xplr

Hackable, minimal, fast terminal file explorer (TUI) with Vim-like keybindings

Desktopfreeglobal

A minimal, hackable terminal file explorer with Vim-like keybindings, xplr runs in the terminal and is implemented in Rust. It helps users navigate and manage files entirely from the keyboard, addressing the slowness of GUI file managers for keyboard-driven workflows. Aimed at terminal power users who want a fast, customizable TUI alternative to ranger or nnn, it is popular on GitHub.
