https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnzuzcCPYsk nnn

cd on quit in NNN

if you mean the C-g behaviour then you need to set $NNN_TMPFILE:
    nnn() {
      declare -x +g NNN_TMPFILE=$(mktemp --tmpdir $0.XXXX)
      trap "rm -f $NNN_TMPFILE" EXIT
      =nnn $@
      [ -s $NNN_TMPFILE ] && source $NNN_TMPFILE
    }
    
You can use a static file if you're sure you'll never be running more than one instance.
I'd prefer something like:

    nnn() {
      local tmp=$(mktemp --tmpdir $0.XXXX)
      trap "rm -f $tmp" EXIT
      =nnn -p $tmp $@
      [ -s $tmp ] && cd ${"$(< $tmp)":h}
    }
That will cd to the selected file's directory with enter/right, or do nothing if you simply quit. 
I guess it depends if you use it for browsing a lot or simply picking a file.
 
Pressing `!` in the target directory will open a new terminal session within nnn, with that path as working dir. 
When you `exit` you'll land in nnn again.
It's not exactly the same but close enough for me.

Tools

If you like terminal productivity I recommend: fzf https://betterprogramming.pub/meet-fzf-a-fuzzy-finder-to-enhance-your-command-line-workflow-a2890f6a70f8 Facebook path picker (aka fpp), fd, ripgrep, lf, tig

Some honorable mentions: tokei, hyperfine, lazydocker, ctop, ncspot. bat, exa, percol, GNU dialog or zenity, xsv, ministat, gnuplot, tshark, mitmproxy.

Plus any project from sharkdp and burntsushi and any tools recommended by Brendan Gregg.

ht editor is a personal favorite too (press F6 and go to image to get started).
