Use broot as tree is not necessary of course `tree | less` works for that but as hinted in the article broot contains a lot more features. Fuzzy finding, preview, multiwindow copy/paste, renaming, directory navigation etc

Does it contain emacs? That would be nice.

What's wrong with dired mode? Ok, you'll get each directory in its own buffer. But, thinking of that, it shouldn't be to hard to make dired mode recurse into subdirectories inside the same buffer. (And fold/unfold like orgmode does. ;-)

It's a single variable setting now:

dired-subtree does this, albeit on demand, not eagerly descending into subdirectories. dired-hacks more generally has lots of good stuff like filtering etc.

There's a broot alternative called lf that opens files in $EDITOR

[awestroke]

What would be nice about that?

You could edit files that you just found and renamed. And when you edit files, then there is RCS integration and… linting, spellcheck, printing, you name it. It’s just a unix way. Is broot ISO/IEC 9945:2009 compliant?

[jkrubin]

That it would contain emacs

[tempodox]

Can broot render on a light background? I haven't found an option for that. If it could, I'd use it.

[dystroy]

Yes it can. See https://dystroy.org/broot/skins/#white-background-skin
