broot completely changed the way I navigate directories on the CLI over the past year.

I was an 'ls' purist before, I've tried various CLI file managers in the past and they all felt like they added too much friction, with the one exception of nnn which I briefly used before finding broot, which just feels really fluid and natural.

Broot has many features that feel natural... when you know they exist (for example, try looking for what's taking space with `br -w` then stage the files and remove them at the end).

I suggest everyone to have at least a short glance at the introduction at https://dystroy.org/broot/

broot can't run commands on, let alone select, multiple files. A real shame.
