   i started using this when i was in school. this was cool file manager+text editor it was all nice apart from the fact that if you don't understand any language apart from english then It will be difficult for you to understand it's advanced features like plugin's and all. i mainly used this for writing code.

   🏁 Competitors: there is no one who can compete with this vintage beast.

   👍 Pros:    This is very light weight file manager+code editor so even if you have old pc you can run this with full speed.|If you do competitive programming then this is for you this editor is so accurate that even sublime text fails in front of this vintage beast.|As name suggests file manger you can manage your files better than any other code editor's like clion,sublime text,visual studio code etc...|If you understand all features of far manager you will litrally get addicted to it.

   👎 Cons:    As most of the instructions are in russian or ukranian you might find it difficulty in start.|As most of the istructions for advanced features are in russian or ukranian you might find difficulty to install some plugins.

  Nnn [1] seems like a more advanced tool (directory management, copying, renaming, packing/unpacking) and pluggable. [1] https://github.com/jarun/nnn. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Terminal file manager nnn v4.8 released

  In case you haven't come across nnn earlier, it is a tiny full-featured terminal file manager written for performance and productivity - https://github.com/jarun/nnn. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best way to create a new file from within helix?

  Another option is to create a file in the command line, but quitting from the editor can be a bit of a hassle. So, what we can do is split the screen with tmux or zellij. Use a file manager if you prefer visual. Personally use nnn. Source: over 1 year ago

• I wrote a super minimal, fast file manager in BASH v5+. Looking for testers/contributors

  I used your program for a little bit and it is a very nice effort. Although I would like to ask you, why not use nnn as a file manager which is insanely fast and has several functionalities as well. I am hoping you are aware of the project. Source: over 1 year ago
