File Pilot: A file explorer built for speed with a modern, robust interface

With everything hand-written from scratch in C, just like God intended. Great work.

being able to hold down Ctrl-T, and just have it open tabs at the speed of the typematic rate is such a joy. it is really honestly disgusting (and I don't use that word lightly) how long it takes for explorer.exe to open a tab, open a context menu, or (god forbid!) open a window. genuine breath of fresh air to have a file explorer that isn't hot garbage.

Found plenty of screencaps on the Handmade page [1] and it looks refreshingly snappy ... and under 2MB in size!

Excellent work, OP. Complements to the chef.

Just wow. Seeing the demo, I just hope Microsoft can do somthing like that with current Explorer app. It's good now but still can improve more with something like File Pilot

It looks really great. Is there something similar for Linux?
