A tui file manager with Vim-like key mapping, written in Rust.
Fast, simple, and easy to configure & use.
For the overview of this app, take a look at this README, especially
key manual.
For more detailed document, visit https://kyoheiu.dev/felix.
- Update dependencies for Rust 1.81.0. MSRV is the same as before (1.74.1).
ignore_case
option to the do case-insensitie search by/
.- Symbolic link destinations are now displayed when the cursor is hovered over them.
- Symlink items linked to directory now appears in the directory section, not the file section.
- MSRV is now v1.74.1
z
command can now receive multiple arguments:z dot files<CR>
works as in your terminal.
- Restore the cursor position properly after exit in a tmux (and possibly in other multiplexers) session.
:config
to point to the config file if exists.- felix listens to the change of the config file, and re-read the config automatically (after some key inputs).
- Refactor around
_run
andState::new()
.- Add
config_path
field toState
.
- Add
- symlink path and operations with it on Windows.
For more details, see CHANGELOG.md
.
OS | Status |
---|---|
Linux | works |
NetBSD | works |
MacOS | works |
Windows | not fully tested yet |
For Windows users: From v1.3.0, it can be at least compiled on Windows (see
.github/workflows/install_test.yml
.) If you're interested, please try and
report any problems.
package | installation command | notes |
---|---|---|
crates.io | cargo install felix |
Minimum Supported rustc Version: 1.74.1 |
Arch Linux | pacman -S felix-rs |
The binary name is felix if you install via pacman. Alias fx='felix' if you want, as this document (and other installations) uses fx . |
NetBSD | pkgin install felix |
- Make sure that
gcc
is installed. - MSRV(Minimum Supported rustc Version): 1.74.1
Update Rust if rustc < 1.74.1:
rustup update
git clone https://github.com/kyoheiu/felix.git
cd felix
cargo install --path .
To export your LWD to the calling shell after exiting from fx
,
add the following to your .bashrc
or
.zshrc
or an equivalent depending on your (POSIX) shell.
Assuming the fx
binary can be found in your PATH
.
source <(command fx --init)
If this is not set, exiting to LWD will fail and show the error message.
In addition, you can use felix more conveniently by installing these apps:
- zoxide: A smarter
cd
command, which enables you to jump to a directory that matches the keyword in felix. - chafa: Terminal graphics for the 21st century, by which you can preview images in felix. chafa must be v1.10.0 or later.
- bat: A cat(1) clone. Add syntax highlighting to the text preview with bat.
These apps do not need any configuration to use with felix!
If you install this app via pacman, the default binary name is felix
.

Install chafa
and you can preview images as well.
If any config file is not found, or found one is broken, felix launches with the default configuration, without creating new one.
Note that the default editor is $EDITOR
, so if you've not set it, opening a file will fail.
You can find default config file (config.yaml
) in this repository.
Both config.yaml
and config.yml
work from v2.7.0
Contrary to the config file, these directory and file will be automatically created.
config file : $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/felix/config.yaml(config.yml)
trash directory : $XDG_DATA_HOME/felix/Trash
log files : $XDG_DATA_HOME/felix/log
On macOS, felix looks for the config file in the following locations:
$HOME/Library/Application Support/felix/config.yaml(config.yml)
$HOME/.config/felix/config.yaml(config.yml)
trash directory : $HOME/Library/Application Support/felix/Trash
log files : $HOME/Library/Application Support/felix/log
config file : $PROFILE\AppData\Roaming\felix\config.yaml(config.yml)
trash directory : $PROFILE\AppData\Local\felix\Trash
log files : $PROFILE\AppData\Local\felix\log
You can configure these colors like this:
color:
dir_fg: LightCyan
file_fg: !AnsiValue 120
symlink_fg: LightYellow
dirty_fg: !Rgb [124, 30, 40]
