What terminal file manager that you use, if any?

@theodore vifm, it works by analogy with vim commands :- yy to copy a file

• dd to delete
• v to visually select

and so on. Double panel, tabs, the most complete file manager I know.

mc (aka. GNU Midnight Commander) , nice layout controls, ini configuration for filetypes+actions and built-in remote protocol integrations

I have MC installed. I have used it before but I can’t say that I ever actually use it.

If I’m doing something so awful that it can’t be handled efficiently with ls, MV and regex, I’m probably going to be melting the drive into something with a full GUI

midnight commander, I still have Norton commander muscle memory.

Ranger with mount script.

(I don’t want the drives to be mounted automatically.)

vifm because it’s extremely fast, you can copy or move files between the dual panes, or switch to single pane mode. The bulk rename option works better in vifm compared to ranger. I also really like lf because it’s a ranger clone written in go, but it has some bugs when opening PDFs or videos.

Either nnn or ranger for me.
