Can’t imagine using my system without this.

    It hooks into nearly every base utility I can’t live without (fzf, jq, helix, ripgrep). If you’re on windows im not sure you’re going to get a ton unless you live in WSL.

    You can pick the editor it’ll open by default, which should be configurable with comparable syntax highlighting. Vi can pretty much look like whatever. I think it’ll default to vscode on windows.

    Im not sure what you’d use it for but manage files, but I would have poked it and probably moved along while I was still on windows.

    Edit: the other benefit you might not see has a lot to do with support of mime types.

    The xdg open protocol will open whatever app is assigned to handle type locally. Which is probably why it defaults to editor.
