A tui file manager with vim-like key mapping, written in Rust. Fast, simple, and easy to configure & use.
Disable renaming non-ascii items: Wide characters such as CJK or characters that do not match our intuition caused panic, so before editing, item name is now checked if it contains only ascii characters.
For more details, see CHANGELOG.md.

| Key | Explanation |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| j / Key Up | Go up. If the list exceeds max-row, list "scrolls" before the top of the list. |
| k / Key Down | Go down. If the list exceeds max-row, list "scrolls" before the bottom of the list. |
| h / Key Left | Go to parent directory if exists. |
| l / Key Right / Enter | Open file or change directory. Commands for execution can be managed in config file. |
| gg | Go to the top. |
| G | Go to the bottom. |
| dd | Delete and yank item (item will go to the trash directory). |
| yy | Yank item. If you yanked other item before, its information is replaced by this one. |
| p | Put yanked item(s) in the current directory. If item with same name exists, copied item will be renamed with the suffix "_copied". |
| V | Switch to select mode, where you can move cursor to select items. |
| d (select mode) | Delete and yank selected items, and return to normal mode. |
| y (select mode) | Yank selected items, and return to normal mode. |
| u | Undo put/delete/rename. |
| Ctrl + r | Redo put/delete/rename. |
| v | Toggle whether to show preview (text, image(experimental), or the contents tree) on the right half of the terminal. |
| backspace | Toggle whether to show hidden items or not. This change remains after exit (stored in .session). |
| t | Toggle sort order (by name <-> by modified time). This change remains after exit (same as above). |
| : | Experimantal. Switch to the shell mode. Type command and press Enter to execute it. You can use any command in the displayed directory, but some commands may fail, and also, the display may collapse during execution. |
| c | Switch to the rename mode (enter the new name and press Enter to rename the item). |
| / | Switch to the filter mode (enter the keyword and press Enter to show the filtered list). |
| Esc | Return to the normal mode. |
| :cd \| :z | Go to the home directory. |
| :z \zoxide query <keyword>, so if the keyword does not match the zoxide database, this command will fail. |
| :e | Reload the current directory. Useful when something goes wrong. |
| :empty | Empty the trash directory. Please think twice to use this. |
| :h | Show help. (scrollable with j | k | Up | Down) |
| :q / ZZ | Exit. |
Note that items moved to the trash directory are prefixed with Unix time (like 1633843993) to avoid the name conflict. This prefix will be removed when put.

| config file | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/felix/config.toml |
| trash directory | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/felix/trash |
Default config file, which is here, will be created automatically when you launch the program for the first time.
In config.toml, you can set:
If you write
``` default = "nvim"
[exec] feh = ["jpg", "jpeg", "png", "gif", "svg"] zathura = ["pdf"] ```
then, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif and .svg files are opened by feh <file-name>, .pdf files by zathura <file-name> and others by nvim <file-name> .
