What about a tree which automatically fills the available height of the console, while staying balance ? Look at https://dystroy.org/broot/tricks/
Wow, I haven't heard of this one, thanks for the suggestion gonna try this out tomorrow. I usually pipe to less but this could be nicer.
It's the tree feature that made me investigate the speed of exa (see my other comment in this thread) because it was very slow. Otherwise I agree, exa is neat.
