    I’ll test this stuff out of curiosity later tonight!!

    It occurs to me now I never searched for anything through the explorer.

      Can I ask how you usually quickly jump to a specific sub-folder if you don’t type in the letters of the folder name?

        I usually click around the gui like a ham-fisted animal

        I search in the terminal.

        The tasks are separate for me. I usually launch the explorer at pwd to do my clicks, and close it.

          That seems very convoluted to me. Let’s say I have a mod folder for a game, somewhat deep folder structure thanks to Wine and such, containing hundreds of mod folders and sub folders. I download updated mod files for one mod, how would you quickly reach the corresponding folder and copy the files into that? I typically have a shortcut to the mod folder in my gaming folder, so that’s somewhat quickly to reach. I’d then go into / through the correct subfolders by typing out the letters contained in the folder names and then just copypasta the corresponding files. Is there a better way than that without losing track of things?
