Vifm – Vim-like file manager

      

Latest release is 0.13. This file last updated on 04 April 2023.

Brief Description

Vifm is a curses based Vim-like file manager extended with some useful ideas from mutt. If you use Vim, Vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files without having to learn a new set of commands. It goes not just about Vim-like keybindings, but also about modes, options, registers, commands and other things you might already like in Vim.

Just like Vim, Vifm tries to adhere to the Unix philosophy. So instead of working solutions which are set in stone user is provided with a set of means for customization of Vifm to one's likings. Though builtin functionality should be enough for most of use cases.

A good idea for quick start might be skimming over cheatsheet for the main mode (that is Normal mode), reading some sections on basic usage on the wiki and looking at sample configuration file (run :edit $MYVIFMRC).

vifm-colors's Issues

My suggestion for a new addition

Hello!

I've had my own dark color scheme for ViFM for a while now, and was wondering if you would be interested in adding it to your list. You can find it here.

I'll be making a PR soon, so accept it if you wish :)

Contributing guidelines

Hi! I was wondering if there are any guidelines I should follow for adding a new color scheme.

Btw, I want to add the nord color scheme.

Can not apply colorscheme

Hi!
I'm evaluating vifm and would like to apply one of your color schemes.
First I've downloaded zenburn color scheme using wget which placed it into the colors folder.
Then I tried to apply it by entering a command:

:colorscheme zenburn

I get the "The :colorscheme command is reserved" message and the colors remain the same.

I also tried to put the "colorscheme zenburn" and "colorscheme=zenburn" as the last line in the vifmrc and still got the default colors.

Could you please elaborate more thoroughly how can one apply a color scheme or maybe post an example of your vifmrc file?

Thanks in advance!

Feature requests: Add support for vim color schemes

It would be really neat if all I would need to do, is use my existing vim color scheme and have it available in vifm

Solarized Dark is present, but not Solarized Light?

I thought these should go hand and hand, there's even Yin and Yang symbol on the page

http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized

Should be easy enough to fix, I guess, maybe I'll make a PR.

README: links to screenshots

Hello,
How about to change a bit README.md ?

something like:

• Desert
• G80 (screenshot)
• Matrix (1, 2, 3, ..,)
• ...
• Zenburn_1 (juef's version) (scrot)

or:

G80	1, 2, 3, 4, ..,
Matrix	I, II, III, IV, ..,

Zenburn_1 (juef's version)	a, b, c, d, ..,

color scheme is not supported by the terminal

Hi,

I want to use vifm in an MSYS2 environment called from bash. I'm using ConEmu terminal.

$ export TERM=xterm-256color
$ tput colors
256
$ vifm

If I set colorscheme Zenburn in my vifmrc or I type :colorscheme zenburn
within vifm, I get the folowing error:
"zenburn" color scheme is not supported by the terminal, restored "<built-in default>"

Not sure if this is intended or the file just needs to be updated here.
