Long time nnn
user right now. But interested in hearing some other people suggestions in case I missed something more interesting.
I started with MC, went to nnn for a few months, then I moved to vifm.
Any spesific reason on choosing it?
Nice. Will try it
Yep, midnight commander is hands down the best file manager I’ve ever used.
With great respect, and speaking as someone who has used both very extensively, I would argue Total Commander (on Windows) has got the upper hand of all those traditional NC clones.

😁Lf or ranger
I generally I only do simple operations on the command line. A few
cp
,mv
,ls
… If I am doing much more than that I open a GUI manager.same.
back on dos i used xtreegold for everything.
but since moving to linux, it’s never occurred to me to use one.this thread has got me wondering but not sure i can see the need.
tab completion also makes handling directory structure easy enough.
I use xplr and I love it!
I use the terminal to manage files. That’s all
I consider ranger and fzf life changing, especially being able to get the full path of any file at my command prompt at a moment’s notice. It’s now as though navigating directories were gauche.
Mostly ranger.
Ranger, mostly for bulk renaming
