README.md

cfiles

cfiles is a work in progress terminal file manager written in C using the ncurses library. It aims to provide an interface like ranger while being lightweight, fast and minimal.

Compiling and Installation

To compile, run

gcc cf.c -lncurses -o cf

To install, simply move the generated executable to a directory that is in your $PATH

Why C?

I wanted to improve my C and learn ncurses so I decided this would be an ideal project.

Apart from this, I have always wanted an alternative to ranger that is faster while still having a similar UI.

Todo

  • Improve Upwards Scrolling
  • Show sorted directories before files
  • Fix the G keybinding

  • Add image previews using w3mimgdisplay
  • Preserve aspect ratio in image previews
