From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a terminal file manager that has good support for archives? The features I'd like are:

being able to enter archives like directories
shortcut to archive all selected files

See here in the wiki, you have to export NNN_ARCHIVE. Then when you try to open it an archive you get the additional option to mount.

It uses archivemount under the hood (it's gonna ask you to install it), and I guess this tool can also be used with other file managers. I'm gonna see if there's some snippet to use it with the one I use (lf), or I'll make one. I don't know how I've been living without this for so long haha it's gonna be so useful
