    Krusader (or generally dual-pane file managers) is great once you get used to it. I have been using it (and Double Commander on Windows) for years now and wouldn’t want to get back to anything else.

      Yeah, I often hear that. A few years ago, I tried to get into Krusader, because I also liked some of the features it has, but after two weeks or so, I realized that I don’t use the file manager nearly often enough to make progress in learning a different workflow. 😅

      Well, and I also kind of had the problem that navigating into directories is quite fast on the terminal, especially with Fish shell, so I often do that there and then run open . to launch the GUI file manager for the thumbnails or dragging into other GUI applications.
      And that Frankenstein workflow is kind of diametrically opposed to dual-pane file managers, where you really need to navigate to different locations in the respective pane from within the file manager. 🫠
