Sorry, was off nostr for a while. That doesn't answer my question. Of course you manage files with a file manager, but what kind of operations do you do to manage?

E.g. for me, I rarely move around individual files. It's mostly bulk operations or to find files. For bulk operations I either use compound commands like for loops, some path manipulation using pipes, etc, or use tools like find, grep, ripgrep to search. File managers are less efficient in comparison.

IMO using a file manager, be it in the terminal, or in the GUI, is wasting time if you are doing it too often. If it's occasional, that's understandable. I manage to keep that at a minimum by organising my files into broad top level directories, e.g. I have these broad categories at the top: code, notes, documents, multimedia, experiments, scratch space. Then depending on my need, I might have other subcategories, e.g. under docs I have one for taxes, another for id and other important documents, and one for ebooks.
