Why do you think it looks like a nightmare?

It's liek writing a shell script for every library, except now you're stuck typing commands so you need to carry it with you.

Plus I don't like TAB completion. If you can't remember where everything is maybe you should organise it better instead of drawing more maps.

It's not so much remembering, it's typing it all out (for me at least). Having RSI, reducing any amount of typing is a godsend. However, my first impression of lightning is similar.

Yes, lightning will be a dependency if you use it just as plumb would be if you used it.

It's strange that lightning looks like a nightmare and then you offer plumb, where its rules are 4+ lines long while lightning's are one-liners.

I'm aware that they both have dependencies Plumb still looks miles more attractive. % plumb /path/to/file.c:21 will open file.c at line 21 right clicking in Acme will do it automatically, I can feel the win from here
