Package: vifm (0.9.1-1)

flexible vi-like file manager using ncurses

Vifm is a file manager providing a vi-like usage experience. It has similar keybindings and modes (e.g. normal, command line, visual). The interface uses ncurses, thus vifm can be used in text-only environments. It supports a wide range of features, some of which are known from the vi-editor: 

 - utf8 support
 - user mappings (almost like in vi)
 - ranges in command-line commands
 - user defined commands (with support for ranges)
 - registers
 - operation undoing/redoing
 - fuse file systems support
 - trash
 - multiple files renaming
 - support of filename modifiers
 - colorschemes support
 - file name color according to file type
 - path specific colorscheme customization
 - bookmarks
 - operation backgrounding
 - customizable file viewers
 - handy less-like preview mode
 - filtering out and searching for files using regular expressions
 - one or two panes view
With the package comes a plugin to use vifm as a vim file selector.
