      Somewhat confusingly, X is not X11.

        how do you figure? i assumed “for X” meant it was running in the terminal but had rich support for the terminal being part of a GUi environment

          Shelling out to xdg-open isn’t what I would call rich GUI support. Meh.

            okay, nouveau riche support, then :) at any rate, its motivation seems to be to be a command line file manager that hands off to X to do graphical stuff rather than assuming that if you’re running in a terminal the terminal is all there is.

        Looks close to a terminal based M-x dired! Nice. The best part of dired is hitting enter on a file does find-file and you can keep the directory open as well - this looks like it replicates that part of the workflow with vim!

        It’d be neat to see a wdired clone as well.
