The user-friendly Krusader brings the time-honored twin-panel file manager format to the Linux desktop and offers easy shortcuts for keyboard users.

Krusader is a graphical file manager based on the twin-panel paradigm. The Krusader file manager was created early in 2000 by two enthusiastic programmers who wanted a graphical twin-panel file manager for the KDE environment and couldn’t find one.

The concept of a twin-panel file managers (which is also called an orthodox file manager) is not a new concept.
