Any console file manager with micro key binding?

[littledgg]

I just want to find a suitable console file manager, but everyone recommends ranger, I don't want to learn too much about vi/vim, also about ranger, so what console file manager you are using? Is there one with micro key binding?🫡

I've been trying out yazi, it seems to be alright. I'm not sure what you mean by "micro key binding". The way I would use it is to run yazi, navigate to a file, and press enter to open it in the text editor specified by the $EDITOR environment variable (which I have set to micro). Then to get back to the file manager and open another file you just quit micro.

Thanks for recommending it.
In ranger, it said"Ranger is a console file manager with VI key bindings", so I used "micro key binding".👌

"VI key bindings" in that context refers to a particular way of navigating using letter keys (hjkl for up-down-left-right). There is no micro equivalent for that as micro is a modeless editor – you simply use the arrow keys as usual. Arrow keys still work in both ranger and yazi, you don't really need to learn or take advantage of the vi bindings even though they exist.
