Vifm

Curses-based file manager with Vim-like keybindings, modes, and commands.

Desktopfree

Vifm is a curses-based terminal file manager that adopts Vim's modes, keybindings, and commands, giving Vim users full keyboard control over file management. It draws additional ideas from the mutt email client and follows the Unix philosophy of favoring customization over fixed workflows. It's aimed at Vim users who want file browsing and management to feel consistent with their existing editor habits.
