xplr

xplr is a hackable, minimal, and fast terminal-based file explorer designed to boost productivity by serving as an interactive orchestrator for command-line utilities that work with the file system. Unlike traditional file managers, xplr aims to integrate existing shell commands and GUI tools through an intuitive, keyboard-controlled interface with real-time visual feedback.

The tool emphasizes hackability and extensibility, allowing users to customize and script their file management workflows. It features a Lua-based configuration system that enables deep customization of key bindings, layouts, and functionality. xplr is built to complement rather than replace standard shell commands, providing a visual layer that makes file operations more efficient and discoverable.

xplr is ideal for power users, developers, and system administrators who spend significant time managing files in the terminal and want a more interactive, customizable experience. Its plugin ecosystem and integration capabilities make it particularly appealing to those who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and want to leverage the full power of command-line tools within a unified interface.
