  • fish-shell

    The user-friendly command line shell.

    This is the default behaviour of fish[1], by the way!

  • nnn

    n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager

  • ranger

    A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console

    This looks cool, though I already use https://github.com/ranger/ranger for this.

  • dotfiles

    My dotfiles (by CGamesPlay)

    I built a "Control-P" feature for fish that would also be a good trigger for this tool. Basically, you activate the shortcut to run the program, then it will change the directory based on the selection, but restore your original command line after. So you can be halfway through a command before realizing you are in the wrong place. Also, can cd with one fewer keystroke. My version is at [0], but obviously modifiable for other tools like this one.

  • elvish

    Powerful scripting language & versatile interactive shell

    Shameless plug: Elvish is a shell with a filesystem navigator built in - you can see it in demo 5 on the homepage https://elv.sh

  • tere

    Terminal file explorer

    Looks very similar to my tool, tere: https://github.com/mgunyho/tere. The main difference seems to be that I don't do any file manipulation, while walk has the option to delete files/folders. In my implementation, you don't need to type '/' for fuzzy search, just typing searches and jumps by default.

  • broot

    A new way to see and navigate directory trees : https://dystroy.org/broot

    I've used a lot of the tools mentioned here in comments, but I think just for finding a directory/file broot[1] is much faster and easier than others. Though it is also quite feature rich but mostly it's just write a fuzzy search term that could even be sub-sub-directory and open, extremely quickly.
