@adr to paraphrase one of the greatest films of all time*, “skittish, Toombs, very skittish”.

@redlibrarian I’ve reduced a bunch of my shell usage just because I found emacs/dired sooo handy. Examples:

https://xenodium.com/bending-emacs-episode-3-git-clone-the-lazy-way
@redlibrarian I still jump to a terminal to do some stuff, but a lot less than I used to.
If you want to move files from one directory to another, then Emacs will do the right thing if the source and destination are in two (Emacs) windows and you use the dired commands in the source directory
@redlibrarian You should blog about your experience.
I'm using Emacs for many years and never found it reasonable (yet) to give up my zsh for file management.
