look at ranger FIle Manager with VIM shortcuts. The fastest and best File Manager I have ever used. http://ranger.nongnu.org/

Surprisingly I stopped using it because a few times, it was lagging.

Well it is built on Python and for the life of me I never have a consistent experience with several python tools. (I still love Python, but I have really stopped using it personally)

Yeah, I know, I didn't expect blazing fast, it was just that too much slow for me to notice and stop caring. Retrying now, maybe python changed, maybe I did, maybe my laptop.

Ranger hicups very rearly. The speed of doing my files is just way to easy. I love :bulkrename with vim opens up and I change the file names in Vim :wq and boom files renamed.

It varies hugely for a single user (me).

That looks _fantastic_. Thanks!

If you like having media previews in console windows, terminology is also a lot of fun.

ranger does this with image previews in xterm/uxterm and rxvt/urxvt.

For those who have as much difficulty googling this as I did: https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology
