NNN file manager and plugin system (revisited)

An in-depth walk through of how to get the NNN file system working with plugins. I also cover how to compile icons into NNN itself.

That's how a software presentation should be. Nice overview!

What an excellent walk through for this cli app! Learned *a lot* in just 25 minutes. You have a great speaking voice, it's very clear in what you are trying to show us. Thanks for putting in the time for this! 👌🏻

Hi Dave, I was recently listening to a bombcast from 2009 with you on and had to look you up and see what you’re up to these days - glad to see you still doing cool stuff. You were always an interesting and entertaining guy to listen to. 👍👍

I really like the key cap overlays in your video. What did you use to capture those?

Thanks for your video it helped me with setup of nnn on artix linux. I did encounter problems with functioning of nnn. When i try to open nnn in terminal by the use of keyboard shortcut it open nnn with lost of correct functioning. First problem is it refuse to show colors correctly that have been defined in variable in .zshrc so as in .bashrc. Second problem is this that when i try to use plugins i press ";" key and the list of keys that activate specific plugins do not show at all. If i try to press any of defined keys it writes that the key is invalid. When i open terminal and type in alias nnn that in my setup invoke nnn-nerd-static -cdH both of the problems are not present and nnn works very good. Did you ever encounter this type of problem with nnn? Any idea how to resolve this?

Questions:
1. Did you make any extra steps to make the help window appear? For me it works normally in bash, but not in zsh nor fish. I exported the pager=less with many flags and combinations, but it stays in terminal when I quit nnn.
2. Replacing the 'ls' command. Is it possible to make nnn just printing the files in terminal and not opening the nnn?
3. Your guide in github about making icons bigger is too much of gibberish for a noob like me. Could make a throughout video about it?
4. Is it possible to replace the nnn as the "save as" -window when saving a file from browser? Global or a browser spesific.

Thanks to your video, I've used nnn for more than 1, 5 years since seeing your first nnn video!

Hi Dave, very informative! Rather then invoking your img plugin to use sxiv to view an image isn't there a way to press 'l' or 'Enter' to open the file in sxiv? I thought that was what nuke would allow me to do but I still don't seem to be able to.

When I use "e" to edit file content, how could I change the default editor?
NNN runs vim by default but I want to change that and use neovim instead.

Grad vid. What kind of fish theme do you use?

[jonbikaku]

Hi Dave! Your quick comment about EUI made me look into it and I would really like to contribute to it. It's a very interesting and aesthetic looking library!
I see one perfect issue I could start with, but wondering if there's any slack/IRC channels that are in place for communication? Or is it mostly git based communication?

I built and installed it from source. But whatever I tried I couldn't manage live preview.
