What Hacker News says?

  1. Looks nice. Is it better than the built-in "arrow-keys-browseable" menu completion of zsh? (Random "screenshot" available at http://www.masterzen.fr/2009/04/19/in-love-with-zsh-part-one... under "Menu selection") I've always been wanting an integrated file picker on unix that was as efficient as the ones in the venerable 4DOS (and 4NT) shells.
