CliFM is a Command Line Interface File Manager: all input and
|
|
interaction is performed via commands. This is its main feature and
|
|
strength.
|
|
Unlike most terminal file managers out there, indeed, CliFM replaces
|
|
the traditional TUI interface also known as curses or text-menu based
|
|
interface by a command-line interface (CLI),1 also known as REPL.2
|
|
|
|
If working with the command-line, your workflow is not affected at all,
|
|
but just enriched with file management functionalities: automatic files
|
|
listing, files selection, bookmarks, tags, directory jumper, directory
|
|
and commands history, auto-cd and auto-open, bulk rename, TAB
|
|
completion, autosuggestions, and a trash system, among other features.
|
|
In this sense, CliFM is certainly a file manager, but also a shell
|
|
extension.
