The editors Vim and GNU Emacs can be used for file management. E.g., `vim` manages the current directory. In Emacs, `M-x dired` does this. I use console tools because I hate mice, icons, and window decorations. They require too much dexterity and thinking in pictures.

Good article! Please add yazi https://yazi-rs.github.io/, which has lots of features, sane defaults and very active development.

Thanks

@Leo,

Thank you! Yes, I’ve tested Clifm and found it very useful. I’ve added it to the article listing, and I’ve also written a separate article on it here – https://www.tecmint.com/clifm-fast-commandline-file-manager/
