  Description     : terminal file manager written in Go

lf (as in "list files") is a terminal file manager written in Go. It is heavily
inspired by ranger with some missing and extra features. Some of the missing
features are deliberately omitted since they are better handled by external tools.

Features:

 - Single binary without any runtime dependencies (except terminfo database)
 - Fast startup and low memory footprint
 - Server/client architecture to share file selection between multiple instances
 - Configuration with shell commands
 - Customizable keybindings (vi and readline defaults)
 - Preview filtering (for source highlight, archives, PDFs/images as text, etc.)

I intend to maintain this package within the Debian Go team.
