SingleFile has a cli version which I use and like.

It was my comment that described it as gaslighting. I think it's a reasonable use of the term when in the thread the mod says it's partially your fault you can no longer see the size of a folder, the way you have been accustomed to doing for the last 30 years.

    "Well, a big part of the problem is how few people actually follow through with requests using the mechanism."

No, Google, I think a big part of the problem is that you didn't implement a feature that has been a staple of computers for decades.

The mods on the support forums who make it sound like basic functionality missing from their product is your own fault for not submitting some kind of ticket deserve the gaslighting prize of the year for each of the last 5 years.

They don't even have an option to show you how much space folders take up, when they charge you based on space usage.

It's just so slow, and things that I was able to figure out using Bloomberg's autocomplete I'm regularly at a loss for using Eikon.

The transition of the fundamental data towards being refinitiv branded is also very uncomfortable.

This just made my day, thank you so much.

I struggle with this in sublime, I would love to hear how you figured it out.

I meant finance and investment analysis, not programming.

The difficult to distinguish 0's and O's are still the worst part of this. It's supposed to be for numbers focused things, come on.

Thanks very much. I found a blog I'll be adding to my rss feed as well as a few useful tools. Bookmarks can be really personal things, so I respect the courage in sharing.

I get nagging comments otherwise about security, as if we are all reading every line of source when we compile something.

Well done, and thanks for making it available so easily.

I'm not the author, who is in this thread elsewhere, but very curious what the bug is, if only to avoid it myself since I use micro constantly.

I had no idea highlighting something and dragging it with the mouse was a thing. It works all over the place from quick testing. This is cray, how have I missed this my entire life?

Sure it does! We just have to re-define "the box" to be

   apt install *

Cool! A built in keybinding with a place in the Alt-g keybindings strip for

    command-edit:vsplit ~/.config/micro/bindings.json

or similair would be awesome as well.

If you don't mind me asking, why? It seems like vi or vim is already available everywhere and this confuses the differentiating factor a bit.

edit: To avoid confusion, I am asking about the vim part only, not the keybindings part.

I usually build from source for three different platforms (phone, regular pc, arm) on my main computer, and carry around the binaries with my dotfiles. Building from source consists of a single go get command, so it's not too bad. And I've yet to hit a single compatability issue with thos ebinaries, knock on wood.

I'll take a crack at it. It would be vim under the hood but big changes to the defaults in favor of first time users over experienced users to allow using it for basic features wihout knowing ANY of the eccentricities or history of terminal based editors or even modal editors. As a starting point, think evim defaults which smothly allow you into regualr vim when you are ready or feel like it.

Vim does things that I can't imagine many other editors doing, and the pletora of less obvious features like editing over ssh, vimdiff, TOhtml, print to PS, etc are just lovely.

Many would never learn those features at all, and power uers would be less likely to develop, but that seems like a starting point.

As a bonus for all you experienced vimmers, if you want to feel the real excitement of learning how to use an untuitive new tool, like back when you were green, open up easy vim in a terminal.

    vim -y

Now exit after writing something.

If you are a sublime person, micro is your terminal based editor. Built in sublime style multi-line editing, built in super simple plugin management, intuitive tabs and splits, keyboard shortcuts you are familiar with, clipboard works across apps, shifting the current line up or down one line at a time visually (bubbling I think it's called) etc.

Features that require plugins in sublime also come standard and are incredibly useful, like using it as part of a pipeline or my single favorite editor feature of textfilters, like the sublime filterpipes plugin. Meaning if I know how to do something using a regular cli tool, you just do that without having to do it in some new way. For me that means I can use Micro as an interactive front end for xsv for giant csv files of questionable provenance which require some hand fixing as well as some large scale transformation.

Since 2.0, the stability on enormous files has also been off the charts great. It will open and be ready to work on 1gb+ text files faster than wc can tell you how long they are.

Anyway, as you may have noticed, I am an enormous micro fanboy, sorry not sorry.

I was attempting to be snarky in my original comment, it was in poor taste and not too funny, apologies.

If you have not yet looked at rclone, it's worth exploring, they do a great job.

The difference in scale of effort and money/time of being downstream vs a fork makes it at least possible that they would do no such thing. I personally think it would be extremely unlikely they would fork it.

I think the parents comment's argument is that since it's based on chromium it also can eventually be forced to acquiesce, so any chromium-based browser is just a stop gap solution.

You are thinking of these: https://www.w3.org/Tools/csvtotab-vv

Agreed, they are excellent.

If you have a setup you like, save it a shell script. You'll have to rerun as google breaks it every six months or so.

I bet if I swapped out xfce when someone was upgrading from win7 to 10, and could sed -i s/ubuntu|xfce/win|ms|etc/ in just the main screens maybe a quarter of all users would never notice. Buying a computer was a thing everyone took seriously in days past, clicking around the Dell website for days. Today, not so much. People often __still__ have a computer, and they view it that way. I can imagine many will not even other replacing aging machines once they croak.

Desktop linux will be bigger, probably much bigger, but as a share of the total desktop market. That market itself is not exactly promising. I think the last data I saw was that desktop sales had been falling for the better part of a decade! Counting laptops. With a dead cat bounce here or there.

This is all a roundabout way of saying that there is still a fight to be had for linux, but it's on phones. Desktop share will not be won, it will be conceded by the big guys as a sales pitch to the primarily techy types using it to embrace their SDK on mobile, where the money is.

I have done this to myself in the past. Those were....dark days.

To be fair, sometimes calling some giant java library or installing tons of dependencies is just not realistic. Use the library for the mission critical stuff or the automated reporting without a doubt, but it's important to be practical and thinking on your feet as well.

In the meantime for quick analysis and testing 90% + can be accomplished with one line of (g)awk.

  awk -v FPAT='"[^"]*"|[^,]*' -v OFS='\t' '{$1=$1; print $0}' "$filename"

An alternate explanation is that this never occurred because if people lose their passwords they would be completely out of luck.

Your convert and gs mastery is truly impressive, great job and great project.
