Nemo: I can't move to search results without the mouse. This is unacceptable in 2026... But at least it has Meld as an awesome file-compare plugin in the Software Manager. However, it has no audio statistics and can't view audio metadata in file properties.

Thunar: I can select search results by keyboard, but I can't cut and paste files from an external drive to the internal drive; for some reason "Paste" is grayed out. It has no "open as root" folder feature, but I can at least cut regardless in Nemo without root access.

Yazi: I can't even install it because sudo apt install snapd, which seems to be a prerequisite to getting it on here, is yielding:

Package snapd is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'snapd' has no installation candidate

I had bad experiences with Double Commander and Dolphin on Windows; it was just harder to do stuff and the context menus felt lacking. Are they still worth trying?

I just want to be able to tab over from the query field to the results. It's insane that Nemo doesn't have this. I'll revisit Dolphin, thanks.
