About Joshuto
Joshuto is a terminal file manager modeled on ranger, rewritten in Rust. It navigates the filesystem from the keyboard in a terminal and is configured with files in its config directory.
It can optionally use xsel, xclip or wl-clipboard for clipboard support, and integrates with fzf and zoxide for fuzzy finding and jumping between directories. It is built with Cargo. It suits terminal users who like ranger's layout and want a Rust implementation.
Strengths
- Familiar ranger-style keyboard navigation
- Optional fzf and zoxide integration
