Introduction

fm is a file browser for the terminal.

The main goal is to provide a faster way to explore a file system from the terminal, compared to what's possible by using cd, ls, etc. fm has vi-like key bindings for navigation and can open files in $PAGER and $EDITOR. Basic file system operations are also implemented (see fm(1) for details). fm is designed to be simple, fast and portable.

fm was forked from Rover and is still heavily a work in progress. Lots of features were removed that need to be reimplemented and more need to be fixed.
