## What it is
Hunter is a fast, lag-free terminal file browser/manager written in Rust with an asynchronous, multi-threaded design that keeps it responsive even under heavy load. It offers tabs, bookmarks, search/filter, file previews, and integrates with standard CLI tools for file manipulation.

## Use cases
- browse files in the terminal quickly
- preview files and directories without leaving the terminal
- manage files using familiar CLI tools from a TUI
- replace ranger with a faster file manager
- run custom actions on files based on MIME type
- view subprocess output and exit codes inside a file manager

## When to choose
- you want a fast, responsive terminal file browser with previews
- you prefer ranger-like workflows with Emacs-flavoured keybindings
- you want to compose file operations with standard CLI tools
- you need robust handling of unusual file names

## When to avoid
- you need built-in file manipulation primitives like delete or rename
- you want a GUI file manager
- you need active development or frequent updates (last release 2022)
