I work mostly with a keyboard. It’s a 30-plus-year habit. The mouse is a secondary tool.

I use FAR Manager today, too, and I am deeply thankful to the people who continue developing it. FAR Manager became the first tool I install on each new machine, and it is the tool I use the most on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that FAR has also been ported to Linux, and I’m ashamed that I discovered it only today. The project is called “far2l” and is located here: GitHub – elfmz\/far2l: Linux port of FAR v2<\/a>. It works fine in Ubuntu, and I read it even works on Mac! I know there is MC (MidnightCommander), but I do not like it, so finding the FAR port for Linux was a huge surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, if you stumble upon a Linux variant in which far2l is not available, there is a good chance that you can still use it by downloading a “portable” pre-compiled binary variant of far2l from here: Releases \u00b7 spvkgn\/far2l-portable<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
