  • Way back when DOSLinux existed the dev provided a Midnight Commander with a fully loaded F2 menu as well as setup associations. Could literally do almost anything and everything from within the file manager. I later moved the configs over to Slackware and pretty much lived in MC to get things done. At some point the MC code reduced the number of entries in the F2 menu so I would have to rebuild it to remove the limitation.

    No longer use it like that today but MC is used constantly for file management locally and remotely (mostly to a Kodi box).

    Using OFMs (Norton/Volkov/Midnight Commanders and FAR) has always been easier and faster to use than Explorer-style GUI FMs for me.


  • Oops, sorry. 😬

    TEL

    If one decides to mess with it, some notes. Last release was awhile back. I don’t use Android 12/13 so no idea how well it works there.

    Tel and Tel:API have same package names as Termux and Termux:API. Meaning there should be no trace of Termux on system before trying.

    Not really battery friendly when using the default status info up top.

    Powerful command line environment. Recommend that one is familiar / comfortable with the CLI.
