ranger and I have nothing but praise for it. That’s as a Linux user of 15 years, formerly a bit of a skeptic about the use of such a tool. I use it not just as a file manager but as a platform for launching scripts and GUI programs via key bindings. I’ve pretty much turned it into a TUI desktop environment at this point. Because, yes, it is possible to do computing more efficiently than with a CLI alone, whatever the purists may say. For me, TUI tools are the sweet spot: less keystrokes, less memorizing, but also extremely hackable given that there’s no GUI to deal with.
Addendum: and fzf in the scripts! Like someone else said, this simple little tool makes so much possible.
I consider ranger and fzf life changing, especially being able to get the full path of any file at my command prompt at a moment’s notice. It’s now as though navigating directories were gauche.
