## The Future of Plugins
|
|
Wave's file viewer plugins are just the beginning of our journey to revolutionize the way you interact with files in the terminal.
|
|
|
|
In the future, we plan to introduce a simple alias like `/view` that will intelligently render any supported file type, eliminating the need to memorize individual commands for each file format and providing a more intuitive and streamlined experience.
|
|
|
|
Stay tuned for more updates and plugins that will further empower your workflow and boost your productivity within the command-line environment. |
