Ask HN: Small scripts, hacks and automations you're proud of?
I write a lot of extremely simple but handy shell functions.
This one lets me drag/and drop things out of a terminal session (kind of) into applications with https://github.com/mwh/dragon and i use it way too often!

[OC] XFiles: A modular X11 file browser (WIP)
I'm used on a terminal workflow (ranger fm in the past, switched to lf) on a desktopless wm. I prefer it that way, the only thing missing is drag 'n' drop functionality, mainly for web apps. There is dragon but I'm considering installing a light gui fm for the job.

"Super Buffer File" and Dragon integration
Yeah, some amount of extra explanation would have helped. I'm using this with a local program (https://github.com/mwh/dragon) that creates a pop-up GUI window (independent of Emacs) for "drag and drop" functionality. It only works with files on the local system, so the purpose of super-buffer-file is to create a local file associated with a buffer if one doesn't already exist, and return the name of that file.

Is there a way to use an external file picker on Linux?
Not a direct answer, but maybe still useful… They way I handle this is using a drag and drop tool.

TUI file manager killer functionality that never gets implemented!
I know there is dragon and the feature would require a terminal that supports it, but being able to simply select files and drag-and-drop them into a browser upload without requiring an additional window would be awesome.

Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O
I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

What are the best open source tools to easily navigate directories from the command line?
Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.

LF filemanager is awesome - so is zsh, which I want to migrate to. But in bash and fish, you can make a function so when quitting LF, you end up in the dir you were in in LF. can't find something similar for zsh
in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

What is the process of requesting for a package to be added to the official repos?
I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.

What are your programs missing from the official Fedora repos?
For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
