Fzfm is a terminal-based file manager inspired by tools like Ranger, nnn, lf, vifm, etc. It leverages bash, fzf, and Kitty (via icat for image preview) to offer a user-friendly way to navigate and manage files from the terminal. Fzfm supports file previewing, directory traversal, and viewing images (albeit with limited functionality).

To install Fzfm, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jdpedersen1/fzfm.git

2. Navigate to the fzfm directory:

   cd fzfm

3. Grant execution permissions to the scripts:

   chmod +x *.sh

4. Optionally, add the directory to your PATH if you prefer to run the scripts without typing the full path.

• fzf: For fuzzy file searching and selection.

The following programs are required for file previews. You can modify the scripts to use alternatives if needed:

• libreoffice: For opening Word documents.
• zathura: For opening PDFs.
• mpv: For video playback.
• sxiv: For image viewing.
• neovim or vim: For editing text files.
• gimp: For opening .xcf files.
• bat: For previewing text files with syntax highlighting.
• kitty: For image preview (Kitty terminal emulator is required for this feature).

• Traverse file tree.
• Preview files and directories before opening.
• Open files with appropriate applications based on file type.
• Create new files and directories.
• Delete files and directories.
• Image preview (requires kitty terminal emulator).

• Copy files and directories.
  • Warning: If the target directory already contains a file or directory with the same name, it will be overwritten.

• File extraction and compression.
• File renaming functionality.

• Unexpected behavior may occur after creating files or directories. This is being investigated.
