z.lua VS dragon

https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua is quite nice and has more features, e.g. fzf integration and an interactive mode.

Then install: - z.lua - better cd - exa - better ls - trash - rm deletes completely - trash moves files to trash, so you can recover them - massren - absolutely the best file/folder renamer (especially for devs) - tldr - better than man

wget https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua/raw/master/ranger_zlua.pyi && chmod +x ~/.config/ranger/plugins/ranger_zlua.py

z.lua

I personally use z.lua, but if you're a Rust fan there's also zoxide. Both are multi-platform and highly configurable.

With z you can CD into a directory like ~/Documents/Foo/Bar/Baz by executing z baz.

I used to keep some directory bookmarks with apparix, but nowadays I just use z.lua.

Currently zabb mainly supports the zoxide implementation of z. It works ok with z.lua, fasd and z, but may not find the shortest abbreviations for those. It may work for other implementations if they support the z -e command. I welcome PRs to expand zabb to other implementations.

Have a look at dragon

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!

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.

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.

Not a direct answer, but maybe still useful… They way I handle this is using a drag and drop tool.

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.

You can use Dragon
