Broot, a tree oriented file manager

Perfect for the KittyTerminal

  • open_preview: Hit ctrl→ when a file is selected and the preview panel appears. Preview text/image.
  • New feature: alt-c now mapped to the new :copy_line verb which, when in tree, puts the selected path in the clipboard and, when in text preview, puts the selected text line in the clipboard

        Great! And thanks for the feedback: The more I learn about how broot is used (or not used), the better I can tune it and improve it. So, how do you use it in vim ?

          I can give my aliases if anyone wants, but I have a vim keymap to open broot, and I set my $EDITOR to use vim --servername main --remote-tab, then I press F2 on a file in broot, and it opens up in a vim tab.

      so I was wondering what advantage does this have over other file managers like ranger ?
