## Black magic! :dark_sunglasses:
1. Load, sort, filter thousands of files instantly
-2. Turbo navigate with automatic dir selection
+2. Type to navigate with automatic dir selection
3. Select files from anywhere (not just a single dir)
4. Edit and preview markdown, man page, html
-5. Open a file and auto-proceed to the next
+5. Open a file and auto-advance to the next
6. Export (filtered) list of visible files
7. Find files by mime-type and list in `nnn`
8. Unlimited bookmarks, plugins, commands with custom hotkeys
- Disk usage analyzer (block/apparent)
- File picker, (neo)vim plugin
- Navigation
- - *Navigate-as-you-type* with dir auto-select
+ - *Type-to-nav* mode with dir auto-select
- Contexts (_aka_ tabs/workspaces) with custom colors
- Sessions, bookmarks with hotkeys; pin and visit a dir
- Remote mounts (needs sshfs, rclone)
- Familiar shortcuts (arrows, <kbd>~</kbd>, <kbd>-</kbd>, <kbd>@</kbd>), quick reference
- CD on quit (*easy* shell integration)
- - Auto-proceed on opening files
+ - Auto-advance on opening files
- Search
- Instant filtering with *search-as-you-type*
- Regex (POSIX/PCRE) and string (default) filters
