For all the MacOS dual pane file-manager fans: I tried them all and only recently discovered Marta (https://marta.sh/ https://marta.sh/) which is now my favourite file manager!

Indeed, its ability to do simple navigation with single alpha homerow keys is alone almost worth all the missing functionality (and then there are also programmable extensions) Unfortunately its pace of development is very slow :(

Thanks for this. Been looking for a simple key-driven replacement for the Finder that I can keep open. Tweaked a few of the options for fonts and opening terminals and things and it's great (and fast as well).

What about Nimble Commander (https://magnumbytes.com https://magnumbytes.com)? I’ve been using it for years and it’s great. Did you try it and if so, how does it compare to Marta?

  Yes, Nimble Commander is wonderful. The developer took a lot of care and created a powerful and very fast tool. As a long time user of Total Commander on Windows I'd be crying sad tears if I had to limit myself to the basics that Finder provides on macOS.

  Wow, just tried this out. Seems great. The filter files, just by typing in a few characters. Nice.

    Yeah! And it has support for SFTP, SMB, etc. The real-time filtering is awesome.

  Yes! Came here to say this. I looked for years for a suitable TC replacement on Mac before I found Nimble Commander, which is just awesome.

I made a dual tab file manager 10 years ago for mac (https://github.com/neoneye/newton-commander https://github.com/neoneye/newton-commander). It's written in Objective C. Unlike other dual tab file managers, it use the spacebar for quicklook which I find more handy. In order to select files, use shift arrowup/arrowdown.
