Between all two-panel clones of the Norton Commander [1] FAR [2] is by far the best of the bunch /rimshot.

Very keyboard-oriented, extremely capable, super fast, open source with a vast plug-in library. A console app on top of that and it looks like the original. What's not to like.

This is eye opening to me. I have been swearing by Directory Opus for years, but I was also under the misguided impression that most Norton Commander clones were long gone. Love seeing so many alternatives, I’ll have to go check the, out.
