@jmcantrell Thank you for your interest in the project and the proposal. I have thought about this feature a few times before in the past. While I think it is a reasonable feature, I should say we already have quite a lot of complexity in the code for the directory drawing, so I'm not sure how others might think. Still I think the idea is worth considering, so I will move the discussion to the issues. |

This is a common (ls, exa, tree, ranger, probably others) option that I think is very helpful when scanning the listing.
Depending on the path, a character is appended (with the default foreground color) depending on what the path is:
@
means symbolic link (or that the file has extended attributes)*
means executable=
means socket|
means named pipe>
means door (not sure I've ever encountered this)/
means directoryThis is similar to icons, but a simpler alternative for those that just want a simple classification that's good enough without thinking about font support or every type of file that could be encountered.
Please consider this 🙏
