ranger.el VS z

ranger.el

I still appreciate having a tool like ranger for emacs: https://github.com/ralesi/ranger.el

It's not quite the two-column file manager; but it's inspired by a file manager + preview, with simple keybindings for navigating.

Well, you have ranger in emacs if you'd like to use it... https://github.com/ralesi/ranger.el

If you like ranger, there is a ranger.el for Emacs, no need to run vterm + bash + python just to manager your files :-).

After like 20 years on using dired, i decided (After reading this thread) to try ranger.el and i never thought I would rebind my usually dired-jump binding c-x c-j to it. It's fantastic and I encourage every "direder" to try it

https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua was another that I used for a long time, although I've lately started using https://github.com/jethrokuan/z

A lot of reinventing the wheel in the z space it seems

z

Fish + Starship (https://starship.rs/) + z (https://github.com/jethrokuan/z). For me it is a really nice configuration, fast do do stuff & visually pleasant (it influences my comfort & motivation).

I use fish shell with z plugin to quickly jump to directories and nnn file manager mainly to select files for deletion. I also use dirbuf plugin for neovim when working inside this editor.

it also has a fish version https://github.com/jethrokuan/z

Use a directory jumper, so you don't have to keep cding all the time. I use z

https://github.com/jethrokuan/z Looks like it exists for fish, too

z for fish - Directory jumping

That reminds me of the fish z port...it does some fuzzy matching to get you quickly to frequently used dirs

Been using https://github.com/jethrokuan/z for a long time but yours looks nice! I'll definitely take a look at your search system.
