`lf` (as in "list files") is a terminal file manager written in Go.
|
|
It is heavily inspired by ranger with some missing and extra features.
|
|
Some of the missing features are deliberately ommited
|
|
since it is better if they are handled by external tools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- no external runtime dependencies (except for terminfo database)
|
|
- fast startup and low memory footprint (due to native code and static binaries)
|
|
- server/client architecture to share selection between multiple instances
|
|
- custom commands as shell scripts (hence any other language as well)
|
|
- sync (waiting and skipping) and async commands
|
|
- fully customizable keybindings
|
|
|
|
## Non-Features
|
|
|
|
- tabs or windows (handled by the window manager or the terminal multiplexer)
|
|
- built-in pager (handled by your pager of choice)
|
|
|
|
## May-Futures
|
|
|
|
- enchanced previews (image, pdf etc.)
|
|
- bookmarks
|
|
- colorschemes
|
|
- periodic refresh
|
|
- progress bar for file yank/delete paste
|
|
|
