    I didn't know of entr, or inotify at the time. Years ago, I wrote a script that did mostly that, but I've found myself to instead rely on a script to rerun things based on global hotkeys. It scratches a different itch, but in case you want to check it out [0]

    In short, you set up a global hotkey to trigger the rerun of a "key"-ed command. Then you can quickly run a command, which can be rerun with that hotkey.

    Set a huuuuuuuge shell history https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/aa77ddcbde63bf... then fzf ctrl+r bindings mean you can recall anything right where you need it.

    If you’re going to do this then have an escape hatch for commands you don’t want memorised https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/aa77ddcbde63bf...

    The integration is pretty decent in vim, i have it configured to open a window overlay on n (requires neovim) https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/main/dotfiles/...

    That said, i don't find myself using that as much. Usually i'm in the shell when i invoke nnn - i might open a file in vim from nnn though.

    In vim, i typically lean on fzf.vim more often - usually i know something about the next file i want to open so it just feels more direct.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing shell-scripts and dotfiles you can also consider the following projects:

fx - Terminal JSON viewer & processor

watchexec - Executes commands in response to file modifications

nnn - n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager

zsh-history-substring-search - 🐠 ZSH port of Fish history search (up arrow)

lf - Terminal file manager

murex - A smarter shell and scripting environment with advanced features designed for usability, safety and productivity (eg smarter DevOps tooling)

entr - Run arbitrary commands when files change

rerun - Restarts an app when the filesystem changes. Uses growl and FSEventStream if on OS X.
