So it is similar to Total Commander, but in editor. Or Double Commander…

  Just that it’s all done from the comfort of the editor one knows and loves, with the same key binding and semantics that at there, whether you edit files in fired, write code, a commit message or an email. Not to get too deep into this, but there’s this warm fuzzy feeling of not having to use /yet another different app/ that’s ever so slightly different to the optimal workflow you have otherwise

  One difference (I assume?): it’s programmable. It’s a directory editor written in the same VM in which the editor (Emacs) is written. This makes it compostable with your existing IDE toolset of macros, plugins, hotkeys, etc. For example: I never thought of using total commander to augment some custom hotkey in vim. But in Emacs it’s just another set of functions available right there.

    Get vidir, and spawn vidir from vim/nvi. It lets you use your editor as an interface to edit directorioes. Pretty fast to delete your files, or rename them.
