calling kn results in an invalid sub-command error.

$ cd ~
$ kn .cargo
Value of arg `subcommand` is invalid.

A nice useful tool.
I used Cmder on Windows10.
Have kn considered working on them?

I am on old linux machine and the linux executable requires a specific version of g_libc.
Can you provide a musl version (the same way ripgrep does)?
Many thanks

In this situation:

.
── foo
│  └── bar
├── libfoo
│  └── bar

$ kn foo
$ kn ../lib-/bar
Path not found

I don't know if it's suppose to work so I'm reporting :)

Feel free to close is it's intended behaviour :)

Why is it called kn?

Running kn with no arguments kills the shell that it's running in. This is somewhat surprising and not how I'm used to tools in this category working (e.g. with zoxide/z, if no arguments are provided, then nothing happens).

What to do about . and .. in the middle of path abbreviation? With .. in paths the results would be too unpredictable. Are there any situations when .. show up in path? The user probably wouldn't type it but a command line tool could return such path.

I see double dots in filenames all the time when users create files on Windows where filename extensions are hidden by default. For example, when dealing with personal names: Truman, Harry S..pdf, Truman, H.S..pdf - Windows users just never see the .pdf at the end so no double-dots for them :)

I don't know if it's possible, but can we use kn with Powershell (Windows and Linux)

Installing kn with cargo install kn, saves the program as _kn. Probably not the nicest name.

The situation in a nutshell:

~
❯ cargo install kn --force
    Updating crates.io index
  Installing kn v0.3.0
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.42s
   Replacing /Users/virginiacool/.cargo/bin/_kn
    Replaced package `kn v0.3.0` with `kn v0.3.0` (executable `_kn`)

Two questions:

• Why executable is _kn?
• Why doesn't it work?
