    FWIW I do use the file browser too when I’m looking for a file with a useful preview, e.g. images.

    When I do have to handle a large amount of files though (e.g. more than a dozen) and so something “to them”, rather than just move them around, then the CLI becomes very powerful.

    It’s not because one uses the CLI that one never used a file browser.

      I once did rm \* accidentally lol. I now have a program that just moves files to trash aliased as “rm” just in case. I just don’t feel confident moving files in CLI

      Yeah, when I need to inspect lots of images I just open the folder in gwenview.

      For peeking at a single picture or two through you can hold down control and click/hover on the filename when using Konsole. Love that feature. You can even listen to .wav files this way.
