Optimal Default Settings For raw first installations

Open srmfx opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

OS: Archlinux.

It'd be nice to have default settings like sort_by_size come by default with the very first installation. Another good idea would be to have default hotkeys for stuff like 'sorting by date', 'sorting by size' and among other things.

The current raw-bare configuration is no good, it forces users to do all the configurations by hand on every raw first install.

Sorting by size is not something I usually do: I launch broot with br -w most of the times if I'm interested in sizes. Sorting by date is also something I decide at launch and I do it with a shell alias (alias lsd="br --sort-by-date").

In short, the default configuration maches my usage, which is of course, as you noticed, not good enough for new users.

I'd welcome precise suggestions for configuration improvements.
