I think “do one thing well” depends on how you define the “thing”. For something interactive, the “thing” can be the whole workflow, not just one step of it — similar to how a browser isn’t just fetching HTML, but making the web usable.

If you want feature ideas, here are some I vibe-coded into my ncdu fork:

  d — send the selected item to trash
  D — delete the selected item directly (was d upstream)
  e — open the selected item with $EDITOR
  f — open the selected item with open(1)
  y — copy the selected item's path to the clipboard
  i — item info panel now shows a file(1) description in the Type row
  I — open a scrollable mediainfo pager for the selected file
Harmonies: I notice that the Bach mode in C major, given the notes C-D-E, produces Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7. Something like C G7 Am would be more Bach.

If you're interested in adding more scales, I have a wider range in my scale builder: https://xn--langy-yua.net/skala
