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

I found this for 7z. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it. Note that the readme seems to be outdated since it says nodejs while it's actually rust.

As for a more general purpose file manager with this feature, I think there isn't. But it's such a good idea I don't know why it hasn't been made yet. Maybe make an issue about it in your favorite file manager's issue tracker? You may even get a better alternative from the dev/community.

Or maybe the tool I linked above could be extended with other formats, and then that can be used from within existing file managers. Not as smooth but it could work I guess.

Do share if you find a better alternative!
