Superfile is a modern terminal file manager with a polished multi-panel interface, strong previews, and deep customization. It lets you browse, preview, and move files across panes the way a desktop file manager would, while staying fully keyboard-driven and fast.

Hi everyone!
Superfile brings a proper file-management workspace to the terminal.
Run spf and you can keep several directories open at once, move files between panels, search quickly, handle bulk operations, and preview code or images without leaving the terminal.
The interface is what makes it work so well. The layout is clear, the keyboard flow is easy to follow, and it already feels polished before you touch the config!
the multi-panel + live preview combo is the part I'd actually use daily over plain ls/cd. curious how it holds up in two scenarios that tend to break TUI file managers: a directory with tens of thousands of files (does listing and search stay snappy or does it need to index first), and running it over a laggy SSH connection where redrawing a rich UI can get janky compared to a bare-bones tool. those are the two things that'd decide whether this replaces my terminal workflow or just becomes a local-only nice-to-have
looks nice. one thing id be curious about is storage management. like can it help me find huge files, duplicate folders, old downloads, or other junk i dont need anymore? thats probably a workflow id use way more often than just browsing files.
Congrats on the launch! The UI looks incredibly clean for a terminal tool. I'm always looking for ways to reduce context switching when navigating through different projects and repositories. Are there any plans to integrate Git status directly into the file views (like highlighting modified or untracked files)? That would be a massive time-saver. Upvoted! 🚀
The multi-panel workflow looks genuinely useful for moving between projects without leaving the terminal. How does superfile handle conflicts or interrupted operations when moving large batches of files between panels?
Love it. I still remember using Norton Commander back in the day. Or actually xtree, which I loved, and none of my friends could comprehend :D

I'm already loving the way this looks even though I haven't tried it out yet.... We need more TUI tools like this!
