I tried to love mc, but its ergonomics felt slightly off. Maybe it's just hard to rewire my Norton / Volkov Commander / FAR Manager muscle memory, I don't know

I ended up being on a Linux fork of Far Manager, which works beautifully: https://github.com/elfmz/far2l



While I use command line tools on Linux daily, using a console-based tool that pretends to be a GUI tool is a bridge too far, so I prefer GUI-based dual pane file managers like Double Commander or Krusader.

Of course mc and far can be used over an SSH connection, so they have their advantages too...
