Hi all, Thanks for the feedback! My initial post was a simple little hack, but this feedback is why the SWC community is the best!
Thanks Ryan and Inigo for the Dolphin references, I tried it out and added a follow up video [1]. It has some limited bidirectional feedback, with GUI navigation replicated with (full, not relative) cd commands. It would seem to be a good built-in solution for those running with KDE. The nautilus scripts looked to be similar but I haven’t had a chance to get them running. Zbyszek - that script looks great and I’m impressed how quickly you put it together! I think for Greg’s suggestion of full bi-directionality, that is the kind of approach that would be needed by adding operations on the ‘followme’ window to go back to the shell. For an ideal teaching tool it could be something like a cross-platform program that is called from the shell and opens up a generic-looking file browser window. That window would have limited GUI file operations (copy, paste, rename etc) but this would make the scope of translations back to bash commands manageable. It doesn’t have to work for production, just to help students connect what they already know how to do in a file browser with how to do it in the command line - shell navigation with training wheels!
