Extensions are (mostly) POSIX-compliant shell scripts (though they can be compiled binaries also). I have (kind of) explained in the main thread the reason I never felt the need of re-factoring the code into multiple files.

Ah, it was shell scripts I was thinking of.

For the record, the concept makes since to me. I moved from ranger to nnn a while back, and the performance improvement that nnn provides really shows.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for the compliment!

The plugin-based mechanism fits perfectly with the fundamental design to keep the core file manager lean and fast, by delegating repetitive (but not necessarily file manager-specific) tasks to the plugins.
