A modern file manager for the command line
One Last Feature
For those who prefer the command line, ranger has many advantages over mc
. It has an exhaustive set of commands, many of which have more than one alternative, and integrates well with a desktop environment to view files, in addition to providing convenient cheat sheets that are built into the interface. Also, customization is mostly a matter of adapting samples in the default configuration files. All of these are on top of an often unsung advantage of both mc
and Vim: Ranger keeps your hands firmly on the keyboard, reducing the repetitive stress of using a mouse. For that reason alone, some users might consider replacing Nautilus or Dolphin with ranger.
