vmtouch VS navi

VMTouch may be helpful. https://hoytech.com/vmtouch/

Just lock the file into memory using:

```vmtouch -l /path/to/binary```

You're claiming that gnome loads all of itself into memory so that it can be faster. Now there are a few reasons why I don't think that's a reasonable idea, but assuming that you wanted that... using techniques like vmtouch to keep the files in the disk cache would make it so that gnome wasn't actually using the full 1GB. The "cached" files could be evicted from the cache if some other program needed that memory. Where as loading all of gnome in at startup regardless of whether it's actually used is probably not a good idea.

It is a mainstream thing. It's enabled by default on every Windows install, as far as I know, although you may not be impressed by its understanding of what your frequently opened programs are. It's been about ten years since I ran Windows, but I used to have a batch script to read everything in a directory so that it would be in the disk cache and subsequent accesses would come from RAM. The Linux equivalent of my script is vmtouch, although that's a lot more full-featured.

vmtouch.

I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case.

I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic arguments. That got covered by Navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi (takes more friction to add new command than with TBMK, but you get much more organized and easier to search tool).

Similar projects (in a way): navi

I think navi is a better alternative. You can create custom cheats too.

navi might help you with that

I like using navi, but idk if you want something that runs in the terminal.

There's also a cli program called tealdeer that does this kind of thing and uses a local cache. And there's a fuzzy search interactive cli cheatsheet program called navi that's also pretty cool (and you can write your own cheatsheets).
