## What it is
Walk is a terminal file manager and navigator written in Go that serves as a replacement for cd and ls. It offers keyboard-driven directory navigation, file previews, image previews, fuzzy search, and file deletion with undo.

## Use cases
- navigate directories in the terminal with vim-style hjkl keys
- replace cd and ls with an interactive directory picker
- preview files and images without leaving the terminal
- fuzzy search for files and folders quickly
- delete files or directories with undo support
- jump to a directory and have the shell cd into it on exit

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fast terminal file navigator written in Go
- you prefer vim-style keybindings for filesystem navigation
- you want cd/ls replacement that integrates with bash, zsh, fish, or PowerShell
- you need built-in file and image previews in the terminal

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured file manager with bulk operations, tabs, or dual panes
- you prefer a GUI file manager
- you need network or remote filesystem browsing
- you want extensive plugin or scripting capabilities
