superfile

The multi-panel preview that actually renders images, videos, and code side by side without breaking a sweat is exactly what makes this feel like a real desktop manager in the terminal. Nicely done.

This is awesome maybe I can push more friends to linux if they had this in the terminal xD

multi-panel plus real previews without leaving the terminal is genuinely the thing I miss from GUI file managers, nice to see it done keyboard-first instead of bolted on. question outside the performance stuff already asked - is there a shared theme/config gallery or plugin registry forming around this, the kind of thing where people post their dotfiles setup. that ecosystem is usually what decides if a TUI tool becomes a daily driver people customize for years or just a neat launch that fades

Love that superfile brings a true multi-panel workspace to the terminal, keeping everything keyboard-driven means I never break flow to reach for the mouse.

Love seeing modern TUI tools get this level of polish @zac_zuo! Breaking away from single-panel terminal navigation saves so much context-switching.For keyboard-heavy workflows, how flexible is the keybinding engine? Can users configure Vim-like modal navigation (like relative line jumps or custom motion macros between panes), and does config reloading happen dynamically on file save without needing to restart the session?

been wanting a proper file manager that lives in my terminal and this actually delivers, the multi panel setup feels really natural to navigate

The multi-panel workflow looks genuinely useful for moving between projects without leaving the terminal. How does superfile handle conflicts or interrupted operations when moving large batches of files between panels?

Love it. I still remember using Norton Commander back in the day. Or actually xtree, which I loved, and none of my friends could comprehend :D

Congrats on the launch! The UI looks incredibly clean for a terminal tool. I'm always looking for ways to reduce context switching when navigating through different projects and repositories. Are there any plans to integrate Git status directly into the file views (like highlighting modified or untracked files)? That would be a massive time-saver. Upvoted! 🚀

looks nice. one thing id be curious about is storage management. like can it help me find huge files, duplicate folders, old downloads, or other junk i dont need anymore? thats probably a workflow id use way more often than just browsing files.

the multi-panel + live preview combo is the part I'd actually use daily over plain ls/cd. curious how it holds up in two scenarios that tend to break TUI file managers: a directory with tens of thousands of files (does listing and search stay snappy or does it need to index first), and running it over a laggy SSH connection where redrawing a rich UI can get janky compared to a bare-bones tool. those are the two things that'd decide whether this replaces my terminal workflow or just becomes a local-only nice-to-have

I'm already loving the way this looks even though I haven't tried it out yet.... We need more TUI tools like this!

Hi everyone!Superfile brings a proper file-management workspace to the terminal.Run spf and you can keep several directories open at once, move files between panels, search quickly, handle bulk operations, and preview code or images without leaving the terminal.The interface is what makes it work so well. The layout is clear, the keyboard flow is easy to follow, and it already feels polished before you touch the config!
