I'm blown away at the quality of the readme :-) In the demo, how did you get the key press indicator to show? I haven't seen that before, but it's a wonderful addition. And may I…

One of the better demo gifs: clever naming, clear utility, clear understanding of how to use the tool.

Cool! Also, I really like your demo gif! Super effective and fun way to go through all the features.

This looks very cool. The demo has convinced me to try it, well done! Also typical hacker news - "why don't you just use Vim"? Ha. Ignore the naysayers.

I'm going to be a dick here, because someone will say it anyways, but how is this different from VIM's directory browser? Essentially the same UI. I do think your program does…

I strongly dislike the idea of automatically jumping into a folder when there’s only one match: it feels like a feature optimised for very slow typers that actively penalises…

``` curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mgunyho/tere/master/Cargo.lock | grep source | wc -l 51 ``` How come that such a simple tool has more than half a century of…

Appreciate this is a hobby project to learn Rust in, but for those who want similar functionality without installing additional dependencies, you can already do this in `vim` by…

> "Tere" means "hello" in Estonian. It also feels nice to type. On qwerty I think that's the case :)

True, it's not a very smooth experience on non-qwerty keyboards, and the keyboard shortcuts can't be customized yet. But it's high on the todo list!

I hit ~ expecting to go to my home directory, which was a bit odd Once I select a directory I want to dump myself back out into a command line in that directory, I couldn't see…

To end up in the directory where you are, you just have to exit using esc or alt-q, assuming you have set up your shell config. I'll add ~ as a shortcut for the home directory,…

Sorry for being dense but I thought when I entered into a directory and pressed Esc it would pwd into that directory. But in my case, entering the dir and pressing esc just…

You need to configure a shell function to actually do the cd (see the snippets in the README). It has to be done this way because a subprocess cannot change the pwd of the parent.

This feels a lot like Vim's built in file explorer (netrw). I find these kinds of text based, keyboard centric explorers to be far superior for navigating around a codebase, then…

Congrats for getting this out! > I also wanted an excuse to learn This is the best reason ever, and not just for you: seeing your GIF I thought "could I achieve that with fzf?".…

Thanks for the kind words! :) While digging up alternatives (of course after I had already written most of the functionality), I briefly tried out fzf. I think at that time I…

Looks great! I was thinking of a rusty pet project for the same thing :) I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but Ranger is a great alternative tool, it can even be integrated into…

Interesting. OTOH, people have named a number of similar tools, and I'm going to point out 'mc' aka Midnight Commander, which is part of most linux distro's, and is a clone of…

Definitely worth to check out sdn which also serves perfectly as cd+ls replacement: https://git.janouch.name/p/sdn I also submitted few days ago here on HN:…
