## What it is
superfile is a modern, visually polished terminal file manager built with Go and the Bubble Tea framework. It offers multi-panel navigation, fuzzy search, bulk file operations, image preview, customizable hotkeys, themes, and community plugins.

## Use cases
- manage files from the terminal with a modern UI
- copy move and rename files without leaving the shell
- browse directories in multiple panes side by side
- fuzzy search for files quickly in the terminal
- customize a terminal file manager with themes and hotkeys
- preview images and file metadata while navigating
- replace a GUI file manager with a keyboard-driven TUI

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want a fast, beautiful file manager
- you want multi-panel file operations with cross-panel copy/paste
- you value UI polish, themes, and plugin extensibility
- you need a lightweight tool for everyday file tasks on Linux, macOS, or Windows

## When to avoid
- you need a maximally feature-packed file manager (the author suggests Yazi or others for that)
- you work exclusively through a GUI and dislike keyboard-driven tools
- your terminal lacks Nerd Font support and you dislike slightly degraded UI

## Facets
