TUI File managers

[Buck Fankers]

On github, there is ... statement ...

In older distributions: use libpcre2-dev and libwxgtk3.0-dev instead of libpcre3-dev and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev

Ups, didn't see that, thanks

@Buck Fankers There's also this:
https://github.com/spvkgn/far2l-portable/releases

The AppImage won't run here but the portable tar unpacks and works OOTB (though I'm also under MX23 so YMMV).

Will try it out, thank you.

Edit, it is working in TTY mode, thanks again

For those who would like to share their favorite, lightweight, TUI (cli), file managers... here we go.

Here are a few tui file managers that I have enjoyed 'trying' to use:
- fff (mentioned by me in this thread) https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff
- vifm (was fun when I was trying to learn VI keybinding convention/ style tools) https://vifm.info/
- ranger (nice but not all that light & fast) https://github.com/ranger/ranger
- lf (ranger-like) https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
- nnn (I always manage to break this when I use it) https://github.com/jarun/nnn

Ranger and NNN has always been my go to. But love many others;

Plus other good ones;

TUIFI - This Terminal File Manager thinks it's a GUI; using uni-curses library which is (ncurses/pdcurses) Pure C in it's backend with fully mouse control.

XPLR - Rust + Lua - Literally anything can be change. Easy to customize with Lua scripting.

CLIfm - Is a shell-like, text-based terminal file manager that sits on the command line.
