Windows File Explorer is the best in terms of features, most Linux File managers lack basic functionality.
If someone dares to point that on redit they get “Then go use windows” (Linux is not a religion). or it’s opensource go do it yourself.
Is there a File Manager project that would like to implement features, there are many projects that allow feature request but don’t act on it.
I got many ideas.


I use
grepfor previews, it’s very good.cdI think does what you want here.No idea what that does.
Find and
cdin shell history should work.Somehow I expect a “GUI+Mouse is clearly better and thus your suggestions are worthless” response :-P
I wish people realized that there are vastly different possible approaches to different tasks and that one can be a lot less disappointed/stressed/angry by accepting one may have to learn a different paradigm once one has chosen to (semi-)commit to a new piece of tech…
I was half joking exactly with that intent. Hopefully OP sees that different is not explicitly bad.
