fff VS chafa

As something of an old-timer here, there's some amusement, but mostly appreciation that people are discovering that these very old ways of doing things have a lot of potential (and a lot of untapped ideas)

Somewhat relatedly, recently I discovered the colorfully named fff. It's a solid file manager, but what I've used it for is a terminal based filespace navigator (by adding a function that just leaves you in the place you navigated to).

It's funny how it's hard to break the habit of "cd" to move around, despite this being way faster, especially if you're not sure where you're going.

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.

According the git repo for fff there are several keybindings (maybe this is a bad design, idk) see https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff

Did you check fff?

Yes, there are many. One popular one is [ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger). Another, more minimal example is [fff](https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff).

Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

If you use a more modern terminal you can also use stuff like:

There's also https://github.com/princejoogie/chafa.nvim, which wraps https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa Did you know about that? I wonder what the differences between your plugin and that one are?

Hello r/Python! I'm here to introduce you to a project I've been working on called chafa.py source. These are Python bindings for the amazing terminal image visualizer Chafa.

this is a plugin that wraps the functionality of chafa into neovim. chafa is a way to display images in the terminal by converting it into ANSI escape sequences.

I guess it is using https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa for that, and it needs to be using https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug/tree/2c55173878906c3b221cdef16cf083f0c412bb58

See also https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa which is an image -> ANSI art library written in C. I built it into my BBS so users can embed images in their posts. Some turn out better than others but it gives the board a unique feel at least.
