Review

I’ve tried quite a few file managers over the years, from Midnight Commander to GUI ones such as Caja and Thunar. I always seem to be coming back to good ol’ MC. That being said, I’ve seen to recommended by the nice folks over at TerminalTrove, so I took a look, especially due to the fact that it was written in GoLang, a big fav of mine.

Well all I can say is wow, for a keyboard only file manager, it’s fantastic, and very easy to pick up. Colorful, icons all over the interface. It may be too much visually for some more spartan users, but for me, I love a VISUAL TUI. The BubbleTea framework really shines here for sure. It’s even got a basic image render, even if it’s a bit pixel-y.🖌

I do wish it had proper mouse support, but it is what it is. Also would be nice if it full image previews, but I get that can be hard to support.

Pros / Cons

👍 Great interface
👍 Easy to learn
👍 Great interface
👍 Nice Previews
👍 Easy Install
