Hi, call me old school, but my muscle memory is stuck on ls -ltr (-l = long format, -t sort by time, newest first, -r reverse order). As distros alias ls to eza I constantly run into this error message: eza: Option --time (-t) has no "r" setting (choices: modified, changed,…

When called without a file or directory name argument, both ls and eza before v0.23.0 print the contents of the current directory to stdout. With v0.23.0, eza no longer prints the contents of the current directory to stdout. Is that intentional? This seems like a pretty…

When stdin is redirected to /dev/null, eza with no arguments exits silently without listing the current directory. Now... this might sound weird, but redirecting /dev/null to stdin is how a lot of sandboxes work. This breaks in sandboxed environments (bubblewrap (i.e. claude…

In eza default sorting is not the same lexicographical order as in ls command. The default sorting with eza is more like a natural sorting. Could you develop an option to get lexicographical sorting order? (eza --sort=lg for lexicographical) A second option to avoid sorting of…

It would be very helpful to have darwin binaries available in github releases for direct download.

Version: 0.23.5 When using eza --icons, the following argument is consumed as the value for the flag. This causes issues when using an shell alias for eza, as the argument following --icons will be the file name. This results in an "invalid value" error. I am using fish and…

It would be great to have something like eza -s xattr that automatically displays the files in that directory sorted alphabetically based on their xattr values.

I think it would be helpful to add an 'explain' subcommand, like the one starship has: It prints each fragment separately, and explains what rule causes it to appear. It would aid new users, those trying to make new themes, as well as anybody who just go "Wait, what's that?" that…
