Yep. When marking many files for selection the twin-pane file managers let your mind (and your stomach) rest easy. I sometimes use ranger with two or more tabs to similar effect.

There was/is a Tcl/TK twin-pane file manager I liked called FileRunner. It's showing it's age now and needs a rewrite -- not for beauty, which I'm not too concerned about, but for some glitches that have crept in with time and lack of maintenance. It seemed more mouse friendly than some other twin-pane FMs (or maybe it's just rose-tinted memory).



I'm using FAR in Windows (10 now) every day. I'm using it as my command-lime shell, really, never run cmd or powershell. For everything my console needs (and I'm using a lot of coretools/filetools in the form of mingw64).

I don't know how to live on Windows without it, it is first program I install, even earlier than alternative browser.
