## What it is
Joshuto is a ranger-like terminal file manager written in Rust with a TUI interface. It supports clipboard integration, optional fzf and zoxide integration, and is configurable via TOML.

## Use cases
- manage files from the terminal without a GUI
- ranger alternative written in Rust
- keyboard-driven file manager for the terminal
- browse and copy/move files in a TUI
- fast file navigation with fuzzy finding and zoxide

## When to choose
- you want a ranger-style file manager with a modern Rust implementation
- you work primarily in the terminal on Linux or macOS
- you want a lightweight, configurable TUI file manager

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical file manager with drag-and-drop
- you need Windows-native support
- you prefer mouse-driven file management
