About GNU Midnight Commander

GNU Midnight Commander is a visual file manager that runs in a full-screen text interface. It can copy, move, and delete files or entire directory trees, search for files, and run commands in an integrated subshell. This provides a keyboard-oriented way to navigate and manage files without a graphical desktop file manager. The application also includes an internal file viewer and editor, allowing users to inspect or make changes to files from within the same interface. Its two-panel visual layout helps users work across directories while performing file operations. The product is free software under the GNU General Public License. The supplied description does not list remote-file protocols or editor capabilities, so those details are not assumed.
