I actually left CLEX for cd and ls. big_smile

Just aliased 'ls -la' to l, it is way faster than any file browser. Just give it a try..

Re: File Browsing for Freaks (i.e. 'advanced users')

I use mc all the time, but yesterday i started to use vifm, and i must say WOW, it's amazing, im getting used to it and i need to throw here a few hints directly from the developer...

- is there a way to do a file "move" to the other panel without using the "trash"? i mean, instead of yanking the files, putting them on the other dir and then deleteing them?
- is there a way of easily renaming a file? in mc i do a lot of "mv original_name new_name" copying the original name with a easy CTRL+ENTER-KEY
- if i do a ":!" with a rather large command, the program exits, is that a bug or is another way to run commands?
Vifm just passes all commands to a shell and doesn't really have any
builtin file commands.  To set a command to move files you would use
something like
       :command mv %f %D
Which would move any selected file or the current file, if no files are
selected, to the directory in the other pane.  To rename a file you can
set a command or use 'cw' like in vim.  There are a lot more bugs in
vifm than in mc.  If it is exiting when you use ":!" with a large
command it is a bug.  I know the version in the git repository has that
problem.

I hope that helps
