> The Linux version is 20MB, seems relatively heavy
I don't think 20 MB is heavy and don't think it makes sense to spend time on reducing this size. It's much more important for the project to focus on eg. better onboarding and/or still missing basic features.
The Win version is an online installer. That's why it's 1 MB.

Integration of features from Sublime Text, like Ctrl+P for quickly jumping to directories or the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) for quickly discovering and invoking all features.

That's very good feedback. You're right I should change this. Thanks!
> Also, why ctrl+p
That's the shortcut which Sublime Text uses.
> Installing plugins one at a time gets slow quickly
Sure but you don't have to do it very often. You're right it would be useful to be able to install several plugins at once; But there are bigger fish to fry atm.

It purposely requires you to use the mouse to make the nag screen a little more annoying, so you will get a license [1]
Then it's not FileManager it's SublimeFileManager and that's who/how you should target. Or add more "modes" (ie: keystroke groups) "do you think of this like web-browsers (ctrl-l) or sublime (ctrl-p) or bash (ctrl-t) or midnight commander (ctrl-??)"
