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.

Z – Jump Around
Came to post zoxide. Also if you use `ranger`[1] (vim inspired file manager) then you might like to add the `ranger-zoxide` plugin[2].

How to have column view like macOS finder ?
This feature is rarely seen in Linux file managers. I would recommend the CLI file manager ranger. If you need a GUI tool, you should have a look at pantheon files, the file manager of ElementaryOS.
