Flexible vi-like file manager using ncurses

Vifm is a file manager providing a vi-like usage experience. It features similar keybindings and modes (e.g., normal, command line, visual). The interface uses ncurses, making vifm suitable for text-only environments.

It supports a wide range of features, some of which are familiar from the vi-editor:

 - UTF-8 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 management
 - Multiple files renaming
 - Support for filename modifiers
 - Colorschemes support
 - File name coloring according to file type
 - Path-specific colorscheme customization
 - Bookmarks
 - Operation backgrounding
 - Customizable file viewers
 - Handy less-like preview mode
 - Filtering and searching for files using regular expressions
 - One or two panes view

Additionally, vifm includes a plugin to use it as a file selector within vim.
