A Linux port of FAR Manager v2, a powerful file manager and terminal multiplexer for Unix-like systems.
What is far2l?
far2l is a Linux port of FAR Manager v2, a dual-pane file manager and terminal multiplexer originally for Windows. It provides a keyboard-driven interface for efficient file operations, remote file access via plugins, and scripting support, bridging the gap between Windows FAR users and Unix-like systems.
System administrators, developers, and power users familiar with FAR Manager on Windows who want a native Linux alternative, or Unix users seeking a keyboard-centric, plugin-extensible file manager.
far2l offers the full FAR Manager experience on Linux with native performance, multiple UI backends (GUI/TTY), and a rich plugin ecosystem for remote file access, archives, and scripting, all while maintaining cross-platform compatibility.
