thing with Neovim but never made it to the point where it became actually usable (there's a number of issues to overcome, e.g. bash statically linking readline so you can't LD_PREALOAD your own readline replacement, neovim not being very happy with single-line UIs...).

Athame patches readline to be vim-y, but that's usually unnecessary since most shells support vi keybindings. This might be better, since it is truly a vim session (and not emulation), but I haven't used it so idk.

You can test too https://github.com/ardagnir/athame

Try using dust https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

How does this compare to dust?

Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.

dust is also really nice.
