- Filemanager - low mem, but reasonably comfortable?
- Posted by Anton on February 26th, 2004
Konqueror is pretty cool, but what if I insist on speed with a filemanager?
MC is alright, but my version lacks mouse support.
Console is slow for me when it comes to typing in file names.
What is your choice?

Meta-Return copies whatever file or dir is under the cursor to the commandline.

MC takes a bit to learn, but is an incredible tool. Throw in some of your
own scripts and you've got the best desktop environment in the world.
I don't use a mouse with MC.
The manpage is a lot more useful than its internal help files. You can open
it in the shell "behind" mc which you get to and from with Ctrl-o, but
when you return to it from playing with MC, you have to do a Ctrl-r to
restore the screen.
Oops. I am rambling. .

If you are going to master the computer you are going to have to learn how
to touch type. No way around it.

unless you can type fairly well)
