     @karna @p @skylar @skylar Well, this thing is all about being lazy, options 1 and 2 are straight up for lazyness, option 3 however is real useful, if you've ever used "apt search" and got angry with the shitty or useless results then filtering with fzf is a game changer, option 4 is nice to have, now options 5 and 6 are either useless or really neat as for whatever reason you may need to know what files belong to a package, sometimes you know the package but not the files others you know the files but not the package

     Yeah, I resort to piping its output through sort and then grepping for what I want.

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @p @skylar @skylar nice use of fuzzy finder. Semi related, have you ever seen the apt wrapper called nala (wrapper may not be right word it but :akarinShrug: )

     @karna @p @skylar @skylar Yes, i've used nala for a while now, just been using plain apt lately since it currently has a pretty enough output.

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @p @skylar @skylar Oh yeah they did pretty up a little recently. That said, the ui you made looks pretty nice too

     @p @skylar @skylar @karna it works, the search package files thing is slow and jack and i need to figure a way to cache the list of files from all packages... but it works.
