I use klogg for browsing massive text files, it works pretty good for me
I use lnav for this, it works very well and the search and filtering etc are great.
Do you mind expanding a little on Directory Opus ? I always have four or five explorer windows open and I am constantly annoyed with the clunkiness of Windows explorer. I know there are a few alternatives but not sure how they compare.
Thanks a lot for elaborating. I installed Free Commander in the meantime, see if it's enough for my use.
Yeah, I dont think there's a dual tree in Free Commander... It's just the one tree for both panes. But there's a favourite list and that should cover most of my needs. Let's see. Cheers !
Thanks I'll look this up
UltraEdit is probably the oldest editor which was designed specifically for editing super large files. It has no limits, but it is also proprietary.

I see. Did not realise there is such a defined line.
I do find PyCharm easier than VSCode but never could put a finger on it.
He said full IDE. You ever used a full IDE?
Dude's getting downvoted but there's not much of an integrated development environment in a glorified text editor with plugins once you realize the competition really gives you all the tools you need to never ever really need to leave the environment.
Most of the competition is modular with plugins as well.
It's okay, most of these users are kids editing python scripts in vs code anyway.
VS code isnβt an IDE.
I tried installing this new "Files Community", kinda shady software even though opensource, and it didnt even install due to some libraries missing I guess...
