There simply doesn't exist a GUI tool that does as much as 'mc' does.
By itself it's not enough for me, possibly because there's so little I can learn from a man page. For vttys I fully agree. but in GUI I spend considerably more time in fcl than mc.
'fcl' doesn't seem to be available in oS.
silk.apana.org.au provides rpms build for Leap 15.1 and Tumbleweed but none for Leap 15.2. also a repo.
I don't see anything named fcl in there, no rpms. I see something in http://silk.apana.org.au/fc2development.php, but this is not referred to in the main page. Only unstable branch. The stable seems to be: http://silk.apana.org.au/pub/fcl/filecommander-2.40-release1_opensuse10.i586... which is ancient. unstable: http://silk.apana.org.au/pub/fcl/nightly/filecommander-2.50-vgit_1753_opensu...
but I tested and was not overly impressed with fcl, especially the limited display window. to each his own.
I'm not impressed either. I get a standalone "GUI" window containing text that can not be resized. The button for "menu" does nothing, it is a user local menu. There is F1 to see the possible commands. There are things one can do if one remembers the hotkey for it - but without a menu, one has to remember them. Uninstalling. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
