A comment on Ranger: A console file manager with VI key bindings.

just a reminder: vim has it's own file browser netrw:

    vim .
It has many known bugs but I use it because it don't need any extra install/config patching. Just simple file browser to find a file to open in vim.

Someone knows if you can replace that vim interface with ranger itself, BTW? That could be quite handy in a pinch (having a split dedicated to ranger, for instance).

i wish it had more features though, like creating new files or directories, moving them, etc, while updating buffers that have those files open...

Fern has all of this and it's really fast too. It even supports marking multiple files to do renames in a Vim buffer.

I just made a video about it yesterday at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFc2kr734rs
