If you're on Apple iTerm solves most of the problems outlined in this blog post. Option+click moves cursor wherever you want, cmd+click on any url or path to open it. Plus tabs, panes, and a bunch of other neat stuff. Free, open source, no login required, but it'd be cool if you donated to them.

Recommend vifm or why not tmux which is very configurable.

Why not use fzf? https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Command-T gives you similar functionality in Vim. It's great.https://github.com/wincent/Command-T

Fzf is what you're looking for.

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Not in front of laptop, wondering if there’s a command palette shortcut thing like in sublime/atom/vscode.

This is great, thanks! It would be amazing if CMD + , would open this directly.

This is configurable! I use atuin, but fzf with ctrl-r.
