ranger though 😍 ranger can load images to terminal, like sixel graphics
- ranger is sooo slow though. I'm using yazi btw.
  
  This looks to be more powerful and has more potential. Thanks for sharing.
  
  Try lf then. You can configure it to work just like ranger (see project wiki)
  
  Can yazi display images?

Now we need a comparison article about fff, ranger, and nnn. I chose ranger, but quite arbitrarily at the time. I tried nnn, but my fingers kept being used to ranger.
- nnn has the worst learning curve, but at least the number of commands is brief and all fit on the one help page. I was wishy-washy on it until the selection improvements last year, but now I reach for it about half the time I do anything file/dir related - even the short things, and 100% for anything batch-related.
  
  Thank you. What makes the learning curve bad in your opinion? I only tried it for a few minutes.

Seems to be an abandoned project? Last code change was three years back.
- If it works, why update it?
  
  Then that must be one tool that’s stuck in past and willing to include more features.
  And also a sign original developers have lost interest in project.

This looks like nnn.

Ugly
