What is ranger?
ranger is a file manager with VI key bindings. It provides a minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. The secondary task of ranger is to psychically guess which program you want to use for opening particular files.
Design Goals
- An easily maintainable file manager in a high level language
- A quick way to switch directories and browse the file system
- Keep it small but useful, do one thing and do it well
- Console based, with smooth integration into the unix shell
Features
- UTF-8 Support (if your python copy supports it)
- Multi-column display
- Preview of the selected file/directory
- Common file operations (create/chmod/copy/delete/...)
- Renaming multiple files at once
- VIM-like console and hotkeys
- Automatically determine file types and run them with correct programs
- Change the directory of your shell after exiting ranger
- Tabs, Bookmarks, Mouse support

I love column view. The only problems I had with
Finder were:
White back ground, bothered my eyes,
Width of columns in "as Columns" view.
Ranger has solved them for me.

Super easy to create your own commands. Lets say you want to open folder in VS code. Just write ":alias code code %d" to create :code command then next time you write :code it opens the folder in VS code.
Best CLI based file manger!
very good functionally-wise and very good defaults, but, considering this is a file manager for the terminal, performance is horrible which will cause the user a high level of frustration.
