Could you implement a feature that makes it possible to cd into a compressed archive as though it were a normal directory?

That's an ambitious and fascinating feature request!

Implementing transparent archive navigation (mounting archives as virtual directories) is definitely on my 'dream features' list for GRSH. Since the shell is written in Rust, I've been looking into FUSE-based solutions or leveraging something like libarchive to create a virtual file system layer.

It’s a bit complex to get right—especially for performance and write support—but I've opened an issue on GitHub to track this idea. I'd love to explore this once the FreeBSD Port and core stability are finalized.

Thanks for the great suggestion!
