  3. moreutils

    moreutils is a growing collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago when unix was young. Read-only version of `git://git.joeyh.name/moreutils`

    Sounds like `vidir` from moreutils.

  4. vidir

    edit directory in $EDITOR (better than vim . with netrw)

    I'm sticking with (and would highly recommend) vidir over this.
