NAME
sfm - small short-cut driven gtk based file manager
SYNOPSIS
sfm
DESCRIPTION
This program is a simple file manager. It's meant to be small and fast
and have a lot of shortcuts. You can associate actions with files
(using its extension or its type given by file(1)). A popup menu gives
you the available commands and shortcuts. You can have multiple views
talking between each others. The filenames are colored using the
LS_COLORS variable. You can also use it as a directory traveller. It
uses the gtk+ library.
You have the ability to not use the mouse at all, using mnemonics and
shortcuts. I really think something like kfm and xfm is too slow and
not enough shortcut driven. This program is meant to minimize memory
consumption and to be very fast.
