What do you mean by "recall"? FAR Manager (which is modern incarnation of NC) is second program I install on any new Windows system (after Firefox). All these graphical file managers (both Explorer and Finder) are unusable to me. Absence of FAR is one of the main reasons I can not bear MacOS and, no, Midnight Commander is not replacement for modern FAR.

  Does it have command line and terminal embedded?

Heh, I've been there as well a decade ago when switching from windows to macos. Far manager was also the first program I'd also install on any box. I can assure you, this will eventually pass :) To be fair, far is also not a match to modern file browsers like https://binarynights.com https://binarynights.com (forklift), especially if you need s3 integration etc

  I've worked 6 months on corporate Macbook Pro 16" (M1 Max), and changed it to Dell (which is SLOWER) as soon as it become possible :-) And, not, FAR IS match to these browsers, as here are hundreds if not thousands plugins. S3? We got it. DropBox? We got it. Any file-access protocol, including IMAP (!)? We got it! Also, editor with syntax coloring of hundreds of text formats, embedded command line with history (which works perfectly with addition of POSIX tools, like find, grep, cut, xargs, sort, etc), several ways to rename files by template ("multiple rename" in ForkLift features), etc, etc, etc. Almost any task by organizing, editing and managing files you can name has plugin for FAR, if it is not embedded feature. Does ForkLift support full-powered perl-compatible regular expressions for its operations? FAR does, including batch search-n-replace in text files (and archives!). And it is only 1% of available plugins :-) Plus all of that is controlled by keyboard, no mouse required at all. And all shortcuts are configurable, and here is embedded macro recording abilities.
