With great respect, and speaking as someone who has used both very extensively, I would argue Total Commander (on Windows) has got the upper hand of all those traditional NC clones.
I used ranger previously, but I’m an lf convert. It was a bit difficult to set some things up, but it’s blazing fast and there are things about it I prefer.
In this case, however, it cannot be said that I am using it as intended. The AUR helper I use, aurutils, uses Vifm to display the respective PKBUILD file during an update, for example.
I’ve tried a bunch like ranger, lf, vifm, sfm and even some different ones like clifm. I always come back to nnn though. Nothing beats its speed and config options.
I used to use nnn but I’ve recently fallen in love with xplr but honestly about 90% of the time I just use ls, cp and mv (although I sometimes also use broot as well).
I had straight up just never considered that terminal file explorers existed. This post has opened my eyes, and so here is my Saved comment. (Maybe one day, kbin will implement saving without commenting...)
