This is taken from the list in another submission: "Unix tricks" or similar. I tried it today, but found not vim-like enough (no help under :h ?). I then started searching and found vifm: http://vifm.sourceforge.net/ http://vifm.sourceforge.net/ - and after a few minutes I was comfortable with it. I didn't use mc even once today; it's just day one so I don't know if this will stick with me, but it shows much promise.

- crazydiamond 14y agovifm is good. If you like vim movements, you can try zfm (its written in shell - https://github.com/rkumar/zfm https://github.com/rkumar/zfm), and if you like the default hint mode, try 'cetus' -- on the same git repo). After using vim movements in a file manager, my finding was that pressing 10j or 5gg etc to go to a file is a slow cumbersome way to move around, when you usually just want to open a file/page it or run an action on it. That's why using hints (as in vimperator) or shortcuts for each file is a much faster way of navigating. Just jump with one keystroke. Similarly it's cool to have vim bindings like "dG" or "d3gg" etc in your file manager (vimfm and zfm have it) but these are not really features that make a difference. It's the speed of getting 90% of your workflow done, and shortcuts/hints are what get that done fastest.
