What it is

A text-based file manager that runs in the terminal, letting you browse directories, copy, move, rename and delete files from a multi-panel interface. It supports custom themes, configurable hotkeys including a vim-style preset, and plugins. People who live in the shell use it to handle everyday file work on Linux and macOS without switching to a graphical browser; Windows support is partial.
