About:
Xplr is a terminal file explorer written in Rust that prioritizes speed and keyboard-driven navigation. It features a highly reactive UI and a Lua-based configuration system, allowing users to customize keybindings, themes, and behaviors extensively. Its minimalist design focuses on efficiency, making it a powerful tool for developers and system administrators who prefer working within the command line.
Key Features:
  • Lua-based configuration for deep customization
  • High performance with instant startup times
  • Keyboard-driven, Vim-like navigation
  • Live filtering and sorting of files
Use Cases:
  • Rapidly navigating and managing large codebases or file systems
  • Automating file organization tasks via custom scripts
  • Customizing a personal file management workflow for server environments
Alternatives:
  • ranger – Xplr is often faster and uses a different configuration approach (Lua vs Python).
  • lf – Xplr offers a more reactive UI and different extensibility model.
