Re: TUI File Managers
Some different type of file managers for terminal use, all in development it seems
Cross platform
lf - Terminal file manager
https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
lf (as in "list files") is a terminal file manager written in Go. It is heavily inspired by ranger with some missing and extra features. Some of the missing features are deliberately omitted since they are better handled by external tools.
nnn - is a full-featured terminal file manager
https://github.com/jarun/nnn
nnn can analyze disk usage, batch rename, launch apps and pick files. The plugin repository has tons of plugins and documentation to extend the capabilities further e.g. preview, (un)mount disks, find & list, file/dir diff, upload files.
It runs smoothly on the Pi, Termux (Android), Linux, macOS, BSD, Haiku, Cygwin, WSL, across DEs and GUI utilities or a strictly CLI environment.
Linux
ranger - A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console
https://github.com/ranger/ranger
ranger is a console file manager with VI key bindings. It provides a minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. It ships with rifle, a file launcher that is good at automatically finding out which program to use for what file type.
Rover - simple file browser for the terminal
https://lecram.github.io/p/rover/
Rover has a Terminal User Interface (TUI) designed to fit in a small terminal window. There are ten tabs, but only one is visible at each time, selected by keys 0-9.

Re: TUI File Managers
- Added lf.
- nnn dev seems to have something against Windows.
- ranger is python, which has a centralized repo (see this post), so I am not keen on navigating that ocean. I think we can include python apps that have a compiled executable.
- It seems rover is not for Windows.

Re: TUI File Managers
Vifm is a file manager (dual pane!) with curses interface, which provides Vi[m]-like environment for managing objects within file systems, extended with some useful ideas from mutt.
If you use vi, Vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files without having to learn a new set of commands.

Website: https://vifm.info/
Downloads: https://vifm.info/downloads.shtml
Installation:
- Download the single binaries 32/64 version ZIP file, unpack to a folder
- Copy "data\vifmrc" to the "vifm.exe" folder (e.g. one folder "up") before starting "vifm.exe" - otherwise this file will be created in AppData
- Edit vifmrc to point to your personal preference (replace less.exe with mtr for example and vim with your prefered editor)
