I love vifm! It honors the vim philosophy — it’s fast, configurable, and keyboard driven. I have it integrated with vim so that when I press “-“ it toggles a directory view. So seamless that it’s hard to tell that they’re separate apps.
This is one of those projects that could really use a "how does it compare to" section in the readme.<p>The number one question anyone who already uses a similar tool will have is, "How is it better or worse than whatever I'm already using?"
You can take advantage of hybrid user interface with Win-vind you know[0]<p>[0]<a href="https://github.com/pit-ray/win-vind" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pit-ray/win-vind</a>
I want to like this thing, but i always get the feeling that 1 or 2 accidental wrong keypresses could result in total chaos because i’ll have no idea what just happened to my files/folders…<p>(currently using Ranger)
vifm allows you to rename multiple files in bulk by opening a temporary file containing one filename per line in actual vim.<p>Edit: apparently ranger has this feature, too.
