Hi,
This is great! Yesterday when teaching git I ran ‘cd Desktop; mkdir planets’
while unintentionally having to top right corner of the desktop visible. This
meant the new ‘planets’ folder appeared out of nothing - great teaching moment!
So I totally see the point of this.
Even without such a tool, an instructor could do the clicking on folder names
with the mouse to illustrate the GUI equivalent of the unix commands (I did
that once and I think it worked well too).
